Abstract

The dataset is representative of 13 research cruises spanning from July 2010 to August 2012. Five cruises set to observe the West Florida shelf, while eight cruises were employed to assess the impact of the BP Oil spill on impacted North Florida shelf sites. West Florida Shelf samples sites (10 sampling sites total) comprised of Southern Transect (ST) line (stations ST03, ST06, ST12, ST18 and ST24), and the Northern Transect (NT) (stations NT31, NT25, NT19, NT13, and NT07). NE Gulf of Mexico sites included 16 sampling sites; DHS01, DSH07-10, Deepwater Horizon (DWH) station, FT1, PCB01-06, PCB11-12, and PCB14. Also included were NELine01 and PP01 stations. This dataset reports microtoxicity data from each site. Associated journal article: John H. Paul, David Hollander, Paula Coble, Kendra L.
