This dataset contains the results of a survey of Tin Can Inlet and Great Sandy Strait, Hervey Bay (adjacent to Fraser Island), Queensland. Data on distribution and abundance of seagrasses, mangroves, juvenile prawns, and certain species of teleosts, as well as hydrological information were obtained in July and December 1973. Beach seine and beam trawls surveys were conducted and taxa identified comprised of 7 fish species and 5 prawn species. Seagrass and mangrove surveys were mapped from aerial photography and corrected after detailed transects. Quadrat sampling was conducted and taxa identified 6 species of seagrass and 8 species of mangrove. The associated commercial fishery species were also investigated. Results are listed in the documentation. This data has been compared with data from earlier studies of Moreton Bay.
