FR 05/94
(alternative identifier: FR199405)
- is a Marine National Facility voyage
Period: 1994-05-09 00:00 to 1994-05-27 00:00 Local
Duration: 18.00 days
From: Hobart To: Adelaide
Region: Bass Strait and Victorian/South Australian waters
Ship: Franklin [details]
Description: 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.
