MOCNESS ichthyoplankton data collected during NRDA Plankton Survey Walton Smith 4 (WS4) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2011-04-20 to 2011-05-27 on board the R/V F.G. Walton Smith Cruise WS1107

This dataset contains MOCNESS (Multiple Opening/Closing Net Environmental Sensing System) ichthyoplankton data collected on board the R/V F.G. Walton Smith during Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Plankton Survey Walton Smith 4 (WS4) in the Gulf of Mexico from 2011-04-20 to 2011-05-27. This survey (WS4, chief scientist: Malinda Sutor) was part of a series of NRDA cruises conducted in 2010 and 2011 to evaluate the distribution and densities of ichthyoplankton and other zooplankton in northern Gulf of Mexico waters potentially affected by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DWHOS). The dataset includes the original data (for reference only - unedited, as received from NRDA) and clean data (for analysis – edited, QC and non-pertinent parameters removed). Datasets include sampling event data (e.g., time, latitude, longitude, depth, volume filtered) and specimen data (e.g., taxonomic identification, length, number of individuals).

本数据集包含2011年4月20日至2011年5月27日期间，在墨西哥湾开展的自然资源损害评估（Natural Resource Damage Assessment，NRDA）沃尔顿·史密斯号浮游生物调查第4航次（Plankton Survey Walton Smith 4，WS4）中，于F.G.沃尔顿·史密斯号研究船（R/V F.G. Walton Smith）上采集的多开闭式网环境监测系统（Multiple Opening/Closing Net Environmental Sensing System，MOCNESS）鱼卵仔鱼（ichthyoplankton）数据。本次调查（WS4，首席科学家：Malinda Sutor）为2010至2011年开展的一系列NRDA航次的组成部分，旨在评估墨西哥湾北部水域中可能受深水地平线漏油事件（Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill，DWHOS）影响的鱼卵仔鱼及其他浮游动物的分布与种群密度。本数据集包含原始数据（仅供参考——未经编辑，直接取自NRDA）与用于分析的整理后数据（已完成编辑、质量控制（Quality Control，QC）并移除无关参数）。数据集涵盖采样事件相关数据（如采样时间、纬度、经度、水深、过滤水体体积）以及标本数据（如分类鉴定结果、体长、个体总数）。
