The quality and breadth of his surveying and data-gathering in adverse conditions paved the way for the establishment of a productive and profitable prawn industry in the region. His research was published in a three part atlas of operational, environmental and biological data and a report. He also established the Australian National Fish Collection at the CSIRO and is the author of The Fishes of New Guinea and the Handbook of Australian Fishes.

Quote from 'CSIRO at Sea' page 86:

'The "Fairwind" worked in New Guinea water in 1948, 1949 and 1950, while "Warren" and "Stanley Fowler" were working North Australian waters. She was a general purpose vessel (G.P.V.) acquired from the Navy after the war. One of the 'Fairwind" cruise leaders was Ian Munro, who used the opportunity to build up the CSIRO fish collection.'
