Count Component Title Abstract
1 SEAMAP Spring 2015 Plankton Survey (GU1501, EK60) During the 2015 Spring Plankton Survey, plankton samples were collected from a systematic grid of stations to assess distribution, occurrence and abundance of the early life stages of a variety of species of fishes and invertebrates in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The survey specifically targets larval bluefin tuna.
