MOCNESS profile and ichthyoplankton and decapod specimen identification data collected during NRDA Plankton Survey Nick Skansi PC3 (NSPC3) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2010-09-25 to 2010-10-03 (NCEI Accession 0240416)

This data package contains MOCNESS (Multiple Opening/Closing Net Environmental Sensing System) profile data and other ichthyoplankton and decapod specimen identification data collected during Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Plankton Survey Nick Skansi PC3 (NSPC3) in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-09-25 to 2010-10-03. This survey was part of a series of NS 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 data package includes the original profile data representing environmental samples (e.g., temperature, salinity, pressure) for individual MOCNESS tows as well as combined and summary data (all tows) for the full cruise. Dataset also includes sampling event data (e.g., time, latitude, longitude, depth, volume filtered) and specimen data (e.g., taxonomic identification, length, number of individuals).

本数据包包含墨西哥湾地区自然资源损害评估（NRDA）浮游生物调查中采集的MOCNESS（多开口/闭合网环境感应系统）剖面数据及其他浮游鱼类和无脊椎动物标本鉴定数据。这些数据收集于2010年9月25日至2010年10月3日进行的Nick Skansi PC3（NSPC3）调查。此次调查是2010年和2011年一系列NRDA巡航的一部分，旨在评估受深水地平线漏油事故（DWHOS）潜在影响的墨西哥湾北部水域中浮游鱼类及其他浮游动物的分布和密度。数据包中包括代表环境样本（例如，温度、盐度、压力）的原始剖面数据，以及整个巡航的综合和汇总数据（所有航次）。此外，还包括采样事件数据（例如，时间、纬度、经度、深度、过滤体积）和标本数据（例如，分类鉴定、长度、个体数量）。
