Description
The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) contains a variety oceanographic features including;
the Loop Current, cyclonic/anticyclonic eddies, common water, and the Mississippi River
Plume. The relationship these features have on the community assemblages of Families
Lutjanidae and Serranidae has been of great interest from both biological and economic
standpoints. These families represent some of the most economically important fisheries
in the GoM. Identifying the role these features play in the transportation of larval and
juvenile nearshore species to offshore environments is vital to resource managers. Using
data collected shortly after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill via the NOAA Natural
Resource Damage Assessment in 2011 as well as cruises conducted by the Deep Pelagic
Nekton Dynamics of the Gulf of Mexico (DEEPEND) Consortium from 2015-2017, the
faunal composition and abundance of these families were analyzed with respect to
seasonality, oceanographic features, depth distribution, and time.
