This record describes stable isotope data from tissues of fish, invertebrates, phytoplankton, and zooplankton collected as part of the 1993-1996 South East Fishery Ecosystem Study undertaken by CSIRO Division of Fisheries. Demersal trawls (33 per survey), benthic sled tows (for invertebrates), zooplankton and phytoplankton samples were carried out at a range of depths (25m to 250m) on seven transects across the continental shelf in eastern Bass Strait, south-west Victoria, and south-west NSW waters. Data were collected in July 1993 (cruise SS 05/93), August 1994 (cruise SS 05/94), April 1996 (cruise SS 02/96) and November 1996 (cruise SS 06/96). Tissue samples were collected from a wide range of demersal fish, benthic invertebrates, phytoplankton and zooplankton, for laboratory analyses of stable isotopes. This information is being used to indicate the relative trophic levels of each organism and therefore its position in the community food web.
