This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Soela cruise SO 1/85. This cruise took place in Tasmanian waters and the eastern Bass Strait, under the leadership of T. Kenchington and Jock Young. Biological data collected on this cruise include demersal fish samples from trawling. Blue grenadier was the dominant species by weight. Morphometric and electrophoretic samples of blue grenadier. Juvenile blue grenadier samples. Pelagic samples from trawling included large catches of the lantern fish Lampanyctodes hectoris. Samples from longlining included small numbers of Brama brama, Rexea solandri, blue shark (Prionace glauca) and two Mako sharks (isurus oxyrhynchus). Ichthyoplankton and phytoplankton samples. Bottom fish samples. Seabird counts throughout the cruise, with several unusual species being observed. A large volume of cephalopod and other invertebrate samples (for National Museum of Victoria). Morphometric and electrophoretic samples of Helicolenus (for the University of Tasmania). Photographs of demersal and midwater fish species for taxonomic studies. Algal and zooplankton samples for biomass and species composition.(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.
