Sediment microphytobenthos from an experimental mesocosm system prior to oiling: Cell concentration microscopy data from 2018-07-17 to 2019-06-18

Sediment samples for microscopic analysis were collected on 2018-07-17 and 2019-06-18 from a twelve tank experimental mesocosm system located at Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) in Cocodrie, Louisiana to document conditions prior to oil exposure treatments. Cell concentrations are presented, along with weights of sediments extracted for the counts.
