Key research
- Fiona Valesini – Quantification of different habitat types
in the metropolitan Swan River Estuary.
- Steeg Hoeksema and Fiona Valesini - Comparisons of fish
faunas at present (2003 onwards) with those recorded in 1977-1981, in
order to elucidate the extent of any changes in the compositions of those
faunas and the likely factors causing such changes.
- Michelle Wildsmith - Determination of benthic macroinvertebrate
assemblages in the Swan River Estuary, and comparisons of such assemblages
in the nearby Peel-Harvey Estuary during the present day and during the
early 1980s.
- Tash Coen – Determination of the main factors influencing
the compositions of hyperbenthic invertebrate faunas in the Swan River
Estuary.
- Matt Hourston – Examination of the composition of the nematode
and other meiofaunal elements in different habitat types in the Swan River
Estuary.
- Thea Linke and Margaret Platell – Determination of
trophic interrelationships, using traditional and highly sophisticated
techniques, in the upper Swan Estuary, with a view to elucidating the
likely impact of algal blooms and resultant fish kills on the food webs
in this estuary.
