This dataset contains the processed Hydrology (HYD) data collected on Soela voyage SO 5/82. The voyage took place in the North West Shelf during 25 September - 27 October 1982. This dataset has been processed and is archived within the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the cruise report for this voyage and/or the data processing report (as available). Soela on-voyage hydrology data are typically obtained from water samples collected in Niskin bottles at various depths. Parameters measured normally comprise temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, silicate, and nitrite.
This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Soela cruise SO 5/82. This cruise took place in the North West Shelf during 25 September - 27 October 1982, under the leadership of Keith Sainsbury and R. Lindholm. Biological data collected on this cruise include length frequency of 47 species and biological samples (for growth, reproduction and mortality studies) from 32 species. Larval fish and zooplankton samples from shallow waters and out past the shelf break. Benthic fauna and some epibenthos specimens. Data from healthy fish tagging. Biological data on 63 sharks and squid samples from trawls when caught. Lethrinid gonads were collected for sex inversion studies.(derived from the cruise report) - Biological data is available via Data Trawler. - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available on-line at http://www.marine.csiro.au/datacentre/process/data_files/BioData/log_sheet_scans/BOX_AB2009_544/BOX_AB2009_544_index.htm and http://www.marine.csiro.au/datacentre/process/data_files/BioData/log_sheet_scans/BOX_AB2009_548/BOX_AB2009_548_index.htm
