Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Biological, physical, and chemical data from trawl surveys in coastal waters of Alabama and Mississippi from 28 Apr 2010 to 13 Oct 2011 (NCEI Accession 0117516)

Preview graphic

Fishes and macroinvertebrates were collected using a 12.8m semi-balloon trawl with 5cm mesh in spring and fall of 2010 and 2011 in the coastal waters of Alabama and Mississippi. All species were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level and counted. A wet weight estimate of total biomass (+ grams) was attained for each species using portable spring scales. Finfish collected in 2010 were measured for length (standard, fork, and/or total as appropriate).
