Notes: The research vessel (R/V) R.J. Russell was also used for data collection. While on the R/V R.J. Russell, geophysical surveys were conducted at various times between December 1982 and July 1984 with the data being acquired from water bodies surrounding Isles Dernieres (Lacoss 82-2, 83-3 and 83-4), within Terrebonne and Caillou Bay (82-2), and offshore of Port Fourchon, Louisiana (84-5). While on the R/V Carancahua, geophysical surveys were collected between August and September 1982 off the coast of Holly Beach, Louisiana (82-3).
