This dataset contains oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and immune response biomarkers measured in golden tilefish collected aboard the R/V Weatherbird II cruises WB-1602, WB-1603, WB-1701 and WB-1736 in the Gulf of Mexico from 2015-08-17 to 2017-07-29. The dataset contains the location, date and depth of sample collection. In addition it includes the fish species, fish biometric data (such as weight, sex, liver weight, gonad weight, fork and total length) and concentrations or percentages of biomarkers that indicate oxidative stress (plasma superoxide dismutase, plasma sorbitol dehydrogenase, plasma malondialdehyde), immune response (hematocrit and leukocrit percentages, differential white blood cell counts in whole blood, and plasma lysozyme), and genotoxicity (whole blood micronuclei and nuclear abnormalities). The cruise documentation was provided for the R/V Weatherbird II cruises WB-1602, WB-1603, WB-1701 and WB-1736, led by chief scientists Dr. Steven Murawski and Dr. David Hollander. This dataset supports the publication: Pulster, E. L., Gracia, A., Snyder, S. M., Deak, K., Fogelson, S., & Murawski, S. A. (2019).
