SS 05/91 (alternative identifier: SS199105)
Period: 1991-11-18 00:00 to 1991-12-05 00:00 UTC
Duration: 17.00 days
From: Gove To: Cairns
Region: Gulf of Carpentaria and Great Barrier Reef
Ship: Southern Surveyor [details]
Description:
Southern Surveyor cruise SS 05/91 was undertaken to carry out a demersal fish survey, and benthic sampling in the areas of the northern Gulf of Carpentaria, including the fish management zone and the Great Barrier Reef protection zone.
Cruise objectives were to determine the species composition, distribution and abundance of demersal fish; collect samples for estimating fish population parameters; search for juvenile Lutjanus malabaricus in shallow areas on the eastern and western borders of the northern GOC; determine the benthic invertebrate fauna; collect hydrological data; collect sediment samples to determine the structure of the substrate and the composition of the infauna and to retain specimens for genetic studies of various species including Lutjanids, Monacanthids and squid.
