Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Data sampling is being conducted as part of a larger IMOS monitoring program. A.J.Richardson, A.W.Walne, A.W.G.John, T.D.Jonasa, .A.Lindley, D.W.Sims, D.Stevens, M.Witt. 2006. Using continuous plankton recorder data. Progress in Oceanography, Volume 68, Issue 1, Pages 27-74 Credit These data are from the CSIRO based Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder (AusCPR) survey and the UTAS / AAD based phytoplankton from the Southern Ocean Continuous Plankton Recorder (SOCPR) part of the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) - IMOS is a national collaborative research infrastructure, supported by the Australian Government.

Credit SOCPR - Southern Ocean Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey Credit AIMS - Australian Institute of Marine Science Credit GA - Geoscience Australia Credit Malaspina Cruise - March 2011 aboard vessel Hespérides Credit AAD - Australian Antarctic Division This dataset contains data collected by the Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder (AusCPR) survey and is funded by IMOS (Ships of Opportunity sub-facility) and CSIRO. The aims of the AusCPR survey are to: * map plankton biodiversity and distribution * develop the first long-term plankton baseline for Australian waters * document plankton changes in response to climate change * provide indices for fisheries management * detect harmful algal blooms * validate satellite remote sensing * initialise and test ecosystem models. The survey conducts repeat tows in the GBR, the East Australian Current and down to the Southern Ocean Time Series Mooring (SOTS). Other routes are conducted on an adhoc nature around Australia. The dataset also contains phytoplankton data from the UTAS / AAD led Southern Ocean CPR (SOCPR) project which is also funded by IMOS. The datasets available in this collection ...
