Biological Sciences Branch, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Halifax Research Laboratory, PO Box 550, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2S7, Canada; formerly Department of Botany, University of Tasmania The rocky shore sublittoral fringe of the oceanic coasts of Tasmania contains a subzone dominated by the large brown alga Xiphophora iladiata. The community composition of this subzone is here examined at fourteen sites. The phytal and fauna! assemblages are analysed by principal co-ordinate, classification and nodal analyses. This subzone is found to have a high species richness. including species which had been thought to occupy only higher or lower tidal levels. It is suggested that both plant and animal assemblages are strongly influenced by wave exposure, freshwater run-off and geography. Key Words: marine community composition, sublittoral fringe, Xiphophora, multivariate analyses. INTRODUCTION (Bennett & Pope 1960). Thus, on the oceanic coasts of Tasmania it is possible to define a Xiphophora The rocky shores of southeastern Australia are subzone, dominated by X. g/adiata, which marks known to be occupied primarily by barnacles and the highest limit of the sublittoral fringe on very molluscs in the upper intertidal (Underwood 1981), exposed shores and represents the upper sublittoral while algae dominate at midshore level and below.

Brown Figure 6.1: Saltmarsh with samphire, in NY NRM Region. (A) Point Davenport; (B) Winninowie Conservation Park. Photos (c) A. Brown. (B): (c) Google Earth. Asset Saltmarsh and Samphire Description Areas of saline, mineral-rich, organic-rich, and low oxygen coastal soils within and above high tide level, often fronted by mangroves, and backed by saltbush shrubland. Saltmarsh supports various salt-tolerant plants, with samphires being the most common and significant in terms of cover in South Australia. There are distinct assemblages of salt-tolerant invertebrates associated with saltmarsh habitats. Saltmarshes provide habitat for fishes, including juveniles of species which utilise other marine habitats, and are an important feeding area for various bird species, including migratory shore birds. Examples of Birds Main Species Cormorant species (e.g.; Pied, Little Pied, and Black-faced) Caspian Tern and Little Tern Pied Oystercatcher and Sooty Oystercatcher Black-winged Stilt, Banded Stilt, Great Egret, White-faced Heron, Little Egret the threatened species Hooded Plover Little Stint Red-capped Plover Slender-billed Thornbill (Samphire Thornbill) Rock Parrot The raptors Eastern Osprey and White-bellied Sea Eagle Migratory shorebirds listed under international treaties, such as Bar-tailed Godwit, Curlew Sandpiper and Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Red-necked Stint, Grey Plover , Red Knot, Common Greenshank, Ruddy Turnstones Bony Fishes juvenile Yelloweye Mullet juvenile Greenback Flounder juvenile Southern Blue-spotted Flathead Western Striped Grunter Congolli Glass Goby Small-mouthed Hardyhead Silver Fish Smooth Toadfish Goby species such as Blue-spotted Goby and Southern Longfin Goby Adelaide Weedfish Baker, J.

This represents the frst inventory encompass- ing the three major macroalgal classes (Phaeophyceae, Florideophyceae and Ulvophyceae) for the little-known Malagasy marine fora. Combining morphological and DNA-based approaches, we report from our collection a total of 110 species from northern Madagas- car, including 30 species of Phaeophyceae, 50 Florideophyceae and 30 Ulvophyceae. Bar- coding of the chloroplast-encoded rbcL gene was used for the three algal classes, in addi- tion to tufA for the Ulvophyceae. This study signifcantly increases our knowledge of the Malagasy marine biodiversity while augmenting the rbcL and tufA algal reference libraries for DNA barcoding. These eforts resulted in a total of 72 new species records for Mada- gascar. Combining our own data with the literature, we also provide an updated catalogue of 442 taxa of marine benthic
