Brief description
This dataset contains species distribution, abundance and identity data of benthic invertebrates from Batemans Bay, NSW. Epifauna samples from the inter-tidal and subtidal rocky coasts around the bay were sampled twice, in November 1990 and August 1991. The data were taken as a control site for similiar sampling in Jervis Bay. The data are part of the Jervis Bay Marine Ecological Study. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.Lineage
Progress Code: completed
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: Source: original field data. Sampled on location at three or four levels. Data of species were recorded in appropriately - sized quadrats Processing: data were analysed in an asymmetrical design described by Underwood (1978, 1984, 1986, 1991a, 1992b) Taxonomic ID's: in conjunction with the New South Wales Fisheries Institute (considerable taxonomic uncertainty associated with many species of sessile invertebrates and some algae).
