This cruise is the second in a series of six cruises, and follows the First International BIOMASS Experiment (FIBEX) in early 1981, documentation of which can be found in ANARE Research Notes 7, or by searching the metadata records for FIBEX. ADBEX I operated between November and December 1982, and studied the distribution and abundance of krill (Euphausia superba). Surveys of krill and other zooplankton were taken off Antarctica in the Australian sector (Mawson to Davis region) and Prydz Bay. The major species investigated were Euphausia superba, Euphausia frigidia, Euphausia crystallorophias and Thysanoessa marcuria. Other pteropods and cephalopods were also studied. Physical and chemical oceanography data were also obtained at some stations, as well as phytoplankton samples. Summary results are listed in the documentation. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[61.0, -70.0], [90.0, -70.0], [90.0, -59.0], [61.0, -59.0], [61.0, -70.0]]]} 61.0 90.0 -70.0 -59.0 ADBEX I AMD AMD/AU CEOS EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/INVERTEBRATES EARTH SCIENCE > BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION > ANIMALS/INVERTEBRATES > ARTHROPODS > CRUSTACEANS GEOGRAPHIC REGION > POLAR Nella Dan OCEAN > SOUTHERN OCEAN SHIPS Zooplankton VIEW RELATED INFORMATION > PUBLICATIONS documentDigital Download the ANARE Research Note HTML VIEW RELATED INFORMATION documentDigital Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset HTML Creative Commons by Attribution logo documentDigital PNG
