Pseudo-nitzschia spp. cell counts, nutrients water temperature and salinity, and concentrations of the toxin domoic acid from weekly samples and offshore cruises with the Northeast U.S. Shelf (NES) Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)

Abstract

This dataset is related to approximately weekly sampling of Narragansett Bay, RI in tandem with the University of Rhode Island (URI) Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) Long-Term Plankton Time Series (LTPTS) and Fish Trawl Survey to examine species assemblages and toxicity of the diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia spp. This includes nutrient concentrations, cell counts, water temperature and salinity, and concentrations of the toxin domoic acid from these weekly samples and more, including offshore cruises with the Northeast U.S. Shelf (NES) Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER).
