Kimberley Benthic Habitat Survey - Benthic Habitat Distribution Maps
Four locations along the Kimberley coast were video and depth surveyed to describe the substratum type, biohabitat type and the bathymetry of the seabed. Video and depth data... -
Impacts of two introduced suspension feeders in Port Phillip Bay, Australia
This study examined the impacts of 2 of the most common epibenthic suspension feeders, Sabella spallanzanii and Styela clava, in Port Phillip Bay, by transplanting individuals... -
Human activity and its effects on marine intertidal plant and animal populations: monitoring and management
This thesis examines the relationships between human use and biological changes in the rocky intertidal zone of the Bunurong Marine Park, Victoria between January 1990 and June... -
Human activities in Bunurong Marine Park, Victoria
This data was collected to quantify the recreational use of the Bunurong Marine Park. Observations were made on 139 days at 11 locations within the Park from 8th January 1990 to... -
Growth rate of the gastropod Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head rocky shore in Victoria
This study used a mark-recapture method to examine the patterns of shell growth of Lepsiella vinosa on the rocky shore at West Head, Victoria. Individuals were collected from... -
FRDC (2001/060) 'Characterising the fish habitats of the Recherche Archipelago' - Summary
The Fisheries Research and Development Corporation Project (FRDC) No. 2001/060 characterised and identified the distribution of the different benthic habitats of the Recherche... -
FRDC (2001/060) 'Characterising the fish habitats of the Recherche Archipelago' - Benthic habitats
The Fisheries Research and Development Corporation Project (FRDC) No. 2001/060 characterised and identified the distribution of the different benthic habitats of the Recherche... -
Fishes and benthos of near-shore seagrass and sandflat habitats at Monkey Mia Shark Bay, Western Australia
In February and June 1983, fishes and benthic fauna were sampled to provide quantitative estimates of densities and volumes of the benthic invertebrate animals and biomass of... -
Feeding patterns of the gastropod Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head rocky shore in Victoria
This study used observations of Lepsiella vinosa and surveys of prey species to describe the diet of L.vinosa on rocky shore at West Head, Victoria. The numbers of individual... -
Effects of trampling on rocky intertidal communities
This data is from an experiment that was designed to assess the impact of trampling on Hormosira mats, Xenostrobus beds and in areas of 'bare-rock' where Siphonaria diemenensis... -
Effects of sewage effluent on 'reference' infaunal assemblages.
This experiment tested the effects of secondary treated sewage effluent on infauna assemblages that were collected 2km from a sewage outfall ('reference' assemblage). Twelve... -
Effects of sewage effluent on 'pulse' infaunal assemblages.
This experiment tested the effects of secondary treated sewage effluent on infauna assemblages that were taken from a 'reference' site immediately after a large dump of... -
Effects of sewage effluent on 'outfall' infaunal assemblages.
This experiment tested the effects of secondary treated sewage effluent on infaunal assemblages that were collected 50m from a sewage outfall ('outfall' assemblage). Twelve... -
Effects of sewage effluent and shorebird exclusion on intertidal infaunal assemblages
This experiment tested the effects of liquid effluents on infauna assemblages in the presence and absence of shorebirds. Small plots of sediment (70cm x 50cm) were dosed with... -
Effects of Sabella spallanzanii physical structure on soft sediment macrofaunal assemblages: effects on colonisation
The introduced European polychaete Sabella spallanzanii has become a dominant feature of sub-tidal habitats in south-eastern Australia. This study examines the physical effects... -
Effects of Sabella spallanzanii physical structure on soft sediment macrofaunal assemblages: effects on existing assemblages
The introduced European polychaete Sabella spallanzani has become a dominant feature of sub-tidal habitats in south-eastern Australia. This study examines the physical effects... -
Effects of predation on the distribution of shrimp in Western Port Bay, Victoria
This study investigated the influence of predation on the distribution of shrimp in Western Port Bay from July 1977 to January 1980. Predation by birds was determined by... -
Effects of predation by fishes on the epifaunal community at Portsea, Victoria.
Exclusions were attached to artificial substrata to investigate the relative effects of predation on the development of epifaunal communities at Portsea. Exclusions were black... -
Effects of periodic trampling on the abundance of mobile animals within Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal communities
This study assesses the effects of trampling on Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal algal beds within Point Nepean National Park over six summers between 1991 and 1996.... -
Effects of introduced species on the recruitment of sessile invertebrates.
This experiment was conducted to determine if an established Botryllus schlosseri colony affected the recruitment of sessile invertebrates. Small perspex plates that had been in...
