D 6785 (L) Diary of Gilbert Mcdougall Recording His Observations of the Flora and Fauna Around Yorke Peninsula from 2 January 1886 to 16 October 1887 with an Index
_______________________________________________________________________________________ D 6785 (L) Diary of Gilbert McDougall recording his observations of the flora and fauna around Yorke Peninsula from 2 January 1886 to 16 October 1887 with an index. Transcribed by Judy Fander, Volunteer at the State Library of South Australia, 2012. Dropped out of manuscript: two watercolour drawings of two different unnamed insects on small cards. Now housed separately with the diary. Also one small drawing of a seed found between p173 and 174. On the fly leaf: J C McDougall, c/o National Bank, Adelaide Natural History Notes. 1886 Edithburgh, Y.P. Jan.2. Hunting on the rocks down at Gottschalck’s Jetty, & found several varieties of Cominella,a number of which were feeding on a dead Chiton. Several Dromiae, strange brown hairy crabs having their backs covered by a closely-fitting but unattached zoophyte ore sponge; also a couple of Chitonellus Gunni ( ), a genus of Chitonidae in which the plates are very small & narrow & imbedded at intervals along the cartilaginous back of the mollusc. Received a letter from Pulleine to whom I had sent a specimen of the black-faced Artamus which was so abundant a couple of months ago. It is the Masked Wood Swallow (Artamus personatus), a species of periodical occurrence. I have 3 good skins, & 2 eggs. The nest is si placed in similar situations to those of A. sordidus & the construction is pretty much the same, loose twigs with no lining. The male bird has a rusty red breast & is very un- Page 3.

Chapter 21. Fauna of Jetty Piles, Artificial Reefs and Biogenic Surfaces
Chapter 21. Fauna of jetties and artificial reefs CHAPTER 21. FAUNA OF JETTY PILES, ARTIFICIAL REEFS AND BIOGENIC SURFACES ALAN BUTLER C.S.I.R.O. Marine Research, Hobart, Tasmania 7001. Email: [email protected] Figure 1. Piling of Edithburgh jetty showing sponges, ascidians and bryozoans. (CAS) Introduction This chapter is not a comprehensive description or natural history of the fauna of all jetties, artificial reefs and biogenic surfaces in Gulf St Vincent (GSV) and its approaches. It is about studies done on certain jetties, etc., in the Gulf, using them as experimental systems to increase our understanding of the larger ecosystem of which they are a part. I think of the fauna attached to pilings, artificial reefs and biogenic surfaces as a window on that larger system. Pilings have been convenient places to do experiments and make repeated observations. It has to be remembered, however, that the organisms we are studying on such surfaces are part of larger populations. They have dispersive larvae which may travel short to long distances with the currents; they have predators that move about; the assemblage on one jetty is thus connected to assemblages on other jetties and reefs. We can learn a great deal by observations and experiments at the small scale, but ultimately it only makes sense if we can successfully ‘scale up’—understand these habitats in the context of the system in which they are embedded. I say more, at the end, about this ‘scaling up’. Also, the jetties etc. are artificial—a type of substratum that was not present during the millions of years of evolution of these organisms—and are, in various respects, different from their ‘natural’ habitats.

Shark Mitigation and Deterrent Measures Submission 64
The Efficacy and Regulation of Shark Mitigation and Deterrent Measures Submission to: Senate Environment and Communications References Committee by Peter Stephenson BSc., ADAS 2815.3, Master Class V February 2017 As a commercial diver and fisherman with over 35 years of diverse experience I write this submission due to my ever-increasing concerns about policies governing management of and research into shark populations. I began snorkelling at the age of 7 and was a keen spear fisherman and surfer for decades although I am currently no longer active in these sports. (partly due to increasing negative shark incidents) I have a BSc. In marine science from Flinders University and have completed a number of years of marine research. Over more than four decades I have spent tens of thousands of hours observing and studying the marine environment. In recent years, particularly after my friends Peter Clarkson and Greg Pickering were attacked by white sharks, I have been researching shark attacks, shark behaviour and the possible factors influencing negative shark/ human interactions. I have also witnessed aggressive shark behaviour first hand but have luckily escaped serious injury…. so far. I currently work as an abalone diver in the South Australian Central Zone Abalone Fishery. THIS IS A MAJOR WORKPLACE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME! THE BAITING AND HARASSMENT OF SHARKS FOR TOURISM AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Despite legislation deeming the berleying, baiting, approach and harassment of white sharks illegal, governments grant exemptions and licences to tourism operators and scientists to conduct these activities. Despite years of research and observation, the level of conditioning of sharks by repeated berleying and baiting is still poorly understood and documented.

Sir Joseph Banks Group
Sir Joseph Banks Group The Sir Joseph bank Group comprising about 20 islands, islets and rocks is less than 25 miles from Port Lincoln and therefore an easy day sail. The trip is made more complicated than a glance at the chart might suggest because of the presence of many fish farms extending well to the east and north of Boston Bay making the trip somewhat of an ‘obstacle course’. Although these island are low-lying and do not have the soaring cliffs and rugged coastline of the more southerly Thistle and Wedge Islands, they do have a charm and beauty of their own, and are definitely worth visiting. There are numerous reefs, isolated rocks and shallow patches within the Group, so careful navigation and attention to the tide are required. All the islands are part of the Sir Joseph Banks Marine Park which means some activities are restricted in designated areas. Current information can be found on the National Parks and Wildlife Service website https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/marineparks/find-a-park/eyre-peninsula/sir-joseph-banks Homestead Bay Shelter from NE – E – SE Indicative Anchoring Position Note. Indicative anchoring positions are for reference only and should not be used as waypoints. 34° 32.1’S 136° 16.3’E The best position for anchoring depends on many factors including vessel draft, tide, and forecast wind. Homestead Bay (or Reevesby Lagoon as it is often called) is on the western side of the largest island in the group. It is a favourite anchorage for many sailors, and usually the first stop for visitors to the group.

Chapter 18. Razor Fish and Scallops
Chapter 18. Razorfish and scallops CHAPTER 18. RAZOR FISH AND SCALLOPS ALAN BUTLER CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Hobart, Tasmania 7001. Email: [email protected] Figure 1. Razorfish Pinna bicolor near seagrass, Posidonia sp. The individual in foreground shows some recent, rapid growth at the posterior margin of the shell and an epifauna mainly of serpulids but with a gastropod, a few bryozoans, and a small colony of a didemnid ascidian beginning to overgrow the bryozoans. The shell in the background is dead, may have been there for a decade, and has a well-developed epifauna, mainly of bryozoans with a couple of sponge colonies. Introduction This chapter outlines some ecological studies of bivalve molluscs in Gulf St Vincent (GSV) waters. It is eclectic, not attempting to cover all studies of bivalves, but mainly those of several large species—the ‘razor fish’ Pinna bicolor, and the scallops Mimachlamys asperrima and Equichlamys bifrons—which are conspicuous, and have proven instructive not only for understanding the ecology of these sorts of animals (sessile filter-feeders, with broadcast spawning, external fertilisation and a long larval period), but of the dynamics of the Gulf ecosystem and of the relationships between species. A vast amount has been written about the ecology of bivalves worldwide (e.g. Wilbur & Yonge 1964- 1966; Bayne 1976; Yonge & Thompson 1976; Purchon 1977; Wilbur 1983-1988; Suchanek 1985; Ludbrook & Gowlett-Holmes 1989; Beesley et al. 1998), and no attempt is made to summarise it here. 238 Chapter 18. Razorfish and scallops Razor fish ‘Razor fish’ are bivalve molluscs, not fish.
