  • A New Freshwater Catfish (Pisces: Ariidae) from Northern Australia
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus. 1988,14(1): 73-89 A new freshwater catfish (Pisces: Ariidae) from northern Australia PatriciaJ. Kailola* and Bryan E. Pierce* Abstract A new species of fork-tailed catfish is described on the basis of 31 specimens collected in northern Australia between the Fitzroy River (Western Australia) and the Mitchell River (Queensland). Arius midgleyi sp. novo grows to at least 1.3 m TL and is distinguished from other Australo-Papuan ariids by a combination of charac­ ters including snout shape, barbel length, eye size, tooth arrangement and gill raker number and position. Comparison is made with other ariid species occurring in northern Australian rivers, including the morphologically similar A. leptaspis (Bleeker). Introduction The Timor Sea and Gulf of Carpentaria drainage systems (Lake 1971) approx­ imately represent the Leichhardtian zoogeographic region of Whitley (1947). The rainfall pattern in this region is dominated by the wet monsoon (occurring within the period November to April). Most rivers here traverse a flat coastal plain about 15 km wide before reaching the sea (Lake 1971). These rivers commonly possess wide flood plains and low gradients, often contracting to a chain of waterholes during the dry season; some (Gregory River; Fitzroy to Daly Rivers) have reaches of rapids or very deep gorges. The average annual discharge from this region is 69000 billion litres (Lake 1971), most of it occurring during the wet season. Five of Australia's 18 species of fork-tailed catfishes (Ariidae) are common in this northern region, yet were overlooked by Whitley (1947) and Iredale and Whitley (1938). The members of this family, which is distributed circumglobally in the tropics and subtropics, may inhabit the sea, rivers within tidal influence, or fresh waters.

Information derived from the published and unpublished work of others has been acknowledged in the text and a list of references given.” Yusuke Fukuda 22 November 2004 ii “Mirai ha jibun de tsukuru mono. Anata ga miru yume no subete koso anata jishin desu.” Tomoyasu Hotei iii Acknowledgement I would like to thank all the people who were involved in this research and kindly offered their warm support. Numerous organizations have generously provided their data for my research. In particular; Wildlife Management International, the Parks and Wildlife Service of the Northern Territory, Western Australian Department of Conservation and Land Management, and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service have provided crocodile data that are results of years of their extensive surveys. I also received thoughtful, helpful and friendly advices and suggestions from Professor Grahame Webb, Mr Charlie Manolis, Dr Mike Letnic, Dr Peter Mawson, and Dr Mark Read at these organizations. The Cooperative Research Centre for Tropical Savannas Management, the Key Centre for Tropical Wildlife Management, Queensland Herbarium, Environmental Protection Agency, Weed Branch of the Northern Territory Department of Infrastructure Planning and Environment, the National Land and Water Resources Audit have provided their environmental data for the research.

  • KUNINJKU PEOPLE, BUFFALO, and CONSERVATION in ARNHEM LAND: ‘IT’S a CONTRADICTION THAT FRUSTRATES US’ Jon Altman
    3 KUNINJKU PEOPLE, BUFFALO, AND CONSERVATION IN ARNHEM LAND: ‘IT’S A CONTRADICTION THAT FRUSTRATES US’ Jon Altman On Tuesday 20 May 2014 I was escorting two philanthropists to rock art galleries at Dukaladjarranj on the edge of the Arnhem Land escarpment. I was there in a corporate capacity, as a direc- tor of the Karrkad-Kanjdji Trust, seeking to raise funds to assist the Djelk and Warddeken Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) in their work tackling the conservation challenges of maintain- ing the environmental and cultural values of 20,000 square kilometres of western Arnhem Land. We were flying low in a Robinson R44 helicopter over the Tomkinson River flood plains – Bulkay – wetlands renowned for their biodiversity. The experienced pilot, nicknamed ‘Batman’, flew very low, pointing out to my guests herds of wild buffalo and their highly visible criss-cross tracks etched in the landscape. He remarked over the intercom: ‘This is supposed to be an IPA but those feral buffalo are trashing this country, they should be eliminated, shot out like up at Warddeken’. His remarks were hardly helpful to me, but he had a point that I could not easily challenge mid-air; buffalo damage in an iconic wetland within an IPA looked bad. Later I tried to explain to the guests in a quieter setting that this was precisely why the Djelk Rangers needed the extra philanthropic support that the Karrkad-Kanjdji Trust was seeking to raise. * * * 3093 Unstable Relations.indd 54 5/10/2016 5:40 PM Kuninjku People, Buffalo, and Conservation in Arnhem Land This opening vignette highlights a contradiction that I want to explore from a variety of perspectives in this chapter – abundant populations of environmentally destructive wild buffalo roam widely in an Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) declared for its natural and cultural values of global significance, according to International Union for the Conservation of Nature criteria.

  • Australian Freshwater Crocodile Crocodylus Johnstoni Grahame J.W
    Australian Freshwater Crocodile Crocodylus johnstoni Grahame J.W. Webb and S. Charlie Manolis Wildlife Management International Pty. Limited, PO Box 530, Sanderson, NT 0812, Australia ([email protected], [email protected]) Common Names: Australian freshwater crocodile, freshie, Federal legislation. This correction was unnoticed by some Johnson’s crocodile, Johnstone’s crocodile, Johnston’s (King and Burke 1989), so “Crocodylus johnsoni” still crocodile appears in some contexts (CITES and IUCN). Ecology and Natural History Range: mainland northern Australia The Australian freshwater crocodile is a small to medium- sized crocodile restricted to tropical northern Australia (Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland). It has a very narrow snout, and can be readily distinguished from other freshwater species of crocodilians in the Asian region (eg Crocodylus mindorensis, C. novaeguineae, C. siamensis, C. porosus). It is much more similar in appearance to C. cataphractus from Africa and C. intermedius from the Orinoco River drainage of Venezuela and Colombia. Maximum size of males exceeds 3 m, and females may exceed 2 m. Throughout its range, C. johnstoni is generally restricted Figure 1. Distribution of Crocodylus johnstoni. to freshwater habitats upstream of tidal infl uence (Webb et al. 1987a). This includes almost any type of permanent freshwater habitat including rivers, creeks, swamps and fl oodplain lakes Conservation Overview and lagoons (“billabongs) (eg see Webb et al. 1983c). In some rivers, C. johnstoni extends into tidal, saline waters, CITES: Appendix II although they may be restricted from colonizing such areas by C. porosus (Messel et al. 1981). In some areas they are 2009 IUCN Red List: LR1c (Lower Risk, least concern; sympatric with C.

  • Djelk Healthy Country Plan 2015-2025 (2015)
    Djelk Healthy Country Plan 2015–2025 The Djelk Logo ‘Djelk’ is a Gurrgoni word for ‘land’ and ‘caring for the land’. The Djelk logo embodies the land management approach of the Rangers and their supporting community. The fish trap represents the group’s role in bringing Landowners together to make decisions about the land. The waterlily links the earth, water, air and people—it is a plant of both beauty and a source of food. The two stems represent the dual laws Djelk recognise—Bininj (traditional Aboriginal) and Balanda (non- Indigenous). The lily bulbs and roots represent the many land-owning clans in the area. The dilly bag holds important messages for the people, alluding to the contemporary land management knowledge Djelk can offer Landowners. 2 Djelk Healthy Country Plan 2015–2025 © Djelk Rangers 2015. The Djelk Healthy Country Plan was prepared by the Djelk Rangers and Bininj Landowners throughout the Djelk operational region. It was written from their information by Jennifer Ansell.
