This cruise took place in waters off the Western Australian coast, Great Australian Bight, Tasmania and NSW coast during 10 January - 4 February 1980, under the leadership of G. Maxwell. Biological data collected on this cruise include fish and benthic fauna from trawls. Fish component identified and weighed. In addition, the sponge component was categorised into broad morphological groups and weighed. One hammerhead shark from longlining was obtained and some squid samples from jigging.
