Key words: amphidoromous, fish taxonomy, Rhinogobius sp. CO, valid species Introduction 6–11 segmented rays; anal fin with a single spine and 5–11 The freshwater gobies of the genus Rhinogobius Gill, segmented rays; pectoral fin with 14–23 segmented rays; 1859 are widely distributed in the East and Southeast pelvic fin with a single spine and five segmented rays; Asian regions, including the Russia Far East, Japan, 25–44 longitudinal scales; 7–16 transverse scales; P-V 3/ Korea, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, II II I I 0/9; 10–11+15–18= 25–29 vertebrae; body mostly Cambodia, and Thailand (Chen & Miller, 2014).

Compared to other phyla, little is known about their phylogenetic relationships at both lower and higher taxonomic levels. Hence, an effort is being made to elucidate their phylogenetic relationships. Here, we present newly sequenced nuclear and mitochondrial genes for 21 cheilostome bryozoans. Combining these data with existing orthologous molecular data, we focus on reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships of Fenestrulina and Microporella, two species-rich genera. They are currently placed in Microporellidae, defined by having a semicircular primary orifice and a proximal ascopore.

    Yellabinna and Warna Manda Parks Draft Management Plan 2017 We are all custodians of the Yellabinna and Warna Manda parks, which are central to Far West Coast Aboriginal communities. Our culture is strong and our people are proud - looking after, and sharing Country. We welcome visitors. We ask them to appreciate the sensitivity of this land and to respect our culture. We want our Country to remain beautiful, unique and healthy for future generations to enjoy. Far West Coast Aboriginal people Yellabinna parks Warna Manda parks • Boondina Conservation Park • Acraman Creek Conservation Park • Pureba Conservation Park • Chadinga Conservation Park • Yellabinna Regional Reserve • Fowlers Bay Conservation Park • Yellabinna Wilderness Protection Area • Laura Bay Conservation Park • Yumbarra Conservation Park • Point Bell Conservation Park • Wahgunyah Conservation Park • Wittelbee Conservation Park Your views are important This draft plan has been developed by the Yumbarra Conservation Park Co-management Board. The plan covers five parks in the Yellabinna region – the Yellabinna parks. It also covers seven coastal parks between Head of the Bight and Streaky Bay - the Warna Manda parks. Warna Manda means ‘coastal land’ in the languages of Far West Coast Aboriginal people. Once finalised, the plan will guide the management of these parks. It will also help Far West Coast Aboriginal people to maintain their community health and wellbeing by supporting their connection to Country. Country is land, sea, sky, rivers, sites, seasons, plants and animals; and a place of heritage, belonging and spirituality. The Yellabinna and Warna Manda Parks Draft Management Plan 2017 is now released for public comment. Members of the community are encouraged to express their views on the draft plan by making a written submission.

Charles J. Gabriel, Honorary Associate in Gonchology, National Museum of Victoria. Introduction. It has always been my conviction that the spasmodic and haphazard collecting so far undertaken has not exhausted the molluscan species to be found in the deeper waters of South- eastern Australia. Only two large single collections have been made; first by the vessel " Challenger " in 1874 at Station 162 off East Moncoeur Island in 38 fathoms. These collections were described in the " Challenger " reports by Rev. Boog. Watson (Gastropoda) and E. A. Smith (Pelecypoda). In the latter was included a description of a shell Thracia watsoni not since taken in Victoria though dredged by Mr. David Howlett off St. Francis Island, South Australia. In 1910 the F. I. S. " Endeavour " made a number of hauls both north and south of Gabo Island and off Cape Everard. The u results of this collecting can be found in the Endeavour " reports. T. Iredale, 1924, published the results of shore and dredging collections made by Roy Bell. Since this time continued haphazard collecting has been carried out mostly as a hobby by trawler fishermen either for their own interest or on behalf of interested friends. Although some of this material has reached the hands of competent workers, over the years the recording of new species has probably been delayed.

  • Biodiversity Summary: Port Phillip and Westernport, Victoria
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.
