Mortality of maned duck and grey teal due to hunting at Barrenbox Swamp in New South Wales in 1982 was estimated from band returns. Birds were marked a short while before the open season commenced. The mortality rates were 33.0% in maned duck and 10.9% in grey teal on opening morning, and 41.0% and 14.3% for the season. The validity of the estimates is discussed. Barrenbox Swamp is a popular hunting site and a permanent wetland. Hunting mortality at the level recorded for maned duck in this study could be detrimental to waterfowl during droughts, when populations concentrate on such permanent waters.

A comparative survey was undertaken with 43 sheep producers in southern New South Wales using a semi-structured interview to investigate factors associated with high ewe mortality rates in winter lambing flocks grazing dual-purpose wheat. Participants were classified as either control (n = 23), who had not observed abnormally high ewe deaths, or case (n = 20), who had observed abnormally high ewe mortality rates when sheep grazed dual-purpose wheat. Ewe losses associated with grazing wheat were higher in the case group compared with the control group (8.6 vs 1.8%; P < 0.001) and there was also more deaths attributed to metabolic disease (3.4 vs 0.6%; P < 0.05). A higher proportion of control respondents had provided magnesium or sodium supplementation to ewes grazing wheat (P < 0.05). The body condition score of ewes entering the grazing period was significantly higher in the control group (3.2 vs 2.8; P < 0.05). The proportion of respondents who fed roughage to ewes grazing wheat did not differ significantly between control and case groups (48 vs 35%). A higher proportion of respondents in the case group had supplied grain to ewes (25 vs 0%; P < 0.05), which may have been associated with the lower body condition of sheep in these flocks compared with the control group. It was concluded that supplying ad libitum access to mineral supplements that include magnesium, sodium and possibly calcium, and maintaining adequate body condition score can reduce the risk of high ewe mortality rates when reproducing ewes graze dual-purpose wheat.

Mortality Table

In the following pages we give a description of the method pursued in an investigation into the Mortality Rates of the combined populations of New South Wales and Victoria, also tabular statements of the results at which we arrived. We offer no apology for trespassing on the courtesy of the Institute and asking their attention to a paper on such a well-worn subject as mortality rates, inasmuch as the rates of mortality being experienced by persons living in different parts of the world, are in themselves of more than passing interest. Moreover, where the population under consideration has been largely transplanted from a home on one side of the globe to a new land on the other, amidst new surroundings, experiencing a new climate, and cultivating almost virgin soil, its progress in the social scale will probably attract more than usual attention. The Australian Colonies afford an excellent example of such a new nation, and their rapid development makes their experience in mortality a subject of more than usual moment, both to themselves and to the mother country. Not only is there the desire to compare their present mortality rates with those prevailing in the mother land but there is the additional incentive to enquiry as to whether their own present experience is varying from that of their earlier days. To those engaged in the conduct of Industrial Business, rates of mortality, derived from the statistics of the general population, are an absolute necessity; and as industrial assurance is now making rapid strides in the Australian Colonies, a paper dealing with Australian mortality should be welcomed by those most closely associated with that class of business.
