Longline trap data collected during R/V Apalachee cruise AP-1312 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico from 2013-10-08 to 2013-10-15 (NCEI Accession 0171494)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: October 13, 2025 | Last Modified: 2018-04-05T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset reports species caught using longline and trap sets during R/V Apalachee cruise in the Northern Gulf of Mexico from October 8-15, 2013. Species data includes species name, sex, weight, length, and maturity state, if available. It also report if samples were collected from individuals for other analyses, though the results of those analyses are not reported. Information about the sets include bait used, gear, effort, and sea state. Additional files in the dataset report pressure and temperature data collected during longline trapping activities. The overall objectives of this research include using large chevron traps and demersal longlines to describe and examine differences in the species assemblages and relative abundances of demersal fishes associated with the eastern and western walls of DeSoto Canyon and the adjacent continental slope (75-2000 m deep) and collecting specimens and samples (including curation of new species) to aid in resolving phylogenetic uncertainties and understanding life history traits in collected taxa.
