Between March 1986 and April 1992, monthly cruises were carried out at twenty-one stations in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria. Prawn larval densities were measured and salinity-temperature profiles taken. Prawn larval density from stepped oblique bottom to surface plankton tows. Net sizes were 142 or 140m mesh, 250micron mesh with a 0.5x0.5 square frame, stepped-oblique tow. In this dataset Penaid prawn counts were recorded to species level for the genus Penaeus only, for larval stages Mysis 1-3. (Identification was not possible for other larval stages).

This record contains catch and effort data from scientific bottom trawl surveys carried out along the coast of South East Australia between 1898 and 1996. The data is on demersal chondrichthyes and osteichthyes. Data used was from multiple research vessels form various agencies and historical archives, The vessels included Soela, Courageous, Kapala, Zeehan, Challenger, Mary Belle, Bluefin, Petuna Endeavour, Margaret Philippa, Dannevig and Endeavour. Please refer to documentation link for further information.

This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Soela cruise SO 4/86. This cruise took place in waters to the and east and north of Tasmania in two legs. Leg 1 from 8 - 17 July, and Leg 2 from 18 - 28 July 1986, under the leadership of F. R. Harden Jones. Aims:,br> Part 1 1. To carry out exploratory and experimental fishing in eastern and western waters of Tasmania, with particular reference to canyons, gullies, slopes, banks, sea mounts and depths of 1300 - 1500 m, making use of demersal and pelagic trawls, droplines and traps as in cruise 3/86. Particular attention will be given to handling of the catch. Part 2 1. To sample icthyop1ankton on the east coast of Tasmania and south east coast of New South Wales. 2. If blue grenadier larvae are found in the ichthyoplankton, to sample the adults of the species and to attempt artificial fertilisations. 3. To continue with the exploratory and experimental fishing studies on an opportunistic basis. 4. a. To collect water samples from approximately five stations. The samples collected will be from depths between the surface and 1000 meters and will be analysed for nutrients both total and dissolved forms. b. To collect water from a yet to be determined depth (less than 1000 meters) for storage experiments to be carried out over the following two years. c. To determine a horizontal nutrient profile in surface water from Storm Bay to Princess Wharf. The results to be correlated with underway temperature, salinity and fluorescence results.(derived from the cruise plan).(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).

Work on this catalogue began in February 2009, and is on-going. The catalogue provides a brief description of a collection of Biological Field Data Sheets held in the O&A Bio-Data compactus No. 1 in the Hobart Marine Laboratories Block 1 Store. The compactus has six bays, and holds research vessel log sheets collected in: 1950s - Vessel Logs including biological observations + Pearl shell measurements. 1960s - Vessel Logs including biological observations + commercial Tuna and Northern Prawn. 1970s, 1980s and 1990s - Vessel Logs including biological observations. There are a few papers relating to data collected as early as 1938. Each folder of field data sheets will have a TRIM record created, then be scanned to PDF and made available via this record or the related voyage metadata record. The final aim of the project is to have a Marlin record for each data set, and as the need arises, have individual CMAR projects transcribe the data, and then add these data to the CMAR Data Warehouse.
