Ok, so im going to
James Cook university, Townsville campus, in 29 days to do an 'internal selection program' test, if i pass that ill be in a 'tertiary access course' for 6 months full time study on campus, and then after that i can enter into a bachelor of science and go from there.. it seemed so much more complex before Thanks for your help! Im excited as!!! - Jeremy

Temat: Fish key to reef climate survival
...graze on invading plants played a vital role in the health of reef ecosystems.
Because sea temperatures are now a lot higher, they are now reaching the thresholds at which coral get into distress
"The Great Barrier Reef is still a resilient system... and herbivorous fish play a critical role in that regenerative capacity, by keeping the dead coral space free of algae, so that new juvenile coral can re-establish themselves," said Professor Terry Hughes from
James Cook University in Townsville.
His research group has conducted experiments which involved building cages to keep fish away from sections of reef.
They found that three times as much new coral developed in areas where the fish were present as in the caged portions.
Parrotfish in particular use their serrated jaws to scrape off incipient algae and plants.
More recently, his team has also identified the rabbit fish - a brown, bland-looking species - as...

...of Washington in Palo Alto, California. Dissolved in water, CO2 becomes carbonic acid. Caldeira coined a term for this process in a paper in 2003: "ocean acidification." By midcentury, ocean pH could dip so low that corals would be unable to form their calcium carbonate skeletons.
"Acidification is the big elephant in the room," says Terence Hughes, director of the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at
James Cook University in Townsville, Australia. Reef building would grind to a halt, with grievous implications. If CO2 emissions are not curtailed, Hughes predicts, "we'll eventually see reefs dominated by sea anemones and algae." Put another way, "soon we'll be having jellyfish and chips," says biologist Michael Kendall of the Plymouth Marine Laboratory in the United Kingdom. In the darkest scenarios, most corals will be toast.

Temat: Fish species plays surprise role in aiding reef recovery
...player in reef recovery after overfishing. In doing so, the study provides insight into the poorly understoodâÂÂand potentially complexâÂÂforces that influence the state of coral reefs under ecological stress. The work appears in the December 19th issue of the journal Current Biology, published by Cell Press, and is reported by David Bellwood, Terry Hughes, and Andrew Hoey of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at
James Cook University.
The worldâÂÂs tropical coral reefs are under threat from overfishing, habitat modification, and global warming. One of the most visible signs of a decline in the condition of coral reefs is the widely documented shift from a healthy state in which corals dominate to a weedy state in which algae (so-called âœmacro algae") dominate. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that this phase shift can be triggered by a loss of...

Temat: River Dolphin Closer to Extinction Despite Reports
...impossible for the dolphins to rebound so quickly, because their gestation period is 11 months and the animals generally only have one offspring every two years.
There are no dolphins from other areas that could have moved into the upper Mekong River once nets were removed, the researchers added.
"It's impossible that the dolphin population would have increased substantially in only one year," said Isabel Beasley, a Ph.D. candidate at Australia's
James Cook University who researched dolphins in the Mekong River from 2001 to 2005.
"The mortality [in recent years] is too high and 95 percent of dolphins in the river already occurred in the areas where the nets were banned."

Temat: Holy Seaweed! Batfish Save Reef
...nibbled disinterestedly at the algae, the batfish (Platax pinnatus) turned up and cleared the weed within two months.
"The surprising finding ... was that a different group of fish was responsible for reversing the algal bloom," Hughes said.
"Batfish are normally considered to be plankton feeders so we were amazed when we captured on video the effects those fish were having."
Chief investigator Professor David Bellwood of the CoECRS and
James Cook University said the batfish's voracious appetite for weed saved the coral from being choked to death.
"In five days they had halved the amount of weed. In eight weeks it was completely gone and the coral was free to grow unhindered," he said.
Bellwood said declining coastal mangroves serve as nurseries for batfish, which are found in reefs around the world.
This highlights the need to preserve mangroves and protect these accidental weed...

...for environmental disaster.
Doug Neil is one of a group of divers who are seeking out grey nurse sharks in deep waters around the Solitary Islands Marine Park on the NSW mid-north coast.
"It's just like watching them in an aquarium. The only big difference is that you're actually in the aquarium," he said.
He takes a dim view of shark fishing.
"I think it's disgusting. I think shark fin soup's overrated," he said.
Declining populations
James Cook University shark researcher Colin Simpfendorfer says there has been a severe decline in the numbers of some shark species.
"In fact, they quite often grow slowly, they mature late in life, they have a few number of young every few years and those sorts of thing limit the ability of sharks both to sustain fishing and to recover after fishing is taken away," he said.

Temat: How Many Minkes Are There?
...the minke whale numbers are much larger than the estimated world population of dugongs, which is about 100,000.
The number of minke whales killed annually by the Japanese, ostensibly for scientific research, is similar to the number of dugongs killed each year for food in the Torres Strait - about 1000.
Many more dugongs are killed for food - or when drowned in fishing nets or hit by motor boats - elsewhere in northern Australia, and in Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.
James Cook University researcher Ivan Lawler said a university study had concluded that in the Torres Strait, about 100 dugongs a year - 10 per cent of the current harvest - could be taken sustainably.
"Indigenous hunting is a pressure on the population that needs to be dealt with," Dr Lawler said.
Dugong expert Helene Marsh said six Torres Strait communities were implementing management plans for dugong hunting.

James Cook university in Aus (www.jcu.edu.au), Victoria University (www.vuw.ac.nz) and University of Otago (www.otago.ac.nz) in NZ are good places to start as well.

Temat: Magnet a day keeps shark away
Magnet a day keeps shark away RESEARCHERS in north Queensland have discovered that magnets can act as an effective tool to ward off sharks, but not necessarily for humans. In what is claimed to be a world-first, scientists from the Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries and
James Cook University have shown magnets can repel sharks. It is hoped the magnets will keep sharks out of fishing nets set for barramundi. Trials have been conducted in controlled conditions in Cairns. The research team will soon conduct field trials to determine the practical use of magnets in the gillnet fishery. The researchers do not believe the magnetic repulsion will prevent shark attacks on people. Source
