HMAP Dataset 01: SE Australian Trawl Fishery I

On 28 November 1991, the New South Wales Department of Agriculture and Fisheries provided historical data relating to the South East Fishery (SEF) to the Bureau of Resource Sciences (BRS) in accordance with the Fishing Industry Research and Development Corporation (FIRDC)-funded ‘historic SET catch data’ project. The data were originally collected by CSIRO and handed over to NSW Fisheries when CSIRO ceased work in the 1960s on what was then known as the ‘South East Trawl Fishery’. These data cover the periods 1918-1923, 1937-1943 and 1952-1957. No documentation exists for these data except for a simple description of the data field names. This document describes the processing carried out, and the assumptions made, to convert the data into a format suitable for inclusion in the Australian Fishing Zone Information System (AFZIS). This format, in turn, was adapted to render the data compatible with the HMAP/OBIS schema.

1991年11月28日，新南威尔士州农业与渔业部（New South Wales Department of Agriculture and Fisheries）依据由渔业研究与发展公司（Fishing Industry Research and Development Corporation, FIRDC）资助的“历史性东南拖网捕捞数据”项目，向资源科学局（Bureau of Resource Sciences, BRS）移交了与东南渔场（South East Fishery, SEF）相关的历史数据集。该数据集最初由澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）采集，并在该组织于20世纪60年代停止当时被称为“东南拖网渔场”的相关作业后，移交至新南威尔士州渔业部门。此数据集涵盖1918年至1923年、1937年至1943年以及1952年至1957年三个时段，除数据字段名称的简要说明外，未留存任何其他相关文档资料。本文档详述了为将该数据集转换为可纳入澳大利亚捕鱼区信息系统（Australian Fishing Zone Information System, AFZIS）的标准格式所开展的处理工作，以及所采用的各项假设前提。该格式后续经进一步适配，使数据集可兼容HMAP/海洋生物地理信息系统（Ocean Biogeographic Information System, OBIS）的数据架构。
