Abstract:

This dataset contains conductivity, temperature, and depth data collected along a transect from Panama City to the Deepwater Horizon wreckage area following the DeSoto Canyon during the R/V Weatherbird II cruise WB-1310, February 5th to 9th, 2013. CTD data from eight sample sites are included. Additionally, water samples collected were analyzed in the lab for methane concentration.

Purpose:

To evaluate the biological diversity and trophic interactions among organisms ranging from primary producers to apex predators and from the deep-sea benthos to the coast. These data contribute to a food web model used to determine risks to ecosystem structure and function and regional economies following from extreme anthropogenic events (e.g., discharged and background hydrocarbon) and adaptive management strategies.
