In this Catalogue of Tunicata in Australian Waters, which is also incorporated into the online Australian Faunal Directory, Dr Kott has updated her 1998 catalogue of Tunicata in Australian waters, published in the ABRS publication, Zoological Catalogue of Australia, Volume 34. The Catalogue describes 757 species and 108 genera of Tunicata fauna. Of these, 709 species in 83 genera are in the Class Ascidiacea, the group that has been the focus of extensive research by the author Dr Patricia Kott.

- The northern Australian coast is in the middle of the vast Indo-West Pacific tropical coralline region. The Australian continental shelf fauna acquires recruits and gains genetic diversity from that region.
- The Australian continent forms a bridge between the tropical and temperate waters and provides a diversity of habitats for colonisation and speciation.
- The temperate waters of the southern coast contain Gondwanan elements and recruits from the Southern Ocean, as well as the indigenous species that appear to be isolated in these habitats.
The oviparous larvae of solitary species are free-swimming for periods of one to 24 hours, and prior to hatching have been float...

All genera of the Didemnidae are well represented in the tropical Indo-west Pacific and in Australian temperate and tropical waters, although their diversity is much reduced in the Antarctic and Subantarctic.

The family is well represented in Australia by the genus Molgula (12 species), Eugyra (3 species) and a species of Pareugyrioide...
The genera not represented in the Australian fauna are known from polar waters or from deeper abyssal waters (see Kott 1985). Around the Australian coast, deeper waters have not yet been explored adequately for these benthic organisms.

FRITILLARIIDAE
The members of the family Fritillariidae Seeliger, 1895 (as amended by Lohmann, 1915) have dorsoventrally compressed or spindle-...
The family is represented in Australian waters by seven species of Fritillaria and one of Tectillaria. It has been reviewed by Lohmann (1933) and Fenaux (1993) and its occurrence in Australian waters is documented by Thompson (1945).
