Tabasco fish larvae

The current dataset contains a record of 40,968 fish larvae belonging to 13 orders, 26 families, and 38 species and related with factors as: depth, habitat type, circadian cycle and season. The objective of this research is to investigate the vertical variability of ichthyoplankton in shallow tropical estuarine zones. The model study site was the estuarine area of the San Pedro y San Pablo River located east of the Centla Wetland Biosphere Reserve in the Gulf of Mexico. The experimental design includes a) depth (bottom-surface), b) habitat type (coast–low complexity and mangrove–high complexity), c) circadian cycle (sunrise-midday-sunset-night), and d) season (dry-rainy).本数据集收录了40968尾鱼仔稚鱼的观测记录，这些样本隶属于13目、26科、38种，相关观测因子包括水深、生境类型、昼夜周期与季节。本研究旨在探究热带浅海河口区域鱼类浮游生物的垂直分布变异性。本研究的实验样地为墨西哥湾森特拉湿地生物圈保护区东侧的圣佩德罗-圣巴勃罗河河口区域。实验设计涵盖四组变量：a) 水深（底层-表层）；b) 生境类型（海岸低复杂度生境与红树林高复杂度生境）；c) 昼夜周期（日出-正午-日落-夜间）；d) 季节（旱季-雨季）。
