Longline Sample Data collected during R/V Weatherbird II cruise, West Florida Shelf to DeSoto Canyon, April 2012, WB-1215

The objectives of this project included using fish traps and demersal longlines to describe and examine differences in species assemblage and relative abundance of demersal fishes in the Gulf of Mexico. This dataset reports the samples collected and associated data from March 31 to April 4 2012. For some species, physical data such as length and weights are reported. Additional data include the dates, set locations (latitudes, longitudes), depth, water temperature, gear deployed and bait used. These data were collected during the R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-1215. This dataset was submitted as Deep-C R1.x138.079:0042.

本项目的研究目标为利用捕鱼笼与底延绳钓（demersal longlines），描述并分析墨西哥湾内底栖鱼类（demersal fishes）的物种群落组成与相对丰度差异。本数据集收录了2012年3月31日至4月4日期间采集的样品及配套数据。针对部分物种，还记录了其体长、体重等形态学测量数据。其余配套数据还包括作业日期、放钓站位（纬度、经度）、作业水深、海水温度、布设渔具及使用饵料等信息。本数据集的数据采集工作依托“气象鸟二号”号（R/V Weatherbird II）科考航次WB-1215完成。本数据集以Deep-C R1.x138.079:0042的编号提交归档。
