Description: Soela cruise SO 6/85 was undertaken for an exploratory survey of benthic crustaceans and fish of the upper Continental Slope in the area of the Saumarez, Marian and southern Queensland plateaux. Cruise aims were to collect benthic crustaceans and to record the length frequency and egg stage data for decapods showing potentially commercial abundances. Collect sediment and hydrological parameters at each station. To obtain bottom topography images for correlation with abundance of benthic crustacea. Compile photographic records of all common species of crustacea. Record presence/absence of fish species at selected stations and to collect representatives of the deep-water cephalopod fauna.
