From 2006 to 2007 at northern Ningaloo Reef, stereo Baited Remote Underwater Video (stereo-BRUVs) and stereo Diver Operated Video (stereo-DOVs) were used to measure fish... -
The role of copper in facilitating the invasion of sessile marine invertebrate communities by pests: effects of copper pulse frequency in established assemblages
Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species. Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage... -
The role of copper in facilitating the invasion of sessile marine invertebrate communities by pests: effects of copper pulse frequency in developing assemblages
Disturbance events are thought to provide an opportunity for the colonisation and establishment of invasive species. Contamination of coastal waters with copper from sewage... -
The importance of predation in shaping marine sessile communities at Williamstown, Victoria
Predation on newly settled individuals has been shown to shape sessile invertebrate communities of the northeast coast of North America. This study tests if this response can... -
The effects of copper antifouling paints and marinas on the ecology of marine sessile epifaunal assemblages
This thesis has used a field based approach to assess the effects of copper liberated from antifouling paints on sessile epifaunal (or fouling) assemblages in southeastern... -
The ecology and trophic role of caridean shrimps in the eelgrass community of Western Port, Victoria
This study investigated the ecology of caridean shrimp in eelgrass habitats in Western Port Bay, Victoria from July 1977 to January 1980. The study sites were located on the... -
The ecology and impacts of the introduced basket clam, Corbula gibba in Port Phillip Bay, Australia
This thesis describes the ecology and impact of the introduced European basket clam, Corbula gibba (Olivi, 1792), in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria. A bay-wide survey conducted in... -
Spatial variation in fish abundances in the Lord Howe Island Marine Park.
The abundances of recruit, juvenile and adult fishes of 36 common species in the Lord Howe Island lagoon system were estimated in November and December 2003. Twenty hard... -
Spatially variable effects of copper on sessile invertebrates across a marina
A manipulative field experiment was used to assess the spatial variation in the effect of copper on sessile invertebrates within a marina in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria. Sessile... -
Spatial Distributions of Plankton in Shark Bay, Western Australia - 1983
During June 1983, the abundance and diversity of zooplankton were sampled at a series of locations though Shark Bay, Western Australia. High-salinity experiments were also... -
Saline Wastewater Outfall Pipeline (SWOP) infaunal monitoring program near 90 Mile Beach, Victoria
This data was collected to assess the impact of a saline wastewater discharge outlet from a power station that commenced discharging in mid 1983. Infaunal samples were collected... -
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,... -
Physical and biological factors influencing larval supply of reef fish to the lagoon of Lord Howe Island
Abundances of reef fish larvae, conspecific adults and habitat type were measured at 5 sites in the Lord Howe Island lagoon. Light traps were deployed daily over a 28 day period... -
Peel-Harvey Estuary Samphire Marshes Data
This study was undertaken to examine the ecology and extent of saltmarshes of the Peel-Harvey. The extent and composition of the samphire saltmarshes was investigated over the... -
Patterns of recruitment of epifaunal species at Portsea, Victoria.
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... -
Patterns of establishment and subsequent change in the structure of a marine epifaunal community.
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.
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... -
