Biology of Southern Ocean squid, ecological importance and potential commercial implications - a preliminary assessment

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 1242See the link below for public details on this project.---- Public Summary from Project ----This project will undertake preliminary assessment of Southern Ocean squid stocks. Squids will be collected by jigging and light trapping off research vessels in the region of Macquarie Island and other selected locations where the opportunity arises. Little is known about squid biology in the Pacific and Indian sectors of the Southern Ocean. This project will help to provide initial basic biological data on the squid species present.18 squid we caught on-board the Aurora Australis in November, 2001.All were caught 200-300 kms south of Tasmania, by a hand-held squid jig, at latitude 47 South at a depth of 1m.All samples caught on the 5/11/01 have the code QA/AA/80/01. There was no code written for others caught on 3/11/01.The fields in this dataset are:SpeciesDateMantle length (mm)Weight (g)SexMaturityGonad weight (g)See also the metadata record for ASAC project 1340 (ASAC_1340), Squid in the antarctic and subantarctic, their biology and ecology.

——项目公开摘要——
本项目将对南大洋鱿鱼种群开展初步评估。研究团队将搭乘研究船，在麦夸里岛周边海域及其他具备作业条件的选定海域，采用鱿鱼钓法（jigging）与灯光诱捕法（light trapping）采集鱿鱼样本。目前学界对南大洋太平洋与印度洋海域的鱿鱼生物学特征所知甚少，本项目将为探明该海域现有鱿鱼物种的基础生物学特征提供首批基础数据。
2001年11月，研究团队在南极光号（Aurora Australis）研究船上共采集到18尾鱿鱼样本。所有样本均于塔斯马尼亚以南200至300公里海域，通过手持鱿鱼钓具，在南纬47度、水深1米处捕获。2001年11月5日采集的所有样本编号均为QA/AA/80/01；2001年11月3日采集的样本未分配编号。
本数据集包含以下字段：物种、采集日期、外套膜长度（mm）、体重（g）、性别、成熟度、性腺重量（g）。
