Integrated Marine and Coastal Regionalisation of Australia (IMCRA) v4.0 - Provincial Bioregions
A regionalisation of Australian waters (excluding waters adjacent to the Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands, and waters adjacent to the Australian Antarctic Territory) derived from deep-water demersal fish assemblages. A total of 41 onshelf and offshelf provincial bioregions were identif...
