Southern Surveyor Voyage SS 01/2000 Biological Data Overview

This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Southern Surveyor cruise SS 01/2000. This voyage took place off around the south-east coast of Australia including Victorian, Tasmanian and South Australian waters, in the areas of the south eastern "large marine domain" and the Great Australian Bight Marine Park, during April - May 2000, under the leadership of Rudy Kloser (legs 1 and 3) and Alan Williams (leg 2). Biological data collected on this cruise include fish trawls, benthic sled and video camera data, largely in association with ground truthing for swath mapping carried out on the same voyage. In addition, on leg 2, benthic invertebrates and demersal fishes were collected from the lower continental slope region (approx. depths between 1500 and 2000m) to enable the extension of biophysical regionalisations to a new depth, and on leg 3, collections were made to form a taxonomic inventory of demersal fishes and benthic invertebrates from the Great Australian Bight Marine Protected Area, in areas with contrasting histories of light vs. heavy trawling activity. Specimens were lodged with Australian museums but no considered effort has been made for further identification of these.

本条目为‘南方考察号’（Southern Surveyor）航次SS 01/2000所采集的生物数据概述。本次航次于2000年4月至5月期间开展，作业海域涵盖澳大利亚东南海岸周边水域，包括维多利亚州、塔斯马尼亚州与南澳大利亚州所辖海域，以及东南‘大型海洋域’与大澳大利亚湾海洋公园（Great Australian Bight Marine Park）所在区域。航次第一、第三航段由鲁迪·克洛泽（Rudy Kloser）负责，第二航段由艾伦·威廉姆斯（Alan Williams）主持。本航次采集的生物数据包含鱼类拖网、底栖撬式采样器（benthic sled）与摄像数据，多数用于同步开展的条带测图（swath mapping）实地验证（ground truthing）工作。此外，第二航段于大陆坡下部区域（水深约1500至2000米）采集底栖无脊椎动物与底层鱼类（demersal fishes），以将生物物理分区（biophysical regionalisations）拓展至新的深度区间；第三航段则在大澳大利亚湾海洋保护区（Great Australian Bight Marine Protected Area）内捕捞历史强度差异显著（轻捕捞与高强度捕捞区域）的海域采集样本，用于构建该区域底层鱼类与底栖无脊椎动物的分类名录（taxonomic inventory）。所有样本均已寄存于澳大利亚各博物馆，但目前尚未对这些样本开展系统性的进一步鉴定工作。
