Condition of rocky reef communities around Tasmania: fish surveys
The data is the quantitative abundance of fish derived from underwater visual census methods involving transect counts at rocky reef sites around Tasmania. This data forms part... -
Thermal performance curves for Lessonia corrugata
Kelps are in global decline due to climate change, including ocean warming. To identify vulnerable species, we need to identify their tolerances to increasing temperatures and... -
Zooplankton sampling in the coastal waters of south eastern Tasmania
Zooplankton was counted and identified from three sites over the 5-year period. The net used (200 m Bongo net) was designed to catch meso-zooplankton with an integrated... -
