Fish species were caught in Campeche Bay and Yucatan Shelf in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico using demersal longline sampling gear. The total concentration of PAHs in muscle tissue was analyzed with an Agilent gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) 6890N/5973MS after PAH was extracted from tissue with a 1:1. hexane:methylene chloride solvent. Livers of red snappers were examined for hepatic parenchymal changes. The dataset includes the cruise information, date and location of sample collection sites, the common and the scientific name of the fish species examined, total PAH concentration, and the classification and the exact description of the anomaly. These data were collected as part of PEMEX (Petróleos Mexicanos) surveys to monitor the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) in fish and as part of the C-IMAGE Gulf-wide surveys to characterize the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on benthic species.

The sample was concentrated and purified in a chromatographic column packed with sulfite, silica, alumina and granulated copper. Purified extracts were then analyzed with a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass selective detector, Agilent Technologies GC-MS 6890N/5973MS, equipped with an autosampler and quadrupole electronic impact. Parameter or Variable: FISH SPECIES (measured); Units: n/a; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: DEMERSAL TRAWL; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Fishes were collected using demersal longline sampling gear. Parameter or Variable: Liver Anomalies (measured); Units: n/a; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Demersal longline; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Red snapper samples were caught in Campeche Bay and Yucatan Shelf using demersal longline sampling gear. At each station, a 544 kg test monofilament mainline was deployed, with a mean of 433 baited hooks per set. Livers of red snappers were examined for hepatic parenchymal changes. The liver is classified as H = healthy and D = damaged, and the description of the anomaly is provided within the data file. asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI. Updates are performed as needed to maintain currentness. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian trawl trawl A fishing net that is dragged behind a boat. A wide range of demersal (bottom) or pelagic (mid-water) species of fish are taken by this fishing method which entails one or a pair of vessels towing a large bag-shaped net either along the seafloor or in mid-water.
