Longline trap data collected during R/V Apalachee cruise, Northern Gulf of Mexico, January 13, 2014 (AP-1401)

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 on January 13, 2014. For some species, biological 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 Apalachee cruise AP-1401.

本研究项目的核心目标为采用鱼笼与底栖延绳钓两种采样工具，对墨西哥湾底栖鱼类的物种群落组成及相对丰度差异进行描述与分析。本数据集收录了2014年1月13日采集的渔业样本及其配套关联数据。针对部分鱼类物种，本数据集同时记录了其体长、体重等生物学测量数据。其余配套采集的数据还包括采样作业日期、放站点位（纬度、经度）、作业水深、海水温度、使用的渔具类型与饵料种类。本次采集的数据来源于"阿巴拉契号"（R/V Apalachee）科考航次AP-1401。
