Abundances and body size of infauna collected from around the mouth of Mobile Bay, AL, in June 2021

Abstract

Body size measurements for infauna collected from around the mouth and offshore of Mobile Bay, AL, in June 2021. Abundance data and site information for sample IDs are provided in a separate table.

Infauna samples were collected around the mouth of Mobile Bay, AL, in June 2021. Samples were sieved on 500 um sieve, preserved in 95% ethanol stained with rose bengal, sorted and identified to family level (or higher taxon). During the first week of sampling, a van Veen grab was used to sample around a larger geographical area around the mouth of the bay and shelf region. During the second week of sampling, diver cores were collected from sites just north of Ft Morgan peninsula along a sand to mud gradient.
