Dear Conference Participant On behalf of the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) and our sponsorswe would like to welcome you to Sydney for the 9th International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions (ICMB-IX). Sydney is one of the world's iconic harbour cities with picturesque beaches and national parks to explore and well known attractions including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House to visit. There is great diving at North Head and snorkelling in many parts of the outer harbour. We hope you will take some time to explore all that the city and its sur- roundings have to offer. We are grateful for the terrific efforts of our local organizing committee as well as for the generous support of: • Cawthon Institute • Centre of Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis (CEBRA) • NSW Department of Primary Industries • New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries • North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) • National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research Ltd (NIWA) and the local hosts: • University of New South Wales • Sydney Institute of Marine Sciences (SIMS) Above all else we are grateful for your participation and willingness to discuss your ideas latest research results and vision. Among the papers, posters, and plenary presentations that comprise the conference we hope you will find many opportunities for discussion and new collaborations. Finally we hope this summation of the state of the field will provide solutions to the problems of marine invasive species as well as generate new research directions. Once again welcome to the 9th International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions and we look forward to a fun and thought-provoking event!

E-mail: [email protected] 2Universidad Austral de Chile, Departamento de Biología Marina, Campus Isla Teja, Casilla 567, Valdivia, Chile. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Incrustatus comauensis n. gen. & n. sp. (Octocorallia: Clavulariidae) is described from Chile. It occurs in shallow water from Concepción to the southern fjord region. The genus forms stolons on mytilid shells and rocks, or encrusting sheets on Crepidula shells (Gastropoda), polychaete tubes, gorgonians, and other substrata. The sclerites of the new taxon are 8-radiates and derivatives of these. The polyps are unarmed or posses a few irregularly arranged spindles. The new genus is compared with another taxon that forms encrusting sheets or stolons. Key words: Coelenterata, Cnidaria, Octocorallia, Alcyonacea, Clavulariidae, benthos, Incrustatus, new genus, new species, Chile Introduction The shallow water soft coral fauna of the Chilean coast is still almost completely unknown. To date one stoloniferous species has been described from Chile, Clavularia magelhaenica Studer, 1878, from the Straits of Magellan. From 1997 onwards, Verena Häussermann and Günter Försterra investigated the anthozoan fauna of Chile, with a focus on the South Chilean fjord region, and collected many specimens. This soft coral collection includes several undescribed species of Alcyonium, a species of Renilla, and some possible clavulariids, among which was an as yet undescribed new genus that is the subject of this paper.

  • Coelenterata: Anthozoa), with Diagnoses of New Taxa
    PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 94(3), 1981, pp. 902-947 KEY TO THE GENERA OF OCTOCORALLIA EXCLUSIVE OF PENNATULACEA (COELENTERATA: ANTHOZOA), WITH DIAGNOSES OF NEW TAXA Frederick M. Bayer Abstract.—A serial key to the genera of Octocorallia exclusive of the Pennatulacea is presented. New taxa introduced are Olindagorgia, new genus for Pseudopterogorgia marcgravii Bayer; Nicaule, new genus for N. crucifera, new species; and Lytreia, new genus for Thesea plana Deich- mann. Ideogorgia is proposed as a replacement ñame for Dendrogorgia Simpson, 1910, not Duchassaing, 1870, and Helicogorgia for Hicksonella Simpson, December 1910, not Nutting, May 1910. A revised classification is provided. Introduction The key presented here was an essential outgrowth of work on a general revisión of the octocoral fauna of the western part of the Atlantic Ocean. The far-reaching zoogeographical affinities of this fauna made it impossible in the course of this study to ignore genera from any part of the world, and it soon became clear that many of them require redefinition according to modern taxonomic standards. Therefore, the type-species of as many genera as possible have been examined, often on the basis of original type material, and a fully illustrated generic revisión is in course of preparation as an essential first stage in the redescription of western Atlantic species. The key prepared to accompany this generic review has now reached a stage that would benefit from a broader and more objective testing under practical conditions than is possible in one laboratory. For this reason, and in order to make the results of this long-term study available, even in provisional form, not only to specialists but also to the growing number of ecologists, biochemists, and physiologists interested in octocorals, the key is now pre- sented in condensed form with minimal illustration.

  • First Report of the Asian Seaweed Sargassum Filicinum Harvey (Fucales) in California, USA
    First Report of the Asian Seaweed Sargassum filicinum Harvey (Fucales) in California, USA Kathy Ann Miller1, John M. Engle2, Shinya Uwai3, Hiroshi Kawai3 1University Herbarium, University of California, Berkeley, California, USA 2 Marine Science Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, California, USA 3 Research Center for Inland Seas, Kobe University, Rokkodai, Kobe 657–8501, Japan correspondence: Kathy Ann Miller e-mail: [email protected] fax: 1-510-643-5390 telephone: 510-387-8305 1 ABSTRACT We report the occurrence of the brown seaweed Sargassum filicinum Harvey in southern California. Sargassum filicinum is native to Japan and Korea. It is monoecious, a trait that increases its chance of establishment. In October 2003, Sargassum filicinum was collected in Long Beach Harbor. In April 2006, we discovered three populations of this species on the leeward west end of Santa Catalina Island. Many of the individuals were large, reproductive and senescent; a few were small, young but precociously reproductive. We compared the sequences of the mitochondrial cox3 gene for 6 individuals from the 3 sites at Catalina with 3 samples from 3 sites in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan region. The 9 sequences (469 bp in length) were identical. Sargassum filicinum may have been introduced through shipping to Long Beach; it may have spread to Catalina via pleasure boats from the mainland. Key words: California, cox3, invasive seaweed, Japan, macroalgae, Sargassum filicinum, Sargassum horneri INTRODUCTION The brown seaweed Sargassum muticum (Yendo) Fensholt, originally from northeast Asia, was first reported on the west coast of North America in the early 20th c. (Scagel 1956), reached southern California in 1970 (Setzer & Link 1971) and has become a common component of California intertidal and subtidal communities (Ambrose and Nelson 1982, Deysher and Norton 1982, Wilson 2001, Britton-Simmons 2004).

Read Full License Page 1/27 Abstract Background Over the last decade, intensity and frequency of Sargassum blooms in the Caribbean Sea and central Atlantic Ocean have dramatically increased, causing growing ecological, social and economic concern throughout the entire Caribbean region. These golden-brown tides form an ecosystem that maintains life for a large number of associated species, and their circulation across the Atlantic Ocean support the displacement and maybe the settlement of various species, especially microorganisms. To comprehensively identify the micro- and meiofauna associated to Sargassum, one hundred samples were collected during the 2018 tide events that were the largest ever recorded. Results We investigated the composition and the existence of specic species in three compartments, namely, Sargassum at tide sites, in the surrounding seawater, and in inland seaweed storage sites. Metabarcoding data revealed shifts between compartments in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities, and large differences for eukaryotes especially bryozoans, nematodes and ciliates.
