Abstract
This dataset contains zooplankton dry weight biomass calculated from samples collected during RV Weatherbird II and RV Bellows cruises from June 2012 to August 2014. Zooplankton was collected using towed bongo nets from the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and the west Florida shelf. The contents of the dataset are an assessment of the seasonal and interannual changes in zooplankton biomass after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
