Between November 2005 and December the short-term effects of sulphide on the growth, nutrition and morphology of the seagrass Halophila ovalis were investigated in situ in the... -
Effects of periodic trampling on rocky intertidal algal beds: Hormosira banksii cover
This study examines the effects of trampling on rocky intertidal platforms dominated by the brown algae Hormosira banksii. This dataset gives the percent cover of Hormosira... -

The Fisheries Research and Development Corporation Project (FRDC) No. 2001/060 characterised and identified the distribution of the different benthic habitats of the Recherche... -
Seagrass surveys of Exmouth Gulf
A preliminary survey of seagrass communities in Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia, found very low abundances of seagrasses. This seems surprising given the abundance of seagrass... -
Interactions between sea urchins and macroalgae in SW Australia - Summary.
Data was collected to: - characterise the distributions and abundances of herbivorous invertebrates (mainly sea urchins) and examine their trophic positions and diets, and -... -
Seagrass, sediment and infauna - a comparison of Posidonia australis,...
The above- and below-ground biomass of three seagrass species, Posidonia australis, Posidonia sinuosa and Amphibolis antarctica, were measured within Princess Royal Harbour.... -
The Ecology of Cockburn Sound - Algal Epiphytes
The presence/absence of algal epiphytes on seagrass fronds in Cockburn Sound was recorded. Data includes the algal species, location, depth, quadrat, date. -
Seagrass, sediment and infauna - a comparison of Posidonia australis,...
Quantitative samples of the macrofauna from three seagrass species, Posidonia australis, Posidonia sinuosa and Amphibolis antarctica, and nearby non-vegetated area were... -
Benthic Habitat Mapping in Cockburn Sound 2004
Detailed surveys were undertaken to accurately map the benthic coverage and assemblages of the Eastern Shelf, Cockburn Sound for summer 2004, using sidescan sonar and extensive... -
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... -
Spencer Gulf marine ecology: biological and physico-chemical habitat...
Sampling data collected during 2002 on water quality, sediment composition and benthic habitats at a range of sites previously considered for aquaculture in the Spencer Gulf,... -
The epibenthic fauna of seagrass beds and bare sand in Princess Royal...
A short-term sampling programme in Princess Royal Harbour aimed to compare the mobile macrofauna of a shallow eutrophic seagrass habitat (Posidonia australis) with an adjacent... -
Human activity and its effects on marine intertidal plant and animal...
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... -
Ecological studies on seagrasses of SW Australia - Cockburn Sound - Summary
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... -
Seagrass nutrient uptake influenced by below-ground sulphide: a...
Rhizome sections of Halophila ovalis were collected from the Swan River Estuary at Pelican Point (31°59 S, 115°49 E) in January 2006 and were planted into a hydroponic, split-... -
The Measurement of Seagrass Photosynthesis Using PAM Fluorometry - Recovery...
Data was collected on the photosynthetic rates of Posidonia sinuosa plugs (shoots with sediment intact) and sprigs (shoots with bare roots) before, during and after... -
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... -
Marine Biological Survey of the Central Kimberley, Western Australia.
This report describes the results of the third and final expedition to the Kimberley to document the marine flora and fauna of the area. The expedition took place in November-... -
