BRUVS (TM) - Fish and Benthic survey of Shoals: Townsville 2007-11-12 to 2007-11-19

The dataset comprises 2139 individuals from 68 species of fishes, sharks, rays and sea snakes observed at around Shoals: Townsville using 10 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). 172 images were captured from these cameras.
Approximately 3500 of the best images from all BRUVS (TM) projects are stored in a reference library.
Data recorded concern:
- classification of the habitat in the field of view (topography, sediments, benthos)
- the identity of fish and CAABCODES
- their time of arrival
- their behaviour (8 categories, including feeding on the bait)
- their maturity (adult or juvenile)
- their relative abundance (as MaxN = the maximum number visible at one time, or distinguishable at different times as separate individuals e.g. much larger/smaller, male/female)
- the time elapsed before MaxN and feeding occurs.
A custom interface has been developed by AIMS staff, using Microsoft Access, for reading and analysis of BRUVS(TM) tapes.

Wind statistics at Governor Head Meteorological Station, Jervis Bay in September 1989

This dataset is a component of the 'Jervis Bay Baseline Studies' project conducted by the Department of Defence, CSIRO and the Australian Defence Force Academy.
The meteorological station (35.133S, 150.762E) recorded winds and atmospheric pressure at Governor Head (Jervis Bay). The site is several hundred metres inland of 50m high cliffs and is 63m above sea-level.
This record provides wind statistics for September 1989. Five datasets are included here representing different times of the day: 0000-0550, 0600-1150, 1200-1750 and 1800-2350. Individual measurements have been converted so that trends of wind speed and direction can be seen for the time period in question. The fifth dataset incorporates all the wind data collected irrespective of time providing a monthly summary. The station initially recorded wind data at 10 minute intervals.
This is one of thirty-six child records that relate to the parent, 629051e0-2b7b-11dd-a343-00188b4c0af8. A pdf outlining the structure and hierarchy of all metadata records relating to the 'Jervis Bay Baseline Studies' project is available to download through this record. Meteorological data was collected to investigate wind forced circulation in Jervis Bay, NSW.

The age versus depth profile for core GC04, located off the coast of New Caledonia

Core GC04, was collected from the southeastern side of the New Caledonian Basin (22.99965 S, 166.150716 E). The age of the sediment at each sample depth was determined by correlating oxygen isotopes to the Martinson et al. (1987) age model. This information can then be used to infer sedimentation rates. The results indicate that core GC04 is characterised by slow sedimentation rates. The average sedimentation rate is 1.46cm/kyr. The minimum sedimentation rate is ~0.03cm/Kyr, occurring at around MIS 5c and maximum ~4cm/Ka occurring around MIS 5e.

RAN CTD Profile Data - SMB CASUARINA ProjectID: HI446(C)CAS_H From: 2009-01-18 To: 2009-02-22

This dataset contains quality controlled vertical profiles of pressure, temperature and salinity measured by a Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) probe. The dataset contains 36 CTD profiles (casts) obtained during RAN Hydrographic Survey cruise HI446(C)CAS_H from SMB CASUARINA. 
The CTD was manufactured by Falmouth Scientific and is the "2-inch Micro CTD" model. This CTD type is referred to operationally as the HS_CTD. This CTD is fitted within an inductive type conductivity cell, a platinum thermometer and silicon pressure sensor.
The CTD temperature sensor is calibrated on the ITS-90 temperature scale against a master CTD using a controlled temperature bath. The pressure sensor is calibrated using a Druck Pressure Calibrator. The conductivity sensor is calibrated in a temperature controlled bath against seawater samples of known conductivity.
The HS_CTD is lowered and raised by a hand winch sampling at a rate of 1.83 Hz. Data files were recorded in the downcast and upcast direction but most data is from downcasts due to higher quality. Raw CTD pressure data is not always monotonic due to transient up/down motion of winch/ship. Raw pressure data is subsetted to give a monotonic (increasing) sequence and then linearly interpolated to 1 decibar pressure intervals and converted to netCDF format files. Data is then flagged with quality control flags after visual inspection and comparison to average climatology and historical CTD casts.

Grainsize of surface samples collected from the sanded reef flat physiographic zone of Wistari Reef

Wistari Reef is a lagoonal platform reef, situated on the Tropic of Capricorn, within the Capricorn and Bunker region of the southern Great Barrier Reef. Five surface samples were taken from the sanded reef flats and analysed to determine grainsize and the sorting coefficient (expressed as the standard deviation of grainsize) within each sample. These sediments tend to consist of broken and reworked material that is derived and transported from the high energy windward reef flat. The sediments are moderately sorted  coarse sand, and vary from moderately to well rounded. Increasing maturity of the sediment is observed, as one moves from the windward sanded reef flats (sample S57) toward the leeward region (sample CE).

Quantifying the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon with increasing depth in core GC10, located in the Capricorn Channel

A gravity core (GC10) was collected from a depth of 335 mbsl within the Capricorn Channel, southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The data from stable isotopes of Globigerinoides ruber were analysed to allow a preliminary understanding of the hemipelagic sedimentary environment over the last glacial / interglacial cycle. The results suggest that the core reaches the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at ~130cm depth, corresponding to isotopically heavier 18O. The 13C appears to lag the 18O signal with the minimums just proceeding the glacial maximums in the 18O.

Cross shelf distribution and abundance of larval fishes in the Northern Section of the Great Barrier Reef

Light traps were drifted at approximately 10 kilometre intervals both along a 100 km transect across the Great Barrier Reef north of Lizard Island from the mainland into the Coral Sea, and along a 50 km transect south of Lizard Island from the mainland to the edge of the continental shelf. More than 1000 samples of fish and zooplankton were taken and fish identified to species level. Additional traps were anchored around Lizard Island, Eagle Island, Linnett Reef, Martin Reef, Day Reef and fished at the same time. Sampling was done monthly during the summer of 1995-96.

Effects of the bloom-forming alga Trichodesmium erythraeum on the pearl oyster Pinctada maxima

Farmed pearl oysters (Pinctada maxima) suffered high mortality in the Dampier Archipelago of Western Australia in 1996. The mortality event affected all oyster sizes and coincided with extensive blooms of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium erythraeum. The potent neurotoxin saxitoxin was detected in small amounts in some of the affected adult oysters but was not detectable in T. erythraeum. Vibrio species were isolated from some of the affected oysters but not in patterns consistent with a primary disease and no virus-like particles were observed. Juvenile oysters were exposed to medium and high concentrations of T. erythraeum in experimental aquaria for 7 days. No mortality of juvenile oysters occurred but individuals exposed to T. erythraeum at 105 cells/ml were less healthy than those fed upon the diatom Chaetoceros calcitrans. Histopathology of adult oysters from the affected farm and juvenile oysters exposed to T. erythraeum in the aquarium experiments were similar and included dilation of digestive gland lumens, sloughing of epithelial cells and granulocytes under the epithelial layer. These symptoms suggest that the T. erythraeum blooms in the archipelago were not a suitable food source for the oysters and may have contributed to the observed mortalities.

Coastal Lake Assessment and Management Tool (CLAM): Willis Creek, Coffs Harbour City Council

The Coastal Lake Assessment and Management (CLAM) tool allows stakeholders to assess the social, economic and environmental trade-offs associated with development, remediation and use options for coastal lakes and estuaries. Researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) developed CLAM in 2004 when contracted by the NSW State Government to provide sustainability assessments of 8 coastal lakes. Several projects have since been established directly with local government and NRM groups.
To date, 27 CLAMs have been developed in New South Wales, where they generally fit within estuary management or catchment management plans. To develop these CLAMs and build local capacity to maintain them, ANU-Enterprise Pty Ltd - the commercial company of ANU developed an Accreditation Scheme whereby local consultants are trained in the CLAM approach.

SAIMOS - Biological and Flow Cytometry data collected from CTD stations in South Australia, in March 2019

Flow cytometry data was collected in March 2019, in waters off South Australia. 
The general purpose of the study is to be able to establish background knowledge on the ecosystem on the continental shelf of South Australia and the impact of upwelling/saline outflow events on microbial communities to ultimately develop a biogeochemical model of the region. Sampling was carried out during cruises conducted on board the RV Ngerin as part of the Southern Australian Integrated Marine System (SAIMOS). During each cruise, the physical, chemical and biological properties of the chlorophyll fluorescence maximum (DCM) layer were investigated. Flow cytometry data has been collected for picophytoplankton, bacteria and viruses.
Six main stations have been sampled over the course of the study, five are located on the 100 m isobath, i.e. RS (35.508S, 136.278E), B2 (35.418S, 136.148E), B3 (35.258S, 136.048E), SAM2CP/B4 (35.168S, 135.418E) and SAM5CB/B5 (35.008S, 135.198E), and one from an offshore station (B1; 36.188S, 136.178E) located southwest of Kangaroo Island. Note that combining the distances between stations (14–25 nautical miles), the average component of the current velocity at middepth along the shelf (0.01 m s21) and the average speed of the vessel (i.e. 9 knots) indicate that different water masses were sampled at each station. Additional samples have on occasion been collected from the National Reference Station (NRS) at Kangaroo Island (35.832S, 136.447E) and the SA Spencer Gulf Mouth Mooring (SAM8SG, 35.25S, 136.690E), where the saline outflow occurs.
