Diet and stable isotope (bulk-tissue and compound specific amino acid) data of larval and juvenile deep pelagic Paralepidid fishes collected during multiple cruises in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2010-09-10 to 2011-08-23 (NCEI Accession 0245830)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-03-21T00:00:00.000+00:00
A series of Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) cruises were conducted in 2010 and 2011 to evaluate the distribution and densities of ichthyoplankton and other zooplankton in Gulf of Mexico waters potentially affected by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DWHOS) and in surrounding areas. This dataset includes larval fish (family: Paralepididae) diet and stable isotope data from samples collected on NRDA plankton and NRDA Nekton surveys, 2010-2011. It includes data for ichthyoplankton specimens (taxonomic identification, length, weight, stable carbon and nitrogen values, compound specific amino acid values) and their corresponding diets (prey taxonomic identification, number of individuals, length, weight).
