Abstract:

The dataset is representative of 20 research cruises spanning from July 2010 to August 2013 in the North and West Florida Shelf regions of the Gulf of Mexico. This dataset reports microtoxicity data from each site and is an extension and revision of C-IMAGE I dataset R1.x135.119:0005. The North Florida Self data also contains PAH measurements for three cruises (12/6/2010, 12/15/2011, 8/6/2013).
