Article Synopsis
- The Australian Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) established a network of nine National Reference Stations (NRS) to enhance long-term observations in oceanography and ecosystems, especially in the Southern Hemisphere.
- This network builds upon historical water sampling that began in the 1940s and now uses advanced sensors to gather over 50 types of data, focusing on various oceanographic and biological parameters.
- The NRS facilitates consistent monitoring of ocean changes, helps study extreme events, and supports improved understanding of coastal ecosystems by providing extensive and publicly available data for long-term analysis.
We sampled the demersal fish community of the Bonney Canyon, South Australia at depths (100-1,500 m) and locations that are poorly known. Seventy-eight species of demersal fish were obtained from 12 depth-stratified trawls along, and to either side, of the central canyon axis. Distributional patterns in species richness and biomass were highly correlated.
