FISH Four species of threatened fish listed under the FM Act were considered relevant to the proposal. Assessments of Significance for these species are given below. Grey Nurse Sharks Species Name: Grey Nurse Shark (Carcharias taurus) Status: Critically endangered species – Schedule 4A FM Act a) In the case of a threatened species, whether the action proposed is likely to have an adverse effect on the life cycle of the species such that a viable local population of the species is likely to be placed at risk of extinction. Grey nurse sharks typically occur on shallow rocky reefs along the New South Wales (NSW) coast (Last and Stevens 1994). Young are born live and also occur on shallow rocky reefs, often segregated from the adults. Grey nurse sharks can be observed at day hovering or slowly swimming around high-relief reefs. It is thought that the species becomes more active at night where it hunts over rocky reef and over soft substrata for a wide range of bony fishes, rays, sharks, squids and crustaceans (Smale 2005). There is also evidence to suggest that grey nurse sharks migrate along the NSW coast (northwards in autumn/winter and southwards in summer (Pollard et al.1996, Otway and Parker 2000). The entire east coast population of grey nurse sharks has been listed as critically endangered under the EPBC Act and recent surveys estimate the population to be small (Otway and Burke 2004, Cardno Ecology Lab 2010). In such a small population the loss of only a few individuals could seriously affect the viability of the whole population. The draft Fisheries Management Strategy (FMS) does not allow stocking to be done in areas where it is likely to have significant effects on grey nurse sharks. Currently there are no aggregation sites for grey nurse sharks within estuaries but it is probable that grey nurse sharks would enter estuaries to forage on occasion. Potential impacts from the proposal are associated with trophic impacts to the individuals that range into estuaries as well as from fishing activities associated with the proposal. Although it is probable that grey nurse sharks would enter estuaries to forage there is no evidence to suggest that grey nurse sharks depend on estuarine habitat in particular. It is possible that some estuarine prey items of grey nurse sharks could be displaced by stocked species but provided that juvenile finfish or crustaceans are stocked at appropriate densities, so that stocking does not disrupt the ecological balance of estuaries, availability or competition for food and other resources, trophic impacts would potentially not occur. For each species to be stocked, modelling, that included trophic impacts and estuarine productivity, was used to choose stocking densities that would not disrupt the ecological balance of estuaries (Chapter E, Section E.6.3). The proposed stocking densities are predicted to result in stocked fish or crustaceans using a maximum of 5 % of the total productivity of an estuary in any stocking event. This level of allocation of productivity to stocked fish is precautionary (Chapter F, Section E.5.4). As more information becomes available about potential trophic impacts of stocked fish or crustaceans, the draft FMS proposes to refine the process for estimating the most appropriate stocking densities. In addition, the diverse diet of grey nurse sharks would suggest that there is a potential for stocking to increase, rather than reduce, local estuarine food sources for sharks. Fishing activities associated with the proposal are a potential risk to grey nurse sharks. It is difficult to predict whether stocking would increase fishing effort in estuaries that are stocked and if so, by how much. A substantial increase would potentially have a negative effect on grey nurse sharks as it would increase the risk of incidental hooking to individuals ranging into stocked estuaries. Under State and Commonwealth law it is illegal to catch or harm grey nurse sharks. Most estuarine recreational fishing tackle is constructed with lines of low breaking strain and without wire traces. This sort of fishing gear is unlikely to be capable of landing large bodied sharks such as grey nurse sharks. Hooked sharks would, however, be vulnerable to the effects of hooking injuries which have potential to cause harm over time (NSW Fisheries 2002). Although grey nurse sharks have EL0809106A Final, November 2011 Cardno Ecology Lab Pty Ltd App. 2-1 Marine Fish Stocking – Environmental Impact Statement Prepared for DPI Species Name: Grey Nurse Shark (Carcharias taurus) potential for becoming entangled in beach protection mesh nets (Krogh and Reid 1996) there are no data to suggest that grey nurse sharks are caught by nets in estuaries (NSW Fisheries 2001) and the NSW Grey Nurse Shark Draft Recovery Plan does not consider this type of fishing a threat to the species (NSW Fisheries 2002). Crab traps would be of little concern. However, grey nurse sharks are considered to be vulnerable to entanglement in or ingestion of lost or discarded line, lures and nets (DEH 2003) and could therefore be placed at risk if the amount of lost or discarded gear increased as a consequence of the proposal (also see (g)). Apart from the potential impacts that stocking may have to grey nurse sharks ranging into estuaries, stocking also has potential to affect grey nurse sharks occurring in coastal waters ‘outside’ of estuaries. Impacts would be possible if stocked fish or crustaceans

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. MILK COMPOSITION OF THE NEW ZEALAND SEA LION AND FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE IT A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy . In Zoology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Federico German Riet Sa riza 2007 ABSTRACT The objectives of the present study were to: 1) describe the gross chemical milk composition of the New Zealand sea lion (NZSLs), Phocarctos hookeri, in early lactation; 2) validate an analytical method for sea lion milk composition; 3) investigate a series of temporal, individual and dietary factors that influence the milk composition of the NZSL and; 4) investigate the temporal and spatial diffe rences in the fatty acids signatures of sea lion milk. A comprehensive literature review revealed that data on milk composition in otariid species is either missing or limited, that to be able to fully describe their milk composition extensive sampling was required and that the temporal, maternal and offspring factors that influence milk composition in pinnipeds are poorly understood . The review identified that considerable work has been conducted to infer diet via the application of fatty acids signature analysis of milk and blubber. There are many factors (Le. metabolism, de novo synthesis and endogenous sources) that contribute to the differences in fatty acid composition between the diet and milk or blubber.

  • Indigenous Relationality: Women, Kinship and the Law
    Article Indigenous Relationality: Women, Kinship and the Law Patricia Dudgeon 1,* and Abigail Bray 2 1 School of Indigenous Studies, The University of Western Australia, Crawley WA 6009, Australia 2 Independent Researcher, London N7 8AN, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-86-488-3428 Received: 19 February 2019; Accepted: 23 April 2019; Published: 26 April 2019 Abstract: Strong female governance has always been central to one of the world’s oldest existing culturally diverse, harmonious, sustainable, and democratic societies. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women’s governance of a country twice the size of Europe is based on complex laws which regulate relationships to country, family, community, culture and spirituality. These laws are passed down through generations and describe kinship systems which encompass sophisticated relations to the more-than-human. This article explores Indigenous kinship as an expression of re- lationality, culturally specific and complex Indigenous knowledge systems which are founded on a connection to the land. Although Indigenous Australian women’s kinships have been disrupted through dispossession from the lands they belong to, the forced removal of their children across generations, and the destruction of their culture, community and kinship networks, the survival of Indigenous women’s knowledge systems have supported the restoration of Indigenous relational- ity. The strengthening of Indigenous women’s kinship is explored as a source of social and emo-

    BLISTER BEETLES ARE here, millions of them, and if you have a caragana hedge, watch out. The blister beetle is a slim bug, about three-quarters of an inch long, dark-colored, and some times with a metallic luster. It is active, I and will take to flight quickly when disturbed. I know nothing of its origin or breeding places, or whether it is hatched locally or at a distance, but I have never noticed anything in the vicinity which I should consider the young of the species. BLISTER BEETLES IN THIS locality appear suddenly in great swarms, and their presence is usually made manifest by the bare stalks of tender caragana shoots which they have stripped of foliage. They are said to prefer reguminous plants for food. These include, among members of the pea family, the caragana and sweet pea, and among the field crops one would suppose them to be partial to alfalfa and other clovers. I don't know about this. If a swarm which has settled on a caragana hedge is disturbed by a heavy drenching of water from a garden hose the whole swarm may leave that feeding spot and settle on another hedge on the next lot. I HAVE READ THAT Because of this tendency to move when disturbed these beetles are not easily poisoned as a spray causes them to leave for more hospitable quarters. This may be true, nevertheless, the beetles can sometimes be poisoned. On Monday evening two hedges in our neighborhood and a small clump of caragana on my own lot were found heavily infested with blister beetles which had already stripped most of the leaves from the spring growth.

The latter was compiled in a relatively short 18 month period between 1988 and 1989, and since then a great deal of new material has been discovered, with more undoubtedly yet to be unearthed of relevance to this study. As a result the present document contains material of a similar nature to that in the 1990 work, with an added emphasis on items from the period 1850 to 1900. Also included are bibliographic references which bring up to date those contained in the previous work. All told, some 1000 pages of primary sources and references to published works are now available on the Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines for the approximate period 1770 to 1900, though an attempt has been made to include items from this century which outline some of the history of the central Illawarra and Shoalhaven Aboriginal communities.
