Ecologically, they are the mediators between primary production to higher trophic orders, by providing the trophic link between the mesozooplankton and apex predators. Here we describe CSIRO’s micronekton data holdings collected from 1992 to 2018 from 13 surveys within six areas around southeastern Australia and the Southern and Indian Oceans. Surveys include depth stratified sampling, integrated sampling and some diurnal and seasonal replication. Comparisons between surveys were made by standardising data using a consistent method for volume filtered estimates. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[90.0, -60.0], [160.0, -60.0], [160.0, -20.0], [90.0, -20.0], [90.0, -60.0]]]} 90.0 160.0 -60.0 -20.0 CSIRO Data Access Portal documentDigital Find this resource at the DAP HTML CSIRO Micronekton Data documentDigital Micronekton Database: CSIRO 1992 to 2018 - CSIRO’s micronekton data holdings collected from 1992 to 2018 from 13 surveys within six areas around southeastern Australia and the Southern and Indian Oceans. The two data files are catch composition records and the shot data which lists the deployment details (net, depth etc.). It is linked to the catch data via voyage and Net_ID.
