This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Southern Surveyor cruise SS 01/93. This cruise took place in waters off northern Queensland and the Gulf of Carpentaria during 11 January - 12 February 1993, under the leadership of John Salini. Biological data collected on this cruise include fish species composition and abundance data from 27 demersal trawls and benthic samples from dredging. RoxAnne acoustic data and hydrology samples. Seabird data from Magra and Saunders Islands. Data from the environmentally friendly net (EFN) and Engels net trawling trials including some video photography and benthic samples from dredging. Tissue samples from 143 Lutjanus malabaricus and 24 L. sebae and 63 other lutjanids (3 species) for population genetics studies. Numerous specimens were retained for the I. S. R. Munro Fish collection in Hobart and photographic images of the very large specimens. Cephalopods samples which consisted mainly of the loliginid squids. Please note: This metadata record is a preliminary entry derived from information in the cruise plan and/or cruise report. Individual data types - which may span several cruises - will be indexed separately within this metadata system in due course. - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available (to CSIRO Staff) on-line.
