IMOS BA SOOP - Bio Acoustic Data from Australian Wild Tuna's Santo Rocco in the Pacific Ocean from the 1st of May 2012 to the 3rd of May 2012.

This Bio Acoustic data was collected in May 2012 under the IMOS Ship of Opportunity (SOOP) Bio Acoustic (BA) program on Australian Wild Tuna's Santo Rocca (IMOS platform code: LFB13191P).

Bio acoustic signals allow understanding how mid-water prey species (known collectively as micronekton) such as small fish, squid, krill and jellyfish are distributed. 

Mid-water prey form the core of the ocean food web, transferring energy from primary producers at the ocean surface to top predators such as tunas, billfish, sharks, seals and seabirds.The mass and distribution of micronekton reflects broad-scale patterns in the structure and function of the ocean, as well as the dynamics of marine ecosystems. 

Acoustic mapping is done from fishing and scientific vessels that are equipped with scientifically-calibrated 38 kHz digital echo-sounders that record a slice of acoustic backscatter to a depth of 1500 meters.

IMOS - AUV SIRIUS, CAMPAIGN: WHYALLA, JUNE 2008

AUV Sirius (IMOS Platform code: SIRIUS) was deployed near Whyalla in South Australia in June 2008.

The objective of the trip was to document nocturnal cuttlefish camouflage behaviour near spawning grounds in Whyalla, SA.  In excess of 100,000 cuttlefish aggregate in this area each year to spawn.  The AUV spent one week following the Sir Joseph Banks trip being deployed at night in the shallow waters around these spawning grounds.  In all, 35 dives were completed over a 6 day/night period.  These short dives allowed the AUV to operate in very shallow waters where the cuttlefish are known to aggregate.

The dive reports from this campaign summarise AUV activity during each dive. Data for this campaign will soon be available.

IMOS - AUV SIRIUS, CAMPAIGN: Western Australia, APRIL 2012

Temperate WA (Kendrick, Babcock, Smale): A cruise was undertaken in collaboration with the University of Western Australian and CSIRO to document benthic assemblages on temperate reefs off the coast of Western Australia in April, 2012. This cruise was the third in a 3 year series of IMOS AUV Facility cruises intended to establish a benthic habitat timeseries along the Eastern and Western coasts of Australia. These surveys have been repeated annually for three years. Surveys were conducted off Rottnest Island, Jurien Bay, and the Abrolhos Islands. Sites were surveyed at each location spanning three depths (15 m, 25 m, 40 m), both inside and outside MPAs, with three 25 m x 25 m full photo coverage quadrants devoted to each site. Site locations targeted kelp beds and were provided by the science party. The locations of individual quadrants within each site were selected to repeat surveys conducted in 2010 and 2011. Additional scientific operations carried out during the cruise consisted of CTD casts.

IMOS - AUV SIRIUS CAMPAIGN: WESTERN AUSTRALIA, APRIL 2011

Rottnest Island, Jurien Bay and the Abrolhos (Kendrick, Smale): AUV benthic reference sites were established at Rottnest Island, Jurien Bay and the Abrolhos Islands. Large swell at some sites meant that the vehicle was being moved around a lot leading to some patchy holes in the meshes, predominantly at the Rottnest site.  The  information available to help plan dive locations became less detailed as the deployments moved further north.  The dives at the Abrolhos were planned using simple nautical charts and featured more sand and coral than kelp. It would be useful to secure multibeam surveys in the region to help plan future dives

Temperate WA (Kendrick, Babcock, Smale): A cruise was undertaken in collaboration with the University of Western Australian and CSIRO to document benthic assemblages on temperate reefs off the coast of Western Australia in April, 2010. This cruise was the first in a 3 year series of IMOS AUV Facility cruises intended to establish a benthic habitat timeseries along the Eastern and Western coasts of Australia. The expectation is that these surveys will be repeated annually for at least the next two years. Surveys were conducted off Rottnest Island, Jurien Bay, and the Abrolhos Islands. Six sites were surveyed at each location spanning three depths (15 m, 25 m, 40 m), both inside and outside MPAs, with three 25 m x 25 m full photo coverage quadrants devoted to each site. Site locations targeted kelp beds and were provided by the science party. The locations of individual quadrants within each site were decided on‐site, based on bathymetric or depth sounder information. Additional scientific operations carried out during the cruise consisted of CTD casts, HOBO logger equipped moorings deployments, and SCUBA.

IMOS - AUV SIRIUS CAMPAIGN: TASMANIA, OCTOBER 2008

AUV Sirius (IMOS Platform code: SIRIUS) spent two weeks in Tasmania in October 2008 surveying sites as part of the Commonwealth Environmental Research Facility (CERF) Marine Biodiversity Research Hub.  

The AUV deployments focused on sites along the Tasman Peninsula in South East Tasmania and in the Huon Marine Protected Area (MPA).  The objective of the cruise was to describe biological assemblages associated with rocky reef systems in deep shelf waters beyond normal diving depths. Detailed multibeam mapping of the survey areas had been undertaken prior to the AUV deployment to determine suitable survey locations and to identify any hazards to operation. 

At each location, multiple reefs were selected for detailed survey work at a range of depths from approximately 50 m to 150 m.  Dive profiles were designed to include sufficient replication to quantitatively determine abundances of key species/features within depth strata, within reefs, between reefs (km to 100 km scale), and between differing levels of reef complexity.  

Over the course of the 10 days of operation, the vehicle undertook 19 dives and visited all the sites of interest identified prior to the voyage.  At the conclusion of the trip the dataset included over 1TB of geotiff imagery, multibeam, AUV tracks, 3D textured meshes and hydrographical data.

The sites visited in October 2008 were:
- Waterfall Bay
- O'Hara Reef
- Patch-Reef-North
- Hippo North
- Chevron Rock
- Little Hippo North
- Little Hippo South East
- Hippo South
- Chevron Rock South
- Blowhole
- Sisters
- Port Arthur Channel
- Port Arthur Patch-Reef

- Butt's Reef
