This voyage, the Australian Antarctic Marine Biological Ecosystem Research 1986/1987 (AAMBER 86/87) cruise, operated between February and April 1987. During March, a survey of the krill population and zooplankton community was conducted, to determine the late summer distribution and abundance of krill, especially the larvae. This was done as a follow up to SIBEX II in mid-summer (Janurary) 1985. The major species investigated were Euphausia superba, Euphausia frigidia, Euphausia crystallorophias and Thysanoessa marcuria. Phytoplankton pigment analysis was also conducted at each CTD station site. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[60.0, -69.0], [90.0, -69.0], [90.0, -61.0], [60.0, -61.0], [60.0, -69.0]]]} 60.0 90.0 -69.0 -61.0 AMD AMD/AU CEOS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/INVERTEBRATES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/INVERTEBRATES > ARTHROPODS > CRUSTACEANS ECHO SOUNDERS GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR MIDWATER TRAWLS OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN SHIPS TRAWL GET DATA documentDigital Search the "RMT Trawl catch from the 1986/87 V7 AAMBER voyage" data collection HTML GET DATA documentDigital Search the "Historic krill sampling" data collection HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital See the AAMBER voyage page - contains links to data and more information HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION > GENERAL DOCUMENTATION documentDigital Download the catch composition log from the AAMBER voyage HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION > GENERAL DOCUMENTATION documentDigital Download the trawl log from the AAMBER voyage HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION > GENERAL DOCUMENTATION documentDigital Download the krill morphometrics log from the AAMBER voyage HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION > PUBLICATIONS documentDigital Download a copy of ANARE Research Notes 79 HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset HTML Creative Commons by Attribution logo documentDigital PNG
