Research Trawls were conducted on soft sediment communities. These trawls collect specimens and thus provide information on species diversity, abundance and provide specimens for biological studies on rare specimens. Specimens were processed and lodged by experts from the WA Museum and the WA Department of Fisheries. Study areas include Abrolhos Islands, Jurien Bay, Rottnest Island, Capes / Geographe Bay, Broke Inlet, Point Ann, Middle Island.
