ISSN 1377-0950 - ii - PREFACE This is the ‘Book of Abstracts’ of the 13th edition of the VLIZ Young Marine Scientists’ Day, a one day event that was organized on 15 February, 2013 in KHBO, Brugge. This annual event has become more and more successful over the years. With more than 300 participants and over 100 scientific contributions, it is fair to say that it is the place to be for Flemish marine researchers and for the end-users of their research. It is an important networking opportunity, where young scientists can meet and interact with their peers, learn from each other, build their personal professional network and establish links for collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Marine scientists from all Flemish universities and scientific institutes – and representing all marine science disciplines – have contributed to this volume. The book thus illustrates the diversity, quality and relevance of the marine sciences in Flanders (and Belgium): it provides a beautiful and comprehensive snapshot of the state-of-the-art of marine scientific research in Flanders in 2013. Young scientists present their research in an exciting way and communicate their fascinating science – and its importance to society – to the wider public. We thus hope to demonstrate the excellence of Flemish marine science and to increase its national and international visibility. The volume of research that is presented here holds a great promise for the future. It shows that marine science is a very lively discipline in Flanders, and that a new generation stands ready to address the grand challenges and opportunities that our seas and oceans represent. I want to congratulate all participants with their contributions, and I invite them all to actively participate in VLIZ-events and activities in the future.

  • Changing Jellyfish Populations: Trends in Large Marine Ecosystems
    CHANGING JELLYFISH POPULATIONS: TRENDS IN LARGE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS by Lucas Brotz B.Sc., The University of British Columbia, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Oceanography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2011 © Lucas Brotz, 2011 Abstract Although there are various indications and claims that jellyfish have been increasing at a global scale in recent decades, a rigorous demonstration to this effect has never been presented. As this is mainly due to scarcity of quantitative time series of jellyfish abundance from scientific surveys, an attempt is presented here to complement such data with non- conventional information from other sources. This was accomplished using the analytical framework of fuzzy logic, which allows the combination of information with variable degrees of cardinality, reliability, and temporal and spatial coverage. Data were aggregated and analysed at the scale of Large Marine Ecosystem (LME). Of the 66 LMEs defined thus far, which cover the world’s coastal waters and seas, trends of jellyfish abundance (increasing, decreasing, or stable/variable) were identified (occurring after 1950) for 45, with variable degrees of confidence. Of these 45 LMEs, the overwhelming majority (31 or 69%) showed increasing trends. Recent evidence also suggests that the observed increases in jellyfish populations may be due to the effects of human activities, such as overfishing, global warming, pollution, and coastal development. Changing jellyfish populations were tested for links with anthropogenic impacts at the LME scale, using a variety of indicators and a generalized additive model. Significant correlations were found with several indicators of ecosystem health, as well as marine aquaculture production, suggesting that the observed increases in jellyfish populations are indeed due to human activities and the continued degradation of the marine environment.

The anemones were found at depths down to approximately 40 m and the sizes of clustering H. magni¢ca and clusters were positively correlated with depth. The shallow waters of the anemone assemblage contained few mainly small, solitary actinians. There seemed to be a tendency for solitary actinians to cluster once they reached a certain size-range. The resident anemone¢shes Amphiprion bicinctus and Dascyllus trimaculatus were present in very large numbers (approximately 250 and 1800 respectively) and the A. bicinctus home range size was positively correlated with depth.

  • Report on the Survey of the Marine Aquarium Fishery Batticoloa and Ampara Districts, Sri Lanka
    Report on the survey of the Marine Aquarium Fishery Batticoloa and Ampara Districts, Sri Lanka. 2008 1. Introduction The marine aquarium fishery in the eastern coastal waters has been in existence since the beginning of the industry in Sri Lanka. The present value of the marine ornamental sector of the aquarium fish industry is believed to be about 60% of the total value of about US $ 7 million. Marine aquarium species of the eastern coastal reefs is vital for the industry. A number of key species of butterflyfish (Chaetodontidae), angelfish (Pomacanthidae), wrasses (Labridae), gobies (Gobiidae), damselfish (Pomacentridae), groupers (Serranidae), blennies (Blennidae), surgeonfish (Acanthuridae) and invertebrates such as the scarlet shrimps (Lysmata debelius) and painted shrimps (L. amboinensis) are harvested from the eastern coastal reefs. Prior to late 1980’s the collecting areas were widespread in Trincomalee and Batticoloa Districts. Since mid 1990’s the collecting areas diminished due to restrictions placed by the defense authorities as a result of the internal conflict that prevailed at the time. The fishery is conducted during the calm season from March to October and divers, also called collectors from the southern and western coastal areas migrate to the east to join local divers from the east coast. Aquarium species are collected by snorkeling in shallow inshore reefs and by scuba diving in offshore reefs to a depth of about 35m. About 250 species of reef fish and about 50 species of invertebrates are collected for export. The earliest comprehensive study of the marine aquarium fish industry in Sri Lanka was carried out by Wood (1985).

  • Ontogenetic and Phylogenetic Simplification During
    Salis et al. BMC Biology (2018) 16:90 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-018-0559-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Ontogenetic and phylogenetic simplification during white stripe evolution in clownfishes Pauline Salis1, Natacha Roux1, Olivier Soulat2, David Lecchini3, Vincent Laudet1* and Bruno Frédérich4 Abstract Background: Biologists have long been fascinated by the striking diversity of complex color patterns in tropical reef fishes. However, the origins and evolution of this diversity are still poorly understood. Disentangling the evolution of simple color patterns offers the opportunity to dissect both ultimate and proximate causes underlying color diversity. Results: Here, we study clownfishes, a tribe of 30 species within the Pomacentridae that displays a relatively simple color pattern made of zero to three vertical white stripes on a dark body background. Mapping the number of white stripes on the evolutionary tree of clownfishes reveals that their color pattern diversification results from successive caudal to rostral losses of stripes. Moreover, we demonstrate that stripes always appear with a rostral to caudal stereotyped sequence during larval to juvenile transition. Drug treatments (TAE 684) during this period leads to a dose-dependent loss of stripes, demonstrating that white stripes are made of iridophores and that these cells initiate the stripe formation. Surprisingly, juveniles of several species (e.g., Amphiprion frenatus) have supplementary stripes when compared to their respective adults. These stripes disappear caudo-rostrally during the juvenile phase leading to the definitive color pattern. Remarkably, the reduction of stripe number over ontogeny matches the sequences of stripe losses during evolution, showing that color pattern diversification among clownfish lineages results from changes in developmental processes.
