Description

Samples and data from the eel aggregation were collected opportunistically during three surveys that aimed primarily to map the seabed and associated benthic biodiversity on the continental slope off southern Tasmania in an area containing a cluster of small volcanic seamounts. Details of the three surveys are respectively at https://www.marine.csiro.au/data/trawler/survey_details.cfm?survey=SS200702 https://www.marine.csiro.au/data/trawler/survey_details.cfm?survey=IN2015_E02 and https://www.marine.csiro.au/data/trawler/survey_details.cfm?survey=IN2018_V06
