Common use of Critical Life Limiting Phase Temperature Tolerances Clause in Contracts

Critical Life Limiting Phase Temperature Tolerances. The following critical life limiting phases have been taken from the BRS (2008) and should be used to determine the cost sharing arrangements for marine pest outbreaks. Microalage—when asexual cell division or sexual reproduction occurs. Examples: Dinoflagellates, diatoms, algae that require the aid of a microscope to be seen. Macroalgae—cues the release of spores/gametes into the water column or the most optimal conditions for a fragment to flourish. Examples: seaweeds, algae, kelp that can be seen without the aid of a microscope. Echinoderms—when mature individuals release their gametes into the water column. Examples: starfish, brittle stars, sea urchin, sand dollar, sea cucumbers. Crustaceans—cues individuals to mate and allows optimal conditions for the eggs/larvae to develop. Examples: crayfish, crab, barnacle, shrimp, lobster. Molluscs—cues individuals to spawn and allows optimal conditions for the larvae to develop. Examples: shellfish, squid, octopus, snails. Polychaetes—cues individuals to spawn and allows optimal conditions for the larvae to develop. Examples: segmented worms: fanworms, sandworms, lugworms. Tunicates—cues individuals to spawn and allows optimal conditions for the larvae to develop. Example: seasquirts Jellyfish/Ctenophora—cues individuals to release their gametes into the surrounding water and allow optimal conditions for the developing larvae. Examples: comb jelly (Ctenophora), jellyfish types. Fish—cues individuals to mate or lay/fertilise eggs, and allows optimal conditions for the larvae to develop. Examples: sharks, rays, eels, lampreys, seahorses, finfish. Parameters for cost-sharing of responses to pest incidents in marine environments Population parameters With regard to pest incidents in marine environments, the following parameters will be used to determine the Australian and jurisdictional populations. Each population value used should be the most recent and accurate available. The most recently available Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian Demographic Statistics Population parameters will be used to estimate populations. The New South Wales population will not include Jervis Bay. All population figures will include those of relevant islands in each jurisdiction. The sum of the populations for the states and the Northern Territory will be used as the total population of Australia. The population of Jervis Bay is excluded from the calculations of the New South Wales population as it comes under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth. The total Australian population does not include the Australian Capital Territory population. Length of coastline parameters For the purposes of pest incidents in marine environments the following parameters will be used to determine the length of coastline. Each value should be the most recent, accurate figure available (see item 23.7 to this attachment). The figures will include those of relevant islands in each jurisdiction. The New South Wales figure should not incorporate the Australian Capital Territory’s (including Jervis Bay) length of coastline. The total length of Australian coastline should not include that of Jervis Bay. The sum of the coastline lengths for the states and the Northern Territory should be equal to the total length of the Australian coastline. Formula for calculating cost-sharing arrangements for pest incidents in marine environments Cost-sharing for pest incidents in marine environments is calculated using the following steps:
