Full description
This dataset contains data on fish distributions and occurrences from Jervis Bay, NSW. The data were obtained from sandy beaches around Jervis Bay between October 1988 and July 1991. Beach seine and beam trawl surveys were conducted every 3 months for 3 years. Taxa identified comprised 97 fish species (including 41 species sought by commercial or recreational fishermen and 12 species classified as baitfish) and 14 invertebrate species. Baitfish (predominantly small, schooling species) made up 94% of the total fish catch, and valued fish 6%. Environmental correlations (including water temperature, salinity, waves, clarity, light wind and time of day were examined for various types of fish and invertebrates, and two common fish species Myxus elongatus and Sillago ciliata in particular. The Jervis Bay sandy beach faunas were compared with those over Posidonia beds and in nearby creeks, and with other beaches in Port Hacking and Batemans Bay. NB - As the database has been lost, the only data still available are those published in the JERVIS BAY BASELINE STUDIES Final Report.Lineage
