CSIRO, Marine Data Warehouse Biology Records Pre-1998, Australia, 1978-1997

The CSIRO Marine Data Warehouse is a repository for biological and other marine survey data collected by CSIRO Australia. It contains field (observational) data from numerous research trawls and other fisheries-related surveys conducted in waters around Australia since the late 1970s. Associated data include species counts and/or weights in some but not all cases. This dataset includes all survey data loaded into the Warehouse prior April 2006 (with the exception of Soviet Fishery data); additional survey data loaded subsequently, plus a set of Soviet Fishery data acquired separately by CSIRO in the 1990s are identified as distinct datasets.
