Larval fish assemblages in Coastal, Shelf and Offshore Waters of South-Western Australia
Fish larvae were sampled along a five-station transect extending from inshore (18m depth) to offshore waters (1000m depth) of the coast of South-Western Australia (see... -
Laboratory experiment measuring expected drag forces on limpets
The expected drag forces that the average sized limpets were exposed to in the high and low intertidal zones at Griffith Point, Victoria were estimated in a continuously... -
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... -
Importance of Photosynthetic Symbionts in Sponges
Data was collected on the biogeography and biodiversity of photosynthetic symbionts of marine sponges in Australia. From 2000, sponges from around Australia were sampled using a... -
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... -
IMOS - Australian Animal Tracking and Monitoring System (AATAMS) Facility
AATAMS represents the higher biological monitoring of the marine environment for the IMOS program. Currently AATAMS uses acoustic technology, CTD satellite trackers and bio... -
Historical effects of periodic trampling on the cover of Hormosira banksii
This study examines the effects of experimental trampling on Hormosira banksii dominated rocky intertidal platforms within the Point Nepean National Park, Victoria between 1991... -
Health and Status of Seagrass in Cockburn Sound, Owen Anchorage and Warnbro Sound: 1998 to 2008
Since 1998, a survey of seagrass health has been repeated annually between Stragglers Rocks and Warnbro Sound in the Perth metropolitan waters, in January, on behalf of DEC... -
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... -
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 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... -
