South East Fishery (SEF) Ecosystem Study 1993-1996: Biological Hard Parts Samples

This record describes samples of biological hard parts (otoliths, vertebrae, and spines) collected as part of the 1993-1996 South East Fishery Ecosystem Study undertaken by CSIRO Division of Fisheries. Demersal trawls (33 per survey) were carried out at a range of depths (25m to 200m) on seven transects across the continental shelf in eastern Bass Strait, south-west Victoria, and south-west NSW waters. Data were collected in July 1993 (cruise SS 05/93), August 1994 (cruise SS 05/94), April 1996 (cruise SS 02/96) and November 1996 (cruise SS 06/96). Otoliths, vertebrae and spines of selected species were collected for use in age determinations.

本数据集记录了由澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）渔业部实施的1993-1996年东南渔业生态系统研究所采集的生物硬组织样本（耳石（otoliths）、脊椎骨（vertebrae）与棘刺（spines））。研究团队在巴斯海峡东部、维多利亚州西南部及新南威尔士州西南部水域的大陆架布设7条采样断面，开展底拖网（demersal trawls）采样，每次调查布设33个拖站点，采样水深范围为25米至200米。本次数据采集共涉及4个科考航次，分别为1993年7月（航次SS 05/93）、1994年8月（航次SS 05/94）、1996年4月（航次SS 02/96）及1996年11月（航次SS 06/96）。研究人员采集选定物种的耳石、脊椎骨与棘刺，用于鱼类年龄鉴定工作。
