Weipa Juvenile Prawn Data 1986-1992

Updated: 2004-11-03

Fortnightly sampling of juvenile prawns took place over six years (1986-1992). These samples were mainly taken from the Embley River and Albatross Bay, plus one set that were taken from the Wenlock and Archer Rivers. Samples were collected using beam trawls, plankton nets and set nets. Data recorded include species and length frequency. As part of this project, monthly temperature and salinity measurements were also taken from transects in the Embley River. These data are often referred to as the "Embley River Hydro Dataset".
