Surveys of Macrocystis pyrifera (giant kelp) on the East Coast of Tasmania, Australia (1954 1999)

Surveys were conducted as part of an assessment of the Macrocystis pyrifera beds on the east coast of Tasmania by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industry Research Organisation (CSIRO) Division of Fisheries seaweed program in the early 1950's. Surveys were conducted because of interest in the Macrocystis beds as a source of alginates. Surveys were done between 1950 and mid 1953. The paper was published in 1954. In 1965, there was a survey of the extent of Macrocystis pyrifera beds in the vicinity of the Mercury Passage, east coast of Tasmania. The 1986 survey was used to establish stock levels. In 1999, aerial s surveys were conducted to establish Macrocystis bed boundaries. The data has been downloaded from https://listdata.thelist.tas.gov.au/opendata/ on March 2020 There are 5 datasets titled Macrocystis pyrifera survey.

20世纪50年代初，英联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）渔业部门海藻研究项目为评估塔斯马尼亚东海岸的巨藻（Macrocystis pyrifera）床开展了相关调查。本次调查的开展源于研究团队关注到巨藻床可作为褐藻胶的原料来源，调查时段为1950年至1953年中期，相关研究论文于1954年发表。1965年，研究人员针对塔斯马尼亚东海岸水星航道（Mercury Passage）周边海域的巨藻床分布范围开展了一次调查。1986年的调查数据被用于确定巨藻种群的存量水平。1999年，研究人员通过航空调查划定了巨藻床的分布边界。本数据集于2020年3月从https://listdata.thelist.tas.gov.au/opendata/ 网站下载获取，共包含5份命名为“巨藻（Macrocystis pyrifera）调查”的数据集。
