[email protected] ALIEN SPECIES IN THE CANTABRIAN SEA Alien or non-indigenous species represent a potential risk to receiving ecosystems, since they may develop an invasive behavior, negatively affecting the native diversity and causing, in some cases, economic losses. The Cantabrian Sea (southern Bay of Biscay) is considered a potential area for the successful establishment of alien species. It is an area influenced by the Gulf Stream with a gradient of warmer water, and delimited northwards and westwards by regions with colder waters. On the other hand, during the last decades, there has been an increasing on the average water temperature in associated to global warming (IPCC, 2007). Figure 1. A. Anadara transversa, B.

The main introduction vector is the aquaculture activities, although it is indubitable that the shipping activities and the ballast water are also important factors. This updated checklist gathers 13 alien bivalve species and 2 cryptogenic species reported from the Bay of Biscay. Only four of them have developed an invasive behavior in the Cantabrian Sea; however, nine species are established in this area, and most of them have a certain potential to become invasive. Therefore, monitoring studies of these species are a priority in order to evaluate the evolution of both their status and their expansion rate. REFERENCES 1. Arias, A., Richter, A. and Anadón, N.

Department of Zoology and Aquaculture, Acharya Darwin Ch. and P Padmavathi Nagarjuna University Nagarjuna Nagar, Abstract Andhra Pradesh, India Among the various groups represented in the macrobenthic fauna of the Bay of Bengal at Prakasam P Padmavathi district, Andhra Pradesh, India, molluscs were the dominant group. Molluscs were exploited for Department of Zoology and industrial, edible and ornamental purposes and their extensive use has been reported way back from time Aquaculture, Acharya immemorial. Hence the present study was focused to investigate the diversity of Molluscan fauna along Nagarjuna University the Paleru and Moosy backwaters of Prakasam district during 2016-17 as these backwaters are not so far Nagarjuna Nagar, explored for malacofauna. A total of 23 species of molluscs (16 species of gastropods belonging to 12 Andhra Pradesh, India families and 7 species of bivalves representing 5 families) have been reported in the present study. Among these, gastropods such as Umbonium vestiarium, Telescopium telescopium and Pirenella cingulata, and bivalves like Crassostrea madrasensis and Meretrix meretrix are found to be the most dominant species in these backwaters. Keywords: Malacofauna, diversity, gastropods, bivalves, backwaters 1. Introduction Molluscans are the second largest phylum next to Arthropoda with estimates of 80,000- 100,000 described species [1]. These animals are soft bodied and are extremely diversified in shape and colour.

  • New Report and Taxonomic Comparison of Anadara and Tegillarca Species of Arcidae (Bivalvia: Arcoidea) from Southern Coast of India
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2013): 4.438 New Report and Taxonomic Comparison of Anadara and Tegillarca Species of Arcidae (Bivalvia: Arcoidea) from Southern Coast of India Souji.S1, Tresa Radhakrishnan2 Department of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries, University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram-695 581, Kariyavattom, Kerala, India Abstract: Arcacea family is economically important group of animals. Most of the species in this family are misplaced into invalid subgenera and Indian arcids are wanted a revision in systematic positon. In the case of Arcidae family; all of the species are treated under Anadara as main genera, however, some authors considered that the Tegillarca genus is only a sub genus of Arcidae family. Anadara is the commercially important genus of bivalves of Arcidae family. These two genera are confused by many taxonomists and some considered that the morphometric changes of Tegillarca are only the habitual adaptation. But the collected samples from the same habitat from the southern part of India is clearly demarked the distinction between Anadara species and Tegillarca species. In this paper the differences between these two genera are illustrated with the help of specimens from the same habitat and with the help of taxonomic literature of these genera. Species level classification was done based on the morphometric characters like peculiarities of (i) periostracum, (ii) cardinal area, (iii) umbo, (iv) adductor muscle scar and (v) pallial line. The specimens were collected from Neendakara, Vizhinjam and Kovalam along with the south west coast and Thiruchendur in Tamil Nadu, south east coast of India.

  • Biogeographical Homogeneity in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. II

Temporal variation in Lebanese bivalve biota Fabio Crocetta1,*, Ghazi Bitar2, Helmut Zibrowius3, Marco Oliverio4 1Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Villa Comunale, 80121, Napoli, Italy 2Department of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Lebanese University, Hadath, Lebanon 3Le Corbusier 644, 280 Boulevard Michelet, 13008 Marseille, France 4Dipartimento di Biologia e Biotecnologie ‘Charles Darwin’, University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’, Viale dell’Università 32, 00185 Roma, Italy ABSTRACT: Lebanon (eastern Mediterranean Sea) is an area of particular biogeographic signifi- cance for studying the structure of eastern Mediterranean marine biodiversity and its recent changes. Based on literature records and original samples, we review here the knowledge of the Lebanese marine bivalve biota, tracing its changes during the last 170 yr. The updated checklist of bivalves of Lebanon yielded a total of 114 species (96 native and 18 alien taxa), accounting for ca. 26.5% of the known Mediterranean Bivalvia and thus representing a particularly poor fauna. Analysis of the 21 taxa historically described on Lebanese material only yielded 2 available names. Records of 24 species are new for the Lebanese fauna, and Lioberus ligneus is also a new record for the Mediterranean Sea. Comparisons between molluscan records by past (before 1950) and modern (after 1950) authors revealed temporal variations and qualitative modifications of the Lebanese bivalve fauna, mostly affected by the introduction of Erythraean species. The rate of recording of new alien species (evaluated in decades) revealed later first local arrivals (after 1900) than those observed for other eastern Mediterranean shores, while the peak in records in conjunc- tion with our samplings (1991 to 2010) emphasizes the need for increased field work to monitor their arrival and establishment.

  • ESENIAS Workshop: Marine Group
    ESENIAS Workshop: marine group Athens 12‐13 October 2015 Venue: HCMR ‐ Agios Kosmas, Hellenikon The meeting was attended by Dr Argyro Zenetos (chairperson), Dr Paraskevi Karachle (rapporteur), and Dr Fabio Crocetta from HCMR, Dr Katja Jelic representing Croatia, Dr Petya Ivanova and Dr Elitsa Stefanova, representing Bulgaria and Dr Konstantinos Tsiamis, invited speaker from the Joint Research Center, Italy. 1st DAY Sessions Following a welcome and a round of introductions, A. Zenetos communicated an introductory presentation on the ESENIAS‐TOOLS project aim and objectives (prepared by Dr Teodora Trichkova). The structure of the project with emphasis on the WP related to Marine Alien species was further analysed. The state of art on marine species in ESENIAS was presented by A. Zenetos. Starting from a previous analysis of Marine data in the ESENIAS area (2013: Zenetos & Karachle, 2015 in ESENIAS book), some preliminary data were shown based on the update by September 2015. A preliminary list of species and their distribution have been compiled from all available sources (websites, recent literature, reports). Comparison of 2015 data with those of 2013, shows an inflation of NIS in Black Sea countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey) in 2015. It is believed that this is an artifact due to the bulk of data which were transferred from the AquaNIS website. A need for validation of these data is needed by country experts and taxonomists. To fulfill obligation for task 2.4 ‘Prioritisation of species and preparation of data fact sheets for priority species’ a list with the most invasive species throughout the Mediterranean and the Black Sea at Marine Strategy Framework Directive Area level, was prepared so as to be widely discussed.

More recently, the analysis of protein and DNA polymorphism has provided a means to overcome difficulties in distinguishing the different species of oysters based solely on shell morphology. In order to identify oysters of the Tunisian north-east coast, we sequenced a 16S rRNA mitochondrial fragment from 68 oysters sampled from the Bizert Lagoon and the Gulf of Hammamet in northern Tunisia. Comparison of oyster 16S rRNA sequences available in GenBank showed the presence of both Ostreola stentina and Crassostrea gigas in our samples, which could not be detected on the basis of shell morphology only.

  • Invertebrate Animals (Metazoa: Invertebrata) of the Atanasovsko Lake, Bulgaria
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, 22: 45-71, 2015 Invertebrate Animals (Metazoa: Invertebrata) of the Atanasovsko Lake, Bulgaria Zdravko Hubenov, Lyubomir Kenderov, Ivan Pandourski Abstract: The role of the Atanasovsko Lake for storage and protection of the specific faunistic diversity, characteristic of the hyper-saline lakes of the Bulgarian seaside is presented. The fauna of the lake and surrounding waters is reviewed, the taxonomic diversity and some zoogeographical and ecological features of the invertebrates are analyzed. The lake system includes from freshwater to hyper-saline basins with fast changing environment. A total of 6 types, 10 classes, 35 orders, 82 families and 157 species are known from the Atanasovsko Lake and the surrounding basins. They include 56 species (35.7%) marine and marine-brackish forms and 101 species (64.3%) brackish-freshwater, freshwater and terrestrial forms, connected with water. For the first time, 23 species in this study are established (12 marine, 1 brackish and 10 freshwater). The marine and marine- brackish species have 4 types of ranges – Cosmopolitan, Atlantic-Indian, Atlantic-Pacific and Atlantic. The Atlantic (66.1%) and Cosmopolitan (23.2%) ranges that include 80% of the species, predominate. Most of the fauna (over 60%) has an Atlantic-Mediterranean origin and represents an impoverished Atlantic-Mediterranean fauna. The freshwater-brackish, freshwater and terrestrial forms, connected with water, that have been established from the Atanasovsko Lake, have 2 main types of ranges – species, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it and species, distributed only in the Palaearctic. The representatives of the first type (52.4%) predomi- nate. They are related to the typical marine coastal habitats, optimal for the development of certain species.

Morphological and molecular analysis allowed clarifying the confused taxonomy of the largest alien ark clam species invading Italian waters and the Mediterranean Sea. Analysis of the distribution and density data demonstrated that, along the Italian coast, A. kagoshimensis is mostly found at depths of 8 to 50 m, with a catch frequency of more than 98% in the hauls involving silty-clay sediment at a depth of 8-30 m. The hotspot map clearly shows a reduction in the distribution area of the species from 2010 to 2012.
