The Australian Fish Chorus Catalogue (2005 - 2023)

A fish chorus occurs when many individual fish vocalise continuously for a prolonged period, increasing background sound levels within a characteristic frequency band. Fish choruses are thought to be produced in association with fish life functions such as breeding, feeding, and aggregation. Monitoring these biological acoustic events can provide important ecological information regarding the distribution, habitat use, reproductive behaviour, biodiversity, and in some circumstances even the local abundance of fish populations. Hundreds of fish choruses have been reported around the world since the mid-1940s; however, an effort to collate fish chorus records in a publicly accessible format has yet to be made. The Australian Fish Chorus Catalogue is an inventory of the spectrographic and audio records of 301 Australian fish choruses. These records were extracted from acoustic data recorded from 83 locations in marine and estuarine waters around Australia by the Centre for Marine Science and Technology, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries, Parks Australia, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Fish chorus records were collated through the manual observation and extraction of records using the Centre for Marine Science and Technology's custom-built Characterisation of Recorded Underwater Sound MATLAB toolbox and custom-written MATLAB software. The Australian Fish Chorus Catalogue is intended to be used as a reference for future studies to gain a greater understanding of how fish contribute to Australian aquatic soundscapes, to help identify fish chorus source species, and to contribute to the future monitoring and management of Australian fish populations. Future work on this catalogue will involve the inclusion of newly identified fish choruses and the classification of choruses to identify the extent of their geographic distribution.

CTD profiles and underway seawater samples from IN2024_T01 (KSA324 assessment 2024)

This record describes the conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data and underway water sample data collected during the CSIRO Investigator transit voyage IN2024_T01, between 9 March and 20 March 2024. The objective of the voyage was for a safe transit from Fremantle, Western Australia, to Hobart, Tasmania. This record was part of a piggyback project whereby undergraduate students attained at-sea training through the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies and the University of Tasmania. The project aim was for students to gain experience with oceanographic data collection, processing and analysis. The CTD data includes 7 CTD profiles that measured conductivity, temperature, pressure, dissolved oxygen, salinity, fluorescence, turbidity and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Each of these parameters were collected during each CTD profile. The CTD data also includes calculated measurements of ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, as well as chlorophyll-a, from select rosette bottles. The underway water sample data includes 41 duplicate samples of calculated measurements of chlorophyll-a and associated calculated measurements of ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate and silicate nutrient concentrations. In both data files, ODV quality flags have been used to indicate data quality.

WAMSI 2 - Kimberley Node - Project 1.2.1a - Modelling the movement and spatial distribution of humpback whales in the nearshore waters of the Kimberley, Western Australia

Modeling the movement and spatial distribution of humpback whales in the Nearshore waters of the Kimberley. This project will directly address this need by collating and synthesising all existing data on distribution, abundance and movement patterns of humpback whales and associated environmental data collected across the north-west and in the Kimberley. Using state-of-the-art analytical approaches to characterise and understand the movement behaviour of humpback whales and the environmental context in which they occur.

The purpose of this project will be to compile and analyse existing humpback whale survey data and tracking data to understand the distribution, abundance and movement patterns of humpback whales in relation to environmental features. Additionally, identify information gaps and fill them with a targeted field research program and ultimately provide advice for future monitoring and management

Existing whale data will be collated and combined and raster.asc will be created for the spatial modelling component of this project.

EcoRRAP Habitat Complexity Metrics

The current habitat complexity metrics are extracted from 3D digital surface models (DSMs) of benthic communities at EcoRRAP study sites. DSMs are generated from raw imagery collected by divers (see SOP: AIMS_EcoRRAP_SOP14_V1_FIeld-Photogrammetry4D_Overview-infield-workflow_2024Update.pdf) and processed using photogrammetry software Agisoft Metashape (see SOP: AIMS_EcoRRAP_SOP16_V1_Field-Photogrammetry4D_3D-Model-Processing_2023_06.2025.pdf) and are available here: EcoRRAP Digital Surface Models - AIMS. Habitat complexity metrics are extracted from DSMs using &#39;metricsCalc&#39; and &#39;complexitymetrics&#39; tools developed by Ryan Krensel, Mitch Bryson and Will Figueira from the University of Sydney. A total of 38 habitat complexity metrics are generated for each DSM and include 2D and 3D measurements of model surface area, volume, rugosity, and a range of other structure metrics. Metric definitions are provided in the attached metadata documents. The metrics have been extracted for all models available from 2021 to 2025 and are available here: \pearl\ecorrap\SurveyOutputProducts\DSLRSurveys\ComplexityMetrics\Plot_Complexity

Towed Video deployments in Timor Sea Banks and Shoals (Montara 4)

Towed Video surveys down to a depth of ~50 m was completed successfully at the following shoals (Baracuda East, Goeree Shoal, Vulcan Shoal). Sampling involved habitat classification conducted in real-time during the surveys, and taking photographic still image at 5s intervals for subsequent analysis as the cameras were towed across the shoals at a speed of 1-2 knots.
 This project is a co-investment between PTTEPAA and AIMS, in order to build scientific knowledge on a number of shoal features in the area near Montara and was undertaken between 19/9/2016 - 24/9/2016.
 Benthos Point intercept data extraction from high resolution still images @ 10m spacing was entered into the AIMS TowedStills system prior to subsequent specialist statistical analyses.

IMOS - Animal Tracking Facility Satellite Relay Tagging Program

The Animal Tracking Facility (formerly known as the Australian Animal Tracking And Monitoring System (AATAMS)) is a coordinated marine animal tagging project.  

Satellite Relay Data Loggers (SRDL) (most with CTDs, and some also with fluorometers) are used to explore how marine mammal behaviour relates to their oceanic environment. Loggers developed at the University of St Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit transmit data in near real time via the Argo satellite system.

The Satellite Relay Data Loggers are deployed on marine mammals, including Elephant Seals, Weddell Seals, Australian Fur Seals, Australian Sea Lions, New Zealand Fur Seals. Data parameters measured by the instruments include time, conductivity (salinity), temperature, speed, fluorescence (available in the future)  and depth.

Data is being collected in the Southern Ocean, the Great Australian Bight, and off the South-East Coast of Australia.
