GBR - Basic water quality of Cockle Bay, Magnetic Island 2008-2011 (MTSRF 4.8.4s, JCU)

This is data associated with MTSRF Task 4.8.4s, a MTSRF supported PhD project titled /Biology and ecology of the blacktip reef shark/. As part of this project, basic water quality data were collected during shark tagging trips at the study site - Cockle Bay Reef at Magnetic Island. The meta data regarding these shark catch and tagging trips are recorded in a separate data file.Basic water quality of Cockle Bay was measured at weekly to monthly intervals with handheld instruments - a YSI water quality meter (temp, salinity, condutivity, dissolved oxygen), and secchi disk depth.Data units:* Temperature - Degrees celcuis* Salinity - ppt* Conductivity - ms* Dissolved oxygen - mg/l and % saturation* Secchi depth - cm

本数据集关联于MTSRF任务4.8.4s，该项目为MTSRF资助的题为《黑背礁鲨的生物学与生态学》的博士研究项目。作为该项目的组成部分，研究团队在研究地点——磁岛（Magnetic Island）的蛤礁湾暗礁（Cockle Bay Reef）开展鲨鱼标记科考活动时，采集了基础水质数据。有关本次鲨鱼捕获与标记科考活动的元数据，已单独存储于另一数据文件中。
研究团队以周度至月度的间隔，使用手持设备对蛤礁湾暗礁的基础水质开展监测：采用YSI水质分析仪（YSI water quality meter）测定温度、盐度、电导率与溶解氧，并通过塞氏盘（Secchi disk）测定透明度深度。

数据单位：
* 温度：摄氏度（℃）
* 盐度：ppt
* 电导率：ms
* 溶解氧：mg/L 与饱和度百分比
* 塞氏盘透明度深度：厘米（cm）
