©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset is part of an investigation of the impact of the BP oil spill on the northern Gulf of Mexico ecosystem, focusing on the mesopelagic fauna. These observations and measurements were obtained during two R/V Weatherbird cruises in the specific regions one year apart. They will be compared to many other cruises preceding to assess mesopelagic communities at both reference and within-plume stations with respect to:
- abundance and distribution
- species composition
