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

Gross body measurements of fish length (cm), weight (g), and sex (M/F). Fish were collected on line and in box traps at Brown Bay, Shannon Bay, near Wilkes Station, O'Brien Bay and Sparkes Bay. Sex was determined after dissection for other analyses.

Purpose

These measurements were collected as part of a multiple lines of evidence assessing station derived contamination impact.

Quality

Note from the AADC, 2018-08-02:

The original datasheet was reformatted to fit IPT Biodiversity.AQ standard. The new datasheet provides the dataset ID, record number, event date, decimal latitude, decimal longitude, locality, continent, country, occurrence, and basis of record. The individuals measurements provided are: length (measurement unit in cm), and weight (measurement unit in grams). The taxonomical organisation is provided to the lowest taxonomical rank that could be determined, after matched in WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species).
