Plankton abundance data collected from R/V Bellows cruise of DeSoto Canyon, December 2013 (BE-1407)

This dataset reports plankton species abundance from sites off the Florida Panhandle Bight at the head of DeSoto Canyon. Plankton samples were collected from 10 offshore shelf sites December 7-8, 2013. This dataset reports the location, date, time, and length of tow for each sample. 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. Abundances were recorded as individual counts as well as percentages of total sample.本数据集记录了德斯托峡谷入口处佛罗里达潘汉德尔湾外各采样点的浮游生物物种丰度。2013年12月7日至8日，研究人员在10个近海陆架采样点采集了浮游生物样本。本数据集包含每份样本的采样位置、日期、时间以及拖网作业时长。浮游生物物种被划分为以下类群：角藻属（Ceratium spp.）、裸甲藻属（Dinophysis spp.）、其他甲藻、角毛藻属/弯角藻属（Chaetoceros/Bacteriastrum spp.）、根管藻属/细柱藻属（Rhizosolenia/Guinardia spp.）、翼管藻属/半管藻属（Eucampia/Hemiaulus spp.）、其他链状硅藻、海毛藻目（Thalassionematales spp.）、菱形藻类硅藻（Nitzschioid diatoms）、其他硅藻、蓝藻门（Cyanobacteria，包含束毛藻属Trichodesmium spp.）以及浮游动物。样本丰度以个体计数及占总样本的百分比两种形式进行记录。
