      Abstract: 
          Copepod Species data from salt marshes in Barataria Bay, Louisiana. Samples were collected from 2011-2014 at 
          various sites with different oiling intensities (including reference sites without obvious oiling, lightly 
          oiled, moderately oiled and heavily oiled) to determine the effects and recovery from the spill. Copepod 
          species abundances are presented and copepods were assigned a to a life history stage, gender and 
          reproductive status (by the presence or absence of an egg sac).
      Purpose: 
          To determine the effects of and recovery from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill on benthic communities. 
          Copepods are infaunal invertebrates that live in association with sediments. Here, samples were collected 
          from the marsh platform, intertidal in areas that would be expected to be dominated by Spartina 
          alterniflora. Data are presented in a publication: Fleeger J. W., K. R. Carman, M. R. Riggio, I. A. 
          Mendelssohn, Q. Lin, A. Hou, D. R. Deis, and S. Zengel. 2015. Recovery of saltmarsh benthic microalgae and 
          meiofauna following the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill linked to recovery of Spartina alterniflora. Marine 
          Ecology-Progress Series, 536:39-54.

      Supplemental Information: 
          Numbers presented are counts per sample of individuals in a species. These counts are broken down by sex and 
          developmental stage. Copepodites are pre-reproductive juveniles, and gravid females are egg bearing.|A 
          hand-held corer (inner diameter = 3.5 cm) was used to take two sediment cores to a depth of 2 cm at 
          haphazardly selected locations at each plot or station to sample the meiofauna. Both cores were combined 
          into a single sample cup. A stereo-dissecting microscope was used to identify and enumerate meiofauna to 
          higher taxonomic rank (e.g., nematodes, copepods, polychaetes). Adult and juvenile copepods were picked from 
          the sample, and adults were later identified to species. Species names are not always know and this is not a 
          formal taxonomic analysis. Names in the file are working names given to a particular species - it may be 
          undescirbed or unknown.||||
