Full description
This dataset comprises hydrological, biological and plankton data collected on Derwent Hunter Voyage DH 4/56. The voyage took place in the Bass Strait in October-November 1956. Samples of barracouta were taken for analysis of gut contents, and supplemented by data from fish caught by commercial fishermen over the same period. These were then compared with distribution data on krill (Nyctyphanes australis) and other zooplankton, principaly the copepod Calanus helgolandicus. Water masses were identified by associated hydrological sampling, comprising depth profiles of temperature, chlorinity, salinity, dissolved oxygen and total phosphorus. The hydrology data are published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series, and the cruise track and the biological data are given in Division of Fisheries & Oceanography Report no. 5.Lineage
Progress Code: completed
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: Processed data originate from sampling on Divisional research vessel. Hydrological processing according to standard CSIRO protocols of the time. Published data are presented as numeric values plus comments and graphical representations of water masses and zooplankton geographical distributions.
