This record describes the datasets obtained on Courageous Cruise 041. The data were obtained from the Tasman Sea and Bass Strait in November 1978. Data were obtained from acoustic and trawl surveys of Jack mackerel (Trachurus declivis), Jackass morwong (Nemadactylus macropterus) and knife jaw (Ostorhinchus conwaii) and other demersal and pelagic fish. Length, numbers, and weight were determined. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the cruise summary for this voyage.(derived from the cruise report) - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available (to CSIRO Staff) on-line. See the details link under "Stored Media List" (below).

This record describes the datasets obtained on Courageous Cruise 040. The data were obtained from the NSW coast between Sydney and Mallacoota in October 1978. Data were obtained from acoustic and trawl surveys of Jack mackerel (Trachurus declivis) and other demersal and pelagic fish. Length, sex, numbers, and weight were determined. Plankton samples from four transects were obtained.

This record describes the datasets obtained on Courageous Cruise 045. The data were obtained from the Great Australian Bight in January and February 1979. Data were obtained from acoustic and trawl surveys for pelagic and demersal fish . The species studied included Chinaman leatherjacket (Navon ayraud), Green-backed stingaree and Pilchard (Sardinops sagax). Length, numbers, weight and target signal strength were determined. Plankton samples were taken at intervals during the cruise.

This dataset comprises catch compositions and trawl locations from a cruise of the Russian fishery research vessel "Berg-1" carried out in Australian waters between March and May 1965, containing 145 demersal trawls from the Victoria and Tasmania coasts, Bass Strait, the Great Australian Bight and Western Australia coast. Most records include catch composition by species (presence/absence but not weight), also some data on length frequency, maturity and diet of commercially important species. The data were obtained by exchange with Soviet scientists in the mid 1990s and has had CSIRO species codes incorporated. The dataset is now in an Oracle database in Hobart, and analyses/summaries of the data are given in the accompanying report (see References). A MS Access version of the dataset has been compiled for use within the North West Shelf-JEMS study. This version is available on-line for researchers in the NWS-JEMS study (see data links). The data are also accessible to authorised users via CMR's "Data Trawler" application. A username and password is required to access this dataset.

This dataset comprises catch compositions and trawl locations from a cruise of the Russian fishery research vessel "Berg-2" carried out in Australian waters between January and June 1966, containing 529 demersal trawls from Bass Strait, South Australia coast, the Great Australian Bight and Western Australia coast. Most records include catch composition by species (presence/absence but not weight), also some data on length frequency, maturity and diet of commercially important species.

This dataset comprises catch compositions and trawl locations from a cruise of the Russian fishery research vessel "Berg-3" carried out in Australian waters between May and July 1967, containing 354 demersal trawls from the North West Shelf, Western Australia north coast, Timor Sea, Arufura Sea and Gulf of Carpentaria.
