Thompson, JJ. "Patterns of shorebird abundance in eastern Moreton Bay, Queensland." Wildlife Research 20, no. 2 (1993): 193. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/wr9930193.

Full text

Abstract:

An indirect census method was developed to enable the first large-scale censuses of shorebirds in eastern Moreton Bay, Queensland. The method used the number of bar-tailed godwits counted on high-tide roosts, and the proportion of species on associated intertidal feeding areas, to estimate the abundance of all species. Shorebirds tended to be more abundant at the time of the northward migration, while fluctuations in numbers suggested that shorebirds staged in eastern Moreton Bay during both the southward and northward migrations. Census results highlighted the large number of grey-tailed tattlers, eastern curlews and bar-tailed godwits using eastern Moreton Bay, and provided further evidence that Moreton Bay is a site of international significance for shorebirds.

Full text

Abstract:

Large quantities of tailor, Pomatomus saltatrix, are caught by recreational and commercial fishers in coastal waters off New South Wales and Queensland. Juvenile tailor were subject to increasing fishing mortality in Moreton Bay (Queensland) in the mid 1980s. A tagging programme, involving State Government fisheries biologists and amateur fishing clubs, was established in 1986 to examine the movement, growth rate and fisheries exploitation of juvenile tailor (<270 mm fork length) in Moreton Bay. Of 2173 juvenile tailor tagged in Moreton Bay during February-July and December 1987, 237 were recaptured over a period of 30 months, representing a recapture rate of 11%. This was a high recapture rate compared with those in similar finfish tagging studies carried out in Moreton Bay. The recaptured fish moved relatively short distances (mean�s.d., 10.2 � 15.0 km; maximum distance, 85 km). Growth data were unreliable. Estuaries such as Moreton Bay function as nursery areas for tailor prior to their movement onto open surf beaches as adult fish. A legal minimum length for tailor was introduced on the basis of this study.

Full text

Abstract:

Moreton Bay is a large coastal embayment on the south-east Queensland coast which is surrounded by the urbanised areas of greater Brisbane on its western and southern shorelines. It is protected from the open coast by a number of islands, including South Stradbroke, North Stradbroke and Moreton Islands. Tropical cyclones occasionally track far enough south to cause significant damage to south-east Queensland due to flooding, winds, waves and elevated ocean water levels. Distant tropical cyclones which may be several hundred kilometres north of Moreton Bay have been known to cause storm surge, high waves and erosion inside Moreton Bay. These events generally do not generate gale force winds within Moreton Bay, but can generate large ocean swell waves. It has been identified that the wave conditions generated from distant cyclones can cause a variation in water levels inside Moreton Bay. A detailed study was undertaken to investigate the regional wave set-up process which affects Moreton Bay. The simulation of the residual water levels within Moreton Bay using a coupled hydrodynamic and wave model system developed for this study is considerably more accurate than applying a hydrodynamic model alone and explains water level anomalies that have a tidal frequency. The paper discusses the physical process of regional wave set-up inside a large embayment, analysis of observed residual water level and also the modelling study undertaken to quantify the influence of waves on storm tide levels inside Moreton Bay. The storm tide hazard study for the Moreton Bay Councils included the effects of regional wave set-up in the specification of design water levels.

Full text

Abstract:

During a helminthological examination of teleost fish of Moreton Bay (Qld, Australia), 976 fish from 13 orders, 57 families and 133 species were examined and nine species of trypanorhynch metacestodes were identified. Callitetrarhynchus gracilis (Rudolphi, 1819) was the most frequently encountered species, found in 16 species of fish, with Callitetrarhynchus speciosus (Linton, 1897), Pterobothrium pearsoni (Southwell, 1929), Otobothrium alexanderi Palm, 2004, Otobothrium mugilis Hiscock, 1954, Otobothrium parvum Beveridge & Justine, 2007, Proemotobothrium southwelli Beveridge & Campbell, 2001, Pseudotobothrium dipsacum (Linton, 1897) and Heteronybelinia cf. heteromorphi Palm, 1999 occurring in fewer host species and at lower prevalences. Comparisons are made with studies elsewhere in the world and specifically within the South-west Pacific. Of the best studied regions in the South-west Pacific (Heron Island, Lizard Island, New Caledonia and now Moreton Bay), the fauna from Moreton Bay was found to be the most distinctive, with fauna from the three reef locations sharing 35–48% of species between sites and just 12–24% with Moreton Bay. The fauna of trypanorhynch cestodes from Lizard Island and New Caledonia was found to be the most similar.

Full text

Abstract:

Dugong abundances in Moreton Bay (south-east Queensland) were estimated during six bi-monthly aerial surveys throughout 1995. Sampling intensity ranged between 20 and 80% for different sampling zones within the Bay, with a mean intensity of 40.5%. Population estimates for dugongs were corrected for perception bias (the proportion of animals visible in the transect that were missed by observers), and standardised for availability bias (the proportion of animals that were invisible due to water turbidity) with survey and species-specific correction factors. Population estimates for dugongs in Moreton Bay ranged from 503 ± 64 (s.e.) in July to 1019 ± 166 in January. The highest uncorrected count was 857 dugongs in December. This is greater than previous population estimates, suggesting that either previous surveys have underestimated abundance and/or that this population may have increased through recruitment, immigration, or a combination of both. The high degree of variation in population estimates between surveys may be due to temporal differences in distribution and herding behaviour. In winter, dugongs were found in smaller herds and were dispersed over a wider area than in summer. The Eastern Banks region of the bay supported 80–98% of the dugong population at any one time. Within this region, there were several dugong 'hot spots' that were visited repeatedly by large herds. These 'hot spots' contained seagrass communities that were dominated by species that dugongs prefer to eat. The waters of Rous Channel, South Passage and nearby oceanic waters are also frequently inhabited by dugongs in the winter months. Dugongs in other parts of Moreton Bay were at much lower densities than on the Eastern Banks.

Full text

Abstract:

The genetic structure of M. bennettae populations from six locations on the east coast of Australia was investigated using starch-gel electrophoresis. Eight polymorphic loci (fumarate hydratase, glucose- 6-phosphate isomerase, malate dehydrogenase-1 and -2, mannose-6-phosphate isomerase, octanol dehydrogenase, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and phosphoglucomutase) were examined. All loci over the six sites were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Although low levels of variation typical of penaeid prawns were found, the contingency Χ2 analysis of allele frequencies over all locations revealed considerable genetic heterogeneity. However, pairwise comparisons of adjacent locations showed that most of this genetic heterogeneity was largely attributable to the Moreton Bay-Lake Macquarie comparison. These two locations are the most widely separated adjacent sample sites. Replicate samples from 1982 and 1983 revealed consistency in allele frequencies at Moreton Bay and at Lake Macquarie. These results confirm previously reported genetic heterogeneity between Queensland and New South Wales populations of M. bennettae, but they do not support the report that nearby populations in both Queensland and New South Wales are also heterogeneous.

Full text

Abstract:

Bushrangers Cave is the oldest mainland archaeological site so far discovered in the Moreton Region of southeast Queensland. Occupation began approximately 6000 years ago, at a time when the rising seas flooded Moreton Bay and reached their present levels. Several researchers have suggested that after the infilling of the Bay food resources were more plentiful, and that during the last 6000 years there was population growth and a restructuring of Aboriginal society (Hall 1982, 1986; Morwood 1986). At least some of these changes should be visible at Bushrangers Cave and Hall (1986:101) has argued that economic and social reorganization may be reflected in the procurement of stone material by the knappers who left stone artefacts in the cave. Indications that stone from the vicinity of the cave may have been transported some distance during the late Holocene raise similar possibilities (Bird et al 1987). Exploratory excavations and preliminary analysis of the recovered artefacts was reported by Hall (1986), who demonstrated that changes in artefact frequency and raw material type did occur. Further radiocarbon dates and more detailed investigations of the artefactual assemblage are presented in this paper. While a more complete understanding of the site will require the excavation of a larger area, the data described below enable some preliminary conclusions to be drawn about chronological change in stone procurement, stoneworking technology and the nature and intensity of occupation.

Full text

Abstract:

Correlations between water quality parameters and seagrass depth penetration were developed for use as a biological indicator of integrated light availability and long-term trends in water quality. A year-long water quality monitoring programme in Moreton Bay was coupled with a series of seagrass depth transects. A strong gradient between the western (landward) and eastern (seaward) portions of Moreton Bay was observed in both water quality and seagrass depth range. Higher concentrations of chlorophyll a, total suspended solids, dissolved and total nutrients, and light attenuation coefficients in the water column and correspondingly shallower depth limits of the seagrass Zostera capricorni were observed in the western portions of the bay. Relatively high correlation coefficient values (r2 > 0.8) were observed between light attenuation coefficient, total suspended solids, chlorophyll a, total Kjeldahl nitrogen and Zostera capricorni depth range. Low correlation coefficient values (r2 < 0.8) between seagrass depth range and dissolved inorganic nutrients were observed. Seagrasses had disappeared over a five-year period near the mouth of the Logan River, a turbid river with increased land use in its watershed. At a site 9 km from the river mouth, a significant decrease in seagrass depth range corresponded to higher light attenuation, chlorophyll a, total suspended solids and total nitrogen content relative to a site 21 km from the river mouth. Seagrass depth penetration thus appears to be a sensitive bio-indicator of some water quality parameters, with application for water quality management.

Full text

Abstract:

Two new species of small hydromedusae were found during routine monitoring in coastal waters of eastern Australia and are here described. The first,MelicertissaantrichardsoniUribe-Palomino & Gershwin,sp. n., from Moreton Bay, Queensland, is placed in its genus because of its possession of both cordyli and eight-fold symmetry. It differs from its congeners in two conspicuous features: firstly, having small, oval split gonads located adjacent to the base of the stomach, and secondly, in its extremely small size at maturity (2 mm bell diameter, compared to the next smallest species at 7 mm). Moreover, it possesses a unique combination of other characters. This species appears to be endemic to Moreton Bay. The second new species,ParaloveniayongalensisGershwin & Uribe-Palomino,sp. n., from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, is placed in its genus because of its two opposite normal tentacles and two opposite marginal clusters of cirri. It differs from its congeners primarily in a more rounded body than the others; the shape, length, and position of its short spindle-shaped, distal gonads; possession of subumbrellar nematocyst clusters; and possession of statocysts. These discoveries bring the total number ofMelicertissaspecies to eight and the total number ofParaloveniaspecies to three. The discovery of these two micromedusae underscores the need for further examination of the often-ignored minute and/or gelatinous fauna.

Abstract:

As the great antiquity of human settlement in Australia becomes clear, so does the distinctive character of human adaptation in the continent. In particular, the Holocene transformation of the Australian climate led to patterns of human ecology with some characteristics of their own, and some common to regions where the Holocene changes led on to agricultural societies. Here is a case-study in that Australian history.

Abstract:

Australian tanaidacean specimens from two extensive collections have been analyzed based on material collected from the Bass Strait and slope in the 1970s to 1980s and held in the collections of the Museum Victoria, Melbourne, along with material collected during the Thirteenth International Marine Biological Workshop around Moreton Bay, Queensland, in 2005. A number of new parapseudid taxa were discovered, including one common to both collections. These taxa, representing three species of Pakistanapseudes, one of Saltipedis and one of a genus new to science, Remexudes, are described in the present paper. In addition, the finding of further material of P. australianus in Moreton Bay has allowed supplementary description of that species. An identification key to the Australian species of Pakistanapseudes is given. The concept of high diversity of Tanaidacea in the Australian fauna is reinforced; the apparent sympatric distribution of congeneric species is accounted for by habitat differences.

Full text

Abstract:

In-water monitoring of marine vertebrates is usually expensive while the use of stranding data can be used to provide a cost-effective estimation of disease and mortality. Strandings for Queensland are recorded in a web based database (StrandNet) managed by the Queensland Government’s Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP). Data recorded in StrandNet from the east coast of Queensland between 1996 and 2013 were investigated for patterns of stranding. Significant trends in Queensland over this time were (i) an increase in the number of animals reported stranded within this study site; (ii) a species (loggerhead and green marine turtles) prevalence; (iii) a seasonal effect on different age classes stranding with most overall strandings occurring between August and November; and (iv) stranding hotspots (Moreton Bay, Hervey Bay, Rockhampton region, and Cleveland Bays) persisting throughout the study timeframe. This study suggested that intervention strategies, such as rehabilitation, should be able to be focussed on periods of heightened importance and specific localities to minimize health risks and contribute to sustainable use of resources.

This preliminary comparison explores the role and experiences of detachments of the British Army’s 99th Regiment on three different colonial frontiers during the 1840s transitional period: the end of convict transportation and the opening of free settlement in Moreton Bay in 1842–48; the short-lived North Australia colony (later Gladstone) in 1847; and New Zealand’s North Island in 1845–47.

Abstract:

The first European community in Queensland, the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement, was established in 1824 and continued until 1842 when the area was opened up to free settlers. In the official records of the time there is little mention of the health of children, although the presence of a small number is noted. It is only possible to speculate which diseases were prevalent among the young. Epidemics of ophthalmia, presumably trachoma, dysentery and intermittent fever were recorded in the adult population and, as these conditions were infectious, undoubtedly children would have been included amongst their victims. At the time, one death for twenty-two live births was recorded, a comparatively low infant mortality rate. This may have been because the young population was so small and the children were isolated from the epidemics of childhood disease which occurred in Sydney in the same period.

Abstract:

Within the last decade a general model of Aboriginal subsistence and settlement has emerged for coastal southeast Queensland. Investigations have concentrated in two areas, Fraser Island (Devitt 1979, Lauer 1977, 1979) and Moreton Bay (Alfredson 1983, 1984, Crooks 1982, Draper 1978, Hall 1980, 1982a, 1984, Hall and Robins 1984, Richardson 1979, 1984, Robins 1983, Robins and Hall 1981, Stockton 1974, Walters 1980). The general ethnohistorical and archaeological scenario for these two areas suggests semi-permanent coastal settlement with a subsistence orientation to marine protein resources (Devitt 1979, Hall 1982). The coastal archaeological record between these two areas however remains virtually unknown.

Abstract:

A coupled hydrodynamic water-quality model of Moreton Bay was developed to enable better management of nutrient loads and to predict eutrophication-related problems. The hydrodynamic submodel was calibrated to available tidal data, and the transport submodel was calibrated to a salinity dataset. A 15-month time-series of field data was used together with historical data to calibrate and validate the water-quality submodel. Model simulations suggest that denitrification removes over half the external N inputs with about one-third exported to the open ocean. Approximately 8% of N and 20% of the P loading accumulates in the sediments. Short-term variations due to hydrodynamic effects tend to mask the seasonal cycle in phytoplankton biomass except at inshore localities. The model predictions confirm the field data that indicate that water quality in the western bay is severely affected while the better flushed eastern region remains relatively unaffected. Future increases in nutrient loading due to population pressure are predicted to extend the severely affected region eastwards. Over most of the bay, algal productivity is N-limited except for the western margins where nutrients are saturating and light availability regulates growth. Model hindcasts suggest that system-wide mean algal production has increased by a factor of ten since European settlement.

Abstract:

The sounds produced by bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, and Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, Sousa chinensis, were recorded on 11 days from 3 April to 13 August 1990 in Moreton Bay, eastern Australia. Twelve hours and 34 minutes of sound were recorded. The physical structure of whistles was described using a variable for duration and seven variables for frequency. Data were subjected to principal components analysis (PCA) and canonical discriminant analysis (CDA). PCA demonstrated the range of whistle contours recorded. CDA demonstrated differences in the whistles between species. Humpback dolphin whistles differed in shape (frequency modulation) and were generally of shorter duration and higher overall frequency than those of bottlenose dolphin whistles.

Abstract:

This paper reports the commencement of the first mark-recapture program for a dugong (Dugong dugon) population. Moreton Bay, south-east Queensland supported a D. dugon population of more than 800 individuals in 1996 and is close to an urban centre, Brisbane. Several features of this population make a mark-recapture program feasible: a large resident population concentrated over a small and predictable area, a relatively clear water habitat, animals regularly exposed to boating traffic, and an efficient capture method. Fifty-four D. dugon were captured using the ?rodeo? method and tagged. Tags applied included a long-term dorsal PIT tag, a titanium turtle tag, fluke notch and temporary paint stick mark. For each D. dugon, body length, anal girth and gender were recorded. D. dugon were biopsied for genetic (microsatellite) analysis. Faecal samples were obtained for reproductive hormone assays. This program has the potential to yield information on trends in population size and distribution, population dynamics, mating strategies, social structure and general health of the population. This is the first season of a long-term project.

AbstractThis research examines the role that fear of sharks has played in the history of St Helena Island Moreton Bay, Queensland through analysis of historical records, newspapers, photographs and literature. The article begins with Aboriginal histories of St Helena Island, colonial settlement of the region and the building of a quarantine station. An exploration of the ways in which settlers’ fear of sharks supported the detention of prisoners in the St Helena Island Penal Establishment follows. The research finds that the warders’ shark-proof swimming enclosure on St Helena Island (1916) records a time when Queensland communities were first seeking to manage the recreational demands of swimmers in the context of a growing public fear of sharks.

Abstract:

Identification of threats is a standard component of conservation planning and the ability to rank threats may improve the allocation of scarce resources in threat-mitigation programs. For vulnerable and endangered sea turtles in Australia, vessel strike is recognised as an important threat but its severity relative to other threats remains speculative. Documented evidence for this problem is available only in stranding records collected by the Queensland Environment Protection Authority. With the authority’s support we assessed the scope and quality of the data and analysed vessel-related records. We found adequate evidence that during the period 1999–2002 at least 65 turtles were killed annually as a result of collisions with vessels on the Queensland east coast. This level of mortality appears broadly comparable to that recorded in the Queensland East Coast Trawl Fishery before the introduction of mandatory turtle-exclusion devices in that fishery. Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) comprised the majority of vessel-related records, followed by loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), and 72% of cases concerned adult or subadult turtles. The majority of vessel-related records came from the greater Moreton Bay area, followed by Hervey Bay and Cleveland Bay. The waters of all three areas are subject to variable levels of commercial and recreational vessel traffic, and their shores are both populated and unpopulated.

Abstract:

The water quality of Moreton Bay, a sub-tropical estuarine embayment in south-eastern Queensland, was monitored over a 2-year period. Surveys in situ and ground-truthed satellite imagery were used to describe the temporal and spatial variability in water-quality indicators and the level of eutrophication. Strong east–west gradients in chlorophyll α and water clarity were found. During the study period fluvial discharges, which all enter on the western littoral, were below their long-term averages, and nutrient loading to the bay was dominated by point-source wastewater discharges along the western boundary. The data suggest that although the impact of nutrient loads on the bay’s eastern side is mitigated by tidal intrusion of oceanic water, the western areas are already degraded and can be considered mesotrophic to eutrophic. This part of the bay may deteriorate further with the projected future population expansion in the bay’s catchment.

Full text

Abstract:

Blooms of Lyngbya majuscula have been increasingly recorded in the waters of Moreton Bay, on the south-east coast of Queensland, Australia. The influences of these blooms on sediment infauna and the implications for sediment biogeochemical processes was studied. Sediment samples were taken from Moreton Bay banks during and after the bloom season. The deposition of L. majuscula seems to be responsible for the higher total Kjedahl nitrogen (TKN) concentrations measured during the bloom period. Total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations did not change. Lyngbya majuscula blooms had a marked influence on the meiobenthos. Nematodes, copepods and polychaetes were the most abundant groups of meiofauna, and the bloom produced a decrease in the abundance and a change in the sediment depth distribution of these organisms. The distribution of nematodes, copepods and polychaetes in sediment became shallower. Further, the bloom did not affect the abundance and distribution of polychaetes as strongly as it did copepods and nematodes. The changes observed in the distribution of meiofauna in the sediment during the bloom period indicate that L. majuscula produces oxygen depletion in sediments, and that different fauna seem to be affected to different degrees.

Abstract:

Cathedral Cave is a large rockshelter site in the uplands of southeast central Queensland. In 1975 I excavated a sample of the site as part of a study into the regional prehistory of this remote part of Queensland. At that time, archaeological data of any kind for the state of Queensland was at a premium. At 1,727,000kmÂ², Queensland takes up about as much of the world's surface as do France, Italy, Spain, and Germany combined. Yet, by the early 1970's in this northeastern tropical and sub-tropical one-fifth of the Australian continent we had not quite a handful of archaeological studies. In 1963 R.V.S. Wright (1971) had broken ground in a rockshelter at Mushroom Rock, near Laura, on the spine of the Cape York Peninsula, and had also determined the human genesis of the massive shell mounds at Albatross Bay in the gulf waters of the west coast of the Peninsula. Laila Haglund (1976) had worked for several seasons during the years 1965 through 1968 at the Broadbeach cemetery site in the far southeastern corner of Queensland, and the years of 1960, 1962 and 1964 had seen John Mulvaney's classic excavations in the south-central Queensland highlands (Mulvaney and Joyce 1965). It would be a decade, and later, before these pioneering studies would be followed by regional reconnaissance and excavations programs such as those of Geoff Bailey (1977) who in 1972 followed on from Wright's work at Albatross Bay, my own in 1974 through 1977 in the southeastern uplands (Beaton 1977, 1982, 1991 - this volume, Beaton and Walsh 1977), Michael Morwood on the western slopes of the Dividing range (Morwood 1979, 1980, 1981), Jay Hall and associates in the Moreton Bay area (Hall 1982, Hall and Hiscock 1988), and John Campbell (Campbell 1982) in the northeast.

Full text

Abstract:

Mating activity in a southern Queensland population of S. serrata was at a maximum level in mid-spring and late summer-early autumn. Spawning activity, as indicated by the incidence of spent females, began early in spring and ended in early autumn while water temperatures exceeded approximately 22�C. Nevertheless, ovary condition was apparently held constant during the colder non-spawning half of the year. Ovary condition was not correlated with either ovary coloui or crab size.

Full text

Abstract:

Water samples were collected within river mouths, at river plume sites and at well flushed ocean-influenced sites within Moreton Bay, a shallow subtropical embayment in south-eastern Queensland. Rates of inorganic nitrogen (NH+4 and NO-3) and carbon uptake were determined across temporal and spatial scales by use of 15N and 14C incorporation. Phytoplankton productivity, measured as CO2 uptake, was highest at the river mouths. Rates of NH+4 uptake exceeded rates of NO-3 uptake at all sites at all times. Relative preference indices demonstrated a consistent preference by phytoplankton for NH+4 uptake, and NH+4 uptake rates were higher at ocean-influenced sites than at river-mouth sites. Inorganic nutrient and chlorophyll a concentrations were highest at river mouths; however, the greatest NH+4 uptake occurred at the ocean-influenced sites, reflecting a greater dependence on ‘recycled’ N than on ‘new’ N. Biomass-independent NH+4 uptake increased with increasing water temperature; however, NO-3 uptake increased with decreasing water temperature, reflecting the lower temperature optimum for nitrate reductase. The range of NH+4 and NO-3 uptake rates was greater than ranges reported for other coastal waters, reflecting the strong temporal and spatial gradients within Moreton Bay. This trend of strong gradients in C and N dynamics from oligotrophic to river-influenced waters with seasonal flows is likely to exist in many tropical and subtropical coastal waters of Australia.

Abstract:

Assessments of suites of material culture items have often been used to characterize various aspects of human behaviour and cultural development. This has particularly been the case with regard to assessments of prehistoric fisheries (e.g. Anell 1955, Reinman 1967, Kirch 1982, Colley 1983:4-7). This paper presents some observations on the material culture of Aboriginal fishing in and around Moreton Bay, southeast Queensland, which derive from written and oral history relating to the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They allow implications to be drawn about the way the fishery may have operated in the prehistoric period.

Abstract:

Laboratory and field trials of a modified Floy FD67 anchor tag were conducted on P. pelagicus in Moreton Bay, Queensland. The tags did not affect short-term survival of the crabs in the laboratory. Only 470 of 1754 crabs tagged and released in the field were returned. Return rates of crabs by size, sex, and area of tagging class were markedly heterogeneous. Poor visibility of the tags on recapture, regardless of their colour, makes this tag unsuitable for any quantitative population studies. Poor return rates were exacerbated by fishermen not examining categories of crabs that are unmarketable.
