Description: Cruise FR 05/95 was undertaken to investigate the mass mortality of pilchards (Sardinops neopilchardus) off the Western Australian west coast. The fish kill had commenced off the Eyre Peninsula (near Adelaide) in March 1995 and spread in both directions along the coastline, reaching Perth and Sydney in May. A National Task Force comprising scientists from five state fishery authorities, three CSIRO Divisions and several Universites were assembled. Franklin was in Fremantle as the 'kill front' passed and was available for two and a half days to coordinate physical and biological oceanographic data acquisition from the vicinity of the fish kills. No obvious explanation of the fish kill was forthcoming on this cruise. Data and samples were collected for on board and laboratory analyses.
