This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Soela cruise SO 4/86. This cruise took place in waters to the and east and north of Tasmania in two legs. Leg 1 from 8 - 17 July, and Leg 2 from 18 - 28 July 1986, under the leadership of F. R. Harden Jones. Aims:,br> Part 1 1. To carry out exploratory and experimental fishing in eastern and western waters of Tasmania, with particular reference to canyons, gullies, slopes, banks, sea mounts and depths of 1300 - 1500 m, making use of demersal and pelagic trawls, droplines and traps as in cruise 3/86. Particular attention will be given to handling of the catch. Part 2 1. To sample icthyop1ankton on the east coast of Tasmania and south east coast of New South Wales. 2. If blue grenadier larvae are found in the ichthyoplankton, to sample the adults of the species and to attempt artificial fertilisations. 3. To continue with the exploratory and experimental fishing studies on an opportunistic basis. 4. a. To collect water samples from approximately five stations. The samples collected will be from depths between the surface and 1000 meters and will be analysed for nutrients both total and dissolved forms. b. To collect water from a yet to be determined depth (less than 1000 meters) for storage experiments to be carried out over the following two years. c. To determine a horizontal nutrient profile in surface water from Storm Bay to Princess Wharf. The results to be correlated with underway temperature, salinity and fluorescence results.(derived from the cruise plan).(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.
