Introduction
Sydney Harbour is a drowned river valley that formed
during a rise in sea level approximately 10,000 years
ago. The entrance, between North and South Heads
(~33°50’S, 151°17’E), is about 3 km wide, with a depth of
30 m. The estuary then opens up into Port Jackson, which
is fed by three main branches, the Parramatta and Lane
Cove Rivers to the west and Middle Harbour to the north
(Figure 1). The estuary is about 30 km long with a surface
area of about 50 km2 and a total catchment of 500 km2
(Birch and McCready 2009). Most of the harbour (49.7
km2) is under tidal influence (Middleton et al. 1997).
The shores of Sydney Harbour are largely developed,
with 90% of the catchment urbanised. Sydney is
Australia’s largest city with a population of 4 million
people and all projections indicate it will continue to
grow. The original shoreline of Sydney Harbour has been

ABSTRACT
All records of crustaceans, molluscs, polychaetes, echinoderms and fishes from Sydney Harbour were
extracted from the Australian Museum database, and plotted onto a map of Sydney Harbour that was
divided into four regions. Records were analysed according to the number of species, genera and families
present and over 3000 species were recorded, approximately double to triple the number of species
found in the neighbouring Hawkesbury River, Botany Bay and Port Hacking. We examined the rate of
accumulation of records and species over time since the 1860s, which followed a stepwise pattern
usually correlated with the research activity of specific curators at the Australian Museum. The high
species richness of Sydney Harbour is probably the result of multiple factors including significant tidal
flushing and the high diversity of habitats present. Not all parts of the harbour have been well sampled,
however, and we highlight areas and habitats that should be prioritised for further biodiversity surveys.
An Appendix is provided listing all species in the five groups of animals considered here. The present
study highlights the remarkable richness of the Sydney Harbour fauna and provides a consolidated
background to guide future management and research, and emphasises the values of museum collections.

extensively modified since European settlement, with
the development of seawalls, removal of mangroves and
salt marshes, and small creeks now lined with concrete,
forming storm water drains (Figure 2). As an iconic
feature of the city, Sydney Harbour has strong aesthetic
values and is heavily used for recreational purposes, such
as sailing, swimming and fishing. Land values of water-
front property, especially east of the Harbour Bridge, are
among the highest in the world. Commercial fishing has
been totally banned from the harbour since 2006 due
partly to streamlining of commercial fishery licensing
and reported high levels of dioxins (http://www.dpi.
nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational/info/Sydney-closure),
although recreational fishing still occurs.
Thus, it is somewhat surprising that no comprehensive
examination of the biodiversity of Sydney Harbour has been
undertaken to date, given that Sydney is home to one of the
oldest natural history museums in the world (The Australian
Museum), five universities and, more recently, the Sydney
Institute of Marine Sciences (SIMS). Back in the 1880’s

cottage, was built on the foreshores of Sydney Harbour in
1881 for Russian scientist and explorer Nikolai Nikolaevich
de Miklouho-Maclay to study Australia’s marine environment.
Built of timber with sandstone foundations, the cottage is
typical of the practical colonial architecture of the time. It was
located at historic Camp Cove, where the First Fleet rested
for a night before landing at Sydney Cove. Miklouho-Maclay
worked at the Marine Biological Station for just four year s,
before returning to Russia where he died in 1888. After the
late 1880s until 2001 the cottage was a residence for army
officers. Today it is a private residence. Photo: courtesy of the

there was a marine station at Camp Cove which was built
for the Russian scientist and explorer Nikolai Nikolaevich de
Miklouho-Maclay to study Australia’s marine environment
(Figure 3). Prior to this he had been invited by William
John Macleay to live at Elizabeth Bay House and to use
its small laboratory. The New South Wales Government
provided 300 pounds towards the cost of construction
with Nikolai Nikolaevich de Miklouho-Maclay raising the
remainder of the money through donations to the station
which was built in 1881. This Russian scientist also visited
the Australian Museum and we are confident that some
specimens collected from this station were subsequently
deposited in the Australian Museum.
Sydney Harbour is much less known than other estuaries
in Australia such as Port Phillip Bay and Moreton Bay,
or overseas estuaries, such as San Francisco Bay and
Chesapeake Bay in the USA. To provide a baseline
for guiding future management and research, we have
examined the Australian Museum databases of fishes and
four numerically dominant marine invertebrate groups to
begin to document the diversity of Sydney Harbour.
The Australian Museum collections date back to at least
1828. The earliest documented fish record from the
harbour is from 1878, but many undated records may be
older. Among the molluscs, the earliest records are from
1860, 1882 for crustaceans and 1885 for both polychaetes
and echinoderms. Australian Museum staff have actively
collected material over the decades from Port Jackson as
shown in Figures 4 and 5 (McNeil and Musgrave 1926).
Previous attempts to compile faunal lists of the harbour
were undertaken for fishes by Franz Steindachner
(1866) and invertebrates by Thomas Whitelegge (1889).
Steindachner, of Vienna, dealt with 71 species, describing
21 as new (Saunders 2012), including the Eastern Sea
Garfish, Hyporhamphus australis and the Eastern Pomfred,
Schuettea scalaripinnis. Whitelegge was a curator at the
Australian Museum and assembled all the known data
from the literature and the collections. Relevant here is
that he recorded 112 species of echinoderms and while
stating that the other groups were present, he indicated
that much work remained to be done on these groups.
Thus, the aims of this study are to provide the most up-to-
date summary of the harbour fauna. The present study
compiles all the Australian Museum records (plus a small
number of photographic records) from Sydney Harbour
of polychaetes, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms and
fishes; documents and broadly evaluates the distribution
of species within the harbour, and identifies areas of the
harbour that have been poorly sampled.
Methods
All Australian Museum database records from the Sydney
region of polychaetes, crustaceans, echinoderms, molluscs
and fishes were extracted (23 December 2011). Less diverse
groups of marine invertebrates, such as sponges, bryozoans
and cnidarians, having relatively few collection records,
were not included. Geographic Information Systems
software (ArcMap; ESRI) was used to select records that
were within Sydney Harbour according to the blue polygon
in Figure 1a. Many records, especially early ones, have
imprecise position data, so including records on surrounding
land helped ensure records with low positional accuracy
were included. Terrestrial and freshwater species were
manually removed as well as those where the collection
locality description suggested they were collected close to,
but outside of the study area, such as Manly Beach and
Shelly Beach, on the ocean side of Manly. In addition,
some specific types of records were deleted, such as records
for beach-collected dry cuttlebones belonging to deepwater
species that probably drifted from some distance offshore
and some fossil or sub-fossil molluscs.
Some of the early records only give Port Jackson as the
locality; for these records the latitude and longitude
values were generalised as a position east of the Harbour
Bridge. In some cases, ‘Port Jackson’ could indicate the
specimens were obtained from the Sydney Fish Market
and thus may not have been collected from within the
harbour, but further afield in the Sydney region; obviously

this only applies to commercial species. The total number
of records, as well as the numbers of families, genera and
species was calculated for each of the five taxa (fishes,
molluscs, polychaetes, crustaceans and echinoderms)
separately and in combination. Not all specimens
have been identified to species, and some represent
morphospecies or are species currently identified only to
a higher taxonomic level. We used WoRMS (http://www.
marinespecies.org/) to check currently accepted names.
The number of records collected in each year was
calculated, with the mean used when a range of dates
was given. For example, a record with a stated collection
date of 1950–1960, was deemed as 1955. Records without
a collection date were counted separately. To display the
spatial pattern of records, the study area was divided into
a 500 m × 500 m grid, with the number of records in each
grid counted and displayed in ArcMap. These analyses
were performed to understand the spatial and temporal
biases in sampling, and do not necessarily represent the
true distribution of biodiversity in the harbour.
Sydney Harbour was divided into four regions: East,
Centre, West and North (Figure 1a). We separately
counted the number of species in each of the taxonomic
groups in each of the four regions. Accumulation curves
were produced for each taxon and region based on the
earliest record of each species. These accumulation curves
illustrate how the number of species in the Australian
Museum collection has grown over time and give an
estimate of known species richness in the harbour.
Results
With the exception of molluscs, the majority of records for
the selected groups are databased and each of these groups
is now discussed. A complete list of species recorded is
given in the Appendix. Each species list was checked by
one of the authors with expertise in the group. The most
recent taxonomic names were used where available but
no attempt was made to re-check the database records
against specimens. However, every record can be referred
back to a specimen, (or, in the case of a few fish records, to
a photograph) in our collections. This is the first attempt
to collate the fauna of Sydney Harbour since Whitelegge
(1889) and hopefully will encourage future studies and
re-examination of these museum collections.
Polychaetes
1250 records of polychaetes representing 40 families,
comprised of 308 species belonging to 189 genera, with
some only identified to genus or in some cases only to
family are recorded in the Australian Museum database
(Figure 6, Appendix). The families best represented in
the Appendix largely reflect the research focus of both

Australian Museum and visiting systematists. Over 80
polychaete families are known globally and currently
40 families are present in the harbour according to
the Australian Museum database. However, we know
of several other families from the harbour, such as
Acoetidae, Magelonidae, Paraonidae and Pisionidae,
although specimens of these are yet to be fully identified
and databased.
Polychaetes have been recorded throughout the
catchment although records from Middle Harbour and
Lane Cove are sparse and restricted to the lower reaches
(Figure 7). In contrast, records from the Parramatta
River are largely restricted to the upper reaches of the
river, as a result of various surveys conducted prior to
the Sydney Olympics for the Olympic Co-ordinating
Agency (Australian Museum Business Services 1993).
This is not surprising given that polychaetes are
primarily marine and while the upper reaches of
the harbour are fully marine during dry conditions,
salinity levels fall in these regions after periods of
heavy rain. This probably prevents the establishment
of diverse polychaete assemblages, although those
species present can be abundant (for example, high
numbers were recorded during a bird feeding survey
around Homebush Bay (Hutchings 1996)). The bulk
of polychaete species are from the East and Central
regions (Figure 8), primarily from the shores or shallow
water. Few are recorded from deeper water, especially
in the Eastern region as little sampling of sediments
has occurred there. Many polychaete species occur in
sediments and have very specific habitat requirements
(Hutchings 1998) so we anticipate additional new
species will be recorded based on the range of deeper
water sediments types present in the harbour.

square. Records vary in collection location precision. In some cases the actual collection locations may differ from those
shown on the map.

Examination of the time periods when polychaetes were
collected (Figure 9) reveals a small peak in the first decade
of the twentieth century, followed by very spasmodic
collecting until the 1970s. After this, more intensive
collecting was undertaken, with a major spike recorded
in 2001. This spike is reflected in all other groups and
is the result of a major a marine biosecurity survey of
Sydney Harbour undertaken for Sydney Ports Corporation
(Australian Museum Business Services 2002) (Figure 10).
Another reason for the increasing number of species and
records after 1970 was the appointment of a polychaete
specialist, which has also encouraged overseas workers
and postdoctoral researchers to study the collections,
including those from Sydney Harbour.

If one considers the species accumulation curve (Figure
11), it is still rising, with most species recorded from the
Eastern region (i.e., east of the Sydney Harbour Bridge).
Most of the species have been recorded since the 1970s
coinciding with the availability of SCUBA and the
museum’s increased research effort. Far fewer species are
recorded from the other regions although the numbers of
species increased dramatically in the Central and Eastern
regions following a marine biosecurity survey in which
those areas associated with commercial shipping were
systematically collected (Australian Museum Business
Services 2002).
Polychaetes predominantly occur as infaunal and
encrusting species, although some are pelagic
(Figures12-15 illustrate some common species).
Comprehensive benthic sampling has not been carried
out in the harbour and most records are from the
intertidal and from SCUBA diving where kelp holdfasts

and sponges are often collected to reveal associated
polychaetes, plus scrapings from pylons. This suggests that
many more species of polychaetes remain to be recorded
from Sydney Harbour. Deeper water habitats east of the
bridge, under Spit Bridge and areas inside of North and
South Heads have barely been sampled. The same applies
to subtidal soft sediments throughout the harbour. As
our knowledge of the coastal polychaete fauna increases
we would anticipate also finding many species new to
science within the harbour. This is also reflected in the
species accumulation curve for polychaetes (Figure 11)
especially for the Eastern and Central regions that show
little evidence of levelling off. In contrast, the apparent
levelling off in the Northern and Western regions is
possibly a sampling artefact rather than a real plateau.
Crustaceans
Crustaceans are the dominant marine arthropods and
include crabs, shrimps, lobsters, isopods, amphipods and
barnacles (Figures 16-18 illustrating some of the diversity).
They occur throughout the harbour to the geographical
limits of the study (Figure 7) and are represented by
2778 records distributed in 163 families, 434 genera, and
672 species (Figure 6, Appendix). The crustacean fauna

of the harbour is extremely rich, comprising temperate
water species along with typically warm water species that
are temporary residents brought by the East Australian
Current, or for which Port Jackson is part of their southern
range limit (Ahyong 2004; Poore 2004).
With many significant commercial species, such as School
Prawns (Metapeneaus spp .), Blu e Swimm er C rab s (Portunus
armatus) (Figure 16), Mud Crabs (Scylla serrata) (Figure
18) and Eastern Rock Lobsters (Sagmariasus verreauxi),
crustaceans in the Australian Museum collection date
back to at least 1876. Growth in the Sydney Harbour
crustacean collections (and the number of species
discovered, as new records for the harbour or species new
to science) correlates with research effort, with a peak in
the 1920–30s, a peak in the 1970–80s and a spike in 2001,
see Figure 9). As is evident from the species accumulation
curve, the number of species discovered in Sydney Harbour
has increased across all regions in several large steps. From
the 1930s to the late 1960s, crustacean discovery in the
harbour was low (Figure 11), corresponding with a lack
of specimens collected during this period (Figure 9). It
improved significantly with the appointment of curators
such as Yaldwyn and Griffin in the late 1960s early 1970s,
resulting in the peak in collection records and numbers
of new discoveries in the 1970–80s. The 2001 spike in
records is attributable to the Sydney Harbour Biosecurity
Survey conducted for the Sydney Ports Authority (Figure
10), although the limited number of new species records
obtained at that time suggests that most species from the
immediate port environment have already been observed.
As expected, the numbers of species recorded from
different parts of the harbour differ significantly, with
highest diversity in the Eastern region (Figure 8). This no
doubt is partially influenced by the higher level of sampling
in the east, but also the wider range of habitat types
including rocky reefs and seagrass beds, and more stable
marine conditions that typically favour higher species
richness (Edgar et al. 1999; Teske and Wooldridge 2001).
The Northern and more westerly regions are increasingly
estuarine and more strongly affected by freshwater input
(and urban runoff) than the Eastern region.
The harbour has consistently yielded new species records,
even though research effort has been sporadic, especially
in the past 20 years. For instance, Sydney Harbour holds
the southernmost records for the tropical reef lobster,
Enoplometopus occidentalis, the tropical mantis shrimps,
Erugosquilla woodmasoni (Figure 17) and Levisquilla jurichi,
and tropical swimming crab, Charybdis granulata (Ahyong
2001, 2006; Ahyong and Lee 2005). A large new species
of mantis shrimp, Erugosquilla grahami, was discovered
in Sydney Harbour only in 1994, among the commercial
catch of prawns and other mantis shrimp, dominant among
them, the introduced Japanese mantis shrimp, Oratosquilla
oratoria (Ahyong and Manning 1998; Ahyong 2001). The
species accumulation curve for Crustacea is currently
plateauing and is most likely attributable to the low level
of recent research effort (Figure 11). Targetted surveys in
the harbour will almost certainly result in numerous new
discoveries, especially in the Eastern region.
Echinoderms
Echinoderms, which include sea urchins, sea-stars and
sea cucumbers, are a relatively small group with around
1200 species known from Australia. Sea urchins and
sea-stars can be numerically abundant, especially on
rocky reefs and other hard substrates (Figures 19-22
illustrate the diversity). For Sydney Harbour 1017
records, distributed in 45 families, 91 genera and 118
species exist in the Australian Museum collections
(Figure 6, Appendix).
The growth in harbour records and consequent number
of echinoderm species discovered in the harbour has
substantially increased from 1860 until now (Figure 11),
although the majority of old records do not have a specific
collection date (Figure 9). As with Crustacea, the rate
of discovery follows a step-wise pattern with the largest
jump in the late 1960s. This jump follows the expansion
Figure 18. Mud Crab, Scylla serrata, is a popular commercial

widely in the tropics and occurs all along the New South
Wales coast. In the harbour, it occurs mostly in the central
and western regions as well as in Middle harbour. Photo,

in numbers of research staff at the Australian Museum in
the late 1960s and early 1970s, among them, echinoderm
specialist Frank W. E. Rowe, with tenure at the Australian
Museum from 1974 to 1989.
Of all groups surveyed, the echinoderms have the fewest
records and species outside the Eastern region, and none
in the Western region (Figures 7, 8). This pattern owes
largely to the biology of echinoderms, the majority of which
are poor osmoregulators that do not tolerate significantly
fluctuating salinities (Diehl 1986). As such, the majority of
records are from the eastern-most harbour habitats.
Molluscs
Among the taxonomic groups included in this paper,
the molluscs comprise the greatest number of records
(10,598), families (224), genera (725) and species (1339)
(Figure 6, Appendix) (Figures 23-28 illustrate some of
the diversity). This pattern follows a wider trend and
these relative proportions are mirrored throughout the
Australian Museum marine collections.
The mollusc collection dates from around 1860 and
many of the ‘peaks’ seen in Figure 9 coincide with major
donations. Rather than necessarily reflecting peaks in
collecting activity, these spikes correspond to acquisitions
of large collections or the date of the death of a collector
if the specimens were acquired after that time. Often the
early collectors did not record the date of collection with
their specimens, so the collection dates were recorded by
the museum as merely prior to the date of acquisition.
Starting from the earliest to the most recent, the peaks
(Figure 9) likely correspond to the following acquisitions
of more than 3000 specimens that did not have exact
collection dates with the specimens (some of these
were former Australian Museum curators who may have
acquired specimens from third parties): 1877, W. H.
Hargraves collection donated; 1900, pre-1900 material
from various sources; 1912, J. C. Cox collection donated;
1930, M. J. Waterhouse collection donated; 1965–1966, T.
A. Garrard collection donated; late 1960s, C. F. Laseron
collection donated; and in 1970, L. Woolacott collection

donated. Other peaks possibly correspond to the activities
of various museum curators some of whom were more
avid collectors than others, or actively identified and
catalogued local species. Most recently, Winston Ponder,
who became Curator of Molluscs in 1968, has contributed
significantly to the museum’s collections. The 2001
peak corresponds to the Sydney Harbour Biosecurity
Survey conducted for the Sydney Ports Authority by
the Australian Museum (Australian Museum Business
Services 2002).
Reviewing the distribution of records (Figure 7) it appears
that there are significant areas of the harbour that have not
been sampled. The Eastern and Northern regions have the
greatest number of specimen records, and, mirroring this,
the greatest number of species (1201 and 788 respectively
(Figure 8)). Within these zones the most extensively
sampled regions are at depths of less than 10 m. This can
be seen by comparing Figures 1 and 7. Some areas appear
to be the targets of intensive collections of molluscs, with
301–1000 records indicated for the following locations:
Middle Harbour, Manly Cove, Middle Head, Watsons Bay,
Shark Bay, Berry’s Bay, and off Mosman (Bradley’s Head,
Taylor’s Bay and Chowder Bay).
The Central and Western regions have been poorly collected
for molluscs and this may be due in part to difficulties
obtaining access to these areas. In addition, only in recent
years have Australian Museum malacologists focussed on
freshwater and brackish water molluscs, which are likely
to occur in the westernmost arms of the catchment area
of the harbour. The paucity of specimens from these areas
is reflected in the number of records (Figure 7) as well as
the number of species, with 234 species recorded from the
Central region and only 31 in the Western zone.
It is likely, however, that rather than reflecting collecting
effort, this pattern of decreasing diversity from east to
west may be real. It may relate to the decreasing diversity
of habitat types and depths and fluctuating salinity, which
decrease and increase respectively from east to west (see
Figure 1 and Beck and Birch 2012a, b).
Figure 11 indicates that for all four regions, the number of
molluscs recorded over the last 150 years is approaching
a plateau. This could indicate that our knowledge of
molluscan diversity in Sydney Harbour is approaching
completion, or it could reflect the diminution of taxonomic
research in recent years (Figure 9). Unfortunately, the
decline in taxonomic research is currently a worldwide
problem that urgently needs to be addressed.

Fishes
Early white settlers learned a little about the fishes of
Sydney Harbour as a result of their need for food. Scientific
knowledge of the ichthyofauna, however, developed slowly.
In his Vo y a g e t o B o t a n y B a y (1789) Arthur Phillip described
a Port Jackson Shark, Heterodontus portusjacksoni, and a
Wo b b e g o n g , Orectolobus maculatus, from the harbour. Since
those humble beginnings, our knowledge of the fauna of
Sydney Harbour has grown spasmodically (Figure 11).
Castelnau’s Essay on the Ichthyology of Port Jackson (1879)
compared the fish faunas of Sydney Harbour and Victoria.
More recently, Henry (1984), in his paper on commercial
and recreational fishing in Sydney Harbour, stated that
“The Australian Museum has recorded 581 fish species from
the Sydney estuary” but did not provide a species list. The
remarkably rich fish fauna is comprised of warm temperate
water species and tropical species carried south in the warm
East Australian Current. As of December 2011, 586 species
of fishes from 391 genera and 160 families were known
to occur in Sydney Harbour (Figure 6, Appendix, current
figures available at http://www.australianmuseum.net.au/
Fishes-of-Sydney-Harbour). This can be put into perspective
by comparing with the 540 species known to occur in the
entire Mediterranean Sea (Helfman et al. 2009).
The Australian Museum’s earliest dated records of Sydney
Harbour fishes begin in 1878, with the collection of
15 specimens (11 species), followed by 29 specimens
(16 species) in 1879. In the 133 years since, four main
‘spikes’ in collecting activity have occurred (Figure 9). The
first was between 1880 and 1890, during the tenure of
Edward Pierson Ramsay (1874–1894) and James Douglas
Ogilby (1884–1890). A smaller spike in collecting effort
occurred in 1908, during the tenure of Allan Riverstone
McCulloch (1906–1925). Over the next 60 years, minor
but consistent collecting was undertaken, largely during
the 42 year tenure of Gilbert Percy Whitley (1922–1964).
The 1970s saw a decade of intensive collecting coinciding
with the employment of John Paxton (1969–1998) and
Doug Hoese (1971–2004). See Saunders (2012) and http://
www.australianmuseum.net.au/Fish-Section-Staff for more
information on the early Australian Museum ichthyologists.
The number of fish species known from the harbour has
increased over time, but not steadily (Figure 11). Not
surprisingly, dramatic increases in species numbers occurred
during the two decades of intense collecting discussed above
(1880–1890 and 1970–1980). During the first period, the
number of species known from the harbour rose from ‘a
handful’ (those recorded in early works and not retained at
the Australian Museum) to over 200 that were incorporated
into the Australian Museum collection. The number of
known species climbed dramatically in the decade between
1970 and 1980 largely due to the efforts of Paxton who ran
a seven year trawling program in the harbour, along with
seining, rotenone sampling and visits to the fish market
(Paxton and Collett 1975, Figure 2). The most recent spate
of intensive sampling occurred around 2001 and is largely
attributable to work done by the Australian Museum for
the Sydney Harbour Biosecurity Survey conducted for
the Sydney Ports Authority (Australian Museum Business
Services 2002). During this survey, fishes were collected
at 19 sites, from Chowder Bay in the Eastern region to
Blackwattle Bay in the Central region, with divers on scuba
using rotenone to intensively sample the fish fauna (Figure
10). Some iconic Sydney Harbour species are shown in
Figures 29-33.
During the ‘wonder decade’ (1970–1980), about 150
species of fishes were added to the species count, with
increases in species numbers in all four regions (Figure 11).
The largest increases were in the Eastern and Northern
regions respectively. During this time, the number of
species known from the Northern region overtook that of
the Central region.
It is important to note that the two periods of greatest
increase in species numbers correspond with times when
Australian Museum staff members were actively pursuing
programs of both research and collection in the harbour.
The relatively small increase in species numbers, despite
the large collection effort in 2001 may partially be
accounted for by the absence of an Australian Museum
ichthyologist actively working on the fauna of the harbour.
Over the last two decades, the number of ichthyological

portusjacksoni, occurs in the eastern zone. It is a distinctive

galeatus. Photo, Sascha Schulz.

recognised by the wide gap between the second and third

name limenus comes from the Greek word limen, meaning
‘harbour’ or ‘refuge’. Photo, Ian Shaw.

research staff at the Australian Museum has decreased
from three positions (Paxton, Hoese, Leis) to one half-
time position (Leis). It is unlikely that the current species
count would remain static if another program of harbour-
centric research was undertaken.
Despite the decline in the Australian Museum’s
ichthyological research capacity, the number of species
known from the harbour continues to increase, often
due to the work of international ichthyologists. In 2004,
Australian Museum Research Associate, Hiroyuki
Motomura (2004), described the Sydney Scorpionfish,
Scorpaenopsis inspiratus (http://www.australianmuseum.net.
au/Sydney-Scorpionfish-Scorpaenopsis-insperatus). Nearly
a decade later, the holotype and paratype, both collected
by staff of the Australian Museum at Clifton Gardens in
the Eastern region, are the only specimens of the species
that have been collected. The live colouration of the
species is unknown. Another new species known from the
harbour, an anglerfish (http://www.australianmuseum.net.
au/Undescribed-Anglerfish/), is currently being described
by Rachel Arnold from the University of Washington.
Many species of fishes collected from coastal areas of
Sydney have not been recorded from the harbour. The
outer harbour is essentially a marine environment that
contains suitable habitats for many of these coastal
species. Almost certainly, unrecorded coastal species
occur in the Eastern region.
Many species records are based on vagrant fishes such
as tropical species (e.g. butterflyfishes, cardinalfishes,
damselfishes, surgeonfishes, gobies) and pelagics (e.g.
billfishes, lamnid sharks, driftfishes, trevallies). Their
occurrence may be based on a single record. The current
paper includes 175 species (29.9%) for which the
collection contains only a single specimen. It is unclear
how many species are resident, how many are vagrants
and how many are simply rare. An analysis of the resident
fish fauna of Sydney Harbour is beyond the scope of this
paper (Booth 2010).
Figure 7 clearly shows large areas of the harbour (primarily
in the Northern and Western regions) in which there
has been no fish collecting undertaken by the Australian
Museum. If these areas are targeted, current knowledge
of fish distributions will undoubtedly be improved. This
point is illustrated by a single day of collecting from near
Roseville Bridge, Middle Harbour (Figure 1) in May
2012 during which specimens of Blackmargin Dartfish,
Pa ri o gl os s us m ar g in al i s and Pacific Blue Eye, Pse udomu gil
signifier were collected. These were new records for
the harbour and for Middle Harbour respectively. The
collection of a White’s Seahorse, Hippocampus whitei at
the same locality was a notable range extension (~15 km
upstream) within Middle Harbour.
A larval fish sampling program would enhance our
understanding of the fish fauna of Sydney Harbour. Larvae
commonly have very different habitat requirements,
behaviours and food requirements to adults. Little
collecting of larval fishes has been undertaken. Specimens
exist from the work of Leis and colleagues who made a
number of collections at Collins Flat and Quarantine
Beaches (North Head) and Lockett who collected larvae
from Homebush Bay and the Lane Cove River.

Achoerodus viridis, is not a grouper, but a wrasse. The

Phycodurus eques. Photo, Sascha Schulz.

Scorpaena cardinalis. The correct name, S. jacksoniensis (see

Jackson (Sydney Harbour). It is also known locally as the
‘Red Rockcod’. Photo, Dave Harasti.

Discussion
This first attempt in more than a century to collate
the fauna of selected groups from Sydney Harbour
has revealed an amazing diversity with almost 20,000
records, 632 families, 1830 genera and 3023 species
recorded. Certainly this is an underestimate of the
diversity of the harbour as groups such as sponges,
ascidians, bryozoans and many of the smaller groups,
have not been included. As shown in Figure 8, the
Eastern and Central areas have the greatest number
of records for all groups excluding polychaetes. The
Western area has the least. This may be due to
inadequate sampling, but it is also the area with
the lowest diversity of habitats and, periodically, the
lowest salinities, especially after heavy rain. This would
severely impact some taxa; for example, echinoderms
are almost completely marine and polychaetes largely
so and would not survive under these conditions. Other
contributing factors may be that, historically at least,
water quality was poor in this region with limited tidal
flushing, and access to sampling sites is often difficult.
Further east, good tidal flushing has reduced the
impact of land-based pollution from harbour foreshore
industries (Davis and Birch 2010, 2011). In recent
decades most foreshore industries in the Western
region have now been relocated with the valuable land
sold off for residential development. Similar comments
are also true for the Northern region (except this region
has never had many shore-based industries).
The most speciose area is the Eastern region, which has
more habitat types (seagrasses (Figure 34), rocky shores
(Figure 35), soft substrates, pelagic habitat, is essentially
an extension of the coastal marine environment. This
region has been the target of the most intensive collecting
effort using many techniques for all of the target groups.
Interestingly, while the number of species known from
the Eastern (marine) region continues to grow, the
numbers from the other regions have only increased
slightly over time, although for all groups the 2001 survey
for Sydney Ports (Australian Museum Business Services
2002) increased the number of known species.
With over 3000 marine species, Sydney Harbour is truly a
biodiverse waterway for a combination of reasons, including
a tremendous diversity of habitats, varying in types of
sediment, depth, and vegetation. Seagrass beds (Figure
34) and algal beds (Figure 36) are widespread especially
in the Eastern region although these deep water algal
beds have not been accurately mapped. West et al. (2004)
have undertaken a survey of the harbour based on aerial
surveys of the distribution of seagrasses, mangroves (Figure
37), kelp and seagrass beds. They show that seagrass beds

have changed substantially over the last 20 years and some
subsequent maps have been produced (Creese et al. 2009).
The same is true for mangrove communities further upstream
(McLouglin 1987, 2000). Adam (1996) documented the
distribution of saltmarshes around Homebush Bay and refers
to the history of saltmarsh reclamation and modification
in this region (Clarke and Benson 1988; Kachka 1992)
(Figures 38-40). Inside Sydney Heads are extensive
sponge gardens that are home to diverse communities of
invertebrates and fishes (Hutchings pers. observ. Figure
41). Also inside the heads are extensive sea-urchin barrens
(Figure 43). Many intertidal habitats have been substantially
changed since European settlement with reclamation for
buildings, seawalls, port and marina facilities, replacing

complex substrates and habitat with large areas of
uniform, hard surfaces (Glasby and Connell, 1999) (Figure
42). Mangrove coverage has also changed over time
(McLoughlin 2000 and refs therein; West et al. 2004;
Creese et al. 2009), but significant stands are still present
in the Northern and Western regions (Melville et al. 2005).
Sydney Harbour, is a natural harbour and has experienced
relatively little dredging except around in areas such as
Circular Quay and Darling Harbour and further upstream
around Homebush Bay associated with salt ponds and
later industry (Clarke and Benson 1988; Fox and
Associates 1986).
The largest number of records from the harbour are of
molluscs. But, does this pattern in Sydney Harbour reflect
collection effort (as measured by the number of records)
and research focus, or are molluscs really the most diverse
marine group in Sydney Harbour? Do historical factors
need to be considered?
The Australian Museum mollusc collection differs in some
important respects from the other collections covered in
this report. Because of its vast size, only about one-third
of the entire mollusc collection is presently databased, so
the statistics regarding the mollusc records from Sydney
Harbour must be considered preliminary. Of these records,
however, a higher proportion of local species (i.e., from
the Sydney area and environs) rather than distant or
non-Australian material is databased. Another significant
difference is that, unlike the other groups treated here,
molluscs are a major target group for amateur collectors,
who have been the source of many specimens in the
Australian Museum collection, especially in the early years
(Hope Black 1998). These collections have come to the
Museum periodically, either purchased or donated, often
with only approximate or no information on the dates of
collection and sometimes dubious locality information and
identifications. Little emphasis was placed on accurate
recording of data up to the mid 20th century. Because the
early records are largely comprised of information from
donated collections, they tend to be less reliable than data
obtained from more recent collections.
Another peculiar complication for the malacology
collection is determining the status of specimens collected
as empty shells. If empty shells were collected from a
locality at which the same species is currently living, it
is reasonable to assume that the shells are recent. In the
absence of living individuals, however, an assessment is
made on the state of the shell and its microhabitat to
determine whether the shell is recent. A fresh-looking

shiny shell is usually modern, but some subfossils can have
a remarkably ‘fresh’ appearance. If a shell came from deep
dredging, from well below the substrate surface, it could
be a subfossil, and then geological evidence is required to
estimate its age. In ascertaining species distributions, fossil
shells add a significant time dimension that needs to be
considered. Mollusc species numbers may be overinflated
by the inclusion of fossil molluscs — the listed species
will probably include some that no longer occur in the
harbour but may have occurred there at some time in the
geological past.
Also, for all the groups considered in this paper, additional
species may be present in other collection databases but
checking these was beyond the scope of this paper.
We know for example that a paratype of Oxycheilinus
nigromarginatus, the Blackmargin Maori Wrasse (http://
www.australianmuseum.net.au/Blackmargin-Maori-
Wrasse-Oxycheilinus-nigromarginatus/), from Camp
Cove (Eastern region) is held in the collection at
Museum Victoria (A 11834). No specimens of this
species from the harbour are currently in the Australian
Museum collection.
For all the invertebrate groups, additional collecting,
especially in deeper parts of the harbour and in soft
sediments, will undoubtedly result in the discovery of
additional species and records. An area which has been very
poorly sampled is upstream from Spit Bridge which covers
approximately 4.7 km2, and represents 9.1% of the total
harbour and while molluscs are reasonably well sampled
in this area (~9.3% of all records), other groups are not
(1.0% polychaetes, 1.7% fish, and 3.8% crustaceans, with
virtually no echinoderms but this is to be expected) (Figure
7), certainly targeted surveys in this region would no doubt
increase the known diversity of the harbour.
In addition, among the invertebrate groups there are
collections of unstudied material that remain to be
identified and databased; these will no doubt include
additional records and new species. Also, as seen in
Appendix, some records are yet to be identified to species
level, and this in part reflects taxonomic limitations.
Considering that Australia’s largest city surrounds the
harbour, it is remarkable that we have such a diverse fauna.
However, we have not yet determined how many records
of species have not been found in the past 10–20 years.
Even if we did so, it would be difficult to know whether
they have actually been lost from the harbour or whether
their habitats have simply not been sampled recently. In
no small part, the diversity found in the harbour is due
to its geomorphology and the wide deep entrance that
greatly facilitates water exchange and recruitment from
nearby areas. Without this water exchange, salinity would
be much less stable and water quality would have been
seriously compromised, especially in the late 1800s early
1900s when sewage remained untreated and a whaling
station operated at Mosman.
Comparisons with neighbouring estuarine areas are
instructive. To date, the total number of polychaete,
crustacean and mollusc species recorded from Sydney
Harbour stands at 2319, although these numbers are
certainly a significant underestimate of true species
richness since many areas of the harbour are poorly
sampled. This compares with 1636, 1335 and 981 species
known from the nearby (<30 km) estuaries Botany Bay,
the Hawkesbury River and Port Hacking, respectively,
based on Australian Museum collection records
(Hutchings and Murray 1984; Wilson 1998; Fraser et al.
2006). Each of these areas is smaller and has far fewer
types of habitat than Sydney Harbour, highlighting the
environmental significance of the harbour.
Sydney Harbour is clearly a highly diverse environment
in which much remains to be discovered. The present
study highlights the remarkable species richness of
Sydney Harbour.

APPENDIX 2
This unusual painting of the early 19th century shows a highly creative arrangement of freshly
caught fishes - some are lying on the sand, while others appear to be floating as if they are still
in the waters of Sydney Harbour (visible in the background). Most of the fishes por trayed in
their relative sizes were common to the Sydney Harbour waters almost 200 years ago but the
largest fish is one of the freshwater cods and is unlikely to have been caught in the harbour. The
fishes include (from the top) snapper, hammerhead shark, redfish, freshwater cod, Southern maori
wrasse, whiting and sea mullet. Painted in oils by Australia’s first professional ar tist, John Lewin
(1770-1819), the work measures 86.5 cm x 113.0 cm. It depicts a site that today has iconic status
within Australia - the fish are arranged on the shore at Kirribilli Point; the view behind the fish
stretches south across Sydney Harbour to Dawes Point, where the southern end of the Sydney
Harbour Bridge is now located; in the distance, the hip-roofed guardhouse and flagpole of the
former Dawes Point Battery can also be seen. Postcard no. 00086 © Copyright of the Art Gallery
