CTD casts using a high-capacity, diaphragm pump were conducted during the R/V Pelican cruises PE03-NGOMEX, PE04-NGOMEX, PE06-NGOMEX, PE07-NGOMEX, and PE09-05 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico between 2003 and 2008. Plankton samples were collected from discrete depths during the CTD casts. Subsamples of sample contents were manually counted, identified, and measured in the laboratory.
Subsets of these data were published in the papers listed in the "Related Resources" section.
