Population dynamics of the infaunal bivalve, Soletellina alba
School of Life and Environmental Sciences (LES), Deakin University
The population dynamics of the infaunal bivalve Soletellina alba were investigated at three sites situated in close proximity to the mouth of the Hopkins River estuary from 1997... -
Population dynamics of shrimp populations in Western Port Bay, Victoria
This study investigated seasonal variation in the abundances and size distribution of shrimp species in Western Port Bay, Victoria from July 1977 to January 1980. Four species,... -
Patterns of recruitment of epifaunal species at Portsea, Victoria.
College of Marine And Environmental Sciences (CMES), James Cook University (JCU)
This study investigated the temporal and spatial patterns of recruitment of epifaunal species at Portsea. Recruitment panels were immersed at depths of 1 - 2.2 metres for 10... -

College of Marine And Environmental Sciences (CMES), James Cook University (JCU)
Artificial substrata were used to investigate the patterns of establishment and change in the structure of a subtidal, marine epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria from... -
Patterns of development in the epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria.
College of Marine And Environmental Sciences (CMES), James Cook University (JCU)
This experiment examined the temporal changes in species composition and diversity of a developing epifaunal community on artificial substrata at Portsea. The substrata used... -
Patterns of behaviour of four shrimp species in a laboratory experiment
This study assessed the behaviour patterns of four shrimp species in a laboratory experiment that was repeated on 8 separate occasions throughout 1978. The experiment was set up... -
Movement patterns of the gastropod Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head rocky...
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
This study investigated the movement of Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head rocky shore during October 1976 and May 1977. Forty-eight individuals were marked in the October... -
Mortality of the gastropod Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head rocky shore in Victoria
School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne
This study investigated mortality of egg capsules, juveniles, and adult Lepsiella vinosa on the rocky shore at West Head, Victoria. Observations conducted between 1974 and 1979... -
