A systematic review of literature that assess the effects of sewage disposal...
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... -
The population dynamics of the gastropod Lepsiella vinosa on the West Head...
This study surveyed the size distribution of Lepsiella vinosa at 3 sites on the rocky shore at West Head, Victoria. Monthly or bi-monthly searchers were conducted from June 1975... -
Effects of environmental factors on the distribution of shrimp in Western...
This study investigated the influence of environmental factors on the distribution of shrimp in Western Port Bay from July 1977 to January 1980. Water temperature, salinity 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 population biology and predatory behaviour of Lepsiella vinosa (Lamarck 1822)
The population biology of the small predatory thaid gastropod Lepsiella vinosa was investigated on the rocky shore surrounding West Head, Western Port Bay, Victoria from June... -
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... -
Effects of predation on the distribution of shrimp in Western Port Bay, Victoria
This study investigated the influence of predation on the distribution of shrimp in Western Port Bay from July 1977 to January 1980. Predation by birds was determined by... -
Reproductive patterns of the intertidal limpet, Siphonaria diemenensis at...
A combination of surveys and experiments were used to assess the reproductive patterns of Siphonaria diemenensis in 2 zones on the rocky shore at Griffith Point, San Remo,... -
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... -
The feeding ecology of the intertidal limpet, Siphonaria diemenensis at...
This study was conducted from December 1979 to December 1981 to determine the diet of Siphonaria diemenensis in the high and low intertidal zone on the rocky shore at Griffith... -
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 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... -
Diets of four shrimp species in eelgrass habitats, Western Port Bay, Victoria
This study examined stomach contents of shrimp sampled in the beam trawls in Western Port Bay from July 1977 to January 1980 (see parent record 'The ecology and trophic role of... -
Effects of Sabella spallanzanii physical structure on soft sediment...
The introduced European polychaete Sabella spallanzanii has become a dominant feature of sub-tidal habitats in south-eastern Australia. This study examines the physical effects... -
Denitrification measurements of sediments using cores and chambers:...
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... -
Effects of introduced species on the recruitment of sessile invertebrates.
This experiment was conducted to determine if an established Botryllus schlosseri colony affected the recruitment of sessile invertebrates. Small perspex plates that had been in... -
