Tasmanian Slope Trophodynamics Study 1991-1993: Sediment Trap Data (chemistry, pigments, and phytoplankton)
This record describes sediment trap sample data collected as part of the 1991-1993 Tasmanian Slope Trophodynamics Study undertaken by CSIRO Division of Fisheries. 2 moored sediment trap arrays with <21 individual traps were deployed on a single date in November 1992 at two depths (305 and 952 m), allowed to remain open for various times, and retrieved in April 1993. Free-floating traps were also deployed for approx. 24 hr and 48 hr in November 1992 and April 1993, respectively. On recovery, samples were analysed for weight dry weight, chemical analysis for carbonate, reactive phosphorus, total carbon, total nitrogen, biogenic opal, and phytoplankton pigments, and sub-samples were also taken for SEM (scanning electron microscope) identification of phytoplankton species.

- Statement
-
Data source: original field data Sample processing: Carbonate and organic matter samples were analysed for totla C and total N using a Perkin Elmer 240C Elemental Analyser. Reactive P and biogenic opal were analysed using the method of Honjo & Manganni (1992). SEM was carried out using standard methods of CSIRO Division of Fisheries. Consult report for more details.
