Australian Ocean Data Network hosts data quantifying motile cryptofauna in dead coral at Davies Reef. Samples were collected in November 1985 and August 1986 across seven reef locations, with counts and biomass measured for taxonomic groups like amphipods and polychaetes. The research aimed to assess variations in density, biomass, and grazing rates of cryptofauna across environmental zones and damselfish territories.
Scientific studies on the Barnicarndy 1 well core drilled in 2019 in the Canning Basin, Western Australia, recovered abundant organic-walled microfossils from 42 drill core samples. Seven core samples with the highest organic content were analyzed for molecular fossils and stable isotopes. This work was presented at the 2022 Australian Organic Geochemistry Conference.
103 participants from 69 Australian and international entities responded to a survey on multibeam echosounder (MBES) data needs. The report, produced by FrontierSI, Geoscience Australia, and Deakin University, identifies 30 specific survey purposes across 10 application areas. It was published via the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Tasmania's east coast features annotations of canopy-forming seaweed derived from towed underwater video. The data was collected to examine patch dynamics of seaweeds and urchin barrens and to validate identification from multibeam surveys. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
A 2020 desktop review synthesised peer-reviewed literature, research projects, and environmental impact assessments from 2013 to 2019 on four tropical inshore dolphin species in Australia. The project, conducted by the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, focused on the Australian humpback dolphin, snubfin dolphin, Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin, and spinner dolphin complex. It compiled information on species distribution, abundance, trends, habitat use, population structure, and anthropogenic threats to inform future conservation assessments.
Processed 16S rRNA sequencing and physicochemical data from a 300-day laboratory composting experiment. The dataset includes 125,972 high-quality sequencing reads resolved into 359 genera across five manure-amended treatments and control. It was generated by Onyedikachi Ubani and supports a manuscript submitted to Data in Brief.
A metric indicating the presence or absence of voluntary strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in fisheries. The data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-07-22 03:18:51.608410.
IND332 is a metric indicating the presence or absence of voluntary codes of practice and initiatives for waste management in fisheries, including macro-plastics and circularity practices. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-07-22. It shows whether a fishery participates in programs to reduce waste and improve recycling or reuse of materials.
IND543 - Healthcheck: Extent of potential fishing area under protection is a metric from the Australian Ocean Data Network. It measures the proportion of jurisdictional waters where a fishery operates that are under IUCN protection categories. The dataset was last updated on 2026-07-22.
Annual weight of all discarded and/or dead species (kg) from Australian fisheries. The data measures the total weight of fish and other marine species caught but returned to the water, providing an overall measure of fishery discarding. It is published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-07-22.
High-quality 2D seismic data, multibeam bathymetry, gravity, magnetic, and rock samples were acquired under Australian government programs from 2003 to 2011. Geoscience Australia analyzed these data for a geological and petroleum prospectivity assessment of the basins located in 1300-2500 m water depths. The interpretation improved the definition of depocentres, with the largest being approximately 150 km long and 40 km wide.
A metric measuring the ratio of actual fishing output to allowable fishing output, expressed as a percentage. The data likely contains indicators of how much of the available catch or effort allocation is being used in a fishery. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-07-22.
IND124 - Healthcheck: Protected species mortalities is a metric tracking the annual number of threatened, endangered, and protected species (TEPS) mortalities. The dataset measures animals that die each year as a result of fishing activities, helping assess a fishery's impact on vulnerable species. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-07-22.
South Australian state waters contain bathymetry and side scan sonar transects from various project locations. The data supports analysis of seabed topography and interpretation of benthic substrate and flora. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-07-22.
Marine plankton images collected in the East Australian Current System between October 9 and November 2, 2023. The dataset comprises high-resolution images from water samples processed with a PlanktoScope system, hosted on the EcoTaxa platform. Data collection was led by Chief Scientist Prof. Moninya Roughan and supported by the CSIRO Marine National Facility.
A metric dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network, last updated on 2026-07-22. It measures the potential impact of fishing gear on marine habitats such as the seafloor and reefs, with higher scores indicating greater potential effects on habitat quality.
1995-2010 water quality data from six sites on the Upper Halladale River in North Scotland, monitoring the effects of conifer afforestation. The dataset was collected by the Forestry Commission to assess the short, medium, and long-term impacts of forest planting and management on a sensitive salmon fishery. It includes a wide range of chemical and biological parameters from samples taken regularly over the study period.
Google Earth KMZ files contain movement data for hammerhead sharks tagged with Wildlife Computers miniPAT archival and SPOT6 tags. The data includes Maximum Extent of Location Estimate (MELE) polygons, which enclose all position estimates at a 100 km error level. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this data, which was last updated on 2026-07-22.
Australian Ocean Data Network provides a metric indicating the presence or absence of laws protecting the welfare of fishery target species during harvest and handling. The dataset likely contains binary or categorical assessments for different fishery jurisdictions within Australia. It was last updated on 2026-07-22.
A metric measuring the proportion of jurisdictional waters designated for commercial fishing activities in Australia. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-07-22. It likely contains geospatial data on fishery management zones.
