  • National Review of Ostrea Angasi Aquaculture: Historical Culture, Current Methods and Future Priorities
    National review of Ostrea angasi aquaculture: historical culture, current methods and future priorities Christine Crawford Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies ! [email protected] " secure.utas.edu.au/profles/staff/imas/Christine-Crawford Executive summary Currently in Australia Ostrea angasi oysters (angasi) are being cultured on a small scale, with several farmers growing relatively small numbers of angasis on their predominately Sydney rock or Pacifc oyster farms. Very few farmers are culturing commercially viable quantities of angasi oysters. There are several reasons for this. Although angasi oysters occur in the intertidal zone, they are naturally most abundant in the subtidal and are less tolerant of fuctuating environmental conditions, especially temperature and salinity, than other oyster species. They also have a much shorter shelf life and start to gape after one to two days. Additionally, angasi oysters are susceptible to Bonamiosis, a parasitic disease which has caused major mortalities in several areas. Stress caused by extremes or a combination of factors such as high stocking densities, rough handling, poor food, high temperatures and low salinities have all been observed to increase the prevalence of Bonamiosis. Growth rates of angasi oysters have also been variable, ranging from two to four years to reach market size. From discussions with oyster famers, managers and researchers and from a review of the literature I suggest that the survival and growth of cultured angasi oysters could be signifcantly improved by altering some farm management practices. Firstly, growout techniques need to be specifcally developed for angasi oysters which maintain a low stress environment (not modifcations from other oysters).

Licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0. Available: https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/4047991. (May 2018). 1 Native Range and Status in the United States Native Range From Perry (2018): “Original range presumed to be in fresh to estuarine waters from the southwestern Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, through the Gulf of Mexico to Vera Cruz, Mexico (Williams 1984).” 1 Status in the United States From Perry (2018): “The Harris mud crab was introduced to California in 1937 and is now abundant in the brackish waters of San Francisco Bay and freshwaters of the Central Valley (Aquatic Invaders, Elkhorn Slough Foundation). Ricketts and Calvin (1952) noted its occurrence in Coos Bay, Oregon in 1950. Rhithropanopeus harrisii, a common resident of Texas estuaries, has recently expanded its range to freshwater reservoirs in that state (Howells 2001; […]). They have been found in the E.V. Spence, Colorado City, Tradinghouse Creek, Possum Kingdom, and Lake Balmorhea reservoirs. These occurrences are the first records of this species in freshwater inland lakes.” From Fofonoff et al. (2018): “[…] R. harrisii has invaded many estuaries in different parts of the world, and has even colonized some freshwater reservoirs in Texas and Oklahoma, where high mineral content of the water may promote survival and permit reproduction (Keith 2006; Boyle 2010).” This species is in trade in the United States.

ABSTRACT Screening of mud crab genus Scylla was conducted in four locations (Marudu Bay, Lundu, Taiping, Setiu) representing Malaysia. Scylla olivacea with abnormal primary and secondary sexual characters were prevalent (approximately 42.27% of the local screened S. olivacea population) in Marudu Bay, Sabah. A total of six different types of abnormalities were described. Crabs with type 1 and type 3 were immature males, type 2 and type 4 were mature males, type 5 were immature females and type 6 were mature females. The abdomen of all crabs with abnormalities were dented on both sides along the abdomen's middle line.

  • Estuarine Immigration by Crab Postlarvae: Mechanisms, Reliability and Adaptive Significance
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published November 26 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Estuarine immigration by crab postlarvae: mechanisms, reliability and adaptive significance John H. Christy*, Steven G. Morgan** Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Apartado 2072, Balboa, Ancon, Panama or Unit 0948, APO AA 34002-0948, USA ABSTRACT: Most estuarine crab larvae emigrate from estuaries soon after they hatch, develop to the postlarval stage in the coastal ocean and then immigrate to estuaries and settle in adult habitats. We studled the patterns and mechanisms of immigration by postlarvae of 9 crab taxa in the small, high- salinity North Inlet estuary (South Carolina, USA) by sampling the plankton daily for 32 d over the length of the estuary. A concurrent study of larval production and flux showed that all taxa rapidly erni- grate, thereby establishing empirically the importance of immigration in this estuary and giving us the rare opportunity to compare the relative species abundance of emigrating larvae and immigrating post- larvae. Contrary to the popular view that planktonic developn~entin the sea uncouples larval recruit- ment from production, the community composition of emigrants and immigrants were comparable. Postlarvae immigrated at night and primarily on large amplitude flood tides. We show that this pattern is common in other estuaries and we argue that it reduces fish predation on immigrating postlarvae. Saltatory, up-estuary immigration was evident in 5 species that moved from the lower to the upper estuary (4 km) in 1 to 3 d. Although immigration rates have not been measured directly in other estu- aries, a study of postlarval settlement in Mobile Bay suggests that rates may vary geographically in relation to variation in the tidal regime.

These reports have been produced by Georgia DOT in- house cultural resource staff and by consultants under contract with the Georgia DOT. Reports within the series present information ranging from cultural resource contextual themes to specific data associated with historic properties considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places that would be affected by transportation projects. Each report addresses research questions and the conclusions and interpretations contained therein reflect the theoretical orientation, background, and assorted biases of the authors. Each manuscript has been prepared as a result of a project with Georgia DOT. The reports are distributed by the Office of Environment/Location, Georgia Department of Transportation.
