Abstract:
This dataset contains MOCNESS (Multiple Opening/Closing Net Environmental Sensing System) ichthyoplankton data
collected on board the R/V F.G. Walton Smith during Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Plankton
Survey Walton Smith 4 (WS4) in the Gulf of Mexico from 2011-04-20 to 2011-05-27. This survey (WS4, chief
scientist: Malinda Sutor) was part of a series of NRDA cruises conducted in 2010 and 2011 to evaluate the
distribution and densities of ichthyoplankton and other zooplankton in northern Gulf of Mexico waters
potentially affected by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DWHOS). The dataset includes the original data (for
reference only - unedited, as received from NRDA) and clean data (for analysis – edited, QC and
non-pertinent parameters removed). Datasets include sampling event data (e.g., time, latitude, longitude,
depth, volume filtered) and specimen data (e.g., taxonomic identification, length, number of individuals).
Purpose:
This data was collected as part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) response to the 2010 MC252
Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Taxonomic data were acquired from the Deepwater Horizon Plankton Assessment
Archive (DWHPAA).

Please note the above data parameters and units are for the clean data (edited – QC and non-pertinent
parameters removed). The dataset also contains the original data (unedited – as received from NRDA), where
additional parameters are available. All definitions and headers are included in the read me file. Blank
cells indicate that data was not available.|Data were acquired from the Deepwater Horizon Plankton
Assessment Archive (DWHPAA) and National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). The dataset authors
are curating the deep-pelagic plankton data for analysis and were not part of the sample collection effort.
To obtain further original data not included in this dataset (i.e., additional gear types and sort
categories) please email nmfs.sec.mslabs.dwhpaa@noaa.gov. Original data were received as multiple Microsoft
Access database files (e.g., field data, taxonomic data). Files were joined, filtered by cruise, gear
(MOCNESS), and sort category (i.e., fishes - ichthyoplankton and nekton). Original NRDA data as received
from DWHPAA (post-format/filter) are included in this dataset for reference only. Clean NRDA data have
undergone QC by the dataset authors. Data have been reviewed and edited for accuracy (e.g., corrections to
depth, volume, latitude, and longitude based on MOCNESS instrument files and cruise plans). Samples without
corresponding volume data were considered non-quantitative and were removed from the dataset. Columns and
stations not pertinent to MOCNESS taxonomic data analysis were removed from the dataset.|1 m^2 Multiple
Opening/Closing Net Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) outfitted with 9 .333mm nets.|||Data provided in
this dataset are generated from the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Plankton
Processing Plan. Stations sampled are on the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) Gulf

Please note the above data parameters and units are for the clean data (edited – QC and non-pertinent parameters removed). The dataset also contains the original data (unedited – as received from NRDA), where additional parameters are available. All definitions and headers are included in the read me file. Blank cells indicate that data was not available.|Data were acquired from the Deepwater Horizon Plankton Assessment Archive (DWHPAA) and National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). The dataset authors are curating the deep-pelagic plankton data for analysis and were not part of the sample collection effort. To obtain further original data not included in this dataset (i.e., additional gear types and sort categories) please email nmfs.sec.mslabs.dwhpaa@noaa.gov. Original data were received as multiple Microsoft Access database files (e.g., field data, taxonomic data). Files were joined, filtered by cruise, gear (MOCNESS), and sort category (i.e., fishes - ichthyoplankton and nekton). Original NRDA data as received from DWHPAA (post-format/filter) are included in this dataset for reference only. Clean NRDA data have undergone QC by the dataset authors. Data have been reviewed and edited for accuracy (e.g., corrections to depth, volume, latitude, and longitude based on MOCNESS instrument files and cruise plans). Samples without corresponding volume data were considered non-quantitative and were removed from the dataset. Columns and stations not pertinent to MOCNESS taxonomic data analysis were removed from the dataset.|1 m^2 Multiple Opening/Closing Net Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) outfitted with 9 .333mm nets.|||Data provided in this dataset are generated from the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Plankton Processing Plan.
