The distribution and zonation of intertidal organisms of rocky coasts in south eastern Australia

The intertidal flora and fauna of S.E. Australia (Robe, South Australia to S. New South Wales, including Tasmania) is described in terms of its horizontal and vertical distribution. A detailed account of intertidal zonation, on the central Victorian coast and Bass Strait islands, is included. Environmental features are discussed and sea temperature data for Pt. Lonsdale is presented. / Analysis of the marine flora in S.E. Australia suggests that the concept of separate biogeographic provinces in this region is invalid and the flora is best interpreted as a continuum.
