Soela Voyage SO 4/84 Biological Data Overview

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Soela cruise SO 4/84. This cruise took place in waters off the west and northwest coasts of Tasmania, southern New South Wales and the east coast of Tasmania during 12 August - 13 September 1984, under the leadership of Brian Griffiths and G. Harris. Biological data collected on this cruise include demersal, pelagic, larval and juvenile fish samples including 8 blue sharks (Prionace glauca) from seven sections (SW Cape, Hibbs Pyramid, Sandy Cape, King Island, Bass Strait, Flinders Island and Maria Island) around Tasmania and from five sections (Montagu Island, Jervis Bay, Port Hacking, Batemans Bay and Eden) off the NSW coast. Zooplankton samples to assess biomass and species composition. Phytoplankton samples for productivity measurements. Please note: This metadata record is a preliminary entry derived from information in the cruise plan and/or cruise report. Individual data types - which may span several cruises - will be indexed separately within this metadata system in due course. - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available (to CSIRO Staff) on-line. See the details link under "Stored Media List" (below).
