Between March 1986 and April 1992, monthly cruises were carried out at 21 stations in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria. Prawn larval densities were measured and salinity-temperature profiles taken. Prawn larval density from stepped oblique bottom to surface plankton tows. Net sizes were 142 or 140 m mesh, 250 micron mesh with a 0.5 x 0.5 metre square frame, stepped-oblique tow. In this dataset Penaid prawn counts were recorded to genus level for all larval stages.
