General location information:	Cross-shelf research transect W of the mouth, HAB Area code(s): US-17
Additional location information:	Transect begins at 29.2733°N 91.6167°W and ends at 28.6917°N 91.6167°W
Bloom event dates (yyyy/mm/dd):
Quarantine levels dates (yyyy/mm/dd):
Additional date-related information:	The data below represent cell concentrations of HAB species at or above 10^5 cells/liter (with the exception of Prorocentrum species which were reported at or above 10^3) encountered in routine sampling in 2004, and were not associated with a particular bloom event. Cell concentrations were averaged over the four stations in the transect to generate an average concentration for a single sample date.

Causative organism known:	Yes
