Micronekton are small (~2-20 cm) free-swimming pelagic organisms. 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.
