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.

20世纪50年代初，澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industry Research Organisation，CSIRO）渔业部海藻研究项目，为评估塔斯马尼亚东海岸的巨藻（Macrocystis pyrifera）床开展了系列调查。本次调研缘起于学界对巨藻作为褐藻胶（alginates）原料的关注，调查周期为1950年至1953年中期，相关研究论文于1954年正式发表。1965年，研究团队针对塔斯马尼亚东海岸墨丘利航道（Mercury Passage）周边海域的巨藻床分布范围开展了专项调查。1986年的调查数据被用于核定巨藻种群储量。1999年，研究团队通过航空勘测确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/ 下载获取，共包含5份标题为"Macrocystis pyrifera survey"的数据集。
