Abstract

The seas of tropical Australia are of global significance both environmentally and economically. Recent marine invertebrate surveys off the Western Australian coasts have revealed many new records and species. One of these is Podophthalmus nacreus, herein reported from within the Ningaloo Marine Park and thus representing the first record for this species from Australian waters.
