Citation

MGnify (2019). Marine Water Column Samples Targeted loci environmental. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/imcjlx accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-07-14.

Description

Surface water samples collected from locations within Mobile Bay out into the northern Gulf of Mexico shelf region off the coast of Alabama for examination of microbial eukaryotes. 20-24 L water samples were collected bi-monthly from July 2009- Dec 2011, prefiltered through a 150um mesh and eukaryotic fraction was collected on a 0.7um glass fiber filter. This data was used to explore spatial and temporal variation as well as impact of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill on this community.

Sampling

Surface water samples collected from locations within Mobile Bay out into the northern Gulf of Mexico shelf region off the coast of Alabama for examination of microbial eukaryotes. 20-24 L water samples were collected bi-monthly from July 2009- Dec 2011, prefiltered through a 150um mesh and eukaryotic fraction was collected on a 0.7um glass fiber filter. This data was used to explore spatial and temporal variation as well as impact of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill on this community.
