Plankton species abundance data was collected from 13 sites in the Gulf of Mexico's DeSoto Canyon during the R/V Bellows cruise BE-1311 from December 12-14, 2012. The dataset includes net tow samples categorized into broad taxonomic groups and detailed quantitative phytoplankton profiles from four sites, analyzed using a JEOL JSM-6480 LV scanning electron microscope. It was produced by NOAA NCEI and includes both count data and associated micrographs.
