The position of the cerebral organs in the new species, being posterior to the proboscis insertion, is unusual for Eumonostilifera, which is one of the diagnostic traits of the so-far monospecific Proamphiporus Chernyshev and Polyakova, 2019, and Amphiporus rectangulus Strand, Herrera-Bachiller, Nygren, and Kånneby, 2014.

    Predator and Scavenger Aggregation to Discarded By-Catch from Dredge Fisheries: Importance of Damage Level

    Journal of Sea Research 51 (2004) 69–76 www.elsevier.com/locate/seares Short Communication Predator and scavenger aggregation to discarded by-catch from dredge fisheries: importance of damage level S.R. Jenkinsa,b,*, C. Mullena, A.R. Branda a Port Erin Marine Laboratory (University of Liverpool), Port Erin, Isle of Man, British Isles, IM9 6JA, UK b Marine Biological Association, Citadel Hill, Plymouth, PL1 2PB, UK Received 23 October 2002; accepted 22 May 2003 Abstract Predator and scavenger aggregation to simulated discards from a scallop dredge fishery was investigated in the north Irish Sea using an in situ underwater video to determine differences in the response to varying levels of discard damage. The rate and magnitude of scavenger and predator aggregation was assessed using three different types of bait, undamaged, lightly damaged and highly damaged individuals of the great scallop Pecten maximus. In each treatment scallops were agitated for 40 minutes in seawater to simulate the dredging process, then subjected to the appropriate damage level before being tethered loosely in front of the video camera. The density of predators and scavengers at undamaged scallops was low and equivalent to recorded periods with no bait. Aggregation of a range of predators and scavengers occurred at damaged bait. During the 24 hour period following baiting there was a trend of increasing magnitude of predator abundance with increasing damage level. However, badly damaged scallops were eaten quickly and lightly damaged scallops attracted a higher overall magnitude of predator abundance over a longer 4 day period. Large scale temporal variability in predator aggregation to simulated discarded biota was examined by comparison of results with those of a previous study, at the same site, 4 years previously.

ABSTRACT Th e cardiids Acanthocardia echinata (Linnaeus, 1758), A. deshayesii (Payrau- deau, 1826) and A. lunulata (Seguenza, 1879) co-occur in the Mediterranean Pleistocene and are closely similar to each other, even partially overlapping in shell morphology. Of these, only A. echinata is fairly well known. Acanthocardia deshayesii has been considered a subspecies or even a synonym of A. echinata, KEY WORDS Mollusca, whereas A. lunulata, only known from the original description, has been confused Bivalvia, with A. deshayesii. Th e univariate and multivariate morphometric analysis on six Cardiidae, Acanthocardia, shell characters substantiates the distinct taxonomic status of the three species. morphometry, Acanthocardia mucronata (Poli, 1791), Cardium duregnei Monterosato, 1891 systematics, and C. bullatum Locard, 1892 are considered synonyms of A. echinata.

A list of species is given. A distinct distribution pattern is shown for some species, and this is discussed with reference to the wave exposure. The feeding-biology of the fauna is also discussed and some suggestions are given for future research on the fauna of Corallina officinalis. -I NTRODUCT I01~ When this rese~rch work started, my intention was to find (1) which animals lived in the Qorallina growths (2) how the fauna varied with wave exposure (3) how the fauna varied with depth and (4) the seasonal variations during the year.

Private address: Beechcroft, Norwich Road, Scole, Diss, Norfolk, IP21 4DY, U.K. Abstract OʼLoughlin, P. Mark and Rowe, Francis W.E. A systematic revision of the asterinid genus Aquilonastra OʼLoughlin, 2004 (Echinodermata: Asteroidea). Memoirs of Museum Victoria 63(2): 257–287. The Indo-west Pacifi c Aquilonastra OʼLoughlin is reviewed. Eleven species are retained in Aquilonastra: A. anomala (H.L. Clark); A. batheri (Goto); A. burtonii (Gray); A. cepheus (Müller and Troschel); A. corallicola (Marsh); A. coronata (Martens); A. iranica (Mortensen); A. limboonkengi (Smith); A. minor (Hayashi); A. rosea (H.L. Clark); A. scobinata (Livingstone). Asterina lorioli Koehler is reassigned to Aquilonastra. Thirteen new species are described: A. byrneae; A. colemani; A. conandae; A. doranae; A. halseyae; A. marshae; A. moosleitneri; A. oharai; A. richmondi; A. rowleyi; A. samyni; A. watersi; A. yairi. The four subspecies of Asterina coronata Martens are junior synonyms: Asterina coronata cristata Fisher; Asterina coronata euerces Fisher; Asterina coronata fascicularis Fisher; Asterina coronata forma japonica Hayashi. The 13 fi ssiparous Red Sea specimens described by Perrier as Asteriscus wega are the syntypes. Asteriscus wega Perrier is a junior synonym of Asterina burtonii Gray.

Relative abundance of metazoans compared to all eukaryotes in (a) 11 different oxic pelagic fractions, (b) different sites and in ( c) different depths. Note that 12 data is provided from just one sample in the anoxic sediments. 13 Fig. S2: Rarefaction curves . Rarefaction curves calculated with vegan from the 14 samples divided (a) by template (RNA or DNA) or (b) by env ironment keepig as well 15 divided the samples from RNA ( discontinuous line) or DNA ( continuous line ). Both 16 plots show the rarefaction curve of all the samples. 17 Fig. S3: Jackknife clustering analysis of phylogenetic composition of the samples . 18 The chart repr esents the relative abundance within metazoan phyla in each sample. 19 Samples from extracellular DNA and the ones with less than 100 reads (DNA+RNA) 20 were removed from the analysis. Sample characteristics are expressed in colors. On 21 the right site there is th e legend. RNA and DNA are expressed in white and black 22 respectively. Picoplanktonic, nanoplanktonic, micromesoplanktonic samples and the 23 samples from the sediments are representedwith yellow, green, dark red and purple 24 respectively.
