This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Soela cruise SO 3/83. This cruise took place in the North West Shelf during 1 June - 1 July 1983, under the leadership of John Stevens and A. Heron. Biological data collected on this cruise include composition data of demersal fish community and selected fish specimens for growth, reproduction, mortality and diet studies. Specimens of Lutjanus vitta, L. sebae, L. erythropterus, L. quinquilineatus, L. malabaricus, L. lutjanus, L. russelli, Pterocaesio diagramma and four Saurida species for electrophoretic studies. 37 sharks and 3 Rachycentron canadus from longlining and 56 sharks from in the trawls. Zooplankton abundance data and larval fish samples. Photography of 58 trawls to determine gear efficiency and bottom types. Benthic invertebrate samples. Crustacean specimens for the National Museum of Victoria. Selected size classes of Saurida undosquamis, Nemipterus peronii, Nemipterus tambuloides and Lethrinus choerorynchus for diel fish feeding study. Phytoplankton and zooplankton species composition data.(derived from the cruise report) - Biological data is available via Data Trawler. - Biological Field Data Sheets recorded during this voyage have been scanned to PDF, and are available on-line at http://www.marine.csiro.au/datacentre/process/data_files/BioData/log_sheet_scans/BOX_AB2009_570/BOX_AB2009_570_index.htm
