SO 3/83 (alternative identifier: SO198303)

Period: 1983-06-01 00:00 to 1983-07-01 00:00 Local

Duration: 30.00 days

Region: Australian North West Shelf

Ship: Soela [details]

Description: Soela cruise SO 3/83 was undertaken to carry out a sampling programme in the North West Shelf for demersal fish, larval fish, benthic fauna, bottom types, zooplankton, phytoplankton and hydrology. Leg 1 cruise objectives were to determine the demersal fish community composition; determine zooplankton abundances at alternate trawl sites and collect larval fish; to obtain photography of trawls to determine gear efficiency and bottom types and to collect isopods, and other crustaceans for the National Museum of Victoria. Leg 2 cruise objectives were to conduct an intensive diel fish feeding study; sampling for hydrology, particulate matter, bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton and larval fish; to conduct a 24 hour study of phytoplankton, bacteria and zooplankton production cycles; examine the tidal currents on water column mixing and fluorescence properties, and to obtain benthic organisms.
