This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Soela cruise SO 4/84. This cruise took place in waters off the west and northwest coasts of Tasmania, southern New South Wales and the east coast of Tasmania during 12 August - 13 September 1984, under the leadership of Brian Griffiths and G.

Zooplankton samples to assess biomass and species composition. Phytoplankton samples for productivity measurements. Please note: This metadata record is a preliminary entry derived from information in the cruise plan and/or cruise report. Individual data types - which may span several cruises - will be indexed separately within this metadata system in due course. - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available (to CSIRO Staff) on-line.
