Lineage

Statement
Dataset Source: This layer was produced using towed video biotope survey locations across Victoria. Marine biotopes describe a community of species in a defined abiotic habitat. Biotopes embody the concept that biological communities are controlled by the physicochemical components of their habitat. As such, a biotope class has a fundamentally different descriptive structure to classes historically used. Biotopes comprise and shape biounits, the broader level of categorisation for the marine environment. Dataset Originality: Derived
