| Summary: | Progress Code: onGoing Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: Data source: original field data. CTD Data: - No CTD data collected by the corer on this voyage; no water samples (Niskin Bottles) collected on these deployments. Corer Data: - Sediment samples analysis: Grain size & composition: SARDI; macrofauna: University of Adelaide (via SAMA) Hydrocarbon Data: - Surface water samples for PAH (hydrocarbon) analyses were sent to the National measurement Institute (NMI); Sediments for other chemical analyses went to CSIRO Energy (Kensington Perth) Samples distributed for analyses; results will be databased when received Calibration: SBE37IDO CTD is calibrated by CSIRO O&A Oceanographic Calibration Facility. Sizing Laser spacing adjusted by CSIRO O&A Instrument and Electronics.

The primary voyage objective was to deploy a specific sub-set of sampling equipment related to benthic biology, to establish processes, procedures and work flows in places such as the rear deck and sample processing laboratories. The primary equipment trialled was the MNF Deep Tow Camera, MNF Beam trawl, MNF Benthic (Sherman) Sled, and MNF Smith-McIntyre Grab, and the CSIRO-supplied Integrated Corer Platform (ICP), DeepBRUVs lander, and fishing dropline. The Integrated Coring Platform ( ICP) combines a number of technologies to maximise sampling in a single deployment. The ICP is built around a 6 barrel corer (KC, Denmark) and together with its central electronics module integrates cameras (cable, seafloor and corer ...
