Longline Sample Data collected during R/V Weatherbird II cruise, West Florida Shelf to DeSoto Canyon, April 2012, WB-1215

The objectives of this project included using fish traps and demersal longlines to describe and examine differences in species assemblage and relative abundance of demersal fishes in the Gulf of Mexico. This dataset reports the samples collected and associated data from March 31 to April 4 2012. For some species, physical data such as length and weights are reported. Additional data include the dates, set locations (latitudes, longitudes), depth, water temperature, gear deployed and bait used. These data were collected during the R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-1215. This dataset also includes data collected under FIO Y1.x035.000:0003 and FIO Y1.x038.000:0004.

本项目的研究目标为：通过鱼笼与底栖延绳钓（demersal longlines）采样手段，描述并分析墨西哥湾海域底栖鱼类（demersal fishes）的物种群落组成（species assemblage）及其相对丰度的差异。本数据集收录了2012年3月31日至4月4日期间采集的样本及相关配套数据。针对部分物种，还记录了其体长、体重等形态学参数。附加数据涵盖采样日期、作业站位（纬度、经度）、作业水深、海水温度、布设渔具类型及使用饵料种类。本数据集的数据采集工作依托“气象鸟二号”科考船（R/V Weatherbird II）的WB-1215航次完成。此外，本数据集还收录了FIO Y1.x035.000:0003与FIO Y1.x038.000:0004项目下采集的相关数据。
