The Chatham Islands 1954 Expedition was organised and led by Prof. G. A. Knox of the Zoology Department of Canterbury University. The expedition was planned to explore the distribution of benthic and pelagic animals between the New Zealand coast and the Chatham Islands over the Chatham Rise, and to investigate the faunal affinities of the Chatham group, which lies in the Sub-tropical Convergence zone.
Occurrences of Demonspongiae sponges, Keratosa sponges, Bopyridae isopods, Serolidae isopods, and Hydroida are listed in this dataset.
