The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

Zoological Studies 40(2): 103-126. Lanternfishes collected during 9 cruises from 1991 to 1997 were studied. The area sampled lies between 19°N and 25°N and 114°E and 123°E. The specimens collected in this area comprise 40 species belong to 16 genera, among which 17 species are first records. These first record species include Benthosema fibulatum, Bolinichthys supralateralis, Electrona risso, Hygophum proximum, H. reinhardtii, Lampadena anomala, Lobianchia gemellarii, Lampanyctus niger, L. turneri, L. tenuiformis, Myctophum asperum, M. aurolaternatum, M. nitidulum, M. spinosum, Notolychnus valdiviae, Notoscopelus caudispinosus, and N. resplendens. Among these, six species, Bolinichthys supralateralis, Electrona risso, Lampanyctus turneri, Lampadena anomala, Notolychnus valdiviae, and Notoscopelus caudispinosus, are first records for the South China Sea, and the species, Lampadena anomala is a new record for Asian oceans (Table 1). Four species (Triphoturus microchir, Diaphus diadematus, D. latus, and D. taaningi) were controversial in previous reports, so they are discussed in this study.

We are Hobart's largest cycling club, with a long history organising and running a range of mountain biking events. Our club supports the development of additional cycling infrastructure that facilitates healthy activity and enclose an electronic member petition in support of the Council initiative. In 2019 through partnership with Mountain Biking Australia we delivered a trail workshop. Assisting a range of stakeholders in understanding the requirements of sustainable trail development in the Kunanyi/Mt Wellington Lower Foothills. This workshop was hosted by Hobart City Council to assist in the planning and construction of future works. We have been working with Council already to encourage club members to attend the excellent track-care events that have helped deliver the new and refurbished trails as part of the Councils Missing Link Project. The club have been closely consulted by Council officers and Dirt Art in the formation of the draft plan and are appreciative of the opportunity to be involved. As a club we believe that developing a connected network of trails as those proposed under Hobart City Councils Draft Mountain Bike Network Plan will establish and identify the Hobart Lower Foothills as a dedicated mountain destination.

Purpose and process of Regulatory Impact Statement When a Council seeks to make a new or significant By-law amendment, the Local Government Act 1993, requires that a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) be prepared. The preparation of an RIS requires Council to analyse the most efficient and effective options available to address a particular issue. The RIS is also required to identify whether the benefits provided by the new By-law outweigh the costs of any restrictions on competition or the potential adverse impacts on business. This requires an assessment of direct and indirect social, economic and environmental impacts of the proposed By-law and the alternatives considered. The Local Government Act 1993, under Section 156A, requires that, once the RIS has been prepared, Council must submit it to the Director of Local Government, Department of Premier and Cabinet for assessment. If the Director is satisfied that the RIS meets the statutory requirements, he or she will issue a certificate to that effect and Council may then commence the public consultation process.

Cherel1,*, S. Ducatez1, C. Fontaine1, P. Richard2, C.

We investi- gated feeding habits of a key consumer of the Southern Ocean, the southern elephant seal Miroun- gia leonina, by comparing its blood δ13C and δ15N values with those of various marine organisms, including crustaceans, squid, fishes, seabirds and fur seals. At the end of winter, δ13C values (–23.1 to –20.1‰) indicate that female elephant seals forage mainly in the vicinity of the Polar Front and in the Polar Frontal Zone. Trophic levels derived from δ15N values (trophic level = 4.6) show that the southern elephant seal is a top consumer in the pelagic ecosystem that is dominated by colossal squid. The mean δ15N value of seals (10.1 ± 0.3‰) indicates that they are not crustacean eaters, but instead feed on crustacean-eating prey. Surprisingly, most of the previously identified prey species have isotope δ13C and δ15N values that do not fit with those of potential food items.

Symondson5 and Petra Quillfeldt1 Abstract Background: Energy landscapes provide an approach to the mechanistic basis of spatial ecology and decision- making in animals. This is based on the quantification of the variation in the energy costs of movements through a given environment, as well as how these costs vary in time and for different animal populations. Organisms as diverse as fish, mammals, and birds will move in areas of the energy landscape that result in minimised costs and maximised energy gain. Recently, energy landscapes have been used to link energy gain and variable energy costs of foraging to breeding success, revealing their potential use for understanding demographic changes. Methods: Using GPS-temperature-depth and tri-axial accelerometer loggers, stable isotope and molecular analyses of the diet, and leucocyte counts, we studied the response of gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) and chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarcticus) penguins to different energy landscapes and resources. We compared species and gentoo penguin populations with contrasting population trends. Results: Between populations, gentoo penguins from Livingston Island (Antarctica), a site with positive population trends, foraged in energy landscape sectors that implied lower foraging costs per energy gained compared with those around New Island (Falkland/Malvinas Islands; sub-Antarctic), a breeding site with fluctuating energy costs of foraging, breeding success and populations.
