BlueLink Ocean Archive

BOA is the result of collecting together the majority of global high-quality buoy and shipboard deepwater hydrographic cast data. It is built on the NOAA/NODC World Ocean Database (BOA06 uses WOD01), WOCE WHP3, Argo, TAO, CSIRO and NIWA archives, and a number of other sources. The component datasets of BOA are stored separately in a range of formats since the nature of these datasets is quite varied. This approach allows easy updating of components (for example, the Argo subset is completely renewed every couple of months.) Where the same data could reside in multiple datasets, those datasets are duplicate cross-checked after any updates (scanning only on the basis of time and location, not the enormous task of searching for duplicated property profiles.). BOA is available in a packaged form of one netCDF file per property (created in July 2006.) Neutral density profiles are also computed and stored in file gamma_BOA06.nc. These files are available via an OpenDAP server and for internal use as local netCDF files.

Exploring the potential of bath sponge aquaculture in Torres Strait 2005

A series of farming experiments were done in Torres Strait using the common bath sponge Coscinoderma n. sp. to establish commercially viable culture procedures. The first experiment compared several farming methods and found that mesh panels promoted greatest sponge growth and survival, probably because they cause minimal tissue damage. Using mesh panels, a subsequent experiment examined the importance of farming site and season of transplant. Sponge growth and survival were similar between the three farming sites, while growth was highest for explants transplanted at the end of winter. These explants doubled in size on average in 6 months. The final experiment examined the optimal explant size to transplant and found that 'medium sized' explants (104 cm3) have good growth and survival, and permit high explant production from a given amount of sponge biomass. This study has identified good farming procedures, and coupled with the high growth rates of Coscinoderma n. sp., it suggests that bath sponge aquaculture in Torres Strait will be a viable industry.

Closures Review in the Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF)

This dataset contains information on closures collected from various NPF Management meetings, from the 1970's to 2004 (see below). Information was collected on why closures were proposed, evidence presented, and reasons why the proposals were accepted, rejected or modified. Emphasis is placed on obtaining information on why a closure was instigated, and the reasons why closures undergo subsequent modification. Scientific research carried out within or near each closures is also listed. Data were collected for closures that already existed at the time of database creation (2004), and it is planned that data collection will be ongoing, subject to funding and personnel availability. The data collected is linked to an existing GIS database containing spatial information on gazetted closures. Data sources for the historical review included: NORPAC/ NORMAC agendas and minutes, 1982 - 2004; Northern Fisheries Council documentation; Closures Task Force /Closure Committee minutes; Departmental Correspondence; Government Gazettes; AFMA NPF Directions; NPF publications (e.g. Pownall, 1994); Meeting notes kept by some research representatives on the above committees. The project objectives were: a. Identify the reasons for the designation of each closure and any information from research surveys that are available to evaluate the reasoning (including instances where no information exists). b. Develop agreed criteria to classify the different types of closures in the fishery. c. Develop and document protocols and criteria to be used to review (change or remove) an existing closure. d. Develop and document protocols and criteria to be used to establish new closures in the fishery. e. Provide Industry with succinct information that allows the consideration of the implementation, success and future advantage of the current closures.

CSIRO Micronekton Database: 1992 to 2018

Micronekton are small (~2-20 cm) free-swimming pelagic organisms. Ecologically, they are the mediators between primary production to higher trophic orders, by providing the trophic link between the mesozooplankton and apex predators. Here we describe CSIRO’s micronekton data holdings collected from 1992 to 2018 from 13 surveys within six areas around southeastern Australia and the Southern and Indian Oceans. Surveys include depth stratified sampling, integrated sampling and some diurnal and seasonal replication. Comparisons between surveys were made by standardising data using a consistent method for volume filtered estimates.

Investigation of School and Gummy Shark Nursery Areas in South East Tasmania and South East Australia

School shark pupping areas in inshore waters of Tasmania and Victoria identified by Olsen in the 1940s and 1950s were re-sampled using gillnets &amp; longlines from 1991-97. Current catch rates are much lower at all sites and pups are apparently no longer present at some sites. Additional sampling of mainly inshore embayments in Tasmania and Victoria failed to locate significant new pupping grounds of school shark. Limited sampling in South Australia and Western Australia failed to catch school shark pups. Relatively few gummy shark pups were caught anywhere in this study; no significant pupping grounds were located and pupping appears to take place over scattered locations in inshore waters. Catch data includes a wide variety of sharks, rays and teleosts species, the most numerous being: Squalus megalops, Platycephalus bassensis, Squalus acanthias, Pseudophycis bachus, Aldrichetta forsteri, Mustelus antarticus, Callorhynchus milii, Galeorhinus galeus, Tracurus declivis, Cephaloscyllium laticeps, Neosebastes scorpaenoides, Platycephalus richardsoni, and Sillago bassensis. The fish catch data was taken from school shark nursery areas in Tasmania and Victoria, this study is split into 2 portions, first a 12 month study (91-92), followed by a multi-year study (92-97).
Further documentation was added in March 2014, see below.
