    A SURVEY OF THE WESTERN BLUE GROPER ON SOUTHERN YORKE PENINSULA By Scoresby A. Shepherd and James B. Brook Reefwatch, c/o Conservation Council of South Australia, 120 Wakefield St, Adelaide, 5000. 24 January 2003 Photo: Adrian Brown 1 A SURVEY OF THE WESTERN BLUE GROPER ON SOUTHERN YORKE PENINSULA, SOUTH AUSTRALIA by Scoresby A. Shepherd 1 and James B. Brook2 1Senior Research Fellow, South Australian Research and Development Institute, PO Box 120 Henley Beach. 5022. Email address: [email protected] 2PO Box 111 Normanville, SA. 5204. Email address: [email protected] SUMMARY Thirteen sites on southern Yorke Peninsula were surveyed in order to estimate the abundance of the western blue groper, Achoerodus gouldii. Juveniles (<20 cm) were sporadically common at shallow, moderately sheltered sites in creviced rocky areas. Sub-adults (20-60 cm) occurred at depths of 2-6 m and their abundance was correlated with that of juveniles, suggesting local recruitment of juveniles to adjacent reefs. Sub-adults > 30 cm were rare and adults (> 60 cm) even rarer. Anecdotal evidence from the 1960s to the 1980s was that adult groper were once common off headlands of SW Yorke Pen. Using the mean size of adult blue-throated wrasse as an index of fishing intensity, we found a correlation between this index and the mean size of sub-adults. The correlation implies that, despite formal protection of the blue groper, fishing mortality may be a contributing factor to the rarity of sub-adults in in-shore waters. Measures such as no-take reserves would give better protection to this species on open coasts.

    _______________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

  • South Australia's National Parks Guide
    SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S NATIONAL PARKS GUIDE Explore some of South Australia’s most inspirational places INTRODUCTION Generations of South Australians and visitors to our State cherish memories of our national parks. From camping with family and friends in the iconic Flinders Ranges, picnicking at popular Adelaide parks such as Belair National Park or fishing and swimming along our long and winding coast, there are countless opportunities to connect with nature and discover landscapes of both natural and cultural significance. South Australia’s parks make an important contribution to the economic development of the State through nature- based tourism, recreation and biodiversity. They also contribute to the healthy lifestyles we as a community enjoy and they are cornerstones of our efforts to conserve South Australia’s native plants and animals. In recognition of the importance of our parks, the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources is enhancing experiences for visitors, such as improving park infrastructure and providing opportunities for volunteers to contribute to conservation efforts. It is important that we all continue to celebrate South Australia’s parks and recognise the contribution that people make to conservation. Helping achieve that vision is the fun part – all you need to do is visit a park and take advantage of all it has to offer.

  • 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.

Vincent N Stansbury E Warooka C Yorketown T I in the DIOCESE OF WILLOCHRA O N So they went out and proclaimed that all should After Pentecost, repent. Mark 6:12 (NRSV) 2018 ..........from Henry For many people humility doesn’t register on their list of personal goals. It’s assumed that being humble means being willing to be stepped on. Who needs that? Jesus shows us the ultimate example of humility. God’s Word tells us, “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant” (Philippians 2:5–7). Jesus demonstrated the greatest humility of all. Though eternally with the Father, He chose to bend beneath a cross in love so that through His death He might lift any who receive Him into the joy of His presence. We imitate Jesus’s humility when we seek to serve our heavenly Father by serving others. Jesus’s kindness helps us catch a breathtaking glimpse of the beauty of setting ourselves aside to attend to others’ needs. Aiming for humility isn’t easy in our “me first” world. But as we rest securely in our Saviour’s love, He will give us everything we need to follow Him. Henry Ivey, Locum Ministry District Priest PS – Henry & Jenny’s last Sunday in LYP with be 30 th Sept.
