Heywood and Echuca Environmental Survey 2016, Western Australia (ARP7 Shoals)

Towed Video transects + Digital StillsCTDSBRUVS ARP7 Shoals Trip 6429To characterise the status of and natural temporal variability in sessile benthic biota and associated fish communities, across the plateau areas on the two named shoals in the Browse Basin closest to the Prelude/Ichthys operational wells. The project will provide a reference dataset, updated annually, for the status of key biodiversity indicators habitats at Echuca and Heywood Shoals.

本数据集来源于拖曳视频断面（Towed Video Transects）、静态数字摄影（Digital Stills）、温盐深测量（CTD，Conductivity Temperature Depth）与可控底栖远程水下视频系统（SBRUVS）采集的ARP7浅滩航次6429数据，旨在表征布劳斯盆地（Browse Basin）内两处最邻近普雷路德（Prelude）与伊奇斯（Ichthys）运营井场的命名浅滩海底高原区域中，固着底栖生物群落及其伴生鱼类群落的现状与自然时间变异性。本项目将构建每年更新的参考数据集，用于评估埃丘卡（Echuca）浅滩与海伍德（Heywood）浅滩的关键生物多样性指示生境现状。
