CSIRO, Fish Survey, Albatross Bay - Gulf of Capentaria, North Australia, 1986-1988

Seven, four- to five-day cruises were undertaken using the vessel "Jacqueline D" in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria between August 1986 and November 1988, using a random stratified trawl survey to measure fish species composition and abundance. Four depth zones between 7 and 45 m were sampled during both day and night. Approx. 890,000 fish of 237 species were collected, of which the bulk were made up of 25 species. The dominant families were Leignathidae, Haemulidae and Clupeidae, with Sciaenidae and Dasyatidae important at night. Leiognathus bindus was the most abundant species, while Caranx bucculentus was the most frequently caught (96% of all trawls). The suite of fishes was separately analysed for occurrence of prawn predators.
This data has been republished (2022-09-05 with additional details of each occurrence where they can be one of three types: catch composition (counts per taxa and optional aggregated weights by trawl event), catch measurements (length and/or weight) of individual taxa and/or catch specimens and their stored location. The occurrence type is recorded in occurrenceremarks.

1986年8月至1988年11月间，研究团队于卡奔塔利亚湾（Gulf of Carpentaria）信天翁湾（Albatross Bay）搭载"杰奎琳D号（Jacqueline D）"科考船，开展了7次为期4至5天的巡航调查。本次调查采用随机分层拖网采样法，旨在评估鱼类群落组成与物种丰度。

调查覆盖7至45米间的4个深度分层，同步开展日间与夜间采样作业。本次调查共采集到237个物种、总计约89万尾鱼类，其中25个物种构成了采集样本的主体。主要优势类群为银鲈科（Leignathidae）、石鲈科（Haemulidae）与鲱科（Clupeidae）；夜间采样中，石首鱼科（Sciaenidae）与魟科（Dasyatidae）的物种占比同样具有重要意义。短棘鲾（Leiognathus bindus）为丰度最高的物种，而颊凹鲹（Caranx bucculentus）则是捕获频次最高的物种，在全部拖网作业中有96%均捕获到该物种。

本次调查所获鱼类群落被单独开展分析，以识别其中虾类捕食者的出现情况。

该数据集于2022年9月5日重新发布，补充了每条采样记录的详细信息。采样记录可分为三类：1. 拖网渔获组成数据（含各分类群个体计数及按拖网事件汇总的可选重量数据）；2. 单个分类群的渔获测量数据（体长及/或体重）；3. 渔获标本及其存储位置信息。上述记录类型将在occurrenceremarks字段中注明。
