Mapset: Non-Commercial Prawn Larval Distribution in Albatross Bay Wet and Dry Seasons

This mapset shows prawn larval distribution of non-commercial species pooled by species group and season for Albatross Bay. The map base data was produced by CMR stepped oblique bottom to surface plankton tows. Monthly cruises were carried out between March 1986 and April 1992, at twenty-one stations in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria. Prawn larval densities were measured and salinity-temperature profiles taken. These maps have been produced by CSIRO for the National Oceans Office, as part of an ongoing commitment to natural resource planning and management through the 'National Marine Bioregionalisation' project.
