[This data has been superseded by a synthesised global dataset which includes additional ecological data contributed by non-RLS entities (National Reef Monitoring Network).... -
Reefs on the Australian Continental Shelf (NESP MB D3)
Rocky reefs form an important habitat on the continental shelf and one subject to disproportionate fishing pressure given the high productivity of this habitat relative to... -
Abundance and distribution of coastal, inshore zooplankton in the Huon...
Mesozooplankton community composition and structure were examined throughout the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Huon Estuary and North West Bay, Tasmania, from November 2004 to... -
Maria Island Secondary Productivity Data
Data were collected from 28 artificial reefs varying in size and supporting different densities of transplanted kelp (Ecklonia radiata). We used rope fibre habitats (RFHs)... -
Video surveys of long spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii) barrens...
The spatial extent of C. rodgersii "barrens" was estimated by surveying rocky reef habitat with a towed underwater video system. Sampling took place at 13 regions along the east... -
Zooplanktonic communities of south east Tasmania 2000-2001
Zooplankton samples were collected at two sites in south eastern Tasmania, between the years 2000 and 2001 using two types of plankton net. Samples were collected using... -
