Full description

The Vlaming Sub-basin Marine Survey GA-0334 was undertaken by the RV Solander in March and April 2012 as part of the Commonwealth Government's National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP). The purpose was to acquire geophysical and biophysical data to help identify sites suitable for the long term storage of CO2 within reasonable distances of major sources of CO2 emissions.

This dataset contains identifications of animals collected from 31 Van Veen grabs deployed during GA-334. Sediment was elutriated for ~ 5 minutes over a 500um sieve. Retained sediments and animals were then preserved in 70% ethanol for later laboratory sorting and identification. During sorting, all worms were separated and sent to Infaunal Pty Ltd for identification to species or operational taxonomic unit (OTU). Lynda Avery completed identifications on 17 April 2013, and specimens were lodged at the Museum of Victoria in May 2013. Blank cells in the species matrix indicate a value of '0'. Site refers to the station number, and grab refers to the cumulative number of grabs performed at that point in the survey.

Data is presented here exactly as delivered by the taxonomist, and Geoscience Australia is unable to verify the accuracy of the taxonomic identifications.

See GA Record 2013/09 for further details on survey methods and specimen acquisition.
