Biological and environmental correlates of reefs with contrasting abalone densities

In 2006, transect surveys were conducted at sites in eastern inshore Tasmanian waters at depths and habitats typical of those where abalone are commercially fished. Surveys focused on four areas of the Tasmanian coastline including St Helens, Bicheno and Dunalley on the east coast and the Actaeons region on the south-east coast; with at least 10 reefs sampled in each region.

Krill Sterol and Lipid Class Fatty Acid Data

Fatty acid analysis is a powerful tool in food web research for estimating dietary sources in marine predators. However, the utility of fatty acids as dietary indicators from whole lipid samples, rather than from separate lipid classes, has been questioned. Samples are often collected at a single time point, precluding seasonal dietary comparisons. We investigated variations in the fatty acid composition of structural (phospholipids) and storage lipids (triacylglycerols) of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) using fisheries samples obtained over one year. Seasonal variation was observed in fatty acid biomarkers within triacylglycerol and phospholipid fractions of krill. Fatty acids in krill triacylglycerols (thought to better represent recent diet), reflected omnivorous feeding with highest percentages of flagellate biomarkers (18:4n-3) in summer, and diatom biomarkers (16:1n-7c) in autumn, winter and spring. Carnivory biomarkers (∑ 20:1 + 22:1 and 18:1n-9c/18:1n-7c) in krill were greater in autumn. Phospholipid fatty acids were less variable and higher in 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3, which are essential components of cell membranes. Sterol composition did not yield detailed dietary information, but percentages of the major krill sterol, cholesterol, were significantly higher in winter and spring compared with summer and autumn. Unexpectedly, 18:4n-3 and copepod markers ∑ 20:1 + 22:1 were not strongly associated with the triacylglycerol fraction during some seasons. Krill may mobilise 18:4n-3 to phospholipids for conversion to long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, which would have implications for its role as a dietary biomarker. For the first time, we demonstrate the dynamic seasonal relationship between specific biomarkers and krill lipid classes.

Marine Futures Project - Abrolhos Islands - reef habitat

The Marine Futures Project was designed to benchmark the current status of key Western Australian marine ecosystems, based on an improved understanding of the relationship between marine habitats, biodiversity and our use of these values. Approximately 1,500 km2 of seafloor were mapped using hydroacoustics (Reson 8101 Multibeam), and expected benthic habitats "ground-truthed" using towed video transects and baited remote underwater video systems. Both sources of information were then combined in a spatial predictive modelling framework to produce fine-scale habitat maps showing the extent of substrate types, biotic formations, etc.

Surveys took place across 9 study areas, including the Abrolhos Islands, a group of 122 limestone outcrops surrounded by fringing reed ca. 60km west from the city of Geraldton. The Abrolhos research location is the most northerly of the Marine Futures sampling sites, selected due to the unique mixture of tropical coral reef habitats, and temperate reef and seagrass communities.The hydroacoustics data were processed to construct full coverage maps of bathymetry and textural information.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2023_V07 ADCP Data

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V07, titled: "SWOT-ACC: smaller scales of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in a meander south of Tasmania." The voyage took place between November 15, 2023 and December 20, 2023 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Hobart.

The OS75 was not turned on due to the degraded performance, the WH75 was installed on the starboard drop keel to make up for the faulty OS75 and worked well for the duration of the voyage. The OS150 operated normally.

ADCP data were collected using the University of Hawaii Data Acquisition System (UHDAS) and post-processed using the Common Ocean Data Access System (CODAS). Documentation for these systems can be found in (Hummon, 2009-2021).

The RDI Ocean Surveyor OS150kHz was run in narrowband mode (nb) and the RDI Ocean Surveyor WH75kHz ADCP was run in broadband mode (bb).

Internal triggering was used.

Both port and starboard drop keels are located approximately 6m below the water line, additionally both port and starboard keels were extended by 1.2m for the entire duration of the voyage, subsequently the transducers were located approximately 7.2m below the water line.

For more information please see the Processing Report (linked below).

This dataset was processed (quality-controlled), and then archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC).

IMOS - Larval Fish Sub-Facility - Database of Marine Larval Fish Assemblages in Australian temperate and subtropical waters (1983 - 2021)

Larval fishes are a useful metric of marine ecosystem state and change, as well as species-specific patterns in phenology. This information sheds light on larval distribution and spawning for fisheries management needs. This dataset includes larval fish abundances collected from 12 voyages around Australia since 1983, as well as more recent data from the Marine National Facility (MNF). The backbone of the dataset is from five Integrated Marine Observing Systems (IMOS) National Reference Stations (NRS) (North Stradbroke, Port Hacking, Maria Island, Kangaroo Island and Rottnest Island), between 2014 and 2021 as part of the IMOS Larval Fish Monitoring Sub-Facility of the National Mooring Network Facility (data available up to 2021). This adds information to the biological, ecological and oceanic measurements already sampled at these long-term monitoring sites. For information on using the data from the NRS stations and research voyages, please refer to Smith et al., 2018. It is advised that anyone using this data should read this methodology or contact the project contact person to understand the nuances of each sampling and analysis chain.

The fish larvae product is available as raw count product, where fish larvae are classified to the lowest taxonomic level possible (with 228 taxonomic groups identified so far, at either the Family, Genus, or Species level). Associated metadata includes location, temperature, salinity, net type, and tow volume.

Note - this IMOS Sub-facility ceased operations in June 2022.

There is a static snapshot of the database as at March 2018 (https://dx.doi.org/10.4225/69/5ab33c62f9c52), and this has been documented in a Scientific Data publication (Smith et al., 2018). This metadata record provides access to the dynamic (most recent) version of the database, which can serve as a data repository for survey of larval fish assemblages in the region.

IMOS - OceanCurrent - Gridded sea level anomaly - Delayed mode - DM00 (superseded)

Gridded (adjusted) sea level anomaly (GSLA), gridded sea level (GSL) and surface geostrophic velocity (UCUR,VCUR) for the Australasian region. GSLA is mapped using optimal interpolation of detided, de-meaned, inverse-barometer-adjusted altimeter and tidegauge estimates of sea level. GSL is GSLA plus an estimate of the departure of mean sea level from the geoid - mean sea level (over 18 years of model time) of Ocean Forecasting Australia Model version 3 (OFAM3). The geostrophic velocities are derived from GSLA and the mean surface velocity drom OFAM3. 

The altimeter data window for input to the Delayed Mode (DM) maps is symmetrical about the map date. The width of the window is dependent on the number of altimeters flying at the time and ranges from 30 days to 14 days. The altimeter data window for Near Real Time (NRT) maps is asymmetrical about the analysis date (-21 to 4 days). For both NRT and DM, altimeter data is weighted by the difference between the analysis date of the map and the time of each altimeter observation.

Since December 2020, this DM00 product has been no longer updated, and data is unavailable via the AODN Portal since April 2023 (the data has been archived). This product was superseded by the DM01 product, available via https://catalogue-imos.aodn.org.au/geonetwork/srv/api/records/c68b6e1b-98a6-415e-8563-f526e1db1bd5.
