This record is an overview entry for biological data collected on Southern Surveyor cruise SS 08/97. This cruise took place in the Torres Straits, Gulf of Carpentaria and Arafura Sea during 3 October - 3 November 1997, under the leadership of John Salini. Biological data collected on this cruise include vertebrate and invertebrate bycatch species from 9 prawn trawl areas, Roxann and EK500 acoustic data to help discriminate bottom environments, accompanied by dredge tows and abiotic SDL (submersible data logger) data. 21 sea snakes were also tested for post-trawl survival, and two live leiognathids (ponyfish) were chemically treated for otolith marking. Please note: This metadata record is a preliminary entry derived from information in the cruise plan and/or cruise report. Individual data types - which may span several cruises - will be indexed separately within this metadata system in due course.
