Abstract:

We tested for presence of wastewater compounds in megalopae collected at multiple sites in the northern Gulf of Mexico. This dataset is a chemical analysis on megalopal sampling reported in GRIIDC dataset [R2.x214.000.0003]. This dataset includes concentrations of compounds detected in field collected blue crab megalopae.

Purpose:

The purpose of generating this dataset was to investigate what organic pollutants are present in blue crab megalopae.

Data Parameters and Units:

Period, Time interval (M/DD-M/DD), Year, Site, 4-nonylphenol (NP, ppb), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, ppb), Salinity, and 2,4-di-tertbutylphenol concentrations (DTBP, ppb) Site Longitude (decimal degrees) Latitude (decimal degrees) Pensacola -87.159075 30.337825 Dauphin -88.077806 30.251275 Grand -89.962331 29.262911 Galveston -94.817131 29.312742 Apalachicola -84.980706 29.726056

Methods:

Megalopae were collected according to GRIIDC dataset [R2.x214.000.0003], and the chemical analysis was done using GC/MS.

Instruments:

GC/MS
