This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Southern Surveyor cruise SS 07/97. This cruise took place in the North West Shelf during 7 August - 1 September 1997, under the leadership of A. Whitelaw. Biological data collected on this cruise include numerous demersal fish and invertebrate samples; length-frequency data for 14 species of fish, and numerous otolith samples from four major species; additional fish specimens from two deeper water trawls (east of the Rowley Shoals), at 310 m and 105 m; photographs of fish and invertebrates for taxonomic studies and the "Handbook of Australian Seafood"; SDL (submersible data logger) data from 3 hydrographic transects and 35mm photography of 50% of the random trawl stations were obtained. 184 humpback whales, 24 unidentified cetaceans and about 175 dolphins were observed by Environment Australia personnel. 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.
