Prawn Larval Species Distribution in Albatross Bay

Between March 1986 and April 1992, monthly cruises were carried out at twenty-one stations in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria. Prawn larval densities were measured and salinity-temperature profiles taken. Prawn larval density from stepped oblique bottom to surface plankton tows. Net sizes were 142 or 140m mesh, 250micron mesh with a 0.5x0.5 square frame, stepped-oblique tow. In this dataset Penaid prawn counts were recorded to species level for the genus Penaeus only, for larval stages Mysis 1-3. (Identification was not possible for other larval stages).

1986年3月至1992年4月，研究团队于卡奔塔利亚湾（Gulf of Carpentaria）阿尔巴特罗斯湾（Albatross Bay）的21个站位开展月度巡航调查。本次调查测定了对虾幼体密度，并获取了盐度-温度剖面数据。对虾幼体密度通过阶梯式斜向底栖至表层浮游生物拖网测得。所用网具参数如下：网目规格为142目或140目，网孔尺寸250微米，搭配0.5×0.5平方米的方形框架，采用阶梯斜向拖曳方式。本数据集仅统计了对虾类（Penaid prawn）中新对虾属（Penaeus）下物种水平的幼体计数，且仅涵盖糠虾期1-3期（Mysis 1-3）的幼体；其余幼体阶段无法完成物种鉴定。
