Genetic monitoring of open ocean biodiversity: an evaluation of DNA metabarcoding for processing continuous plankton recorder samples Authors: Bruce Deagle , Laurence Clarke , John Kitchener, Andrea Polanowski, Andrew Davidson.  Molecular Ecology Resources.
The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) has been used to characterise zooplankton biodiversity along transects covering hundreds of thousands of kilometres in the Southern Ocean CPR survey. Plankton collected by the CPR is currently identified using is classical taxonomy (i.e. using a microscope and morphological features). We investigated the potential to use DNA metabarcoding (species identification from DNA mixtures using high-throughput DNA sequencing) as a tool for rapid collection of taxonomic data from CPR samples.
In our study, zooplankton were collected on CPR silks along two transects between Tasmania and Macquarie Island.  Plankton were identified using standard microscopic methods and by sequencing a mitochondrial COI marker. Data provided in the Dryad Data entry include the DNA sequences (Illumina MiSeq) recovered, the morphological identifications and the R-code used to analyse these data.
The results from our study show that a DNA-based approach increased the number of metazoan species identified and provided high resolution taxonomy of groups problematic in conventional surveys (e.g. larval echinoderms and hydrozoans).  Metabarcoding also generally produced more detections than microscopy, but this sensitivity may make cross-contamination during sampling a problem. In some samples, the prevalence of DNA from larger plankton (such as krill) masked the presence of smaller species. Overall, the genetic data represents a substantial shift in perspective, making direct integration into current long-term time-series challenging. We discuss a number of hurdles that exist for progressing this powerful DNA metabarcoding approach from the current snapshot studies to the requirements of a long-term monitoring program.

Biology of the Mertz Glacier Polynya - Protist Data

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 1101
See the link below for public details on this project.
---- Public Summary from Project ----
Most of our knowledge of the Antarctic marine ecosystems comes from summer surveys. There are very few observations of this ecosystem in winter and there is a fundamental lack of knowledge of understanding of even basic questions such as 'what is there?' and 'what's it doing?'.  The proposed visit to the sea ice zone in winter is a rare opportunity to conduct observations on phytoplankton, krill, birds, seals and whales, so that we can begin to understand the biological processes that go on in winter.
Data for this project were intended to be collected on a 1998 winter voyage of the Aurora Australis, but a fire on board meant that the voyage had to return to port before work could be carried out.
Data were then collected the following year during a 1999 winter voyage of the Aurora Australis (IDIOTS), which ran from July to September.
Data attached to this metadata record, include protist, bacteria and virus data collected from the Mertz Glacier region.
The purpose of this research was to quantify and identify the different assemblages of phytoplankton, change in virus populations and the number of live/dead bacteria between Tasmania and the polynya, within the polynya and sea ice.   A variety of methods were used including HPLC, light and fluorescent microscopy and the collection of samples for subsequent analysis upon return to the Antarctic Division.  
More information is available in the download file.
The samples were collected by Rick van den Enden.

Phytoplankton Data Collected During CPR Tows of the Southern Ocean - Australian Antarctic Division Copy

Data are "phytoplankton counts" for each phytoplankton taxon observed, from the CPR samples collected by the Southern Ocean CPR Survey projects 472 and 4107 (Hosie et al. 2003).  The SAHFOS on-silk phytoplankton count method  is used (Batten et al. 2003).  Phytoplankton are identified to the best taxonomic level possible, ideally to species or at least genus, in 20 fields of view (295 plus or minus 10 microns) per sample (section of silk).  See Figure 2 of Batten et al.  (2003).  Each sample usually represents 5 nautical miles for SO-CPR.   The "phytoplankton count" is the number of fields of view where a phytoplankton species/ taxon was observed, recorded for each taxon for each sample.  It is effectively a frequency of occurrence score.
The CPR is a device towed at normal ship speed, approximately 100 m behind the ship at a depth of 8-10 m.  Plankton enter a small aperture 12.7 x 12.7 mm which then expands into a tunnel 100 x 50 mm reducing the speed by about 1/30.  Plankton are then sandwiched between two sheets of 270 micron silk gauze, before rolling into a preservation tank of formaldehyde.  Each tow is approximately 450 nautical miles.  Regardless of ship speed the silk advances at a fixed rate of about 1 cm per nautical mile.  Silks are cut into 5 nautical mile equivalent lengths and both phyto- an zooplankton are counted.  Each sample is coded with time and date (GMT) and latitude and Longitude, plus averaged environmental data over the 5 nautical miles, e.g. water temperature, salinity, fluorescence, light.  Zooplankton data and  methods are described in Metadata record AADC-00099.

Biological data and observations collected from the HIPPIES cruise of the Aurora Australis, 2003-2004

This is a dataset of biological data collected via observations, trawls, and PTT tags. These data were recovered in 2022 while tidying up various voyage datasets.  Original information about the data is unknown, however there are a number of details held within the data.
The data were collected on a voyage of the Aurora Australis to the Heard Island area as part of the HIMI Ecosystem Project.  The HIMI Ecosystem Project was aimed at examining key predators based on Heard Island, including albatross, penguins and seals, and their interactions with prey, the ocean and benthic environment and commercial fisheries. Work included examining the diet of the animals, tracking them to determine where they feed, and examining prey available in the feeding areas. Scientists from a variety of backgrounds including bird and mammal biologists, marine biologists, oceanographers and marine geologists were involved.
The voyage was colloquially known as "HIPPIES".
The download file contains three top level folders, "Observation", "PTT" and "Trawl".
Data formats include shapefiles, csv files and text files.
Described species are:
Penguins (King and Macaroni)
Albatrosses (Black browed and Sooty)
Fur Seals

Aurora Australis Voyage 3 2010/11 Track and Underway Data

On every voyage of the Aurora Australis, approximately 50 onboard sensors collect data on average every 10 seconds.  These data are known as the underway datasets.  The type of data collected include water and air temperature, wind speeds, ship speed and location, humidity, fluorescence, salinity and so on.  For the full list of available data types, see the website.
These data are broadcast "live" (every 30 minutes) back to Australia and are available via the Australian Oceanographic Data Centre's portal (see the provided link).  Once the ship returns to port, the data are then transferred to Australian Antarctic Division servers where they are then made available via the Marine Science Data Search system (see the provided URL).
This dataset contains the underway data collected during Voyage 3 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2010/11 season.
Voyage Objectives: Mawson Resupply, Davis light essential Cargo deployment.

Oblique aerial photography of Adelie penguin breeding populations in East Antarctica - 2009-2017 data

This dataset comprises oblique aerial photographs of multiple Adelie penguin breeding sites in East Antarctica. The photographs were taken using hand-held digital cameras from fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters used by the Australian Antarctic Program. The aircraft flew at or above the minimum wildlife approach altitude of 750 m with a horizontal offset distance from the site of approximately 500-600m.  The date and exact location of the aircraft when each photo was taken is embedded in the EXIF data of each photo. All photographs that were taken are included despite varying image quality due to environmental conditions, camera type and altitude.
Generally an attempt was made to photograph the entire breeding site (usually an island, occasionally an outcrop of continental rock) with a series of zoomed, overlapping photos. Sometimes this was not possible when the site was large, and in these cases the overlapping photos covered the locations where colonies were known to exist from previous survey work. In some cases a site was over-flown at an altitude of 1200m so that a single photo of the entire site could be taken. These photos are useful in piecing together the detailed photos.
The database of potential Adelie penguin breeding habitat in Southwell et al. (2016a) was used to associate photos to a particular breeding site and structure how the photos are stored. The breeding site database has a unique identifying code of every site of potential breeding habitat in East Antarctica, and the sites are aggregated into sub-groups and then groups. The file structure in which the photos are stored has a combination of ‘group’ and ‘split-year breeding season’ at the top level (eg VES 2015-16 contains all photos in group VES (Vestfold Hills and islands) taken in the 2015-16 breeding season). Within each group-year folder are sub-folders for each breeding site where photos were taken (eg IS_72276 is Gardner Island in the VES group). If an overview photo was taken there are separate sub-folders for overview and detailed photos in the site sub-folder.
These data also superseded an earlier dataset of 2009-2016 data - https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/AAS_4088_Adelie_oblique_photos
