..., and each is classed as a haul-out site with occasional pupping. At three sites near Cape Bouguer, pups were recorded but each instance was several months after a pupping season began at the large breeding colony at Seal Bay, and pups born there are known to move to other sites. Therefore each...

... out over a 6 hour period using a beam push net in riffle areas in the ports below the low level weirs and a haul net in adjacent downstream weedy areas. The sampling method used was efficient and effective allowing most fish within the vicinity of the weir to be caught. Methods of sampling, details...

Because of the irregular availability and patchy distribution from the Murray Darling, 52 brood fish were obtained from...

No trapping has been carried out due to the location being a natural area with high visitation. No evidence of breeding has been found and it is hoped that the incursion...

An experiment was carried out in the Shoalhaven River in December 1991 to deter- mine if platypuses could escape from the most used professional fishing gear, the drum net, which was introduced into the industry around 1880, and is apparently...

... were sampled in a 0.1 ha farm dam for three days immediately prior to drainage and a population census was subsequently carried out. Fyke nets proved to be an effective method of sampling the population. During the sampling phase 78% of males (n = 11) and 81% of females (n = 21) were captured...

Vegetation cover within the dam varied in response to fluctuating water levels and seasonal growth of the dominant emergent macrophyte...

... the despair and boredom he suffered in the days after his shipwreck: I used to wade out to where the turtles were, and on catching a big six-hundred-pounder, I would calmly sit astride on his back. Away would swim the startled creature, mostly a foot or so below the surface. When he dived deeper I simply sat...

They were formed into great teams as they hauled wool to ports and railheads or carted goods to isolated stations, playing a vital role in the economy of colonial Australia. However, with the advent of motorised...

Small intercept traps for flying insects, modified malaise traps, can be hauled into the canopy or placed on scaffolding around a tree and samples regularly extracted. These work well for some wood-boring and canopy associated...
