Maps showing prawn larval distribution in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia for both the wet and dry seasons. Prawn larval density was recorded from stepped oblique bottom to surface plankton tows in Albatross Bay. Monthly cruises were carried out between March 1986 and April 1992, at twenty-one stations in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria. Prawn larval densities were measured and salinity-temperature profiles taken. These maps have been produced by CSIRO for the National Oceans Office, as part of an ongoing commitment to natural resource planning and management through the 'National Marine Bioregionalisation' project.
