Brief description
This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Southern Surveyor cruise SS 02/92. This cruise took place in oceanic and shelf waters off south eastern Tasmania during 26 May - 18 June 1992, under the leadership of Jock Young. Biological data collected on this cruise include midwater and demersal fish from the jarosite dumpsite, and from control sites to the north and east, for heavy metal analysis. Orange roughy from along the 1000 m contour inshore of the dumpsite for heavy metal analysis. Samples collected from trawls for species composition and day/night vertical distribution of the main zooplankton and midwater fishes associated with the dumpsite. Midwater fish and plankton samples from the tuna longline fishing grounds to determine the species composition and to study the biological production in these waters. Please note: This metadata record is a preliminary entry derived from information in the cruise plan and/or cruise report. Individual data types - which may span several cruises - will be indexed separately within this metadata system in due course.Lineage
