This dataset is a digitised version of an updated map of phytoplankton bioregions around Australia prepared by Dr Gustaaf Hallegraeff, of the University of Tasmania for the National Oceans Office, as part of the 'National Marine Bioregionalisation' project. It is an updated version of the map previously published Jeffrey & Hallegraeff in 1991 and is based on the original data which was collected by plankton nets and water bottle sampling, using light and electron microscopy for species identification, augmented by additional phytoplankton data collected in the period 1990-2004.
