Full description
Gulf of Carpentaria prawn larval densities, recorded from stepped oblique bottom to surface plankton tows, using a 140-142 micron net. This dataset includes counts of all Penaeid prawn larvae, identified to genus-level where possible, and includes stage of larval development (Protozoea 1-3, Mysis 1-3, Postlavae). Correction factors for depth and swept area are included, to allow calculation of estimates of prawn larval densities in standardised units (numbers per square metre, and numbers per cubic metre). These data are the result of nine cruises that took place between 1975 and 1978 on chartered boats and the "Kalinda". Prawn larval biomass and densities were measured in several transects across the Gulf of Carpentaria, as well as total plankton biomass.Lineage
