Soviet Fishery Data (Australian Waters) - vessel Equator September-October 1971

This dataset comprises catch compositions and trawl locations from a cruise of the Russian fishery research vessel "Equator" carried out in Australian waters in September-October 1971, containing 62 demersal trawls from Bass Strait, Great Australian Bight, and W/NW West Australia coast. Most records include catch composition by species (presence/absence but not weight), also some data on length frequency, maturity and diet of commercially important species. The data were obtained by exchange with Soviet scientists in the mid 1990s and has had CSIRO species codes incorporated. The dataset is now in an Oracle database in Hobart, and analyses/summaries of the data are given in the accompanying report (see References). A MS Access version of the dataset has been compiled for use within the North West Shelf-JEMS study. This version is available on-line for researchers in the NWS-JEMS study (see data links). The data are also accessible to authorised users via CMR's "Data Trawler" application. A username and password is required to access this dataset.

本数据集涵盖1971年9至10月俄罗斯渔业研究船"赤道"号（Equator）在澳大利亚水域开展科考航次所获取的渔获组成与拖网作业站位数据，共包含来自巴斯海峡、大澳大利亚湾以及西澳大利亚州西部及西北沿岸的62组底拖网采样记录。多数记录包含按物种划分的渔获组成信息（仅记录物种存在/缺失状态，未提供重量数据），另有部分涉及商业性重要物种的体长频率、性腺成熟度与食性的相关数据。
该数据集于20世纪90年代中期通过与苏联科学家的学术交流获得，并已加入CSIRO（澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织）物种编码。目前本数据集存储于霍巴特的Oracle（甲骨文）数据库中，相关数据分析与汇总结果详见随附报告（参见参考文献）。
本数据集还编译了MS Access（微软Access）版本，以供西北大陆架-JEMS研究项目使用。该线上版本已面向NWS-JEMS研究项目的研究人员开放访问（参见数据链接）。此外，授权用户可通过CMR的"Data Trawler（数据拖网）"应用程序获取本数据集，访问该数据集需提供用户名与密码。
