  • Spatial and Temporal Variability in the Effects of Fish Predation on Macrofauna in Relation to Habitat Complexity and Cage Effects
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 224: 231–250, 2001 Published December 19 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Spatial and temporal variability in the effects of fish predation on macrofauna in relation to habitat complexity and cage effects Jeremy S. Hindell1, 2,*, Gregory P. Jenkins3, Michael J. Keough1 1Department of Zoology, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia 2Queenscliff Marine Station, PO Box 138, Queenscliff, Victoria 3225, Australia 3Marine and Freshwater Research Institute, Weeroona Parade, Queenscliff, Victoria 3225, Australia ABSTRACT: The effects of predation by fishes, in relation to habitat complexity and periodicity of sampling, on abundances of fishes and macroinvertebrates were investigated using controlled caging experiments during summer 1999/2000 at multiple locations (Blairgowrie, Grand Scenic, and Kilgour) in Port Phillip Bay, Australia. A second experiment evaluated biological and physical cage effects. Sites and habitats, but not caging treatments, could generally be differentiated by the assem- blage structure of fishes. Regardless of species, small fishes were generally more abundant in seagrass than unvegetated sand, although the nature of this pattern was site- and time-specific. Depending on the site, abundances of fishes varied between cage treatments in ways that were con- sistent with neither cage nor predation effects (Grand Scenic), strong cage effects (Kilgour) or strong predation or cage effects (Blairgowrie). The abundance of syngnathids varied inconsistently between caging treatments and habitats within sites through time. Although they were generally more abun- dant in seagrass, whether or not predation or cage effects were observed depended strongly on the time of sampling. Atherinids and clupeids generally occurred more commonly over seagrass. In this habitat, atherinids varied between cage treatments in a manner consistent with strong cage effects, while clupeids varied amongst predator treatments in a way that could be explained either by cage or predation effects.

The surveys are part of a series we began in 2007, through which we have aimed to (i) develop a suitable non-destructive technique to search for various uncommon reef fishes (mostly benthic, and many cryptic) throughout South Australia; and (ii) record and photograph such fishes, in order to learn more about their distribution, habitats, and habits. Our target list comprises more than 50 species from 14 families, for which little information is available on full distribution within South Australia, and habitat. Examples of our records during the 2009 survey period included (i) one uncommonly recorded endemic

SPRINGER SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 307 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiotogy Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

SWEARER (Orcid ID : 0000-0001-6381-9943) Article type : Articles A non-native habitat-former mitigates native habitat loss for endemic reef fishes Luke T Barrett*, Tim Dempster and Stephen E Swearer School of BioSciences, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 3010, Australia Article * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Animals that select the best available habitats are most likely to succeed in degraded environments, but ecological change can create evolutionarily unfamiliar habitats that may be under- or over-utilized by native fauna. In temperate coastal waters, eutrophication and grazing have driven a global decline in native seaweeds and facilitated the establishment of non-native seaweeds that provide novel macrophyte habitat. We tested whether a non-native kelp canopy (wakame Undaria pinnatifida) functions as a viable habitat or ecological trap for several endemic reef fishes on urchin-grazed reefs in southern Australia. We assessed the willingness of fish to utilize native vs. wakame kelp canopy via a laboratory habitat choice experiment and by recording natural recruitment to specially constructed boulder reefs with This article has been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but has not Accepted been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record.
