The Provincial Bioregions were defined by the regional structure in demersal fishes as represented by a one-dimensional made up of 281 nodes that correspond to the 500 m isobath around the Australian mainland. The analysis of the demersal fish data was undertaken by CSIRO Marine Research (Last et al., 2004). None of the offshore island territories were included in this assessment and each island territory was considered a separate bioregion. The boundaries of the Provincial Bioregions below 2,000 m water depth were defined solely by the geomorphic features, which were defined by the International Hydrographic Office (IHO, 2002), and were identified using a 250 m spatial resolution bathymetry model with reference to previously published geological studies. In the analysis of the demersal fish data, the boundaries between the Provincial Bioregions were defined by a Jaccard Analysis of the distributions. The final boundaries were drawn by eye around the boundaries of geomorphic features by a panel of scientific experts at a series of workshops with reference to previous studies. When completed, the boundaries defined the separate polygons and they were stored as an ArcGIS shape file. Care was taken to include as much biological information as possible when positioning the boundaries, particularly in shallow water (500 m).
