This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Southern Surveyor cruise SS 05/94. This cruise took place in waters off the west and east coasts of Tasmania, south-eastern Victoria and southern New South Wales during 18 August - 22 September 1994, under the leadership of Tony Koslow and Alan Williams. Biological data collected on this cruise include blue grenadier specimens from trawl sampling, eggs from plankton net sampling and acoustic measurements of grenadier aggregations. A diverse range of fish and benthic invertebrate samples. Tissue samples from a diverse range of fish, plankton and seafloor invertebrates for stable isotope analysis. Stomach contents from a diverse range of commercial and other abundant fish species for dietary analysis. Zooplankton samples. Water and sediment samples for analysis of phytoplankton pigments and breakdown products. Video and 35 mm camera photography, acoustic data (RoxAnn and EK500), biological and sediment samples to identify and determine the distribution of seafloor habitat types. Samples from demersal trawls and photographic images of the seafloor off Maria Island to study the abundance and pattern of distribution of brittle stars. Specimens for the "Handbook of Australian Seafood" projects including samples for fillet analysis, protein fingerprinting and genetic analysis. A collection of specimens for collaborative studies and for other institutions and for stock assessment. Please note: This metadata record is a preliminary entry derived from information in the cruise plan and/or cruise report. Individual data types - which may span several cruises - will be indexed separately within this metadata system in due course. - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available (to CSIRO Staff) on-line.
