Count Component Title Abstract
1 EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During R21601 SEAMAP Spring 2016 Plankton Survey (R21601, EK60). During the 2016 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.
