Composition and quantification of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in deep-pelagic fauna, cruises DP01 and DP02 from May 2015 - August 2015

This data set includes the biological PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) data of target species collected during the DP01 (PS1503, 2015-05-01 - 2015-05-08) and DP02 cruises (PS1606, 2015-08-08 - 2015-08-21) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The target fish species include Ceratoscopelus warmingii, Chaulidus spp., Diaphus spp., Argyropelecus spp, Ceratoscopelus warmingii, and Sigma elongatum. Also, analysis of shrimp (Acanthephyra purpurea) and cephalopod (Grimalditeuthis bonplandi, Histioteuthis corona, Japetella diaphana) samples were conducted. PAHs were analyzed following modified EPA method 8270D and QA/QC strict protocols. Detection and quantification of PAHs were performed using a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometric detector (GC/MS/MS).本数据集涵盖了墨西哥湾北部DP01航次（PS1503，2015年5月1日—2015年5月8日）与DP02航次（PS1606，2015年8月8日—2015年8月21日）期间采集的目标物种的生物多环芳烃（Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons，PAH）数据。目标鱼类物种包括Ceratoscopelus warmingii、Chaulidus spp.、Diaphus spp.、Argyropelecus spp.、Ceratoscopelus warmingii以及Sigma elongatum。此外，本数据集还完成了对虾类（Acanthephyra purpurea）以及头足类（Grimalditeuthis bonplandi、Histioteuthis corona、Japetella diaphana）样本的分析工作。多环芳烃的分析遵循改良后的美国环境保护署（Environmental Protection Agency，EPA）方法8270D与严格的质量保证/质量控制（Quality Assurance/Quality Control，QA/QC）规程。多环芳烃的检测与定量工作采用气相色谱-串联质谱检测器（Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometric Detector，GC/MS/MS）完成。
