Focussed habitat sampling of eight macrohabitats (defined by bottom type, soft hard or rough) in three mesohabitats (key study areas presenting a variety of shelf habitats described by fishers) using gillnets from a commercial vessel.six of the macrohabitats were located in Disaster Bay off southern NSW, the other two were in Victorian waters off Pt Hicks. Gillnets were deployed and retrieved at dawn and dusk giving near equal day/night soaking times. 17 deployments yielded 5,456 fish weighing over 5.5 t. For full details see Williams and Bax (2001).
