Atlantic Bumper (Chloroscombrus chrysurus) diet, growth and condition data collected on the R/V Point Sur cruise PS17_02 (PTS03) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2016-07-24 to 2016-07-30

This dataset contains Atlantic Bumper (Chloroscombrus chrysurus) diet, growth and condition data collected on the R/V Point Sur cruise PS17_02 (PTS03) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2016-07-24 to 2016-07-30. Atlantic Bumper larvae were collected using a Bedford Institute of Oceanography Net Environmental Sampling System (BIONESS) at several stations that were either fully normoxic or experiencing bottom hypoxia. The BIONESS (0.25 m2 opening), a depth-discrete sampler was fitted with 333-µm mesh nets and 202-µm mesh nets. The dataset includes larvae diet, growth and condition data that were analyzed using morphometric measurements as well as station data. Other related station data (e.g., sampling time, station locations, oceanographic observations, etc.), net data (e.g., depth bins), and CTD profiles (temperature, salinity, depth) for BIONESS tows collected during the same cruise are available under GRIDDC Unique Dataset Identifier (UDI): R4.x260.000:0003 (DOI: 10.7266/N74T6GQD).
