Period: 1985-03-23 00:00 to 1985-04-21 00:00 Local

Duration: 29.00 days

From: Hobart To: Hobart

Region: Tasmania, Bass Strait, Cascade Plateau

Ship: Soela [details]

Description: Soela cruise SO 2/85 was undertaken for a demersal and pelagic fish survey at Darcy's Patch off Maria Island and an exploratory fishing survey of the Cascade Plateau including hydrological sampling in both areas. Leg 1 cruise objectives were to carry out trawling for demersal and pelagic fish. To conduct sampling for ichthyoplankton, hydrology, and blue grenadier. To also carry out XBT transects at several sites around Tasmania. Leg 2 cruise objectives were to undertake an exploratory fishing survey and scientific investigation of the Cascade Plateau as follows: to chart the bathymetry, to determine the hydrology, to undertake assessments of algal biomass and species composition, to determine if area is suitable for demersal and pelagic trawling and to conduct trawling in order to: establish species composition of the fish faunas and assess fishery potential and also to deploy drop lines and a pelagic long line to assess fishery potential.
