1. Larvae of Palaemonetes pugio Holthuis and vulgaris (Say) reared in the laboratory showed differences survival, frequency molting rate development which may be associated with amount food available. 2. were unable to survive if fed diets either single species or combinations several unicellular marine algae not fed. Starved P. larvae able one molt without but starved died molting. 3. both lived through metamorphosis a diet included animal tissue. The best survival was obtained by feeding...
1. Palaemonetes pugio Hobthuis and vulgaris (Say) were reared in the laboratory from eggs through metamorphosis. 2. The larvae of these species are very nearly identical except for a pair chromatophores found on abdominal sternite 2 P. but lacking vulgaris. sequence development is same each species. 3. Individual which age or had molted number times not necessarily alike. Larvae size, regardless molts completed, This discrepancy between seems associated with diet larvae. 4. molting frequency...
Networks of no-take marine reserves and partially-protected areas (with limited fishing) are being increasingly promoted as a means conserving biodiversity. We examined changes in fish assemblages across network two different types within park over the first 5 years its establishment. used Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) to quantify communities on rocky reefs at 20–40 m depth between 2008–2011. Each year, we sampled 12 sites 6 with contrasting levels protection (n = 4 BRUV stations per...
Climate change and ocean acidification will expose marine organisms to synchronous multiple stressors, with early life stages being potentially most vulnerable changing environmental conditions. We simultaneously exposed encapsulated molluscan embryos three abiotic stressors—acidified conditions, elevated temperate, solar UV radiation in large outdoor water tables a multifactorial design. Solar was modified plastic filters, while levels of the other factors reflected IPCC predictions for...
International shipping is the backbone of global economy with ~80% world’s trade (by volume) transported by ship. The potential environmental impacts this multi-billion-dollar industry have received considerable attention, particularly emissions into air and sea. Many these large commercial vessels lay at anchor for extended periods while awaiting their turn to enter port, yet associated anchoring remain virtually unexamined. Anchors can exceed 20 tonnes, chains up hundreds metres in length...
Abstract Conflict between humans and large predators is a longstanding challenge that can present negative consequences for wildlife. Sharks have global distribution are considered to pose potential threat humans; concurrently many shark species themselves threatened. Developing strategies coexistence this keystone group imperative. We assess blimp surveillance as technique simply effectively reduce encounters at ocean beaches determine the social acceptance of compared an established...
ABSTRACT Aerial surveys are a powerful means of collecting ecological data in terrestrial and marine systems that may otherwise be difficult to acquire. Increasingly aerial observations made with Unmanned Vehicles (UAVs), such as drones. As this technology has improved reliability affordability it replaced the traditional use fixed-wing aircraft helicopters. Drones do, however, have limitations; primarily their limited flight duration, potential disturb wildlife concerns over safety. Here we...
Anchor scour from shipping is increasingly recognised as a global threat to benthic marine biodiversity, yet no replicated ecological assessment exists for any seabed community. Without quantification of impacts biota, there substantial uncertainty maritime stakeholders and managers the estate on how these can be managed or minimised.

Zeacumantus subcarinatus is an endemic New Zealand gastropod which was first collected in the Sydney region 1924. Although records have been maintained on Australian Museum Database, there has no formal assessment of its distribution and abundance since then. We undertook timed searches for this invader 32 locations Region Autumn 2004. It present nine locations, including one not previously recorded—Umina Broken Bay. Further, Z. had disappeared from eight it reported. Population sizes were...
