Data was collected from Cockburn Sound to determine: - the past and present distribution of seagrasses; - the 'standing crop' (weight of above-ground material) of seagrass in...

The standing crop (weight of above-ground material) of seagrass at different locations from Cockburn Sound was measured in December 1977.

Data was collected from Cockburn Sound to determine the past and present distribution of seagrasses, including sediment cores.

Two field experiments were carried out on seagrass in the Cockburn Sound area to assess the effect of water quality on seagrass growth. Leaf area was measured before and after...

Denitrification is a microbial process that takes place on and within sediment and results in the transformation of dissolved inorganic nitrogen to nitrogen gas (N2), which is...

The resource provides information on the rates of growth, competitive ability and life spans of species in the epifaunal community at Portsea. Estimates of rates of growth for...

An experiment was conducted to compare the effects of the introduced bryozoan, Bugula neritina, and the native bryozoan, Bugula dentata, on sessile invertebrate assemblages....

Changes in seagrass coverage in Cockburn Sound from 1967 to 1999 were assessed from aerial photographs using modern mapping methods with the aim of accurately determining the...

This survey was designed to assess the broad-scale habitats of Scott Reef in all habitats of North and South Reef to a water depth of 60metres.

This review was a synthesis of studies that monitored the effects of sewage disposal in the marine environment. Twenty studies that were conducted between 1973 and 1997 and met...

This data set is from a survey comparing the size and shape of limpets in the high intertidal zone compared to the low intertidal zone on a rocky shore in Western Port Bay,...

This thesis used several BACI-style statistical tests for impact (MBACI and BACI-style planned comparisons) and examined the statistical power of the tests using infaunal data...
