Origin of dissolved salts in a large, semi-arid groundwater system: Murray Basin, Australia
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
compositio... ...

Hydrodynamics of a tidal creek-mangrove swamp system.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. fall... ...

Abundance, Diet and predators of juvenile banana prawns, Penaeus merguiensis, in a tropical mangrove estuarySampling of Penaeus merguiensis de Man with a variety of nets in several microhabitats of a small mangrove-lined estuary near Townsville on seven occasions during 1985 and 1986 captured only one adult prawn. Juveniles of 1-21 mm carapace length (CL) entered the mangrove forest at high tide throughout the year in concentrations up to 0.45 m-3. The mean density of juveniles (3-23 mm CL) in s... ...

Predation by southern sea lions (Otaria flavescens) on artisanal fishing catches in UruguaySouthern sea lions (Otaria flavescens) forage in coastal fishery grounds in shallow waters, where they interact with coastal fishing activities. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the predation of southern sea lions on artisanal fishery catches and thus determine whether interactions with sea lions affected catches. Between July 1997 and March 1998, we observed 53 fishing ... ...

Adaptive management for water quality planning - from theory to practice
Adaptive management has been promoted as a structured approach to learning in response to the uncertainty associated with managing complex systems. We developed and tested a protocol to guide an adaptive approach to water quality management in north-eastern Australia. The protocol articulates a framework for documenting uncertainties and performance expectations, negotiating feedback and... ...

Threatening processes and conservation management of endemic freshwater fish in the Mediterranean basin: a reviewMediterranean endemic freshwater fish are among the most threatened biota in the world. The Mediterranean basin has experienced substantial reductions in precipitation and water availability, which will worsen with climate change. Current water policy is directed to increase water-supply demands, especially for agriculture, and not to improve water-use efficiency and implement integrated a... ...

Spatio-temporal dynamics of fish feeding in the lower Mulgrave River, north-eastern Queensland: the influence of seasonal flooding, instream productivity and invertebrate abundance
Wet-season flooding causes dietary shifts in tropical freshwater fish by regulating instream productivity, habitat structure and food availability. These dynamics have been comprehensively documented worldwide, but data are limited for Australia’s Wet Tropics rivers. The aim of the present study was to extend our earlier fish–habitat model for these systems by examining the role of troph... ...

Carbon in catchments: connecting terrestrial carbon losses with aquatic metabolism
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 decomp... ...

Numerical modelling of tide-induced residual circulation in Sydney Harbour
Tide-induced residual circulation and
dispersion in Sydney Harbour has been studied with a vertically integrated,
two-dimensional, primitive equation model. The tide-induced residual
circulation consists of a series of recirculating gyres that are due to the
interaction of the tidal current with the complex coastal geometry and
bathymetry of the harbour. Inclusion of the S2 tide and
homog... ...

Heavy metals, selenium and arsenic in nine species of Australian commercial fishResults of a survey of metal levels in nine species of important commercial fish from New South Wales waters are reported. Muscle samples from 20-30 individuals of each species were analysed for mercury, cadmium, lead, copper and zinc. Eight to 12 individuals of each species were analysed for selenium and arsenic. Of the 232 fish analysed, 231 had concentrations of cadmium, lead, copper an... ...
