Full description

Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in Jervis Bay (NSW) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 (GA303, GA305, GA309, GA312) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through co-located sampling of surface sediments (for textural and biogeochemical analysis) and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wave-generated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) Research Vessel Kimbla. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and tide/wave measurement were concentrated in a 3x5 km survey grid (named Darling Road Grid, DRG) within the southern part of the Jervis Bay, incorporating the bay entrance. Additional sampling and stills photography plus bathymetric mapping along transits was undertaken at representative habitat types outside the DRG. This folder contains the images derived from benthic samples taken on the surveys GA0312, GA0315 and GA0309 aboard HMS Kimbla.

Statement: Images of fresh material were captured using a rostrum mounted Canon EOS 40D camera on HMS Kimbla. Unique barcodes were incorporated into images to identify which sample an image corresponded to (see sample database for the surveys GA0312, GA0315 and GA0309 or the associated sampling log book). Images of preserved material were made using a Nikon Coolpix camera mounted on a macroscope. The images were downloaded to the lab laptop and renamed according to the O T U assigned to the taxon it represented. Some notes were made on the images using Microsoft Paint where prominent, taxonomically relevant features were available for highlighting. Image names were updated as identifications were refined.

Notes

Credit
Some amphipod identifications were made by Lauren Hughes and Jim Lowry of the Australian Museum. Genus level carid identifications were made by Jo Taylor of Museum Victoria.
