This dataset contains fish data collected using fish traps and demersal longlines and includes biological data, for some species, such as length and weights. Additional data includes date, set locations (latitudes, longitudes), depth, water temperature, gear deployed and bait used. These data were collected during the R/V Apalachee cruise AP-1405 from May 1 to May 8, 2014. The objectives of this project included to describe and examine differences in species assemblage and relative abundance of demersal fishes in the Gulf of Mexico.
