This dataset describes data collected from 5/11/96 to 5/10/98 in the Huon Estuary, Tasmania at weekly or fortnightly time frames depending on algal bloom conditions. Data were collected at five of the biological station from the Huon Estuary Spatial Surveys (see separate MarLIN entry). The five stations were located at Hideaway, Kilalla, and Wheatley's Bays, Brabazon Park and Port Cygnet. At each sampling station a CTD was deployed and three niskin bottle samples were taken, one at each of the surface, middle and bottom water layers. Bottle samples have been analysed for salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrient and pigments. An integrated water sample (for algal presence data) and a phytoplankton net sample were also taken. During algal blooms spectral absorption was analysed and algal counts were calculated.
