Purpose:

To generate species abundance counts in the southern Gulf of Mexico.

Data Parameters and Units:

This dataset is organized into two subdirectories (…\C-IMAGE_Escobar\Samples_EMorales\station\filename and …\C-IMAGE_Escobar\Samples_LJemenez\station\filename). The file name includes the station, replicate (1-3) and sample section [L1 (0-1 cm), L2 (1-3 cm), L3 (3-5 cm), L4 (5-10 cm)]. Each spreadsheet has three tabs. The “Followup” and “Metadata Macro” tabs contain information about the sample collection and processing dates (MM/DD/YYYY), sample location (DDM), lists the individual(s) responsible for handling and processing the sample, and additional descriptive information about the field work and lab work associated with this file. The “Lab. Macro” tab contains abundance information about collected from the processed sample. The following are the parameters for this section of the file: Sample (Station ID); Replicate (R1 - R3); Section (L1 - L4); Lab notes (text); Depth (m); Taxon (text); Abundance (count); Site ID Latitude (decimal degrees) Longitude (decimal degrees) IXN-500 20.008833 -92.388667 IXN-1000 20.356393 -92.49627 IXNW-350 19.643857 -92.744745 IXNW-600 20.10676 -93.574117 IXNW-1600 20.808 -94.8175 IXTOC-1 19.3685 -92.3175 IXW-500 19.447833 -93.896833 IXW-750 19.457917 -94.589653 SL26-500 22.383952 -97.225743 SL27-500 20.083833 -96.235833 ABKATUN 19.314277 -92.208007 IXN-100 19.818705 -92.348898 IXN-250 19.915 -92.342167 IXW-100 19.418878 -92.690658 IXW-250 19.431377 -93.064473 SL26A-250 21.210347 -96.85561 SL30A-250 19.091958 -93.402943 SL31-100 19.525333 -92.585833 SL33-250 22.33165 -91.703083
