Map of zooplankton biomass in Australian waters. Data collected from oceanographic surveys conducted between 1959 and 1964 onboard the vessels "Gascoyne" and "Diamantina" using a Clarke-Bumpus Oblique Haul, with zooplankton biomass expressed in milligrams per cubic metre. These maps have 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.
