Otoliths and fish stomachs from selected species (Saurida undosquamis, Nemipterus furcosus, Lethrinus choerorynchus and Lutjanus sebae) for ageing and dietary studies. Photography of demersal habitats for 85 of the 105 trawls. Photography of the habitat in the 5 n mile radius area around the North Rankin drilling platform. Catch rates of fish in the fish traps and photography of fish behaviour in and out at the entrance of the traps.(derived from the cruise report) - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available (to CSIRO Staff) on-line.
