Sampling the abyss: latitudinal biodiversity patterns along the base of Australia's eastern continental margin - RV Investigator voyage IN2017_V03, Australia (2017)

The primary objective of this voyage IN2017_V03 was to sample the biodiversity of lower bathyal (2500 m) and abyssal (4000 m) seafloor habitats off south-eastern Australia, and in particular deep-water ecosystems of seven Commonwealth marine reserves. Data has been sourced from Atlas of Living Australia.
