Chapter 21. Fauna of Jetty Piles, Artificial Reefs and Biogenic Surfaces
Chapter 21. Fauna of jetties and artificial reefs CHAPTER 21. FAUNA OF JETTY PILES, ARTIFICIAL REEFS AND BIOGENIC SURFACES ALAN BUTLER C.S.I.R.O. Marine Research, Hobart, Tasmania 7001. Email: [email protected] Figure 1. Piling of Edithburgh jetty showing sponges, ascidians and bryozoans. (CAS) Introduction This chapter is not a comprehensive description or natural history of the fauna of all jetties, artificial reefs and biogenic surfaces in Gulf St Vincent (GSV) and its approaches. It is about studies done on certain jetties, etc., in the Gulf, using them as experimental systems to increase our understanding of the larger ecosystem of which they are a part. I think of the fauna attached to pilings, artificial reefs and biogenic surfaces as a window on that larger system. Pilings have been convenient places to do experiments and make repeated observations. It has to be remembered, however, that the organisms we are studying on such surfaces are part of larger populations. They have dispersive larvae which may travel short to long distances with the currents; they have predators that move about; the assemblage on one jetty is thus connected to assemblages on other jetties and reefs. We can learn a great deal by observations and experiments at the small scale, but ultimately it only makes sense if we can successfully ‘scale up’—understand these habitats in the context of the system in which they are embedded. I say more, at the end, about this ‘scaling up’. Also, the jetties etc. are artificial—a type of substratum that was not present during the millions of years of evolution of these organisms—and are, in various respects, different from their ‘natural’ habitats. -
Chapter 18. Razor Fish and Scallops
Chapter 18. Razorfish and scallops CHAPTER 18. RAZOR FISH AND SCALLOPS ALAN BUTLER CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Hobart, Tasmania 7001. Email: [email protected] Figure 1. Razorfish Pinna bicolor near seagrass, Posidonia sp. The individual in foreground shows some recent, rapid growth at the posterior margin of the shell and an epifauna mainly of serpulids but with a gastropod, a few bryozoans, and a small colony of a didemnid ascidian beginning to overgrow the bryozoans. The shell in the background is dead, may have been there for a decade, and has a well-developed epifauna, mainly of bryozoans with a couple of sponge colonies. Introduction This chapter outlines some ecological studies of bivalve molluscs in Gulf St Vincent (GSV) waters. It is eclectic, not attempting to cover all studies of bivalves, but mainly those of several large species—the ‘razor fish’ Pinna bicolor, and the scallops Mimachlamys asperrima and Equichlamys bifrons—which are conspicuous, and have proven instructive not only for understanding the ecology of these sorts of animals (sessile filter-feeders, with broadcast spawning, external fertilisation and a long larval period), but of the dynamics of the Gulf ecosystem and of the relationships between species. A vast amount has been written about the ecology of bivalves worldwide (e.g. Wilbur & Yonge 1964- 1966; Bayne 1976; Yonge & Thompson 1976; Purchon 1977; Wilbur 1983-1988; Suchanek 1985; Ludbrook & Gowlett-Holmes 1989; Beesley et al. 1998), and no attempt is made to summarise it here. 238 Chapter 18.

Jetties, shipwrecks and other artificial reefs. Chapter 16 in: Baker, J.L. (2015) Marine Assets of Yorke Peninsula. Report for Natural Resources - Northern and Yorke / NY NRM Board, South Australia. 16. Jetties, Shipwrecks and Other Artificial Reefs Edithburgh Kleins Point © D. Kinasz © J. Zhang Asset Jetties, Shipwrecks and other Artificial Reefs Description Structures of wood, iron, steel, and other materials, throughout the NY NRM region, ranging from oceanographically exposed through to sheltered locations. Jetties and shipwrecks function as surfaces for attachment of marine plants and attached invertebrates; sheltering and feeding areas for fishes, sharks, rays and invertebrates; and as “fish-attracting” devices, periodically visited by schooling fishes which are attracted to vertical structure. Surrounding sea floor varies according to the location of the jetty or wreck, and includes reef, seagrass, sand, and rubble. There are also two purpose-built artificial reefs in the NY NRM region, constructed of tetrahedon module units, made up vehicle tyres. Main Species Sponges sponges (numerous species, in genera Dysidea, Euryspongia, Darwinella, Aplysilla, Dendrilla, Clathrina and many others) Ascidians / Sea Squirts Red-mouthed Ascidian, Obese Ascidian, and other solitary ascidians / sea squirts Brain Ascidian, and other colonial ascidians Spongy Compound, Leach’s Compound & other compound ascidians Corals gorgonian corals such as Mopsella zimmeri (on current-exposed jetties) soft corals, such as Carijoa (also Drifa sp. on current-exposed jetties) solitary coral Scolymia Bryozoans various species, including various species in Cellaporaria (such as Orange Plate Bryozoan and Nipple Bryozoan) and species in Triphyllozoon (Lace Bryozoans) Gastropod Shells Cowries, Cartrut shell, Triton shells Bivalve Shells Doughboy Scallop, Razorfish Shell, juvenile Native Oyster Jetties, shipwrecks and other artificial reefs. -

Mike Makatron
MIKE MAKATRON Mike Maka was born in the Yorke Peninsula to the large Moloney clan of 12 siblings. Their farm for over 80 years in Arthurton still runs in the family to this day, with two of Mikes Uncles working the land. With a close connection to the Yorke Peninsula, Mike proposes the following concept for Edithburgh. Edithburgh Concept: The Edithburgh concept begins with a wide array of coral sourced from underwater photography of the local jetty, as well as a Striped Pyjama Squid, a Cuttlefish and the magnificent Leafy Sea Dragon. Contrasting the deep blue of the surf in the bottom section, the top of the work features a radiant sunrise backgrounding the White Bellied Sea Eagle and the endangered Far Eastern Curlew in dynamic stages of flight as well as the Troubridge Island lighthouse darting up from the swell. Adorned with a subtle reference to 1856 establishment at the base. Edithburgh Design Concept: (to scale/flat) EDITHBURGH RESPONSE: For the Edithburgh water tower I have chosen to propose a design that celebrates the magnificent marine life beneath Edithburgh Jetty. Rich and buzzing natural hubs like the underwater garden at Edithburgh Jetty are increasingly rare and more essential than ever. Not only is this a bold, colourful and iconic landmark, it’s also one that demonstrates importance for the visibility and appreciation of Yorke Peninsula’s lively sea environment. Not only will the mural locate and reference a unique natural wonder of Edithburgh, the curved surface of the tower itself will also be utilised in visually imitating the cylindrical Edithburgh Jetty pylons that harbour the colourful sea sponges and marine life. -
The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh
THE LETTERS OF VINCENT VAN GOGH ‘Van Gogh’s letters… are one of the greatest joys of modern literature, not only for the inherent beauty of the prose and the sharpness of the observations but also for their portrait of the artist as a man wholly and selessly devoted to the work he had to set himself to’ - Washington Post ‘Fascinating… letter after letter sizzles with colorful, exacting descriptions … This absorbing collection elaborates yet another side of this beuiling and brilliant artist’ - The New York Times Book Review ‘Ronald de Leeuw’s magnicent achievement here is to make the letters accessible in English to general readers rather than art historians, in a new translation so excellent I found myself reading even the well-known letters as if for the rst time… It will be surprising if a more impressive volume of letters appears this year’ — Observer ‘Any selection of Van Gogh’s letters is bound to be full of marvellous things, and this is no exception’ — Sunday Telegraph ‘With this new translation of Van Gogh’s letters, his literary brilliance and his statement of what amounts to prophetic art theories will remain as a force in literary and art history’ — Philadelphia Inquirer ‘De Leeuw’s collection is likely to remain the denitive volume for many years, both for the excellent selection and for the accurate translation’ - The Times Literary Supplement ‘Vincent’s letters are a journal, a meditative autobiography… You are able to take in Vincent’s extraordinary literary qualities … Unputdownable’ - Daily Telegraph ABOUT THE AUTHOR, EDITOR AND TRANSLATOR VINCENT WILLEM VAN GOGH was born in Holland in 1853. -

Revision of the Monacanthid Fish Genus Brachaluteres
Rec. West. Aust. Mus. 1985, 12 (1): 57-78 Revision of the Monacanthid Fish Genus Brachaluteres J. Barry llutchins* and Roger Swainston* Abstract Four species of the monacanthid genus Brachaluteres are recognised: B. jack sonianus (Quoy and Gaimard) from southern Australia; B. taylori Woods from Queensland, Lord Howe Island, New Guinea and the Marshall Islands; B. ulvarum Jordan and Snyder from Japan; and B. fahaqa Clark and Gohar from the Red Sea. The long accepted name of B. baueri (Richardson) is shown to be ajunior synonym of B. jacksonianus. A key to the species is provided, as well as diagnostic illus trations. Introduction The monacanthid genus Brachaluteres consists of small fishes which are known from shallow inshore waters of several areas in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They are reasonably common in Australia and Japan, but records for the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, the Maldives and the Red Sea are each based on one to three specimens only. Being poor swimmers, they are usually found on shel tered reefs, in sea grasses or around jetty piles. All members of the genus can greatly inflate their abdomens when in danger, an adaptation which serves to noticeably increase their body size (Figure 1). This feature, together with their cryptic coloration, probably decreases the chances of predation, and therefore compensates for their relatively poor swimming ability. The genus has not been reviewed previously, although species lists and/or species accounts were presented by Gunther (1870), MacIeay (1881), McCulloch, (1929), Fraser-Brunner (1941), Clark and Gohar (1953), Whitley (1964), Woods (1966) and Scott (1969). -

Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995
Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.
