The history of Tasman Peninsula during the initial post-penal period from 1877- 1914 is presented and discussed. Settlement of the peninsula after the closure of Port Arthur prison resulted in two distinct communities - one providing recreation facilities and services to tourists and the other dependent on farming, orcharding, logging and fishing. During this period Tasmanians began to come to terms with the convict history represented by Port Arthur, with Eaglehawk Neck and Port Arthur becoming foci for the developing tourism industry.

Understanding of the characteristics and dynamics of the population permanently resident in Tasman municipality has to recognise that the area receives numerically large influxes of both recreational and tourist groups. Census data suggest that the economy of the peninsula is undergoing a major shift from one reliant on traditional primary industries to one focused on tourism. At the same time, the amenities of the natural landscape have prompted a substantial in-migration of non-conventional lifestylers.

The format of agriculture on Tasman Peninsula will be influenced in the future by thc same factors as in the past - the environment, enterprise viability and the desire and capacity of landowners to obtain expertise and raise capital. The high levels of investment required to establish viable farming enterprises and the doubt about obtaining a good return restricts present landowners from changing the existing type and scale of primary production.

Although its area is less than 1% of Tasmania, Tasman Peninsula possesses more than one- third of the total native vascular plants of the State. The number of species present is close to that predicted by the theories of island biogeography. There are 70 Tasmanian endemic vascular plant species present, representing 13 % of the total. This figure is lower than that expected on a proportional basis due to the absence from the peninsula of the distinctively Tasmanian alpine, wet and oligotrophic western environments. There are two vascular plants known only from the peninsula. Nevertheless there is a distinctly local flavour to the flora due to those components held in common with other predominantly lowland dolerite parts of southeastern Tasmania. The vegetation types present on the peninsula include coastal heaths, dune vegetation and wetlands, dry and wet sc!erophyll forests and some small areas ofsubalpine scrub and rainforests. The structure and composition of the vegetation on the peninsula reflect climatic, topographic, firing and biotic influences. Thus dry sclerophyll forests grade into wet sclerophyll forests as moisture availability increases . The forests grade into heaths as sites become more exposed to the prevailing salt-laden onshore winds. Within a particular vegetation type, the composition is influenced by local climate and landform but is also attributable to local drainage conditions, geological substrate and fire history. The plant species and communities present are, some exceptions, moderately well- conserved, but sensitivity in future management will be required to retain the character conferred on the peninsula by its native vegetation.

Tasman Peninsula, with its extensive coastline, low population density and lack of industrial development, offers significant marine fanning opportunities. Sheltered stable waters provide, prima facie, ideal sites for both shallow-water and deep-water cultivation activities. Three species are fanned at present - the Pacific oyster Crassastrea gigas, mussel Mytilus edulis planulatus and rainbow trout Salmo gairderi. Four other species offer immediate prospects for cultivation - the flat oyster Ostrea angasi, scallops Pecten furmata, abalone Haliotis ruber and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar. Other opportunities include seaweed cultivation and flatfish. Current and potential production and employment opportunities from aquaculture activities are projected. Basic details relating to farm size and land-based infrastructure requirements are outlined.

Conservation of Tasman Peninsula's heritage values is essentially an investment in the future of the peninsula. Appropriations for the purpose, rather than being treated as dispensible and unnecessary costs, should be regarded as part of the regular maintenance of an investment package of historic significance and development potential.

Six species of barnacle are found intertidally at Fossil Island. Tolerances of the species to desiccation and temperature could be related to their position on the shore. The four common species all show significant orientation to water currents: in Catornerus polyrnerus the orientation is reversed lower on the shore. Strong evidence is presented that isolated C. polyrnerus individuals can self-fertilise.

Of the 25 native freshwater fish species found in Tasmania, nine occur on Tasman Peninsula along with one species of introduced fish, the brown trout Salmo trutta. The spotted galaxias Galaxias truttaceus and the common jollytail G. mandalus were the most widespread and abundant species found and fishes within the family Galaxiidae dominated the fauna. The life cycles of the fish species could be classified into three types largely based on the juvenile and adult habitats. Type 1 species, exemplified by the pouched lamprey Georria australis, breed and the young undergo a period of development in freshwater and there is an extended period spent at sea. Type 2 species, such as the short-finned eel Anguilla australis, breed at sea and, after a marine juvenile stage, mature in freshwater. lype 3a species breed in estuaries, the young spend a period of development at sea and the fish mature in freshwater. The common jollytail is an example of this type. Type 3b species, such as the spolted galaxias, mature and breed in freshwater and, as with Type 3a, have a marine juvenile stage. Most fish were collected in habitats characteristically possessing abundant cover in the form of aquatic vegetation, logs or boulders. The only introduced species, brown trout, was not widespread on the peninsula and its effect on the native fish, although uncertain, appears minimal. Due to the necessily for all species of native freshwater fish found on the peninsula to migrate up and down streams at some stage of their life cycles, caution is expressed regarding any modifications to stream habitat which may prevent this.
在塔斯马尼亚发现的25种本地淡水鱼中，有9种出现在塔斯马尼亚半岛，还有一种引进的鱼，棕鳟。斑点星系(galaxias truttaceus)和常见的jollytail G. mandalus是分布最广、数量最多的物种，以星系科鱼类为主。鱼类的生命周期主要根据幼鱼和成鱼的栖息地划分为三类。1型物种，例如有袋的七鳃鳗，在淡水中繁殖，幼鱼在淡水中发育一段时间，在海洋中度过一段较长的时间。第2类，如短鳍鳗，在海上繁殖，经过海洋幼年期后，在淡水中成熟。3a型在河口繁殖，幼鱼在海上发育一段时间，鱼在淡水中成熟。常见的乐尾鱼就是这种类型的一个例子。3b型鱼种，如斑点星系，在淡水中成熟和繁殖，与3a型一样，有一个海洋幼鱼阶段。大多数鱼是在具有丰富的水生植被、原木或巨石覆盖的生境中收集的。唯一引进的物种褐鳟在半岛上并不普遍，它对本地鱼类的影响虽然不确定，但似乎很小。由于在半岛上发现的所有本地淡水鱼在其生命周期的某个阶段都必须在河流上游和下游迁徙，因此对于任何可能阻止这一过程的河流栖息地的改变都表示谨慎。
