Note: The format for each Geographic extent name is: Name - Identifier - Category - Jurisdiction (as appropriate)
Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):
- North bounding latitude: 26 00 00.0 S (-26.00)
- South bounding latitude: 38 30 00.0 S (-38.50)
- East bounding longitude: 141 00 00.0 E (141.00)
- West bounding longitude: 129 00 00.0 E (129.00)
Lineage:
General catch and effort data is available from 1983 - 1996. Research catch and effort data from 1996 - current.
Positional accuracy:
60' latitude longitude blocks for data pre 1996, 7' 30sec latitude longitude blocks for data post 1996 of Gulf St Vincent and Spencer Gulf.
Attribute accuracy:
Dependent on the accuracy of fisher data supplied.
Logical consistency:
Non applicable
Completeness:
4 - 6 week time lag from the end of the month in which capture took place to the time of data entry.
