Brief description
This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Southern Surveyor cruise SS 02/96. This cruise took place in waters off the east coast of Tasmania, south-eastern Victoria and southern New South Wales during 16 April - 12 May 1996, under the leadership of Alan Williams and Nic Bax. Biological data collected on this cruise include samples of fish and benthic invertebrates to determine the autumn distribution and abundance of these fauna. Fish and invertebrate samples associated with reef and adjacent habitats. Video and 35 mm camera photography, acoustic, biological and sediment samples to identify and determine the distribution of seafloor habitat types. Tissue samples from fish, plankton and seafoor invertebrates for stable isotopes analysis. Stomach samples from a diverse range of fish for dietary analysis. Water and sediment samples for analysis of phytoplankton pigments and breakdown products. Benthic samples and photographic images of the seafloor off Maria Island to study the abundance and pattern of distribution of brittle stars. Specimens for the "Handbook of Australian Seafood" projects including samples for fillet analysis, protein fingerprinting and genetic analysis. A collection of specimens for collaborative studies and for other institutions and for stock assessment. Fish samples for ecomorphological analysis. Seal observations were also recorded during the cruise. 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
