Climate change, coral bleaching and the future of the world's coral reefs
- 1999
Sea temperatures in many tropical regions have increased by almost 1°C over the
past 100 years, and are currently increasing at ~1–2°C per century. Coral
bleaching occurs when the thermal tolerance of corals and their photosynthetic
symbionts (zooxanthellae) is exceeded. Mass coral bleaching has occurred in
association with episodes of elevated sea temperatures over the past 20 years
and involves ...
Effects of climate change on fish reproduction and early life history stages
Tập 62 Số 9 - Trang 1015 - 2011
Seasonal change in temperature has a profound effect on reproduction in fish.
Increasing temperatures cue reproductive development in spring-spawning species,
and falling temperatures stimulate reproduction in autumn-spawners. Elevated
temperatures truncate spring spawning, and delay autumn spawning. Temperature
increases will affect reproduction, but the nature of these effects will depend
on the...
Carbon in catchments: connecting terrestrial carbon losses with aquatic metabolism
Tập 52 Số 1 - Trang 101 - 2001
For a majority of aquatic ecosystems, respiration (R) exceeds autochthonous
gross primary production (GPP). These systems have negative net ecosystem
production ([NEP]=[GPP]–R) and ratios of [GPP]/R of <1. This net heterotrophy
can be sustained only if aquatic respiration is subsidized by organic inputs
from the catchment. Such subsidies imply that organic materials that escaped
decomposition in t...
Origin of dissolved salts in a large, semi-arid groundwater system: Murray Basin, Australia
Tập 52 Số 1 - Trang 41 - 2001
Hypotheses to explain the source of the 1011 tons of salt in groundwaters of the
Murray Basin, south-eastern Australia, are evaluated; these are (a) mixing with
original sea water, (b) dissolution of salt deposits, (c) weathering of aquifer
minerals and (d) acquisition of solutes via rainfall. The total salinity and
chemistry of many groundwater samples are similar to sea-water composition.

Why otoliths? Insights from inner ear physiology and fisheries biology
Tập 56 Số 5 - Trang 497 - 2005
Otoliths are of interest to investigators from several disciplines including
systematics, auditory neuroscience, and fisheries. However, there is often very
little sharing of information or ideas about otoliths across disciplines despite
similarities in the questions raised by different groups of investigators. A
major purpose of this paper is to present otolith-related questions common to
all dis...
Sources, sinks and transformations of organic carbon in Australian floodplain rivers
- 1999
This paper reviews research on fluxes of carbon in Australian floodplain rivers.
Except where cover is absent, and in-stream gross primary production is >1 gC
m–2 day–1 and ratios of production to respiration are >1, riparian sources
dominate carbon pools in catchment streams. On floodplains, primary production
by river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) forests is ~600 gC m–2 year–1. Total
primar...
Studies on southern Australian abalone (genus Haliotis). I. Ecology of five sympatric species
Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 217 - 1973
Five species of abalone occur along the southern Australian coastline; of these
three species, Haliotis laevigata Donovan, Haliotis roei Gray, and Haliotis
ruber Leach, are of commercial importance; the other two species are Haliotis
cyclobates Peron and Haliotis scalaris Leach. The habitat, movement, feeding
behaviour, food, and ecological relationships with predators were studied for
each specie...
Hydrodynamics of a tidal creek-mangrove swamp system.
Tập 31 Số 4 - Trang 431 - 1980
A mathematical model is proposed for the movement of water and sediments in
Coral Creek. a tidal creek surrounded by thickly vegetated mangrove wamps in
Missionary Bay at the northern end of Hinchinbrook Island, northern Queensland.
It is shown that a net down-stream longitudinal current through mangrove swamps
exists and is responsible for rapidly carrying away organic detritus (e.g.
fallen tree ...
Potential effects of climate change on Australian estuaries and fish utilising estuaries: a review
Tập 62 Số 9 - Trang 1115 - 2011
Estuaries are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change because
changes in climatic and hydrologic variables that influence freshwater and
marine systems will also affect estuaries. We review potential impacts of
climate change on Australian estuaries and their fish. Geographic differences
are likely because southern Australian climates are predicted to become warmer
and drier, wherea...
How do Riverine Plumes of Different Sizes Influence Fish Larvae: do they Enhance Recruitment?
Tập 47 Số 2 - Trang 191 - 1996
A review of the literature suggests that river discharge plumes strongly
influence fish larvae and may play a significant role in the recruitment of
local fishes. Some rivers drain large land masses to discharge shallow, turbid
and nutrient-rich plumes that interact with ocean currents as well as with local
oceanography and meteorology; these plumes may extend hundreds of kilometres
offshore and a...
