Biodiversity in western Australia’s deep sea
Alan Williams, July 2009
Some of the organisms captured in CSIRO’s 2005 Voyage of Discovery. Samples and data from this survey have been used to test provincial bioregionalisations based on fish.
The data were also re-analysed using new techniques developed in the Marine Biodiversity Hub and are now being used by the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts in their regional marine planning.
