Trawl surveys of fish and invertebrates in Coastal Alabama, Mississippi, and the Chandeleur Islands, March - December, 2016

Fishes and macroinvertebrates were collected using a 12.8m semi-balloon otter trawl with 4 cm mesh in Spring and Fall of 2016 in the coastal waters of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as the Chandeleur Islands. Abundance and biomass of all fish and macroinvertebrates taken in the trawls were enumerated by species and weighed to the nearest 0.1g or kg, depending on size.
