Liver anomalies in red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) collected aboard R/V Weatherbird II cruises WB-1701 and WB-1603 in the southern Gulf of Mexico from 2015-09-17 to 2016-08-19

This dataset contains liver anomalies in red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) that were collected aboard R/V Weatherbird II cruises WB-1701 and WB-1603 in the southern Gulf of Mexico from 2015-09-17 to 2016-08-19. Red snapper samples were caught in Campeche Bay and Yucatan Shelf using demersal longline sampling gear. At each station, 544 kg test monofilament main line was deployed, with a mean of 433 baited hooks per set. Livers of red snappers were examined for hepatic parenchymal changes. The dataset includes the date, location of sample collection sites, the common and scientific name of the fish examined, the classification and the exact description of the anomaly. This research was conducted as part of the C-IMAGE Gulf-wide surveys in order to characterize the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on benthic species. The cruise documentation was provided for R/V Weatherbird II cruises WB1701 and WB1603, led by chief scientist Dr. Steven A. Murawski.

该数据集包含红鲷鱼（Lutjanus campechanus）的肝脏异常样本，这些样本由R/V Weatherbird II号科考船于2015年9月17日至2016年8月19日期间，在墨西哥湾南部执行WB-1701和WB-1603航次时采集。红鲷样本通过底层延绳钓采样设备在坎佩切湾与尤卡坦大陆架捕获。每个站点部署544公斤测试级单丝主线，每套装置平均配备433个带饵鱼钩。研究人员对红鲷肝脏的肝实质变化进行了检查。数据集涵盖样本采集日期、地点、受检鱼类的通用名与学名、异常的分类及其详细描述。本研究是C-IMAGE海湾全域调查的组成部分，旨在阐明深水地平线漏油事件对底栖物种的影响。R/V Weatherbird II号科考船WB1701与WB1603航次的文档资料由首席科学家Steven A.
