Macquarie Harbour dissolved oxygen and temperature monitoring data from HOBO loggers (2017-2018)

Sustainable finfish aquaculture is dependent on a benthic environment that can assimilate and process farm particulate wastes. In Macquarie Harbour, bottom and mid water Dissolved Oxygen levels have reached very low levels, which is associated with an increase in the presence of bacterial mats and a significant decline in the abundance and diversity of benthic fauna. Dissolved Oxygen levels are a major determinant of the response of benthic communities in the harbour over timescales of months to years.This dataset consist of dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature data collected using HOBO Dissolved Oxygen loggers (U26-001) deployed at two locations in Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania under FRDC project 2016-067.可持续海水鱼类养殖依赖于可同化并处理养殖颗粒废弃物的底栖环境。在麦考瑞港（Macquarie Harbour），底层与中层水体的溶解氧水平已降至极低水平，这与细菌席的出现量增加以及底栖动物群落的丰度和多样性显著下降密切相关。在数月至数年的时间尺度上，溶解氧水平是决定该港底栖群落响应的主要因素。本数据集包含使用HOBO溶解氧记录仪（U26-001）采集的溶解氧（Dissolved Oxygen，DO）与温度数据，这些设备部署于塔斯马尼亚州麦考瑞港的两个点位，相关数据采集工作隶属于FRDC项目2016-067。
