Enquiries should be addressed to: Manager Publishing Services Queensland Department of Primary Industries GPO Box 46 Brisbane QLD 4001 Fisheries Guidelines for Design of Stream Crossings BACKGROUND Introduction Fish move widely in rivers and creeks throughout Queensland and Australia. Fish movement is usually associated with reproduction, feeding, escaping predators or dispersing to new habitats. This occurs between marine and freshwater habitats, and wholly within freshwater. Obstacles to this movement, such as stream crossings, can severely deplete fish populations, including recreational and commercial species such as barramundi, mullet, Mary River cod, silver perch, golden perch, sooty grunter and Australian bass. Many Queensland streams are ephemeral (they may flow only during the wet season), and therefore crossings must be designed for both flood and drought conditions.

  • Comparisons Between the Biology of Two Species of Whiting (Sillaginidiae) in Shark Bay, Western Australia
    Comparisons between the biology of two species of whiting (Sillaginidiae) in Shark Bay, Western Australia By Peter Coulson Submitted for the Honours Degree of Murdoch University August 2003 1 Abstract Golden-lined whiting Sillago analis and yellow-fin whiting Sillago schomburgkii were collected from waters within Shark Bay, which is located at ca 26ºS on the west coast of Australia. The number of circuli on the scales of S. analis was often less than the number of opaque zones in sectioned otoliths of the same fish. Furthermore, the number of annuli visible in whole otoliths of S. analis was often less than were detectable in those otoliths after sectioning. The magnitude of the discrepancies increased as the number of opaque zones increased. Consequently, the otoliths of S. analis were sectioned in order to obtain reliable estimates of age. The mean monthly marginal increments on sectioned otoliths of S. analis and S. schomburgkii underwent a pronounced decline in late spring/early summer and then rose progressively during summer and autumn. Since these trends demonstrated that opaque zones are laid down annually in the otoliths of S. analis and S. schomburgkii from Shark Bay, their numbers could be used to help age this species in this marine embayment. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters, L∞, k and to derived from the total lengths at age for individuals of S. analis , were 277 mm, 0.73 year -1 and 0.02 years, respectively, for females and 253 mm, 0.76 year -1 and 0.10 years, respectively. Females were estimated to attain lengths of 141, 211, 245 and 269 mm after 1, 2, 3 and 5 years, compared with 124, 192, 224 and 247 mm for males at the corresponding ages.

Memoirs of the Queensland Museum 45(1):1-164. Brisbane. ISSN 0079-8835. Published reports of protozoan species from Australian animals have been compiled into a host- parasite checklist, a parasite-host checklist and a cross-referenced bibliography. Protozoa listed include parasites, commensals and symbionts but free-living species have been excluded. Over 590 protozoan species are listed including amoebae, flagellates, ciliates and ‘sporozoa’ (the latter comprising apicomplexans, microsporans, myxozoans, haplosporidians and paramyxeans). Organisms are recorded in association with some 520 hosts including mammals, marsupials, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. Information has been abstracted from over 1,270 scientific publications predating 1999 and all records include taxonomic authorities, synonyms, common names, sites of infection within hosts and geographic locations.
