Biological data collected on this cruise include distribution and abundance data of the phyllosoma larvae of Panulirus ornatus and zooplankton biomass. Larvae samples to study the behaviour of captured specimens. Preserved samples were also taken to study gut contents and genetic analyses. Please note: This metadata record is a preliminary entry derived from information in the cruise plan. The biological data collected on this cruise will be updated when cruise report is available. Individual data types - which may span several cruises - will be indexed separately within this metadata system in due course.
