Surface sampling data from merchant vessels, SE Australian waters 1954-1960 (published data)

These data, reported in various volumes of CSIRO's "Oceanographic Station List" series between 1957 and 1962, comprise mainly measurements of surface temperature, salinity (as chlorinity), and (in later stages) phosphate from sea surface samples collected by merchant ships in Bass Strait and surrounding waters. Vessels contributing t the sampling program include TSS "Taroona" and "Princess of Tasmania, SS "Talune", and MVs "Claire Crouch", "Denman", Century", "Jillian Crouch", "Lorinna", "Marra", "Pateena", "Poolta", "Risdon", and "Wareatea". Sampling began in December 1954 and was still in progress December 1960, the last date for which data were published in this series. The merchant vessel sampling program was carried out at a time when the CSIRO Division of Fisheries had no dedicated ocean-going research vessel, as a means of acquiring information about offshore waters. In the volumes cited, similar data are also reported from the Coral Sea, Tasman Sea, and the south-east Indian Ocean.

Nutritional value (oil, fatty acid and cholesterol composition) of edible Australian fishes

The content and composition of the oil from nearly 200 species of Australian fish, shellfish and crustaceans were examined. The nutritional value of Australian species was determined with respect to oil composition, as was how oil content may differ with geographical region, taxonomic group and other factors. This knowledge has been transferred, in various formats, to the Fishing Industry, nutritionists and other consumer groups to better utilize the total catch, including waste products.

Patterns of abundance and size of Dictyoceratid sponges among neighbouring islands in central Torres Strait, Australia 2005

Distribution and size frequency patterns of sessile organisms such as sponges may vary among and within neighbouring reefs. In this study, we examine small scale variation of dictyoceratid sponges (class Demospongiae), commonly found on coral reefs, by surveying six neighbouring islands in central Torres Strait. Each island had four study sites, at least 1 km apart, with each site consisting of three shallow (4-6 m) and three deep (10-15 m) 20 m2 transects. For each transect, we recorded the number of each species and measured the size of the more common dictyoceratid sponges. Seven species of dictyoceratid were recorded in central Torres Strait, with only three species, Coscinoderma sp., Dysidea herbacea and Hyrtios erecta, common to all six islands. Abundance patterns generally varied greatly among islands or sites within islands, perhaps resulting from a combination of physical, biological and stochastic factors. More dictyoceratids were found in deeper water, although abundance across depth for some species varied among islands or sites. Size frequency distribution patterns also varied greatly among islands and between dictyoceratid species, indicating that factors that may promote growth for one species may not necessarily promote growth for a related species. This study shows that patterns of abundance and size of dictyoceratids can vary greatly over small spatial scales and that patterns are species specific.
