This record describes video and still camera data collected using sled-mounted and towed camera arrays as part of the 1993-1996 South East Fishery Ecosystem Study undertaken by CSIRO Division of Fisheries. Sled-mounted video and still cameras and/or Towed Camera Array (TACOS) tows were carried out at selected locations on transects across the continental shelf and in intensive survey areas in eastern Bass Strait, south-west Victoria, and south-west NSW waters. Data were collected in July 1993 (cruise SS 05/93), August 1994 (cruise SS 05/94) and November 1996 (cruise SS 06/96). The data from these camera surveys were used in conjunction with benthic sled samples, acoustic data and sediment samples to assess substrate types and provide information about benthic faunal assemblages of the region.

This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Southern Surveyor cruise SS 01/98. This cruise took place in the Great Australian Bight during February 1998, under the leadership of Jock Young. Biological data collected on this cruise include acoustic data on southern bluefin tuna (SBT) schools and their pelagic prey, collection of stomach samples from commercially-caught SBT, and photography of bottom features with an underwater camera. Surface net sampling was also undertaken for phyllosoma larvae of southern rock lobsters. 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.

This record describes the benthic assemblage survey data collected as part of the 1993-1996 South East Fishery Ecosystem Study undertaken by CSIRO Division of Fisheries. Benthic sled tows (c.4 per survey) were carried out at selected locations on transects across the continental shelf and in intensive survey areas in eastern Bass Strait, south-west Victoria, and south-west NSW waters. Data were collected in July 1993 (cruise SS 05/93), August 1994 (cruise SS 05/94), April 1996 (cruise SS 02/96) and November 1996 (cruise SS 06/96). Large collections of benthic invertebrates were identified and many photographed. As part of the analysis stage of the project, these assemblages wil be related to substrate characteristics on the one hand and fish faunal assemblages on the other.
