        abstract:  This dataset reports presence or absence data and other environmental cruise data collected in the Gulf of Mexico during R/V Blazing Seven cruises LF2016A and LF2016B from 2016-06-09 to 2016-07-28. Larval fishes in pelagic waters sampled from 48 stations were collected with three different gear types: 1) neuston net (2 m width x 1 m height frame) rigged with 1200 micron mesh; 2) paired 61-cm bongo nets with 333 and 500-micron mesh; 3) paired ring net with 1000 micron mesh. Other cruise data were collected at each site including latitude/longitude, date, time, environmental data (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen) and Sargassum dry weight. Sea surface temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were measured at the surface of each station using a Sonde 6920 Environmental Monitoring System (YSI Inc., Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States).
        purpose:  Characterize larval fish assemblages in pelagic waters of the Gulf of Mexico and compare and estimate the life history and ecosystem parameters that favor the production and survival of pelagic fish larvae and juveniles from multiple cohorts (2015-2017) before and after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DWHOS).
