Bathyal and abyssal hydroids (Hydrozoa, Leptothecata) from southeastern Australia, RV Investigator voyage IN2017_V03 (2017)

A biological survey of the zone extending from Tasmania (40 S) to southern Queensland (25 S) and into the Coral Sea (23 S) was carried out along the south-eastern continental margin of Australia in 2017. Hydroids collected included three known species (Acryptolaria angulata, Cryptolarella abyssicola and Zygophylax concinna), three new species (Amphisbetia ramifera, Hebella macroplana and Lytocarpia parvispiralis) and two genera (Hebella and Halecium) not identified to species. C. abyssicola was the predominant species in terms of abundance and geographical range. The data has been acquired on the following RV Investigator voyage IN2017_V03 with links to additional metadata, datasets, events, deployments, publications etc. If this data has been used in any products, please acknowledge with the following: We acknowledge the use of the CSIRO Marine National Facility (https://ror.org/01mae9353) in undertaking this research.
