AAP Project 4501: Mapping, predicting and monitoring ecological change in the Southern Ocean - HIMI Demersal Fish

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

The demersal fish assemblages on the Kerguelen Plateau has changed through time. This study aimed to detect, quantify, and map these changes. This study uses existing data collected from the Random Stratified Trawl Survey (RSTS) program administered through the Australian Antarctic Divisions (AAD). Raw RSTS data between 2000 and 2016 was extracted from the AAD database. The RSTS data contains information on the abundance (catch per unit effort, CPUE) on fish. RSTS data were paired with environmental data to be modelled. Hierarchical models of species communities (HMSC) were used to make inferences and predictions in the changes of demersal fish distribution. This record contains all the environmental data, R code, and outputs from this project. Raw RSTS data needs to be requested from the AAD under the authorization of AFMA.
