Composition And Quantification Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons In Deep-Pelagic Fauna. Cruises Dp02, Dp03, And Dp04 From August 2015 - August 2016, Isabel C. Romero Oct 2017

Composition And Quantification Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons In Deep-Pelagic Fauna. Cruises Dp02, Dp03, And Dp04 From August 2015 - August 2016, Isabel C. Romero

DEEPEND Datasets

Samples were collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico on cruises DP02, DP03 and DP04 from August 2015 - August 2016. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) data were integrated with those from population dynamics and stable isotope analysis to provide evidence for effects of oil exposure to deep pelagic communities. The target fish species include Argyropelecus spp., Ceratoscopelus warmingii, Chauliodus sloani, Diaphus spp., Lampanyctus alatus, Lepidophanes guentheri, and Sigmops elongatus. Analysis of PAHs was conducted on different fish tissues (muscle, guts, gills, and eggs) following modified EPA method 8270D and QA/QC strict protocols. Detection and quantification of PAH homologues was performed …

Northern Gulf Of Mexico Benthic And Planktic Foraminifera Taxonomy, 2011-2015, Patrick Schwing

C-IMAGE data

This dataset consists of species-level benthic and planktic foraminiferal assemblages identified from sediment cores taken throughout the northern Gulf of Mexico with relation to the Deepwater Horizon and the Southern Gulf of Mexico in relation to the Ixtoc 1 platform.


Gulf Of Mexico Benthic And Planktic Foraminifera Carbon Isotopes, 2015, Patrick Schwing, Jeff Chanton Sep 2017

Gulf Of Mexico Benthic And Planktic Foraminifera Carbon Isotopes, 2015, Patrick Schwing, Jeff Chanton

C-IMAGE data

This dataset consists of benthic and planktic foraminiferal carbon isotope (C-13, C-14) measurements from sediment cores taken throughout the northern Gulf of Mexico with relation to the Deepwater Horizon. Stable isotope measurements were performed on Cibicidoides spp., Uvigerina spp. and Globigerinoides ruber (white).


Time Series Of Northern Gulf Of Mexico Hydrocarbon Data, 2010-2013, Isabel C. Romero Jun 2017

Time Series Of Northern Gulf Of Mexico Hydrocarbon Data, 2010-2013, Isabel C. Romero

C-IMAGE data

This dataset consist of hydrocarbon measurements in sediment cores collected during the cruises to northern Gulf of Mexico in the R/V Weatherbird II from 2010-2013.


Presence/Absence And Density Data For Epipelagic Tows From 48 Stations In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico From R/V Blazing Seven Cruises Lf2015a And Lf2015b June 2015 And July 2015, Jay R. Rooker, R.J. David Wells Mar 2017

Presence/Absence And Density Data For Epipelagic Tows From 48 Stations In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico From R/V Blazing Seven Cruises Lf2015a And Lf2015b June 2015 And July 2015, Jay R. Rooker, R.J. David Wells

DEEPEND Datasets

Larval catch data after the oil spill is being used to improve our understanding of the causes of temporal variability as it relates to the Deep Water Horizon oil spill (DWHOS). Bongo and neuston net tows were conducted at 48 stations in both June and July, 2015 in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Cruise data collected at each site included latitude/longitude, date, time and environmental data (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen). The occurrence and density of selected epipelagic (e.g., billfishes, tunas, dolphinfishes, flyingfishes) and deep pelagic (e.g., lanternfishes, bristlemouths, marine hatchetfishes) fish larvae were quantified and are being used to extend …


Composition And Quantification Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons In Deep-Pelagic Fauna, Cruises Dp01 And Dp02 From May 2015 - August 2015, Isabel C. Romero Feb 2017

Composition And Quantification Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons In Deep-Pelagic Fauna, Cruises Dp01 And Dp02 From May 2015 - August 2015, Isabel C. Romero

DEEPEND Datasets

This data set includes the biological PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) data of target species collected during the DP01 (May 1-8, 2015) and DP02 cruises (August 8-21, 2015) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The target fish species include Ceratoscopelus warmingii, Chaulidus spp., Diaphus spp., Argyropelecus spp, Lampanyctus alatus, and Sigma elongatum. Also, analysis of shrimp (Acanthephyra purpurea) and cephalopod (Grimalditeuthis bonplandi, Histioteuthis corona, Japetella diaphana) samples were conducted. PAHs were analyzed following modified EPA method 8270D and QA/QC strict protocols. Detection and quantification of PAHs were performed using a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometric detector (GC/MS/MS).


Cruise Data For Neuston Net And Paired Bongo Net Tows From 48 Stations In The Northern Gulf Of Mexico From R/V Blazing Seven Cruises Lf2015a And Lf2015b June 2015 And July 2015, Jay R. Rooker, R.J. David Wells Feb 2017

DEEPEND Datasets

Shelf and slope waters in the Deep Water Horizon oil spill (DWHOS) area are known to serve as critical spawning, nursery, and foraging habitat of several important oceanic species including billfishes (e.g. blue marlin, white marlin, sailfish), tunas (bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna), and other pelagic taxa (swordfish, dolphinfishes). The aim of this component was to further investigate potential ecological effects of the DWHOS on pelagic fishes during the early life period. Larval fishes were sampled from 48 stations in the northern Gulf of Mexico and cruise data was collected at each site including latitude/longitude, date, time and environmental data (sea …

Research Datasets

The database compiles published data (in Arias-Ortiz et al., 2018) on biogeochemical characteristics (density, organic carbon, stable carbon isotopes and sediment grain size) of soils underneath seagrass meadows in Shark Bay, Western Australia. Pb-210 concentrations of the first 20 cm are included along with C-14 raw ages. The dataset compiles data for a total of 49 cores, 25 - 300 cm-long (11 cores with Pb-210 and C-14 data).
