WAMSI Node 1.1.3 - Rates of Ecological Processes (Controlled Feeding Experiments)

We attempted to asses the potential for using stable isotopes as a tool for rapid assessment of trophic interactions in a nearshore benthic ecosystem in Western Australia. The information gained from this experiment will help us to refine our use of stable isotopes, and contribute to efforts to develop "sharper" tools to achieve the ultimate goal of providing accurate characterisation of food webs, information sorely needed by managers of marine resources. A controlled laboratory scale feeding experiment with the gastropod, Turbo torquatus was conducted to assess the suitability of stable isotope analyses for diet inference. Seventy eight T.torquatus were fed enriched macroalgae (Ulva lactuca) to alter their natural isotopic profile (ä13C and ä15N) and then fed three locally occurring macroalgae (Ulva lactuca, Carpopeltis phyllophora, and Ecklonia radiate) over 17 weeks to assess how their isotopic profile reflected that of their diet. Feeding the enriched macroalgae (Ulva lactuca) to Turbo torquatus increased their carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios to very high levels after just 72 hours. Unfortunately even after 17 weeks of feeding on natural macroalgae (not enriched) the heavier isotope for both carbon and nitrogen was still retained in the muscle tissue of the gastropods. This suggests that the enrichment of Ulva lactuca appears to have been for too long or the concentration of 98% ä13C NaHCO3 and 98% ä15N NH4Cl was much too high.

GIS Layer: Sea Surface Dissolved Oxygen in the Australian Region

ESRI grids showing dissolved oxygen, linearly interpolated from CARS2000 mean and seasonal fields to 0.1 degree spaced grid, at depths of 0, 150, 500, 1000 and 2000 metres. The loess filter used to create CARS2000 resolves at each point a mean value and a sinusoid with 1 year period (and in some cases a 6 month period sinusoid - the "semi-annual cycle".) The provided "annual amplitude" is simply the magnitude of that annual sinusoid. CARS is a set of seasonal maps of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate and silicate, generated using Loess mapping from all available oceanographic data in the region. It covers the region 100-200E, 50-0S, on a 0.5 degree grid, and on 56 standard depth levels. Higher resolution versions are also available for the Australian continental shelf. The data was obtained from the World Ocean Atlas 98 and CSIRO Marine and NIWA archives. It was designed to improve on the Levitus WOA98 Atlas, in the Australian region. CARS2000 is derived from ocean cast data, which is always measured above the sea floor. However, for properties which do not change rapidly near the sea floor, this would not lead to a significant error. All the limitations of CARS2000 also apply here.

Surface sampling data from merchant vessels, Tasman Sea 1952-1960 (published data)

These data, reported in various volumes of CSIRO's "Oceanographic Station List" series between 1955 and 1962, comprise mainly measurements of surface temperature, salinity (as chlorinity), and (in later stages) phosphate from sea surface samples collected by the merchant ship TSMV "Wanganella" on regular runs between Sydney and Auckland or Wellengton, New Zealand. Sampling began in December 1952 and was still in progress December 1960, the last date for which data were published in this series. The merchant vessel sampling program was carried out at a time when the CSIRO Division of Fisheries had no dedicated ocean-going research vessel, as a means of acquiring information about offshore waters. In the volumes cited, similar data are also reported from the Coral Sea, south-eastern Australian waters and Bass Strait, and the south-east Indian Ocean.

GEOMACS (Geological and Oceanographic Model of Australias Continental Shelf) Trimmed mean

Geoscience Australias GEOMACS model was utilised to produce hindcast hourly time series of continental shelf (~20 to 300 m depth) bed shear stress (unit of measure: Pascal, Pa) on a 0.1 degree grid covering the period March 1997 to February 2008 (inclusive). The hindcast data represents the combined contribution to the bed shear stress by waves, tides, wind and density-driven circulation. The trimmed mean is simply the arithmetic mean calculated excluding a percentage of the highest and lowest values in the distribution. On this occasion the highest and lowest 25% of model observations were excluded for the calculation. The geometric mean was used alongside the trimmed mean to provide a more robust representation of the bulk of the values than the arithmetic mean would have provided (Hughes and Harris 2008). This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub and is hosted temporarily by CMAR on behalf of Geoscience Australia.

CCS - MV Bluefin 2017 V01 Smith McIntyre Grab Sediments

Project Overview:  A range of solutions will be required to reach globally agreed emissions reductions targets for carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is part of the suite of technologies that will contribute to lowering atmospheric emissions of CO2 from Australia's energy system. There are a wide variety of technologies at various stages of technical and commercial readiness, with more development underway for cost effective CO2 capture and storage. Our research will provide new knowledge to inform cost-efficient measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV) of the environment of CCS projects in coastal waters.
--o--
The Smith MacIntyre Grab is designed to collect ocean sediment with a sampling area of 0.1m sq. This grab is mounted on a stainless steel frame suspended from a pair of lowering cables (bridles) attached to the bucket arms. Springs activated by a trigger mechanism, released when the foot plates come into contact with the ocean floor, force the bucket jaws into the sediment in order to collect the sample. Safety features have been fitted to the grab to prevent the tripping mechanism from being triggered prematurely. Screens have also been fitted to the tops of the buckets, along with silicone flaps, to prevent sediment from being washed out during retrieval. CSIRO.
Sediment samples were collected during BLU201701. The samples were sent from Hobart, TAS to Kensington, WA for analyses on 26 February 2018.

Aquafin CRC Salmon Project - Process Study 1- Sediment Trap Survey - Huon Estuary - April 2005

Process Study 1 was undertaken between 12-14 April 2005 in the Huon Estuary offshore from Hideaway Bay. During this Process Study, two sediment traps were deployed at each of two sites (near sites P3 and P4 from the spatial survey) on the bottom for 24 hours.Prior to the deployment of the traps surface sediment samples were collected with a benthic grab from each site. Each sediment trap consisted of three collection tubes, material from each tube was filtered on 47 mm GFF filters, with several filters required to filter all of the particualte matter from each tube. Combined filters from each of two tubes labeled A and B (typically 3 filters for each tube) were extracted for lipid analysis. Tube C was used either for isotopes or Fauna indent.
