Underwater Imagery Reveals Bryozoan Habitat in Western Port, South‐East Australia
Bryozoan habitats throughout the world and in Australia are rare, unique and fragile ecosystems at risk of anthropogenic disturbance. Here we describe new bryozoan habitats in Western Port, an Australian RAMSAR site near Melbourne, which do not feature in previous ecological descriptions and current habitat mapping available for the region.

Per os infectivity of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in white-legged shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and role of peritrophic membrane [PDF]
As earlier observations on peroral infectivity of WSSV in white-legged shrimp are conflicting, here, a standardized peroral intubation technique was used to examine (i) the role of the physical composition of the viral inoculum and (ii) the barrier ...

The density of the hermit crab, Paguristes ortmanni, in the artificial reef of juvenile Apostichopus japonicus increased almost threefold from June to December 2018. Calcareous ossicles of A. japonicus were identified from the stomach contents in 28.8% of the hermit crabs (18.6% in males and 10.2% in females) in December; season hatchery‐produced ...
