Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) - Surveys of Octocoral communities, benthic cover and environmental factors on coral reefs of Torres Strait, Australia (1999)

All surveys were carried out by the principal researcher using Rapid Ecological Assessment. The dataset comprises 33 entries from 7 reef locations. Species recorded: octocorals (soft corals, gorgonians, sea fans, sea whips, sea pens, leather corals, arborescent octocorals, blue coral, stoloniferans), black and wire coral. Note that species are mostly at generic level. Site locations: Cumberland Passage, Dungeness, Tuesday Islet No. 4, Thursday, Warrior, Wednesday, Zuna. Taxa have been matched to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). This dataset was sourced on July 2018 from the original DiGIR dataset at OBIS and updated to reflect changes in the OBIS data requirements.

所有调查均由项目首席研究员采用快速生态评估（Rapid Ecological Assessment）方法开展。本数据集涵盖7个珊瑚礁点位的33条记录条目。记录的物类包括八放珊瑚（octocorals，涵盖软珊瑚、柳珊瑚、海扇、海鞭、海笔、革质珊瑚、树状八放珊瑚、蓝珊瑚、匍匐珊瑚类）以及黑珊瑚与铁丝珊瑚。需注意，本次记录的多数物种仅鉴定至属级水平。调查点位包括：坎伯兰水道（Cumberland Passage）、邓杰内斯（Dungeness）、星期二岛4号（Tuesday Islet No. 4）、星期四（Thursday）、沃里尔（Warrior）、星期三（Wednesday）、祖纳（Zuna）。所有分类单元均已与世界海洋物种登记册（World Register of Marine Species, WoRMS）完成匹配校准。本数据集于2018年7月从海洋生物地理信息系统（Ocean Biogeographic Information System, OBIS）的原始DiGIR数据集获取，并针对OBIS数据要求的更新内容进行了适配修正。
