This dataset represents collections taken by demersal longline fishing gears throughout the Gulf of Mexico from 2011 until 2017. They include station location information and standardized fish catch data (numbers, weights, sex, length). Catch data were classified into five sub-regions: West Florida Shelf (WFS), North Central (NC), North West (NW), South West (SW), Yucatan Peninsula (YP) and Cuba (CUB). Catch data were also classified into four species groups: Elasmobranch (EL), Other demersal (OD), Pelagic (LP) and Snapper/Grouper (SG). Data from 2011 until 2014 are also reported in C-IMAGE I dataset R1.x135.120:0002, Lesion data from fish collected off Terrebonne Bay, LA to the Dry Tortugas, FL, 2011-2014 (DOI: 10.7266/N7GT5K56).
