The abundance and distribution of Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Doubtful Sound

Williams, Jamelia A (Thesis, Master of Science, 1992)

Photographic identification and standardised survey techniques were used to study the bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand, an environment in complete contrast to those in which previous studies of this species ...

Oxygen consumption in six species of chitons in relation to their position on the shore.

Murdoch, Robin C (Dissertation, Bachelor of Science with Honours, 1979)

Introduction: Animals within the intertidal zone are subjected to physical and chemical stresses as a consequence of exposure and immersion by the tide. These stresses include fluctuations in temperature, salinity and ...

The Karitane Canyon : a submarine valley cut into the Otago continental shelf

Gray, Fiona L (Thesis, Master of Science, 1993)

High resolution sub-bottom reflection seismic profiles, sediment sample analysis and visual observation of the Karitane Canyon are correlated with multichannel seismics, known sediment distribution patterns and information ...

Cadmium and zinc in Greenshell® mussels, Perna Canaliculus, from Pelorus Sound, Marlborough, New Zealand

Arkless, Brigid Ruth (Thesis, Master of Science, 2005)

Pelorus Sound, Marlborough is the current centre of aquaculture in New Zealand. The main mariculture species of the area is the Greenshell® mussel, Perna canaliculus. To ensure that mussels grown in Marlborough can be ...

Habitat use, reproduction and survival: a comparative study of bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound

Henderson, Shaun David (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013)

In 2007 the bottlenose dolphins of Doubtful Sound were reported to have been in decline for the previous 12 years. To identify and isolate potential causal factors, I began a comparative study of the resident populations ...

Social organisation, behaviour and population parameters of Bottlenose Dolphins in Doubtful Sound, Fiordland

Haase, Patricia Ann (Thesis, Master of Science, 2000)

Bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound represent a unique opportunity for a relatively long-term study of wild, known individuals near the southern extent of their worldwide range, and unaffected by incidental mortality. ...

Behaviour and ecology of bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound, Fiordland, New Zealand

Schneider, Karsten (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 1999)

On 353 days during three years of fieldwork from 1994 to 1997 in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand I collected data on abundance, body proportions, seasonal movements, diving behaviour, surface behaviour and association patterns ...

Temporal variation of UV-B: photo-protection and photo-damage in intertidal organisms from the New Zealand coast

Cubillos, Victor Mauricio (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013)

Intertidal ecosystems are characterized by periodic variations in the water column throughout tidal cycles, a situation that can induce changes in the physiological balance of organisms that live there. If low tide occurs ...

The acoustic behaviour of resident bottlenose dolphins in Fiordland, New Zealand

Boisseau, Oliver J (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005)

The bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus is an extremely well-studied species. We have an extensive knowledge of certain aspects of their vocal behaviour, particularly from captive contexts. Bottlenose dolphins produce a ...

Habitats and macroinvertebrate fauna of the reef-top of Rarotonga, Cook Islands : implications for fisheries and conservation management

Drumm, Darrin Jared (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005)

Throughout the Pacific, many species of echinoderms and molluscs have cultural value and are harvested extensively in subsistence fisheries. Many of these species are sedentary and often associated with distinct reef-top ...

Age, growth, movement and reproductive biology of blue cod (Parapercis colias - Pinguipedidae) : implications for fisheries management in the South Island of New Zealand
