The ocean is a crucial resource to Australia. This work will open a new area of research within Australian habitats, which will improve our understanding of how the base of the ocean food web functions, and build a new perspective from which to look at the microscopic plankton that influence fisheries yield and species invasions. Appreciating how microbial communities respond to environmental perturbations will provide an improved vantage-point to predict future changes to the Australian marine environment. Leading international scientists will provide conceptual and technical expertise in an Australian based project, applying novel analytical tools not currently employed within oceanographic surveys within Australian waters.

海洋是澳大利亚的重要资源。这项工作将在澳大利亚栖息地内开辟一个新的研究领域，这将提高我们对海洋食物网基础如何运作的理解，并建立一个新的视角来观察影响渔业产量和物种入侵的微观浮游生物。了解微生物群落如何应对环境扰动将为预测澳大利亚海洋环境的未来变化提供更好的有利条件。国际领先的科学家将在澳大利亚的一个项目中提供概念和技术专业知识，应用澳大利亚水域海洋学调查中目前未使用的新颖分析工具。
