Biological Data from CMR Research Vessels from the Australian North West Shelf (1982-1997 "North West Shelf Study" database)

This was originally a compilation dataset containing all vessel-collected and centrally held biological data from CMR voyages forming part of the 1982-1997 "North West Shelf Study". The data were extracted from the master North West Shelf Database (as described by R. Campbell, 1984 unpublished, with additional data from 1995 and 1997) for the use of the NWS Joint Environmental Management Study, and have been subject to additional maintenance with some new information added by Xi He's group. This version of the data is a copy of the MS Access files held by Xi's group as at October 2000, with no additional quality checks. Data represented are operation, species, and length-frequency data from Soela voyages SO 5/82, SO 6/82, SO 1/83, SO 2/83, SO 3/83, SO 4/83, SO 5/83, SO 6/86, SO 7/87, SO 5/88, Pride of Eden PoE 4/89, Southern Surveyor SS 02/90, SS 04/91, SS 08/95 and SS 07/97. Biological data from other CSIRO voyages through this region but not part of this series of cruises has been extracted separately as a complementary dataset to the present one (see separate metadata record "Biological Data from CMR Research Vessels, North West Shelf, part II"). In addition to the trawl station and catch data, details of photographic stations is included along with recently compiled data from detailed analyses of the underwater photographs carried out subsequent to the original data collection. Additional information regarding individual components of this dataset is contained in separate MarLIN metadata records which exist for each voyage (e.g. "Soela Voyage SO 5/82 Biological Data Overview", etc.), and in the cruise report for each voyage. Information regarding the photographic analyses is held by Xi He's group. Access to BIODATA is now available via the Data Trawler application, please see Data link.

South East Fishery (SEF) Ecosystem Study 1993-1996: Focussed habitat sampling - Fish Trap (Starfire 1996)

Focussed habitat sampling of eight macrohabitats (defined by bottom type, soft hard or rough) in three mesohabitats (key study areas presenting a variety of shelf habitats describd by fishers) using fish traps from a commercial vessel (incidental catches were also taken with modified crab traps). Six of the macrohabitats were located in Disaster Bay off southern NSW, the other two were in Victorian waters off Pt Hicks. Traps were deployed and retrieved at dawn and dusk giving near equal day/night saoking times. 18 deployments yielded 1520 fish (~900 kg) and 258.5 kg hermit crabs.

Biodiversity Characterisation of Pilbara Marine Regions (Epibenthic Sled, Trawl, Towed Video and Sediment) 2013

This dataset is an output of the Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) Environmental Pressures Theme - Project Habitats and Biodiversity Characterisation and Mapping.  The benthic invertebrate, plant and fish biodiversity of the west Pilbara region was sampled between 10 and 27 June 2013 during voyages on the CSIRO vessel RV Linnaeus and WA Fisheries vessel RV Naturaliste. 
The equipment used was:
0.75m epibenthic sled at 13 sites for a distance of ~300m or a
1.5m epibenthic sled at 98 sites for a distance of ~150m per tow; 
a Pipe dredge attached to each sled;
an 8 Fathom Florida Flyer Trawl at 43 sites for a distance of ~1km per tow;
and a Drop-Camera video system towed for a 500 m transect at 123 sites to observe and record video of the seabed habitat. Continuous underway coding during Drop-camera transects recorded cover of 9 substratum types, 25 biohabitat types, and occurrence of 14 faunal classes.
The results for the Sled and Trawl are presented as biomass per area swept by the gear (kg per ha).  
During the Voyage Biota collected using the Sled and Trawl were sorted into 26 broad taxonomic categories from each tow (samples). These  were photographed, weighed, preserved and retained for identification.
Large biota such as turtles and seasnakes were measured, counted, weighed (or weight estimated), photographed and returned to the ocean alive.
Non-living rocks/shells were photographed and weighed as a category called trash and returned to the ocean.
The following groups were retained and identified by taxonomists and voucher specimens curated at WA Museum:
Marine Plants;
Sponges;
Corals;
Crustaceans;
Echinoderms;
Molluscs;
and Fishes
The following groups were retained with no facility for further identification as part of this project, and are currently at CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere WA:
Ascidians - samples separated into colonial and solitary preserved in formalin;
Brachiopoda - Frozen;
Bryozoa - Frozen;
Hydroids - Frozen;
Miscellaneous - Frozen;
Worms - Formalin.
A pipe-dredge was attached to the sled to collect sediment samples: a 500 ml subsample was retained.
The Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) was an initiative designed to enhance the net conservation benefits of the globally-significant coral reef ecosystems of the Pilbara (Western Australia) by providing an assessment of the condition and trajectory of key ecological values. These assessments were designed to inform and complement existing governance and management arrangements and the PMCP is intended to provide ongoing advice and assessment for conservation efforts in the region, providing lasting benefits.
The PMCP concept is based on three core ecological components, namely: 
Coral Reef Health - concentrating mainly on habitat forming primary producers.
Fish and Sharks - their community structure, interactions and impacts on lower trophic levels.
Environmental Pressures - physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the condition of reefs
