Minnow traps (wire mesh traps) were deployed at three sub-habitat locations (edge, creeks, ponds) at each site. Taxonomic identification of individuals was determined to the lowest possible taxonomic level. Salinity and temperature data for each sample location are also included in this dataset. Data are in spreadsheet format. To compare the on-marsh nekton community across a salinity gradient and also between natural and restored marshes. Little is known about how river diversions influence the ecological trajectory, food web structure, and function of natural versus created marshes. To address this gap, this project established sites in the West Point a la Hache (WPH) area (Barataria Bay, in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana), near the WPH siphon which periodically shunts Mississippi River water into the local marshes. Sites were also established in nearby marshes that were restored as part of the Lake Hermitage (LH) Marsh Creation Project, representing an ideal model system to examine how seasonal and spatial shifts in salinity due to river diversions influence species composition and food web structure in both natural and different-aged created marshes. Objectives of the overall project included characterizing species compositions and abundances in multiple trophic levels (microbes to upper trophic level predators) and applying bulk (SIA) and compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) of amino acids (AA) in producer and consumer tissues to describe and compare the structure and complexity of food webs and reveal aspects of fish residency. Only marsh nekton and associated environmental data are included in this dataset.

Traps were allowed to soak for 1-2 hours at a time, after which all organisms collected were identified, counted, and measured (length and weight). In 2018 PS7 was sampled four times, while all other sites were sampled three times. In that year, the first PS7 sampling occurred in the afternoon, after which samples were collected during morning hours, consistent with sampling at all other sites. In 2019 new site waypoints were generated at LHB Edge 2, LHC Creek 1, LHC Creek 2, LHC Creek 3, LHC Edge 1, LHC Edge 2, LHC Edge 3, LHC Pond 1, LHC Pond 2, LHC Pond 3, WPH1 Creek 2, WPH1 Creek 3, WPH1 Edge 1, WPH1 Edge 2, WPH1 Edge 3, WPH1 Pond 1and WPH1 Pond 3.

Parameter or Variable: Mass measurements (measured); Units: grams; Observation Category: laboratory analysis; Sampling Instrument: unknown; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Mass was obtained on measured and unmeasured fish. The Notes column contains details on if a particular mass included individuals from the other category or information that may explain blank cells. Any weight recorded as <0.1 g on the data sheet was entered into this file as 0.0 g. A blank cell for weight indicates absence of a value, not zero. Reasons for blank cells include: 1) Total mass-Individuals were included in counts that could not be measured or could not be weighed, i.e. lost in field, etc. 2) Unmeasured mass-Likely that all individuals were measured, i.e. no unmeasured mass exists or unmeasured fish were lost in the field/could not be weighed. 3) Measured mass-Where multiple fish of the same species were measured independently and each weighed <0.1 but no combined weight was recorded. 4) Where a group of small/light individuals were weighed together, they do not have individual masses recorded, but the combined weight is, when possible, accounted for in "measured mass" and "total mass". In these instances the notes column of the “Abun” tab should say that the individual was included in a combined mass of x grams.; Data Quality Method: Due to issues with very light-weight samples, rather than weigh individuals (e.g., grass shrimp that are 2 cm), they were weighed as a group to get total mass. In those instances, individual weights can be calculated by dividing that total mass value by the number of individuals. Parameter or Variable: Length measurements (measured); Units: millimeter; Observation Category: laboratory analysis; Sampling Instrument: unknown; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Four length types were obtained for each specimen as appropriate: Total length (TL), Fork Length (FL), Standard Length (SL), Carapace width (CW).
