Description: Cruise FR 03/98 was undertaken to study cool water carbonates in the eastern Great Australian Bight (Ceduna Terrace). Cruise objectives included to characterise the sedimentary facies present; analyse the sea-floor waters; document the nature of the morphology of the area, particularly the shelf margin; document the systematics of bryozoans, molluscs, foraminifers, corals, brachiopods, crustaceans and ostrocods present; document the distribution, food-source and other parameters governing the distribution of the king crab; determine environmental parameters controlling distribution and abundance of biota present and ascertain water current parameters across the shelf and down the slope margin. All objectives achieved to varying degrees. Survey methods included CTDs, pipe and epibenthic sled dredges, grabs, precision depth profiles, seafloor photography, real-time underwater video system, and underway instrumentation. Water, biota, rock, mud and sediment samples were collected for on board and laboratory analyses.
