Expedition dates: 6 – 12 October 2013 Report published: February 2014 Authors: Jean-Luc Solandt Marine Conservation Society Matthias Hammer (editor) Biosphere Expeditions 1 © Biosphere Expeditions, an international not-for-profit conservation organisation – www.biosphere-expeditions.org Member of the United Nations Environment Programme's Governing Council & Global Ministerial Environment Forum Member of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Abstract Coral reefs are important biodiversity hotspots that not only function as a crucial habitat for a multitude of organisms, but also provide human populations with an array of goods and services, such as food and coastal protection. Despite this, coral reefs are under threat worldwide from direct or indirect anthropogenic impacts, such as pollution, overexploitation and climate change. The coral reefs of the Musandam peninsula (Oman), situated on the Arabian Peninsula in the Strait of Hormuz, endure extreme conditions such as high salinity and temperatures, existing – indeed thriving – in what would be considered marginal and highly challenging environments for corals in other parts of the world.

  • Brama Brama) Fillets by Packaging Under a Vacuum-Skin System
    Shelf life extension of Atlantic pomfret (Brama brama) fillets by packaging under a vacuum-skin system LIPID DETERIORATION DURING CHILLED STORAGE OF ATLANTIC POMFRET (Brama brama) Francisco Pérez-Alonso1, Cristina Arias2 and Santiago P. Aubourg1,* 1 Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas (CSIC) c/ Eduardo Cabello, 6 36208-VIGO (Spain) 2 Departmento de Parasitología Universidad de Vigo As Lagoas-Marcosende 36200-VIGO (Spain) * Correspondent: e-mail: [email protected] Fax number: +34 986 292762 Phone number: +34 986 231930 Running Title: Lipid deterioration in chilled pomfret Key Words: Atlantic pomfret, chilling, muscle zones, lipid damage, amine formation SUMMARY Lipid damage produced during Atlantic pomfret (Brama brama) chilled storage (up to 19 days) was studied. For it, free fatty acid (FFA) and conjugated diene (CD) formation, peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and fluorescent compounds formation were measured in two different white muscle zones (dorsal and ventral). Comparison with volatile amine formation (total volatile base-nitrogen, TVB- N; trimethylamine-nitrogen, TMA-N) was carried out. A gradual lipid hydrolysis was observed in both zones along the whole experiment. CD and peroxides formation was important during the experiment; peroxides showed the highest value at day 15 in both zones, that was followed by a peroxide breakdown at day 19. Interaction of oxidized lipids with nucleophilic compounds present in the fish muscle led to a gradual fluorescence development during the storage time in both zones. Mean values of the lipid content showed to be higher in the ventral zone than in the dorsal one, although significant differences could not be detected (p<0.05).

Del mismo modo, es difícil entender los agradecimientos de una tesis hasta que pones el punto y final. Es en este momento cuando se puede percibir la gratitud que sientes a todas las personas que han estado presentes durante esa etapa, ya bien sea codo a codo o simplemente trayéndote un café calentito en el momento preciso. Pero también es cierto que, entre toda esa gente que ha estado ahí, hay pocas caras que se dibujan clara e intensamente en mi cabeza. En primerísimo lugar, me gustaría dar las gracias de una manera muy especial a Montse por muchos, muchísimos motivos: por darme cariño y amistad desde el día en que nos conocimos; porque a lo largo de esta década hemos compartido muchísimos momentos alegres, acompañados de risas y carcajadas, pero también los más tristes de mi vida, inundados de lágrimas y angustia; por estar ahí para lo que sea, para todo, y tener siempre tendida su mano amiga; por escucharme una y otra vez, sin cansarse, y aconsejarme sabiamente; por confiar en mí y guiarme, no solo durante el desarrollo de esta tesis, sino también en mi formación y día a día; por su eterna paciencia;… y, sobre todo, por poner en mi vida al “morenocho”, ese pequeño loquito tímido que me comería a besos.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Conservation International Indonesia Marine Program. Jl. Dr. Muwardi No. 17, Renon, Denpasar 80235 Indonesia. Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008).

This is a collaborative effort primarily between the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council, NMFS-Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center, Pacific Islands Regional Office, Division of Aquatic Resources (HI) Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (AS), Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (Guam), and Division of Fish and Wildlife (CNMI). This report attempts to summarize annual fishery performance looking at trends in catch, effort and catch rates as well as provide a source document describing various projects and activities being undertaken on a local and federal level. The report also describes several ecosystem considerations including fish biomass estimates, biological indicators, protected species, habitat, climate change, and human dimensions. Information like marine spatial planning and best scientific information available for each fishery are described. This report provides a summary of annual catches relative to the Annual Catch Limits established by the Council in collaboration with the local fishery management agencies.

Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008). Approximately 2,460 species or 60 percent of the entire reef fish The Bird’s Head Peninsula and surrounding fauna of the Indo-West Pacific inhabits this waters has attracted the attention of naturalists and region, which is commonly referred to as the scientists ever since it was first visited by Coral Triangle (CT).
