Toxic Dinoflagellate Spores in Ships' Ballast Water
Final Report FIRDC Grant 89 I 39 Toxic dinoflagellate spores in ships' ballast water : A danger to aquaculture G.M. Hallegraeff CSIRO Marine Laboratories, GPO Box 1538, Hobart, Tasmania 7 001 April 1992 Foreword The present investigations on "Toxic dinoflagellate spores in ships' ballast water" and "its implications for aquaculture" were funded by FIRDC grant 89 I 39 (Sept 1989 - Sept 1991 ) . This research involved a collaborative effort between CSIRO Division of Fisheries and the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), and was instigated by the claim by CSIRO that the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum in Tasmanian waters could have been introduced via cyst stages contained in ships' ballast water. In February 1986, contamination of Tasmanian shellfish with dinoflagellate toxins led to the closure of 15 shellfish farms for periods up to 6 months. Subsequently, similar toxic dinoflagellate outbreaks surfaced in the Australian ports of Adelaide (Aiexandrium minutum ) and Melbourne (Aiexandrium catenella ) . Genetic evidence (rRNA fingerprints) suggest that these latter species are also ballast water introductions. The present research received considerable national and international publicity ( front page news in the Hobart "Mercury" and "Sydney Morning Herald", national television coverage on the "7.30 report" and "Beyond.2000"). The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service has responded to this evidence by introducing, as of 1 February 1990, voluntary ballast water guidelines for ships entering Australian ports from overseas. As of 1 November 1991, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) ratified these guidelines for adoption on an international basis. The present FIRDC- funded research has functioned as a catalyst for further ballast water research funds (600 K) made available by AQIS and BRR. -

Argopecten Irradians*
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES I Vol. 74: 47-59, 1991 Published July 18 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. The eelgrass canopy: an above-bottom refuge from benthic predators for juvenile bay scallops Argopecten irradians* David G.Pohle, V. Monica Bricelj8*,Zaul Garcia-Esquivel Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794-5000, USA ABSTRACT: Juvenile bay scallops Argopecten irradians commonly attach to shoots of eelgrass Zostera marina using byssal threads. Although this behavior has long been recognized, its adaptive value is poorly understood. This study examined (1) the size-specif~cnature of scallop attachment on eelgrass, and (2) the possible role of vertical attachment in providing refuge from benthic predators. Laboratory experiments using artificial eelgrass showed strong, inverse relationships between scallop size (over the range 6 to 20 mm) and several measures of attachment performance (percent attachment, rate of attachment, and height-above-bottom attained). Field experiments in which 10 to 15 mm scallops were tethered to natural eelgrass in Lake Montauk, Long Island, New York (USA), demonstrated a dramatic, highly significant enhancement of scallop survival at greater heights of attachment. Scallops tethered at 20 to 35 cm above bottom experienced > 59 O/O survival over 4 d, compared to < l1 O/O sunrival near the sediment surface. A similar pattern was observed in laboratory tethering experiments using trans- planted natural eelgrass and 3 crab predators common in mid-Atlantic embayments: Carcinus maenas, Libinia dubia, and Dyspanopeus sayi. The refuge value of vertical attachment was found, however, to be less with D. sayi than with the other predators tested, since individuals of ths species climbed eelgrass to feed on scallops in the upper canopy. -

[email protected] Abstract Microbial interactions are crucial for Earth ecosystem function, yet our knowledge about them is limited and has so far mainly existed as scattered records. Here, we have surveyed the literature involving planktonic protist interactions and gathered the information in a manually curated Protist Interaction DAtabase (PIDA). In total, we have registered ~2,500 ecological interactions from ~500 publications, spanning the last 150 years. -

Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein. -

FISHER* AND DAVID B. RUDDERS Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, PO Box 1346, Gloucester Point, VA 23062 ABSTRACT Channeled whelks, Busycotypus canaliculatus, support commercial fisheries throughout their range along the US Atlantic seaboard. Given the modest amounts of published information available on channeled whelk, this study focuses on understanding the temporal and spatial variations in growth and reproductive biology in the Mid-Atlantic region. Channeled whelks were sampled from three inshore commercially harvested resource areas in the US Mid-Atlantic: Ocean City, MD (OC); Eastern Shore of Virginia (ES); and Virginia Beach, VA (VB). The largest whelk measured 230-mm shell length (SL) and was recorded from OC. -

Signed: Date: 12/09/2014 i Determination of the Abundance and Population Structure of Buccinum undatum in North Wales Zara Turtle Abstract A mark-recapture study and fisheries data analysis for the common whelk, Buccinum undatum, was undertaken for catches on a commercial fishing vessel operating from The fishing location, north Wales, from June-July 2014. Laboratory experiments were conducted on B.undatum to investigate tag retention rates and behavioural responses after being exposed to a number of treatments. Thick rubber bands were found to have a 100 % tag retention rate after four months. Riddling, tagging and air exposure do not affect the behavioural responses of B.undatum. The mark-recapture study was used to estimate population size and movement. 4007 whelks were tagged with thick rubber bands over three tagging events. -
Cyanobacterial Toxins: Saxitoxins
WHO/SDE/WSH/xxxxx English only Cyanobacterial toxins: Saxitoxins Background document for development of WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality and Guidelines for Safe Recreational Water Environments Version for Public Review Nov 2019 © World Health Organization 20XX Preface Information on cyanobacterial toxins, including saxitoxins, is comprehensively reviewed in a recent volume to be published by the World Health Organization, “Toxic Cyanobacteria in Water” (TCiW; Chorus & Welker, in press). This covers chemical properties of the toxins and information on the cyanobacteria producing them as well as guidance on assessing the risks of their occurrence, monitoring and management. In contrast, this background document focuses on reviewing the toxicological information available for guideline value derivation and the considerations for deriving the guideline values for saxitoxin in water. Sections 1-3 and 8 are largely summaries of respective chapters in TCiW and references to original studies can be found therein.
