Projects

Influence of oceanography on macro-zooplankton off Western Australia
Opportunities exist for honours students to participate in various ongoing programmes associated with the Leeuwin Current and the Ningaloo and Kimberley regions. For example, there are potential projects on the ecology of poorly known, but abundant, pelagic animals such as salps, chaetognaths and pteropods.
