Abstract:

This paper presents a biogeochemical model of a coastal lagoon intended to be representative of lagoons occurring along the south-east and south-west coasts of Australia. Many of these lagoons are threatened by increased nutrient loads because of land use change, by alterations to their freshwater inflows and by modification to their tidal flushing regimens. The model simulates the biogeochemical response of the lagoon to nutrient (nitrogen) loading and includes nutrient transformation processes in the sediments, as well as in the water column. The paper focuses on the response of primary prod

Abstract:

Physical, chemical and biotic attributes of 16 lakes and ponds in the siliceous dunefields of Cape Flattery, in the humid tropics of Australia, have been investigated. The dune lakes are similar to those of dunefields in south-eastern Queensland, with very low to low conductivity (62-338 �S cm-1), low pH (3.9-6.8), and low to high humic content (gilvin 0.0-31.0 g440 m-1). These lakes are apparently not perched above the local water table. The ionic compositions of all lakes were very similar, with NaCl predominating and with very low concentrations of Mg, Ca, K, and SO4. Bicarbonate was absent

Abstract:

Alternative-states theory commonly applied, for aquatic systems, to shallow lakes that may be dominated alternately by macrophytes and phytoplankton, under clear-water and enriched conditions, respectively, has been used in this study as a basis to define different states that may occur with changes in wetland salinity. Many wetlands of the south-west of Western Australia are threatened by rapidly increasing levels of salinity as well as greater water depths and permanency of water regime. We identified contrasting aquatic vegetation states that were closely associated with different salinitie

Gilvin was the main attenuator of photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) in 26 freshwater coastal dune lakes, despite most being only slightly humic (range 0.000-27.866 m-1, median = 1.088 m-1). Most were also non-turbid [range 0.27-3.00 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU), median = 0.77 NTU] and had low concentrations of chlorophyll a (range 0.212-15.869 �g I-1, median = 3.285 �g I-1). Accordingly there was only slight to moderate attenuation of PAR in most lakes, the majority having mean downwelling vertical attenuation coefficients of less than 1.0 m-1.

Abstract:

The consequences of human activities increasing concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases are already being felt in marine and terrestrial environments. More energy has been trapped in the global climate system, resulting in warming of land and sea temperatures. About 30% of the extra atmospheric carbon dioxide has been absorbed by the oceans, increasing their acidity. Thermal expansion and some melting of land-based ice have caused sea level to rise. Significant climate changes have now been observed across Australia and its coastal seas. The clearest signal is the warming of air and sea

The role of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) and zooplankton grazing on the growth of a phytoplankton community was investigated at different times in the Ben Chifley reservoir.

Blooms of phytoplankton (100-280 mg chlorophyll a m-1) occur on the continental shelf off Sydney in the spring of most years. These sudden chlorophyll increases (more than 10 times the normal algal biomass) are due to short-lived diatom blooms that evolve in a predictable sequence from small chainforming species (Nitzschia, Thalassiosira) to large centric species (Lauderia, Rhizosolenia) and eventually to large dinoflagellates (Protoperidinium).

The Centropagidae, and particularly the genus Boeckella, are found in New Zealand, most of Australia, southern and high altitude regions of South America, and around the periphery of Antarctica. The biogeography and ecology of this family is discussed in detail. Most predaceous families of Cladocera a

Abstract:

Phylogeography is a field that has the potential to provide an integrative approach to the conservation of threatened species. The southern purple spotted gudgeon, Mogurnda adspersa, is a small freshwater fish that was once common and widely distributed throughout south-eastern Australia. However, habitat alteration has dramatically reduced the size and the range of Murray–Darling Basin populations, which are now classified as endangered. Here patterns of genetic structure and evolutionary history of M. adspersa in southern Queensland and the Murray–Darling Basin are elucidated using three reg

Abstract:

Understanding the migratory behaviour of fishes is critical to the conservation and management of fish assemblages in coastal rivers. We analysed the otolith chemical signatures of smelt, Retropinna sp., from inland and coastal populations in mainland south-eastern Australia to determine whether individuals within coastal populations of the species were diadromous. Assessments of otolith chemical composition combined with water chemistry data were used to make inferences about the migration histories of individual fish. A proportion of the smelt collected from the freshwater reaches of a coast

Abstract:

The geologically complex eastern Australian coastal margin supports the highest taxonomic diversity of freshwater fishes on the continent. However, mechanisms leading to coastal biogeographic patterns are poorly understood. A 399-bp fragment of the hypervariable mtDNA control region was sequenced from populations of eel-tailed catfish (Tandanus tandanus) to determine their phylogeographic structure and to relate this to proposed biogeographic mechanisms and landform evolution. Genetic structure in Tandanus is complex, with haplotypes clustering into three lineages: a phylogenetically distant,

Abstract:

Upstream migration of juvenile stages of temperate Australian amphidromous fish typically coincides with seasonally low river discharge when hydraulic (e.g. cascades) and physical (e.g. rock bars) barriers may be common. The ability to ‘climb’ or ‘jump’ may be expected to assist in negotiating low-flow barriers; however, it is presumed to be limited to a few native Australian freshwater fishes. Juvenile stages of Galaxias truttaceus Valenciennes, 1846 were observed ‘climbing’ and ‘jumping’ to successfully negotiate a low, vertical weir wall during their upstream recruitment migrations in south

This paper presents a review of the systematics of freshwater crayfish species in the genus Engaewa Riek, endemic to south-western Australia. Allozyme electrophoresis of six allopatric populations of Engaewa and several outgroup taxa at 17 loci was initially used to identify four distinct genetic groups within the genus. Morphological characters were then used to establish within and between species boundaries more precisely. Five species were recognised, comprising the existing species E. subcoerulea Riek, E. reducta Riek, and E. similis Riek, plus two new species, E. pseudoreducta, sp. nov.

Water samples were collected from four different sites during the blooms that occurred in March 2015. We analysed physicochemical and biolo

Abstract:

The structure of freshwater fish assemblages in waters of the southern acid peat flats of south-western Australia was monitored over a 3-year period. Nine locations were sampled during the course of the study; they differed in the permanence of the water supply and the degree of isolation from permanent water. The climate of the region is a Mediterranean one of high predictability (i.e. pronounced seasonality and low interannual variation). Consequently, temporary aquatic habitats were also temporally predictable in incidence and duration and were colonized by a comparatively rich fish fauna.

Abstract:

Understanding migratory requirements is critical for the conservation of diadromous fishes. Tupong (Pseudaphritis urvillii) are diadromous fishes found in freshwater and estuarine regions of south-eastern Australia. Previous studies have hypothesised that mature female tupong undertake downstream spawning migrations from freshwater to the estuary or sea, with a compensatory return of juveniles, and possibly spent fish, back upstream. We applied acoustic telemetry to test this hypothesis. We tagged 55 female tupong in two river systems in Victoria, Australia, and tracked movements for 4- to 6-m
