Larval fish assemblages in Coastal, Shelf and Offshore Waters of South-Western Australia

Created 25/06/2017

Updated 11/08/2023

Fish larvae were sampled along a five-station transect extending from inshore (18m depth) to offshore waters (1000m depth) of the coast of South-Western Australia (see thumbnail). 148 taxa from 93 teleost families were identified. The temporal and spatial structure of the fish assemblages were analysed in relation to the environmental variables. Assemblages were closely correlated to water masses (Capes and Leeuwin Current)
