Prawn Larval Species Distribution in Albatross Bay

Created 24/06/2017

Updated 24/06/2017

Between March 1986 and April 1992, monthly cruises were carried out at twenty-one stations in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria. Prawn larval densities were measured and salinity-temperature profiles taken. Prawn larval density from stepped oblique bottom to surface plankton tows. Net sizes were 142 or 140m mesh, 250micron mesh with a 0.5x0.5 square frame, stepped-oblique tow. In this dataset Penaid prawn counts were recorded to species level for the genus Penaeus only, for larval stages Mysis 1-3. (Identification was not possible for other larval stages).
