Sea surface temperature, salinity, and other presence or absence data for epipelagic tows collected during R/V Pelican cruise PE18-01 (LF2017A) in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2017-07-01 to 2017-07-04 (NCEI Accession 0239305)

This dataset reports presence or absence data and other environmental cruise data collected in the Gulf of Mexico during R/V Pelican cruise PE18-01 (LF2017A) from 2017-07-01 to 2017-07-04. Larvae were collected with paired 61-cm bongo nets with 333 and 500-micron mesh. General Oceanics Flowmeters (Model 2030R, Miami, FL), were placed within net frames to determine the surface area sampled by each net. Fish larvae and early juveniles collected with net gear were preserved onboard in 95% ethanol. The dataset includes sampling and identification of larval fishes from epipelagic tows and environmental data (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen) from 47 stations. Sea surface temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were measured at the surface of each station using a Sonde 6920 Environmental Monitoring System (YSI Inc., Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States).
