| FR 05/94 [details] |
G. Poore (Museum of Victoria) | Cruise FR 05/94 was undertaken to sample benthic fauna along a depth gradient (50-3000 m) and a longitudinal gradient (116 degrees E to 139 degrees E) on the southern Australian continental shelf and slope (VIC to WA) and to relate this to sedimentary regimes, comparing extensive biogenic calcareous sediments with terrigenous deposits from the Murray-Darling system. Also to collect sponges, tunicates and other sessile invertebrates for bioactive substances. Sampling methods included epibenthic sled, Smith and McIntyre grab, boxcorer, and beam trawl. Underway instrumentation recorded data during the cruise. Due to bad weather and loss of time benthic invertebrates were sampled from only two of the three transects planned; from Portland, Victoria and Victor Harbour, South Australia. Samples for foraminiferans and for bioactive chemicals, were not well served because of the weather. Samples and data were collected for on board and laboratory analysis. |
| FR 09/88 [details] |
G. Poore (Museum of Victoria) | Cruise FR 09/88 was undertaken for sampling of benthic, demersal and mesopelagic fauna from the continental slope of south eastern Australia off Nowra, Bass Strait and off Freycinet Peninsula, from a depth range of 400 m to 3000 m. Documenting the cruise on film was also conducted by Image Action Films. Survey methods included epibenthic sled, box corer, beam trawls, Isaacs-Kidd Midwater Trawls (IKMT) and underway instrumentation. Samples collected were to be sieved, sorted and studied and to be preserved for further taxonomic study. |
| FR 05/86 [details] |
G. Poore (Museum of Victoria) | Cruise FR5/86 was predominantly a benthic invertebrate biology sampling program confined to three major cross-shelf transects, one off Jervis Bay, one off Cape Howe, and one off Maria Island. A total of 49 samples were taken between 200 m and 2000 m, of which 24 were taken with an epibenthic sled, 6 with a try-net and 19 with a mid-water RMT net. Samples were processed on deck. Also conducted was the successful deployment of current meter moorings at two sites 400 km apart in the Tasman Sea and recording magnetometer packages at four sites across the continental slope off New South Wales. Near the end of the cruise two CTD casts were conducted, first cast went routinely the second did not. |
