Brief description
This dataset contains species distribution, abundance and identity data of benthic invertebrates from Jervis Bay, NSW. Epifauna samples from the inter-tidal and subtidal rocky coasts around the bay were sampled at 3 monthly intervals between November 1988 and August 1991. Taxa identified 51 species appearing consistently at most temporal and/or spatial scales on intertidal and subtidal reefs 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 New South Wales Fisheries Institute (considerable taxonomic uncertainty associated with many species of sessile invertebrates and some algae)
