This dataset contains acoustic survey and trawl data from Courageous Cruise 002, the first in a series of surveys for Jack mackerel (Trachurus declivis) and other demersal and pelagic fish. The survey was conducted in October 1975 off the New South Wales coast between Sydney and Tathra. Species recorded in trawls included jack mackerel, nannygai, ocean perch, ling, hake, and Endeavour dogfish. Acoustic data on diurnal behaviour of jack mackerel were obtained. Additional information regarding this dataset is contained in the cruise summary for this voyage. (derived from the cruise report) - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available (to CSIRO Staff) on-line.
