Bureau of Rural Sciences, Commercial Fisheries Presence, Australia, 2000-2002

Australian national commercial fisheries presence data summarized by half-degree square, year (2000-2002) and species name. Cells with less than 5 boats represented are excluded, as are commercial "taxa" which represent multiple or otherwise unidentified species. The dataset contains 60,445 records representing 390 separate species. The data were assembled by the former Bureau of Rural Sciences (BRS) which is now a part of the Australian Department of Agriculture.
Additional summary information including catch weights and gross value product per species per square per year is available (part of the former "Atlas of Australian Marine Fishing and Coastal Communities"), please contact the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources for access at http://www.agriculture.gov.au/general-inquiries

本数据集为按半度网格单元、年份（2000-2002年）及物种名称汇总的澳大利亚全国商业渔业作业存在性数据。作业船只数不足5艘的网格单元将被剔除，同时包含多个物种或未明确分类的商业分类群（taxa）也将被排除。本数据集共包含60445条记录，涵盖390个独立物种。该数据集由原农村科学局（Bureau of Rural Sciences, BRS）汇编，该局现已并入澳大利亚农业部门。另有附加汇总信息可供获取，包括各年份、各网格单元下各物种的捕捞重量与总产值（该信息为原《澳大利亚海洋捕捞与沿海社区图集》的组成部分），如需获取请联系澳大利亚农业与水资源部，访问网址：http://www.agriculture.gov.au/general-inquiries
