Port Curtis Integrated Monitoring Program data on bioaccumulation in oysters from The Narrows zone. Sensors collected this data over an 11-year period from September 2007 to November 2018. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which was last updated in June 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling temporal trends in contaminant uptake based on the 11-year monitoring period
- Assessing environmental health in a specific port zone based on oyster bioaccumulation data
- Calibrating sensor-based monitoring systems for aquatic ecosystems
Strengths
- Data collection spans over 11 years, from September 2007 to November 2018
- Focuses on a specific, defined geographic zone (The Narrows) within Port Curtis
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
