[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Surveys of inshore fish catches, fish diets, and habitat and abiotic
factors were carried out off the coast of Albatross Bay, south of the
Embley River mouth, in 1991 and 1992. This metadata record is sourced
from 'MarLIN', the CSIRO Marine Laboratories Information Network.

Information was obtained from
http://www.marine.csiro.au/marine/mcdd/data/CSIRODMR/CSIRODMR_datasets.html .
The originating project was the Tropical Fish Ecology Project: Gulf of
Carpenteria studies. The Tropical Fish Ecology project over this time
period carried out work on fish as peneid prawn predators in
Albatross Bay and the Embley Estuary, and as tiger prawn predators at
Groote Eylandt; fish surveys of the Gulf of Carpentaria; and the
biology of tuna baitfish in the Solomon Islands, Kiribati, and the
Maldives (work commissioned by ACIAR).
