Marine Water Column Samples Targeted loci environmental

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.
