Oil Composition and nutrients for the GOMOO mesocosm using Gulf Of Mexico Open Ocean water

Mesocosm experiments were performed with Gulf of Mexico seawater collected from the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary Area (27° 53.4180'N; 94° 2.2020'W) which was amended with nutrients. Four treatments in triplicate were analyzed for oil composition: 1) Control, 2) Water accommodated oil fraction (WAF), 3) Chemically enhanced (Corexit 9500) water accommodated fraction (CEWAF), and 4) 10-fold diluted CEWAF (DCWAF). The oil composition data presented here are EOE (estimated oil equivalence using fluorescence), PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), and Total PAH. Additionally, nutrients for these treatments are also included.
