Sampling was only carried out in one year (1956). The merchant vessel sampling program was carried out at a time when the CSIRO Division of Fisheries had no dedicated ocean-going research vessel, as a means of acquiring information about offshore waters. In the volumes cited, similar data are also reported from the Tasman Sea, Coral Sea, and south-eastern Australian waters and Bass Strait. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[113.0, -36.0], [124.0, -36.0], [124.0, -21.0], [113.0, -21.0], [113.0, -36.0]]]} 113.0 124.0 -36.0 -21.0 Documentation Link documentDigital Full list of volumes/titles in CSIRO Oceanographical Station List series HTML
