This product (i.e. an Access database and csv files) contains data (longitude, latitude and physical data) that explains the predicted spatial patterns of benthic habitats for demersal fish and benthic invertebrates in the EMR. Predicted patterns for habitats represent point data on a 0.01 decimal degree grid covering most of the EMR (approximately 78,000 square km).
NSW Fisheries demersal fish and prawn surveys from 1975 to 2006 using the FRV Kapala (1990-96), FV Trader Horn, FV Shelley H, FV Kirrawa and FV May Bell II. Area of operations is from SW Queensland to Bass Strait. The CMAR Catch Operations data set includes information about the time, location depth and catch method (trawl net etc) for each operation, species code and specimen details. Individual metadata records have been created for each research voyage. The data are held in the CMAR Data Warehouse, which currently holds over 4165 (hauls) catch operation records.
This product (i.e. an Access database and csv files) contains data (longitude, latitude and physical data) that explains the predicted spatial patterns of benthic habitats for demersal fish and benthic invertebrates in the SEMR. Predicted patterns for habitats represent point data on a 0.01 decimal degree grid covering most of the SEMR (approximately 300,000 square km).
