Chemical oceanography sites (Western Australia)
The first oceanographic instruments were deployed in situ at Scott Reef and Rowley Shoals from 1993 to 2003. The measurements began at Scott Reef during July 1993. The full... -
Hermatypic corals of Ashmore Reef and Cartier Island, north-western Australia
In September 1986, the hermatypic corals at 20 sites at Ashmore Reef and 4 sites at Cartier Island were surveyed. Sites were selected to encompass the range of habitats... -
Factors affecting the distribution and abundance of Grapsid crabs in the...
Pitfall traps were used to sample crab populations at five sites along a 17km reach of the Murray River, Queensland in May 1987. Sites were located along a gradient in salinity... -
Molecular approach to biomedicinals from photosymbionts of marine invertebrates
A phylogenetic tree was generated that illustrates the affiliation of the partial 16S rRNA gene sequence from a clone of the uncultured cyanobacterium symbiont of the sponge... -
Surface scars on massive corals as evidence of previous crown-of-thorns...
In April 1985, massive corals on 5 mid-shelf reefs (Green Island, Feather Reef, John Brewer Reef, Rib Reef and Wheeler Reef) and 1 outer-shelf reef (Potter Reef) were surveyed... -
Population genetics and taxonomy of the green alga, Caulerpa from the...
Allozyme variation was examined in 7 species and 4 varieties of Caulerpa sampled from the central Great Barrier Reef region. The species examined were: Caulerpa racemosa, (vars... -
Experimental Evolution Of The Coral Algal Endosymbiont, Cladocopium Goreaui,...
An experiment was carried out to compare the performance of coral juveniles using cultured symbionts selected for enhanced tolerance in Cladocopium goreaui (C1) over multiple... -
Is predation of juvenile crown-of-thorns seastars (Acanthaster cf. solaris)...
Ten predation experiments were carried out examine whether predation of juvenile CoTS by peppermint shrimp (L. vittata) is affected by the age, size, or diet of juvenile CoTS.... -

Data was collected in order to study the benthic metabolic rates and pathways of carbon and nitrogen cycling at shelf sites proximal to impacted catchments on the northern GBR... -
The relative abundance (%) of planktonic foraminifera over time in core BAR...
The advent of deep-sea drilling in the 1950's prompted the use of planktonic foraminifera (unicellular protozans) as palaeoceanographic indicators. They provide a natural... -
