Note on data download/processing:
Data downloaded from Australian Microbiome Initiative via Bioplatforms Australia Data Portal on 17 June 2022. The search filter applied to download data from Bioplatforms Australia Data portal are stored in the Darwin Core property (identificationRemarks). Taxonomy is assigned according to the taxonomic database (SILVA 138) and method (Sklearn) which is stored in the Darwin Core Extension
DNA derived data property (otu_db). Prefix were removed from the taxonomic names as shown in the example (e.g. d__Bacteria to Bacteria). Scientific name is assigned to the valid name available from the highest taxonomic rank.
This collection is published as Darwin Core Occurrence, so the event level measurements need to be replicated for every occurrence. Instead of data replication, the event level eMoF data are made available separately at https://www.marine.csiro.au/data/services/obisau/emof_export.cfm?ipt_resource=bioplatforms_mm_ss2012_t07

Temporal coverage: 1993/1993

Original provider:
National Marine Mammal Laboratory

Dataset credits:
National Marine Mammal Laboratory

Abstract:
From 13 July to 24 August, 1993, a part of a larger study, waters off the Alaskan Peninsula were surveyed for killer whales (<i>Orcinus orca</i>) from the NOAA Glorita using line-transect methodology. To provide adequate coverage throughout the area, the study was limited to areas of known killer whale concentrations. The vessel was 44.8 m (147 ft) long and had a bridge height of 8.8 m (29 feet).

Purpose:
The objectives of this study were as follows: 
1) Develop a photographic identification catalogue of each killer whale encountered, and its pod, to determine pod identity, distribution, and movements relative to annual survey effort, 
2) Obtain minimum population estimated of killer whales in the southeastern Bering Sea, central/eastern Aleutian Islands, western Gulf of Alaska (including Prince William Sound), and southeastern Alaska, and 
3) Establish baseline data for detecting annual changes in abundance.

Supplemental information:
This dataset and associated effort data were updated on September 8, 2005. Those who downloaded them before that date should renew them.

Spotted Handfish (Brachionichthys hirsutus) - GPS Underwater Visual Census - 2014-2018 repeated population surveys

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2014/2018

Dive surveys were conducted in 2014 and the same sites resurveyed annually until 2018, to establish a baseline and monitor the status of the critically endangered spotted handfish (Brachionichthys hirsutus) population. This dataset is a summary of all surveys season 2014 to 2018 in which the 11 sites across the Derwent Estuary and D'Entrecasteaux Channel were assessed. The data describes the search effort (transect length, swathed area) and counts of handfish observed on each transect, including size measurements (total length) and depth records for each sighted fish.
Note that the specific latitude and longitude of individual fish have been redacted due to the vulnerable status of the species. Contact the point of contact listed in this record for more information.
Seabird observations, Chagos Archipelago, Indian Ocean (2012-2016)

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2012/2016

Seabird transects (n = 317) were conducted from the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) patrol vessel. The sampling was primarily designed to target focal sites that were typical pelagic habitats within the MPA, such as shallow seamounts (&lt;70 m), deep banks (ca. 400 m), deep seamounts (&lt;900 m), and deep basins (&lt;2,000 m). The survey ran from 2012 to 2016 between November and April, to overlap with the moderate phase of the monsoon. This period generally coincides with peak seabird breeding activity in the Chagos Archipelago.

<a href="http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/">Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT)</a>


Abstract:
Turtles are an important component of the ecosystem, and may serve as a key biological indicator of the health of their environments. They are constantly impacted by a variety of both natural and anthropogenic factors.Satellite telemetry is a powerful tool for examining short- and long-term movements of these protected species and enhancing conservation and management efforts. These observations will allow us to examine how much time these turtles actually spend in the Mississippi Sound and what microhabitats they utilize. The use of satellite tags on recently rehabilitated and released sea turtles will increase our knowledge about the daily activities and habitat fidelity of these animals.
