It's a history book now that the streams have all dried up?

Not a very good attempt at humour tw.

Humor? What humor?

Aliantha · 10-13-2007, 09:56 PM

Oh so you were being serious?

Even more short sighted then.

Regardless of whether Australias water is drying up or not, there are still, and will be for the foreseeable future, fisheries in the country, the largest of which are salt water fisheries, which of course are affected by rainfall, but not as closely as fresh water fisheries, although that is arguable from some perspectives.

In any case I'm not the expert, my husband is, so if you're interested in fisheries management australian style, have a look at the book. Or don't. It's up to you.

Put me down for one!
Obviously I have no real interest in the subject, but I am sure Mr Aliantha has a fine mind and will deal competantly with the subject.

The only thing I remember about Australia/ water is watching a programme about birds once. I can't even remember clearly but I think it was pelicans. It was set in a lake that was so large the narrator kept calling it "a vast inland sea". At the end, some of the birds had their chicks too late, and the fish ran out (some sort of breeding cycle synchronised between fish & birds). The parents stayed as long as they could and were therefore too weak to migrate away. Cut to shot of dying birds, flapping on the shoreline. Ugly, ugly birds - I cried buckets.

Anyway, as you were.

The lake was probably Lake Eyre, a huge salt lake in the north of South Australia that is normally dry. Occasionally, heavy rains in South-western Queensland will flow through inland rivers and fill or partially fill the lake. Huge numbers of birds will promptly arrive (how do they know?) and fish will be there (damned if I know how) and the whole place is full of life ... until the water dries up ...

FWIW I thought tw's comment was mildly amusing. I make drought jokes when I can, not much else we can do about it.

"Out here, the drought got so bad we had to close three lanes of the swimming pool..."

Sundae · 10-14-2007, 05:28 AM

Yes! It WAS Lake Eyre!
My random anecdote is now less random

Very cool Ali! Looks more like a text book to me. I bet that took a long time to prepare. Tell him congrats.

Aliantha · 10-14-2007, 08:17 PM

Thanks guys. I'll let you know when it's ready to go. There will be signed copies available for those who want them.

Merc, it is a text book designed for Uni students, but it's also a reference book because there are no other comprehensive books available about fisheries in general in Australia.

I'm currently building a simple webpage which will feature the book on the home page, but it'll have links to Dazza's other papers etc with abstracts, which will be availble in pdf format on request.

Zen, yeah it was kinda funny in a not funny way (imo) but he said he wasn't trying to be funny, which means he was just being a pain. I'm wondering if he's jealous in some weird kind of cellar success distantly connected kind of way or something. Buggered if I know.

Aliantha · 10-15-2007, 08:08 AM

Here's the link to the website I've been working on today.

Don't forget to sign the guestbook.

If you wrote a book about husbands, you chose a strange title.

Aliantha · 10-15-2007, 06:42 PM
