December 2015 Taxonomy and diversity of the sponge fauna from Walters Shoal, a shallow seamount in the Western Indian Ocean region Robyn Pauline Payne Keywords Indian Ocean Seamount Walters Shoal Sponges Taxonomy Systematics Diversity Biogeography ii Abstract Taxonomy and diversity of the sponge fauna from Walters Shoal, a shallow seamount in the Western Indian Ocean region R. P. Payne MSc Thesis, Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape. Seamounts are poorly understood ubiquitous undersea features, with less than 4% sampled for scientific purposes globally. Consequently, the fauna associated with seamounts in the Indian Ocean remains largely unknown, with less than 300 species recorded. One such feature within this region is Walters Shoal, a shallow seamount located on the South Madagascar Ridge, which is situated approximately 400 nautical miles south of Madagascar and 600 nautical miles east of South Africa. Even though it penetrates the euphotic zone (summit is 15 m below the sea surface) and is protected by the Southern Indian Ocean Deep- Sea Fishers Association, there is a paucity of biodiversity and oceanographic data.

    153 ANNOTATED Checklist of the World's Marine Lobsters

    THE RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2010 Supplement No. 23: 153–181 Date of Publication: 31 Oct.2010 © National University of Singapore ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE WORLD’s MARINE LOBSTERS (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: ASTACIDEA, GLYPHEIDEA, ACHELATA, POLYCHELIDA) Tin-Yam Chan Institute of Marine Biology, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung 20224, Taiwan, R.O.C. Email:[email protected] ABSTRACT. – Marine lobsters are defined as consisting of four infraorders of decapod crustaceans: Astacidea, Glypheidea, Achelata and Polychelida. Together they form the suborder Macrura Reptantia. A checklist of the currently recognized six families, 55 genera and 248 species (with four subspecies) of living marine lobsters is provided, together with their synonyms in recent literature and information on the type locality of the valid taxa. Notes on alternative taxonomies and justifications for the choice of taxonomy are given. Although Caroli Linnaeus himself described the first marine lobster in 1758, the discovery rate of marine lobsters remains high to this day. KEY WORDS. – Crustacea, Decapoda, lobsters, marine, checklist, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION al., 2005). These results also showed that the relationships of the superfamilies and families of marine lobsters are mostly Commercialy, lobsters are generally the most highly prized different from the previously well-established scheme of crustaceans in all parts of the world. The taxonomy of marine Holthuis (1991). However, these phylogenetic studies have lobsters has remained fairly stable over many years and some yielded significantly contrasting results (see Patek et al., 2006, recent authors, such as Burukovsky (1983) and Phillips et al. Tsang et al., 2008; Bracken et al., 2009; Toon et al., 2009).

    Discoveries of the Census of Marine Life: Making Ocean Life Count

    Discoveries of the Census of Marine Life: Making Ocean Life Count Over the 10-year course of the recently completed Census of Marine Life, a global network of researchers in more than 80 nations has collaborated to improve our understanding of marine biodiversity – past, present, and future. Providing insight into this remarkable project, this book explains the rationale behind the Census and highlights some of its most important and dramatic findings, illustrated with full-color photographs throughout. It explores how new technologies and partnerships have contributed to greater knowledge of marine life, from unknown species and habitats, to migration routes and distribution patterns, and to a better appreciation of how the oceans are changing. Looking to the future, it identifies-what needs to be done to close the remaining gaps in our knowledge, and provides information that will enable us to manage resources more effectively, conserve diversity, reverse habitat losses, and respond to global climate change. PAUL SNELGROVE is a Professor in Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Ocean Sciences Centre and Biology Department. He chaired the Synthesis Group of the Census of Marine Life that has overseen the final phase of the program. He is now Director of the NSERC Canadian Healthy Oceans Network, a research collaboration of 65 marine scientists from coast to coast in Canada that continues to census ocean life.

Activities took place at 3 levels – national data gap-analyses by 5 countries (South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya and Madagascar); integration of the national analyses into a regional analysis at a workshop held at the Oceanographic Research Institute (ORI) in Durban (South Africa); and drafting of research proposals for budgeting purposes. Each of the 5 countries produced a national data gap-analysis and needs analysis for Component 2, using a pre-designed template which requested information at species and fisheries levels, metadata of existing datasets, and a catalogue of published and unpublished literature.
