Edited by T.N. Dautova. Vladivostok: Dalnauka, 2016. 180 p. The book summarizes results of the workshop in the area of biodiversity, marine ecology and biogeography of the South China Sea and adjacent regions held on December 21–22 in Nha Trang, Vietnam. It discusses the synthesis of the biological data concerning the region and surrounding environments, such as marine currents, sedimentation, eutrophication and pollution. The special attention is paid to the policy making for science-based conservation and rational using of the marine ecosystems along with the Asia-pacific coasts. Organizing Committee Dr. Tatiana N.

In this paper we summarize the current information about killer whales and the live-capture procedures in the western North Pacific. We have described two killer whale ecotypes in the Russian Far East: fish-eating and mammal-eating ecotypes similar to resident and transient killer whales found in the Northeastern Pacific. Resident killer whales were encountered much more frequently than transients off eastern Kamchatka, near the Commander Islands and Kuril Islands. Transient killer whales prevailed in the western and northern Okhotsk Sea and off Sakhalin Island. Mitochondrial control region haplotypes were different for resident and transient killer whales. Genetic analysis of microsatellite DNA showed that resident and transient killer whales belong to reproductively isolated populations. Values of stable isotope δ15N were significantly higher in transients, indicating their higher trophic level.

  • Transcriptome Analysis of the Reef-Building Octocoral, Heliopora
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transcriptome analysis of the reef-building octocoral, Heliopora coerulea Received: 25 August 2017 Christine Guzman1,2, Chuya Shinzato3, Tsai-Ming Lu 4 & Cecilia Conaco1 Accepted: 9 May 2018 The blue coral, Heliopora coerulea, is a reef-building octocoral that prefers shallow water and exhibits Published: xx xx xxxx optimal growth at a temperature close to that which causes bleaching in scleractinian corals. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying its biology and ecology, we generated a reference transcriptome for H. coerulea using next-generation sequencing. Metatranscriptome assembly yielded 90,817 sequences of which 71% (64,610) could be annotated by comparison to public databases. The assembly included transcript sequences from both the coral host and its symbionts, which are related to the thermotolerant C3-Gulf ITS2 type Symbiodinium. Analysis of the blue coral transcriptome revealed enrichment of genes involved in stress response, including heat-shock proteins and antioxidants, as well as genes participating in signal transduction and stimulus response. Furthermore, the blue coral possesses homologs of biomineralization genes found in other corals and may use a biomineralization strategy similar to that of scleractinians to build its massive aragonite skeleton. These fndings thus ofer insights into the ecology of H. coerulea and suggest gene networks that may govern its interactions with its environment. Octocorals are the most diverse coral group and can be found in various marine environments, including shallow tropical reefs, deep seamounts, and submarine canyons1. Tey reportedly exhibit greater resistance and resil- ience to environmental perturbations, particularly to thermal stress, compared to scleractinians2–4.
