These data sets describe the toxicity of lead, coppyer, zinc and cadmium spiked seawater to the juveniles of Abatus ingens and Abatus nimrodi. Metals were tested separately over exposure periods of 96 and 240 hours. The experimental endpoint was mortality as defined by cessation of observable movement. The coding system for the data files is J(juvenile)_An (Abatus nimrodi) or Ai (Abatus ingens) - Metal name_Dates of the experiment_ the period of the observation (96 hour or 240 hour). This work falls under the umbrella project ASAC_2201. The fields in this dataset are: Species Toxicant Date Replicate Concentration Moving pH Salinity Dissolved Oxygen

Oceanographic measurements were conducted from Tasmania to Antarctica, and then primarily in the Prydz Bay region, from January 1991 to March 1991. A total of 159 CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) vertical profile stations were taken, most to near bottom. Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), chlorofluorocarbons, helium, tritium, dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, carbon isotopes, dissolved organic carbon, dimethyl sulphide/dimethyl sulphoniopropionate, iodate/iodide, oxygen 18, primary productivity, and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. Unfortunately, only salinity data from the bottle samples is available due to poor data quality of the nutrient and dissolved oxygen data. CTD salinity data have been calibrated against bottle samples, and are accurate to approximately 0.005 (PSS78). Measurement and data processing techniques are described, and a summary of the data are presented in graphical and tabular form.

Oceanographic measurements were conducted north of Heard Island from August 1993 to October 1993. A total of 58 CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) vertical profile stations were taken, most to near bottom. Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), chlorofluorocarbons, helium, tritium, dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, carbon isotopes, dissolved organic carbon, dimethyl sulphide/dimethyl sulphoniopropionate, iodate/iodide, oxygen 18, primary productivity, and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. CTD salinity data have been calibrated against bottle samples. Upcast CTD burst data were no longer available, however comparison of bottle samples to CTD data from the equivalent downcast pressures gives a salinity accuracy of approximately 0.005 (PSS78). The bottle data file contains salinities and dissolved oxygens. Nutrient data exist only in files output from the laboratory analysis program 'DAPA', and are contained on floppy disks held by Andrew Forbes (CSIRO). Measurement and data processing techniques are described, and a summary of the data are presented in graphical and tabular form.

Oceanographic measurements were conducted along WOCE Southern Ocean meridional section SR3 between Tasmania and Antarctica from August to September 1996. A total of 71 CTD vertical profile stations were taken, most to near bottom. Over 1500 Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, carbon isotopes, primary productivity, and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. Measurement and data processing techniques are summarised, and a summary of the data are presented in graphical and tabular form.

Oceanographic measurements were conducted in the Subantarctic Zone south of Tasmania in March 1998. A total of 97 CTD vertical profiles were taken. Over 800 Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, carbon isotopes, dissolved organic carbon, N2O isotopes, pH, oxygen-18, barium, nitrogen-15, arsenic, ammonia, DMS/P, bacteria, silicon-32, particulate silicon, productivity, ETS, pigments, species counts, cytometry, particulate organic carbon and nitrogen, urea, copper and iron, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. Four sediment trap moorings were recovered, and two were redeployed.

Oceanographic measurements were conducted in the Southern Ocean around Heard and McDonald Islands, and in the Prydz Bay region, from January 1992 to March 1992. A total of 168 CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) vertical profile stations were taken, most to near bottom. Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), chlorofluorocarbons, helium, tritium, dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, carbon isotopes, dissolved organic carbon, dimethyl sulphide/dimethyl sulphoniopropionate, iodate/iodide, oxygen 18, primary productivity, and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. CTD salinity data have been calibrated against bottle samples, although the calibration quality varies over the cruise. CTD salinity accuracies can be summarised as follows: Stations 1-26: no bottle samples; conductivity calibration from later stations applied; accuracy therefore unknown. Stations 27-102: accuracy approximately 0.005 (PSS78). Stations 83-93: residuals a bit lower than surrounding stations: data uncertainty may be slightly increased. Stations 103-111: no bottle samples; conductivity calibration from surrounding stations applied; accuracy therefore unknown. Stations 112-168: significant increase in data scatter; accuracy approximately 0.010 (PSS78). The bottle data file contains salinities and nutrients. Dissolved oxygen data exist only as titration values recorded on the laboratory analysis sheets. The nutrient data show a fair amount of scatter, particularly when looking at the nitrate vs phosphate ratios. These data should be used with caution. Measurement and data processing techniques are described, and a summary of the data are presented in graphical and tabular form.

Oceanographic measurements were conducted on a cruise of the Aurora Australis to the Southern Ocean in April and May of 1998. A total of 97 CTD vertical profiles were taken. Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite, silicate), dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, carbon isotopes, dissolved organic carbon, N2O isotopes, pH, oxygen-18, barium, nitrogen-15, arsenic, ammonia, DMS/P, bacteria, silicon-32, particulate silicon, productivity, ETS, pigments, species counts, cytometry, particulate organic carbon and nitrogen, urea, copper and iron, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler.
