Aquafin CRC Salmon Project - Process Study 1- Microheterotrophic Grazing Experiment - Huon Estuary - April 2005

The Aquafin CRC Salmon Project is being undertaken by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) and Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI). Process Study 1 was undertaken between 12-14 April 2005 in the Huon Estuary offshore from Hideaway Bay. Prior to each microheterotroph grazing experiment, a CTD cast was performed at site P3 using the Seaboard 4550 to determine the depth of the fluorescence maximum. Water for a grazing experiment was collected from a depth of 20m (12 April) and 5m (13 April).
