WAMSI Node 3.2.1 - Diversity, abundance and habitat utilisation of sharks and rays - Offshore / longline survey data

Longline fishing was used to survey elasmobranchs outside the reef and was carried out from the Western Australia Fishery Department vessel RV ‘Naturaliste’. A total of 111 longline sets were made between Three Mile Camp towards the southern extremityof the Marine Park, to northeast of the Muiron Islands outside the northern limits of the Park; the distribution of these sets are shown in the thumbnail.Of these 111 sets, 17 were in sanctuary zones and 94 in non-sanctuary zones (in the thumbnail picture the hatched areas are sanctuary zones).

本研究采用延绳钓法对礁外区域的板鳃类（elasmobranchs）开展调查，作业由西澳大利亚州渔业部的研究船RV"Naturaliste"执行。共计布设111组延绳钓站位，作业范围覆盖从三英里营地向海洋公园南端延伸，直至该公园北部边界外缪伦群岛东北部的海域；这些站位的分布情况详见缩略图。在这111组站位中，17组位于禁捕保护区（sanctuary zones）内，剩余94组位于非禁捕区；缩略图中的阴影填充区域即为禁捕保护区。
