Longline trap data collected during R/V Apalachee cruise AP-1314 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico for 2014-01-13

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 on January 13, 2014. For some species, biological data such as length and weights are reported. Additional data includes date, time, set locations (latitudes, longitudes), gear deployed and bait used. These data were collected during the R/V Apalachee cruise AP-1314.

本项目的研究目标为采用鱼笼（fish traps）与底层延绳钓（demersal longlines）两种采样工具，对墨西哥湾内底层鱼类（demersal fishes）的物种群集（species assemblage）特征与相对丰度（relative abundance）差异进行描述与分析。本数据集收录了2014年1月13日采集的全部采样样本。针对部分物种，本数据集同步记录了其体长、体重等生物学参数。额外收录的数据包括采样日期、作业时间、采样站位（纬度、经度）、布设的采样装备以及所用饵料。本数据集所有数据均采集自R/V Apalachee（阿帕拉奇号）科考航次AP-1314。
