Map: Chlorophyll a concentrations in Albatross Bay

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This map shows chlorophyll a concentrations in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria. Phytoplankton pigment composition (chlorophyll a concentration) was measured in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia. Four sites were sampled over six years between August 1986 and April 1992. In the last two years samples were taken at the bottom of the water column in addition to mid-depth. This map has been produced by CSIRO for the National Oceans Office, as part of an ongoing commitment to natural resource planning and management through the 'National Marine Bioregionalisation' project.
