Abstract

This dataset is a summary of the surface, vertical hand net tows that occurred on R/V Endeavor cruise EN658 in the Western Atlantic margin and Gulf of Mexico (from the University of Rhode Island to Gulfport, Mississippi) in October and November 2020. This was the second sampling cruise of a series of four for the project titled "Collaborative Research: dispersal depth and the transport of deep-sea, methane-seep larvae around a biogeographic barrier", also called "SALT" for short.

Cite Dataset

A vertical plankton tow was conducted by clipping the cod end of the net to a weighted line, lowering the net to 200 meters, and then returning the apparatus to the surface. The plankton tow was then sorted by hand using microscopes and pipettes to isolate any larval forms present.
