Description: The data set provides outlines for the maximum extent of the benthic Biomes of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone for regions beyond the shelf break not including the offshore island territories and Australian Antarctic Territory. These data were compiled in 2004 as part of the draft national benthic marine bioregionalisation which is designed to provide improved knowledge of Australia's seabed. The Biomes represent bio-geographic regions that capture narrow spatial distributions and depth ranges in benthic faunal distributions, based on the assumption that the demersal fish distributions are a surrogate of marine faunal distributions. The narrow spatial distributions were revealed as strong patterns of bathymetric zoning for key indicator species on the upper to mid slope. Due to available data, biomes were only defined in water depths of less than 1,130 m. A total of three biomes were defined: upper slope, mid-upper slope, and mid slope. Each of the biomes is separated by a biotone. The Biomes data set includes the names of units in the attribute table as well as the area and perimeter of each unit.The data contained in this service is not authoritative and has not been updated since 2006. Users will need to contact the agency responsible for the data to check current validity and spatial precision.
