ASAC_2377_data
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
These data are a csv extract from the Biodiversity Database of data recorded in the publication, "Hydroids of the BANZARE Antarctic expeditions 1929 - 1931". The csv contains 29 rows of data.
Taken from the referenced publication:
The BANZARE Expeditions (British, Australian, New Zealand, Antarctic Research Expeditions) 1929-1931 sampled the marine benthos in the Southern Ocean, at the Kerguelen Islands, Heard Island, Macquarie Island, and south-west of Tasmania and along the coast of the Australian Antarctic Territory. Forty six stations at depths of 2 - 640 m were occupied along the Australian Antarctic Territory coast. Eight species of Halecium including five new and Hydrodendron arboreum were found and recorded from eight stations.
Forty six stations were occupied along the Australian Antarctic Territory coast and samples collected using various trawls to depths of 640 m; some coastal collections were also made in shallow water 2 m deep. The hydroid collection was originally deposited in the British Museum, Natural History (BMNH), London. There, preserved material was sorted during the 1960s and microslide mounts prepared. A small amount of material left over from the earlier AAE (Australian Antarctic Expedition) 1911-1914 was also incorporated into the BANZARE collection as Station No. 1785. The entire BANZARE hydroid collection was sent to the National Museum of Victoria in Melbourne for identification.
