Plankton species relative abundance data collected during R/V Bellows cruise BE-1322 in the DeSoto Canyon, Gulf of Mexico from 2013-06-02 to 2013-06-04

This dataset reports plankton species relative abundances from sites off the Florida Panhandle Bight at the head of DeSoto Canyon. Plankton samples were collected from 15 offshore shelf sites from June 02 to June 04, 2013. It includes sites, date/times, length of tow, plankton samples, counts, and the percentage of total sample represented by each group. Plankton species were categorized as Ceratium spp., Dinophysis spp., other dinoflagellates, Chaetoceros/Bacteriastrum spp., Rhizosolenia/Guinardia spp, Eucampia/Hemiaulus spp., other chain-forming diatoms, Thalassionematales spp., Nitzschioid diatoms, other diatoms, Cyanobacteria (Trichodesmium spp.), and zooplankton.本数据集记录了德索托峡谷（DeSoto Canyon）头部佛罗里达狭长地带海湾（Florida Panhandle Bight）近岸海域的浮游生物物种相对丰度。2013年6月2日至4日，研究人员从15个近海陆架站点采集浮游生物样本。数据集涵盖站点信息、采样日期与时间、拖网时长、浮游生物样本、个体计数结果，以及各分类类群在总样本中的占比。所有浮游生物物种被划分为以下类群：角藻属（Ceratium spp.）、尖甲藻属（Dinophysis spp.）、其他甲藻类、角毛藻属/细柱藻属（Chaetoceros/Bacteriastrum spp.）、根管藻属/管链藻属（Rhizosolenia/Guinardia spp.）、弯角藻属/半管藻属（Eucampia/Hemiaulus spp.）、其他链状群体硅藻、海链藻目（Thalassionematales）物种、菱形藻类硅藻、其他硅藻、蓝细菌（Cyanobacteria，束毛藻属（Trichodesmium spp.））以及浮游动物。
