Wave action in different intertidal zones on a rocky shore in Victoria
Wave action was measured on 10 sampling occasions from April to October 1987 in the high and low intertidal zones on a rocky shore in Western Port Bay, Victoria. Forty... -
Water Flow in Seagrass Ecosystems - Water Motion and Productivity
Field studies were conducted to investigate the effects of two levels of water velocity (exposure) on seagrass standing crop (biomass) and consequently community productivity.... -
WAMSI Node 4.2.1a - Bioregional level assessments based on fishery dependent and/or fishery independent data - Leschenault Estuary
The Leschenault Estuary was divided into four regions; the apex, upper, middle and lower regions. Within each region four sites were sampled seasonally (except the middle region... -

The role of copper in facilitating the invasion of sessile marine invertebrate communities by pests: effects of copper pulse frequency in established assemblages
Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species. Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage... -
The role of copper in facilitating the invasion of sessile marine invertebrate communities by pests: effects of copper pulse frequency in developing assemblages
Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species. Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage... -
The population dynamics of the gastropod Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head rocky shore in Victoria
