Brief description
A short-term sampling programme in Princess Royal Harbour aimed to compare the mobile macrofauna of a shallow eutrophic seagrass habitat (Posidonia australis) with an adjacent sand habitat. In addition, the mobile macrofauna of an apparently oligotrophic seagrass habitat (Posidonia sinuosa) in King George Sound with an adjacent sand habitat. Species diversity and abundance of fish, macro-crustaceans and molluscs among habitats were also investigated. This sampling was carried out on series of nights between 15th and 25th January 1988.Full description
