  • First Record of the Reticulated Dragonet, Callionymus Reticulatus
    ACTA ICHTHYOLOGICA ET PISCATORIA (2017) 47 (2): 163–171 DOI: 10.3750/AIEP/02098 FIRST RECORD OF THE RETICULATED DRAGONET, CALLIONYMUS RETICULATUS VALENCIENNES, 1837 (ACTINOPTERYGII: CALLIONYMIFORMES: CALLIONYMIDAE), FROM THE BALEARIC ISLANDS, WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN Ronald FRICKE1* and Francesc ORDINES2 1Lauda-Königshofen, Germany 2Instituto Español de Oceanografía, Centre Oceanogràfic de les Balears, Palma de Mallorca, Spain Fricke R., Ordines F. 2017. First record of the reticulated dragonet, Callionymus reticulatus Valenciennes, 1837 (Actinopterygii: Callionymiformes: Callionymidae), from the Balearic Islands, western Mediterranean. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 47 (2): 163–171. Background. The reticulated dragonet, Callionymus reticulatus, was originally described based on a single specimen, the holotype from Malaga, Spain, south-western Mediterranean, probably collected before 1831. The holotype is now disintegrated; the specific characteristics are no longer discernible. The species was subsequently recorded from several north-eastern Atlantic localities (Western Sahara to central Norway), but missing in the Mediterranean. Material and methods. Specimens of C. reticulatus were observed and collected during two cruises in 2014 and 2016 in the Balearic Islands off Mallorca and Menorca. The collected specimens (8 females) have been deposited in the collection of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJ). All individuals of C. reticulatus were collected from beam trawl samples carried out during the DRAGONSAL0914 in September 2014, and during the MEDITS_ES05_16 bottom trawl survey in June 2016, on shelf and slope bottoms around the Balearic Islands. Both surveys used a ‘Jennings’ beam trawl to sample the epi-benthic communities, which was the main objective of the DRAGONSAL0914 and a complementary objective in the MEDITS_ES05_16. The ‘Jennings’ beam trawl has a 2 m horizontal opening, 0.5 m vertical opening and a 5 mm diamond mesh in the codend.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions WATER QUALITY 13.2.1. The principal water quality data sources that have been used to inform this study are: • Environment Agency (EA) WFD classification status and reporting (e.g. EA 2015); and • EA long-term water quality monitoring data for the tidal Thames. Environment Agency WFD Classification Status 13.2.2. The tidal River Thames is divided into three transitional water bodies as part of the Thames River Basin Management Plan (EA 2015) (Thames Upper [ID GB530603911403], Thames Middle [ID GB53060391140] and Thames Lower [ID GB530603911401]. Each of these waterbodies are classified as heavily modified waterbodies (HMWBs). The most recent EA assessment carried out in 2016, confirms that all three of these water bodies are classified as being at Moderate ecological potential (EA 2018). 13.2.3. The Thames Estuary at the London Resort Project Site is located within the Thames Middle Transitional water body, which is a heavily modified water body on account of the following designated uses (Cycle 2 2015-2021): • Coastal protection; • Flood protection; and • Navigation. 13.2.4. The downstream extent of the Thames Middle transitional water body is located approximately 12 km downstream of the Kent Project Site and 8 km downstream of the Essex Project Site near Lower Hope Point. Downstream of this location is the Thames Lower water body which extends to the outer Thames Estuary. 13.2.5. A summary of the current Thames Middle water body WFD status is presented in Table A13.2.1, together with those supporting elements that do not currently meet at least Good status and their associated objectives.

  • APPENDIX 1 Resources for Training in Reef Monitoring Skills Suggested Training Plan the Entire Training Course Can Actually Be Taught in a Week’S Time
    APPENDIX 1 Resources for training in reef monitoring skills Suggested training plan The entire training course can actually be taught in a weeks time. However, it is recommended that the training be spread over the course of 3 years in order to allow the team sufficient time to practice under supervision and to allow the study area to actually change in response to management activities enough to be observed. If a community is being trained by external trainers, at least two visits by them should be planned for each year. The trainees should be encouraged to collect data 2 to 4 times a year (i.e. once per season) together with their local development workers. Year & Scheduled Activities Ongoing Season Activities Year 1. Season 1. Introduce the idea of participatory monitoring & evaluation to (e.g. Nov.-Mar.) key community leaders. Check the site for appropriate biophysical and socioeconomic conditions, logistics, and counterpart arrangements and offer to conduct the training. Year 1. Season 2. Review of basic reef ecology and management. Teach Chapters (e.g. Apr.-May) 1-4 and the data collection and recording steps of Chapters 5- 3-4 days 9. Have trainees practice collecting data while experienced people collect baseline data (on the benthos, reef fishes, and invertebrates). Intro to Monitoring & Evaluation of Coral Reefs (1 hr talk) Observing Corals and Algae [data collection] (1 hr talk/ 1 day fieldwork) Observing Reef Fishes [data collection] (1 hr talk/ 1 day fieldwork) Monitoring Fish Catch [data collection] (1-2 hr talk & planning) Human Activities & Natural Disturbances (1 hr talk) Drawing Up a Monitoring Plan (1-2 hr talk & planning) Year 1.
