The data were obtained as part of a time series study of Eddy "J" in the Tasman Sea off the New South Wales Coast in May 1980. At this time the eddy was centred on approximately 38 deg 30 min S and 150 deg 50 min E. Stations inside and outside the eddy were sampled for hydrology/nutrients, phytoplankton fluorescence and particle size, zooplankton (including organic nitrogen), and midwater fishes using the RMT (rectangular midwater trawl) net. Underway data were also collected on surface salinity, night-time light intensity, in vivo fluorescence and particle size, and thermal structure of the water was investigated using XBTs. Within the eddy, the most abundant family of fishes in the midwater trawls was family Myctophidae (lanternfishes). Decapod crustacea, salps and squid were also enumerated. Catch data from the midwater trawls (20 operations) are currently held by the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre in Hobart. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[150.3, -39.2], [151.2, -39.2], [151.2, -37.8], [150.3, -37.8], [150.3, -39.2]]]} 150.3 151.2 -39.2 -37.8 cmar:CATCH_HEADER_AODN_VIEW documentDigital Catch data for Sprightly Voyage SP 07/80 WMS Data Link documentDigital Data available via Data Trawler HTML Documentation Link documentDigital This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License HTML
