Isopod borers in seagrass species from south-western Australia
The presence of a number of species of isopod borers (Limnoriidae family) in seagrass species from south-western Australia were documented from sampling seagrass tissue from... -
Is larval supply a good predictor of reef fish recruitment?
Larval supply and recruitment of reef fish at 5 sites around Lord Howe Island were measured during November/December 2003 and January/February 2004. Light traps, artificial reef... -

Interactive effects of near-future temperature increase (28/31°C) and ocean acidification (7.8/8.1 pH) on physiology and gonad development in adult Pacific sea urchin, Echinometra sp. A (NERP TE 5.2, AIMS)
This experiment grew adult Echinometra sp. A sea urchins under four temperature and pH treatments 28 / 7.9, 28 / 8.1, 31 / 7.9, 31 / 8.1 (degrees C, pH) to investigate the... -
Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
IMOS is designed to be a fully-integrated, national system, observing at ocean-basin and regional scales, and covering physical, chemical and biological variables. IMOS... -
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... -
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... -
Genetic subdivision of Roe's abalone, Haliotis roei Grey in south-western Australia
Starch-gel electrophoresis was used to investigate population structure of the commercially and recreationally exploited abalone, Haliotis roei. Samples were obtained from... -
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 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... -
