Port Phillip Bay Survey 1957–1963. Sessile barnacles Thoracica, Cirripedia

Seagrass Resilience in Port Phillip Bay

Two new species of scalpelliform barnacles (Cirripedia: Thoracica) from the Plio-Pleistocene of Cotentin, northwest France.

Two new species of pedunculate cirripede are described from the Plio-Pleistocene of Cotentin, northwest France. Scalpellum carentanensis sp. nov. is only the third species of this genus to be recorded from Pliocene strata in Europe. It is characterised by a triangular tergum with an apico-basal fold, without an outward extension, the inner surface of which has the raised part marked by wide gro...

A checklist of the barnacles (Crustacea: Cirripedia: Thoracica) of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman with nine new records.

The present annotated checklist contains 43 species of thoracican barnacles known to date from the area, 33 and 26 from the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, respectively. Nine species are new records for the area including Amphibalunus subalbidus (Henry, 1973), Armatobalanus allium (Darwin, 1854), Chelonibia patula (Ranzani, 1818), Conchoderma hunteri (Owen, 1830), Lepas anserifera Linnaeus, ...

Assimilation of sea-surface temperature into a hydrodynamic model of Port Phillip Bay, Australia

Hydrodynamic models can predict states of interest to the coastal engineer, however, due to uncertainties in the model physics, model parameters, initial conditions, and model forcing data, large errors in prediction often result. To counter this, an ensemble sequential data assimilation scheme has been applied to the Model for Estuaries and Coastal Oceans (MECO), to constrain model predicted w...

Modelling the effect of proposed channel deepening on the tides in Port Phillip Bay

The Victorian State Government is investigating a proposal to deepen the channels into Port Phillip Bay in order to bring larger ships into the Bay. The Port of Melbourne Corporation, the Victorian State Government authority responsible for the channel deepening, concluded that the largest increase in tidal height due to the channel deepening will be eight mm. We independently study the effect ...
