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.

Field surveys were undertaken at Marmion, Rottnest Island and Jurien Bay to measure the biomass of key taxa and benthic functional groups. Surveys of fish, invertebrate and western rock lobster were completed at 32 sites across the three regions. Within each of these three key regions, sites were identified as being either reef or seagrass habitat.
This record describes the datasets obtained on Courageous Cruise 020. The data were obtained from the Tasman Sea and Bass Strait in May 1977.
