City Under the Sea Fishes of the Poor Knights Islands Portrait of a community of
fishes arranged in ecological groupings: hunters; plankton feeders;
herbivores; bottom kissers, browsers, grazers and stalkers- this book goes
beyond the I.D. function of most fish books to examine their lives and
relationships in detail. Based upon years of diver observation it has value
for fish watchers everywhere. |

The Cliff Dwellers- Poor Knights Inverts Phylum by phylum Wade Doak
describes the main groups of invertebrate inhabitants of the Poor Knights
Islands, a picture which is a blue print for understanding marine life on
undersea cliffs anywhere in the world. An Australian college lecturer once
said of this text: "It could be called "Beneath South Australian Seas." |

A Year at the Poor Knights Wade Doak draws on records
back to 1968 to provide a monthly picture of changing events in the Poor
Knights year, from the spawnings of fish and nudibranchs, to the arrival
times of giant salps, paper nautilus, stingrays, grouper and other visitors.
Detailed accounts of major episodes along with 'what's happening this month’
timetables. |

Early Days at the Knights From 1963 to 1974 Wade Doak
edited and published the early magazine DIVE. From its pages he has culled a
sequence of facsimile articles by diving pioneer Kelly Tarlton, Roger Grace,
himself and others that take us through the history of exploration at the
Knights. (No text download-all jpegs.) |
