E-mail: [email protected] 2Current address: Research Associate, Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PW, UK Abstract A new diagnosis is presented for Calyptotheca Harmer, 1957 and six species are described from the Gulf of Carpentaria: C. wasinensis (Waters, 1913) (type species), C. australis (Haswell, 1880), C. conica Cook, 1965 (with a redescription of the holotype), C. tenuata Harmer, 1957, C. triquetra (Harmer, 1957) and C. lardil n. sp. These are the first records of Bryo- zoa from the Gulf of Carpentaria, and the first Australian records for C. wasinensis, C. tenuata and C. triquetra. The limit of distribution of three species is extended east to the Gulf of Carpentaria, from Kenya for C. wasinensis, from China for C. tenuata, and from northwestern Australia for C. conica. The number of tropical Calyptotheca species in Australian ter- ritorial waters is increased from seven to eleven. Key words: Timor Sea, Arafura Sea, Beagle Gulf, tropical Australia, Indo-Pacific Introduction Knowledge of tropical Australian Bryozoa is mostly restricted to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and Torres Strait.

  • Three Aboriginal Shell Mounds at Hope Inlet: Evidence for Coastal, Not Maritime Late Holocene Economies on the Beagle Gulf Mainland, Northern Australia
    Three Aboriginal shell mounds at Hope Inlet: Evidence for coastal, not maritime Late Holocene economies on the Beagle Gulf mainland, northern Australia Patricia M. Bourke Abstract Many hundreds of Aboriginal shell mounds exist on the northern coasts of Australia. Though these archaeological features increasingly figure in broad constructions of past coastal hunter-gatherer economies, few have been analysed in any detail. This paper describes the excavation and analysis of three Anadara-dominated shell mounds situated in adjacent microenvironments at Hope Inlet, Shoal Bay near Darwin on the Northern Territory coast. These stratified deposits, formed over some 15 centuries between about 2000 and 500 years B.P., provide a relatively fine- grained record of subsistence and settlement strategies of hunter-gatherer peoples during this Late Holocene period. This study finds that these North Australian coastal groups practiced not a specialised marine or maritime subsistence economy focused on offshore resources, but a generalised and flexible coastal subsistence economy tied to the land. Introduction Many hundreds of Aboriginal shell mounds exist on Australia’s northern coasts. Though these archaeological features increasingly figure in broad constructions of past coastal hunter-gatherer economies, relatively few have been excavated and analysed in fine detail. This paper describes the excavation and analysis of three shell mounds at Hope Inlet, Shoal Bay on the Northern Territory coast near Darwin, undertaken in 1996 with the permission and help of traditional owners, the Larrakia community. The excavated sites are three of hundreds of mounds dominated by Location of Hope Inlet on the North Australian Anadara granosa shell, recorded during surveys for a PhD Figure 1 coast, showing places mentioned in the text.

  • Azooxanthellate Scleractinia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) of Western Australia
    Records of the Western Australian Museum 18: 361-417 (1998). Azooxanthellate Scleractinia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) of Western Australia Stephen D. Cairns Department of Invertebrate Zoology, MRC-163, W-329, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 20560, USA Abstract - One hundred five species of azooxanthellate Scleractinia are known from Western Australia. Seventy of these species are reported herein as new records for Western Australia, 57 of which are also new to Australia. Eleven new species are described. The study was based on an examination of approximately 1725 specimens from 333 stations, which resulted in additional records of 98 of the 105 known species. New material was examined from six museums, as well as the historical material of Folkeson (1919) deposited at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. A majority (69/105 species) of the azooxanthellate species known from Western Australia occur in the tropical region of the Northern Australian Tropical Province (bordered to the south by the Houtrnan Abrolhos Islands and Port Gregory), which can be considered as a southern extension of the larger Indo-West Pacific tropical realm. Nine species are endemic to this region, and the highest latitudinal attrition of species occurs between Cape Jaubert and the Dampier Archipelago. Another 20 species, also known from tropical regions, extend to varying degrees into the Southern Australian Warm Temperate Province. Twelve species are restricted to warm temperate waters of the Southern Australian Warm Temperate Region, most of these species being relatively shallow in depth distribution. A majority of species (53) occur at depths shallower than 200 m, 46 occur exclusively deeper than 200 m (to 1011 m), and 6 species cross the 200 m isobath.

  • 8 Oceanic Process and Natural Features
    EAW Expansion Project DEIS 8 8 Oceanic Process and Natural Features This chapter reports on the local physical oceanographic processes (Section 8.1); the potential impacts that the proposed dredging and coastal construction works are expected to impose on the oceanographic processes (Section 8.2); the management of impacts (Section 8.3); and project commitments (Section 8.4). The understanding of the potential impacts is mainly based on interpretation of hydrodynamic and wave model outcomes, as well as on numerical simulations of dredging and spoil disposal activities. 8.1 Existing Environment Darwin Harbour (Figure 8-1) is a large ria system, or drowned river valley, formed by post-glacial marine flooding of a dissected plateau. The Harbour was formed by rising sea levels about 6000 to 8000 years ago. The Harbour has a surface area of about 500 km2. In its southern and south-eastern portions, the harbour has three main components: East, West and Middle Arms, which merge into a single unit, along with the smaller Woods Inlet, before opening into Beagle Gulf to the north. The harbour extends for more than 30 km along this north-north-east – south-south-westerly oriented axis. The Elizabeth River flows into East Arm, while the Darwin and Blackmore rivers flow into Middle Arm. Freshwater inflow into the Harbour occurs from January to April, when estuarine conditions prevail in all areas (Hanley, 1988). The Darwin region is in general characterised by low, flat plateaus with an average elevation of about 15 m AHD, and occasional rises of up to 45 m AHD.

  • AQUACULTURE Development Opportunities
    land development corporation | develop tiwi PHOTO CREDIT: TOURISM NT AQUACULTURE development opportunities developtiwi.com.au OPPORTUNITIES FOR SEAFOOD Barramundi is considered an iconic fish of northern Australia. Barramundi is an Aboriginal word meaning “large scaled silver/river fish”. The Australian farmed barramundi industry started in the mid 1980s and barramundi is now farmed throughout Australia. Barramundi can be farmed in a number of ways, from indoor recirculating aquaculture (tanks) systems, to land-based pond operations and sea cages. The Tiwi Islands offers an abundance of both of these options for Barramundi farming. Mud Crabs are a highly regarded and valued food item in both Australia and Asia. Mud crab aquaculture is not currently undertaken in the Northern Territory but has been successfully carried out in a number of Asian countries. Mud Crab farming is generally based on catching juveniles from the wild and using them to stock mangrove enclosures, pens or ponds for grow out. The Darwin Aquaculture Centre has now made it feasible to supply juvenile crabs to farmers. With this development, opportunities now exist for pioneering investors to become involved in mud crab aquaculture. Sea Cucumber, also known as Trepang, is a prized delicacy throughout the Asia Pacific region. Trepang were historically harvested in the NT and traded with the Macassans dating as far back as the 1600s.The Darwin Aquaculture Centre is working with private enterprise and other organisations including Indigenous communities to find and develop suitable Trepang ranching sites in the NT. Prawns are a popular seafood and consumer demand is high. In the Northern Territory, the main species farmed is commonly known as the Black Tiger Prawn.

  • Cairns: Azooxanthellate Scleractinia of Australia 261
    © Copyright Australian Museum, 2004 Records of the Australian Museum (2004) Vol. 56: 259–329. ISSN 0067-1975 The Azooxanthellate Scleractinia (Coelenterata: Anthozoa) of Australia STEPHEN D. CAIRNS Department of Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, PO Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013-7012, United States of America [email protected] ABSTRACT. A total of 237 species of azooxanthellate Scleractinia are reported for the Australian region, including seamounts off the eastern coast. Two new genera (Lissotrochus and Stolarskicyathus) and 15 new species are described: Crispatotrochus gregarius, Paracyathus darwinensis, Stephanocyathus imperialis, Trochocyathus wellsi, Conocyathus formosus, Dunocyathus wallaceae, Foveolocyathus parkeri, Idiotrochus alatus, Lissotrochus curvatus, Sphenotrochus cuneolus, Placotrochides cylindrica, P. minuta, Stolarskicyathus pocilliformis, Balanophyllia spongiosa, and Notophyllia hecki. Also, one new combination is proposed: Petrophyllia rediviva. Each species account includes an annotated synonymy for all Australian records as well as reference to extralimital accounts of significance, the type locality, and deposition of the type. Tabular keys are provided for the Australian species of Culicia and all species of Conocyathus and Placotrochides. A discussion of previous studies of Australian azooxanthellate corals is given in narrative and tabular form. This study was based on approximately 5500 previously unreported specimens collected from 500 localities, as
