Issues for which this is an indicator and why
Australian Antarctic Territory — Environment - Marine ecosystems
Whale populations can act as an indicator of the impact of various factors. Populations are related to resource availability (food), behavioural mechanisms (immigration/emigration and breeding effort/success) in addition to climate change and human impacts (whaling, fisheries, tourism, pollution, disturbance).
Other indicators for this issue:
- AAT-08 Plankton populations
- AAT-09 Seabird populations
- AAT-10 seal populations
- CO-02 Number of marine species that are endangered or threatened and changes in population/ distribution of selected threatened species
- BD-02 Conservation status of nationally significant species and ecological communities, compared with previous years
- BD-04 Listed threatened species or ecological communities for which recovery action is showing stable or increasing populations
Biodiversity — Species, habitats and ecological communities - Conservation status of species and ecological communities
Whale populations are related to resource availability (food), behavioural mechanisms (immigration/emigration and breeding effort/success) in addition to climate change and human impacts (whaling, fisheries, tourism, pollution, disturbance), and are an indicator of pressures on biodiversity in the AAT and in the world’s oceans more generally.
Other indicators for this issue:
- BD-02 Conservation status of nationally significant species and ecological communities, compared with previous years
- BD-04 Listed threatened species or ecological communities for which recovery action is showing stable or increasing populations
- IW-30 Macroinvertebrate condition
- IW-31 Fish - Abundance and distribution
- IW-32 Frogs - Abundance and distribution
- IW-33 Abundance and distribution of waterbirds
- CO-01 Trends in selected groups of coastal and marine species and habitats
- CO-02 Number of marine species that are endangered or threatened and changes in population/ distribution of selected threatened species
- CO-16 Status of Australian fisheries
- LD-01 The proportion and area of native vegetation and changes over time
- AAT-08 Plankton populations
- AAT-09 Seabird populations
- AAT-10 seal populations
- AAT-12 Changes in colonies of plants on Heard Island
