Abstract
A novel bloom of the surf diatom Anaulus australis Drebes et Schultz was ob served in subtropical waters off Surfers' Paradise, Queensland, Australia ( 27 degrees 55'S; 153 degrees 23'E) in early May 2000. This is the lowest la titude in which an Anaulus australis surf diatom bloom has been reported. N itrogen stable isotope analysis of surf diatoms may indicate anthropogenic nutrient inputs in this environment.
