Updated 25/06/2025

This dataset comprises tuna catch, hydrological and plankton data collected on Derwent Hunter Voyage DH 3/56. The voyage took place off the New South Wales coast in September-October 1956. Catches of southern bluefin, albacore and big-eye tuna were recorded and compared with hydrological station data and distribution of zooplankton (21 copepod and 2 salp species). Sea surface dynamic heights were also measured at 7 stations. The hydrology data are published in CSIRO's "Oceanographical Station List" series, and the cruise track and the biological data are given in Division of Fisheries & Oceanography Report no. 5.
