Biodiversity
Sydney Harbour is one of the most biologically diverse harbours in the world. It is home to over 570 species of fish, 3600 invertebrates including dozens of Australian endemic species, and many thousands of species of often unique marine microbes. SIMS scientists are expanding our knowledge of this immense biodiversity across these and other taxa, using both traditional and modern molecular techniques for classification and identification.
