Longline Sample Data collected during R/V Apalachee cruise, West Florida Shelf to DeSoto Canyon, April 25 - May 10, 2017

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 April 25 to May 10, 2017. 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 FLRACEP 2017 R/V Apalachee cruise.

本项目的研究目标为利用渔笼与底栖延绳钓两种采样装置，描述并探究墨西哥湾底栖鱼类的物种组成及相对丰度差异。本数据集收录了2017年4月25日至5月10日期间采集的样品及相关配套数据，针对部分物种还提供了体长、体重等生物学测定数据。额外收录的数据包括作业日期、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。所有数据均采集自FLRACEP 2017航次，该航次由R/V阿巴拉契号（R/V Apalachee）研究船执行。
