  • Cascading Effects of Predator Richness
    REVIEWS REVIEWS REVIEWS Cascading effects of predator richness John F Bruno1* and Bradley J Cardinale2 Biologists have long known that predators play a key role in structuring ecological communities, but recent research suggests that predator richness – the number of genotypes, species, and functional groups that com- prise predator assemblages – can also have cascading effects on communities and ecosystem properties. Changes in predator richness, including the decreases resulting from extinctions and the increases resulting from exotic invasions, can alter the composition, diversity, and population dynamics of lower trophic levels. However, the magnitude and direction of these effects are highly variable and depend on environmental con- text and natural history, and so are difficult to predict. This is because species at higher trophic levels exhibit many indirect, non-additive, and behavioral interactions. The next steps in predator biodiversity research will be to increase experimental realism and to incorporate current knowledge about the functional role of preda- tor richness into ecosystem management.

  • Determination of Trophic Relationships Within a High Arctic Marine Food Web Using 613C and 615~ Analysis *

Determination of trophic relationships within a high Arctic marine food web using 613c and 615~ analysis * Keith A. ~obson'.2, Harold E. welch2 ' Department of Biology. University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Canada S7N OWO Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Freshwater Institute, 501 University Crescent, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N6 ABSTRACT: We measured stable-carbon (13C/12~)and/or nitrogen (l5N/l4N)isotope ratios in 322 tissue samples (minus lipids) representing 43 species from primary producers through polar bears Ursus maritimus in the Barrow Strait-Lancaster Sound marine food web during July-August, 1988 to 1990. 613C ranged from -21.6 f 0.3%0for particulate organic matter (POM) to -15.0 f 0.7%0for the predatory amphipod Stegocephalus inflatus. 615~was least enriched for POM (5.4 +. O.8%0), most enriched for polar bears (21.1 f 0.6%0), and showed a step-wise enrichment with trophic level of +3.8%0.We used this enrichment value to construct a simple isotopic food-web model to establish trophic relationships within thls marine ecosystem. This model confirms a food web consisting primanly of 5 trophic levels. b13C showed no discernible pattern of enrichment after the first 2 trophic levels, an effect that could not be attributed to differential lipid concentrations in food-web components. Although Arctic cod Boreogadus saida is an important link between primary producers and higher trophic-level vertebrates during late summer, our isotopic model generally predicts closer links between lower trophic-level invertebrates and several species of seabirds and marine mammals than previously established.

  • Controls and Structure of the Microbial Loop
    Controls and Structure of the Microbial Loop A symposium organized by the Microbial Oceanography summer course sponsored by the Agouron Foundation Saturday, July 1, 2006 Asia Room, East-West Center, University of Hawaii Symposium Speakers: Peter J. leB Williams (University of Bangor, Wales) David L. Kirchman (University of Delaware) Daniel J. Repeta (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute) Grieg Steward (University of Hawaii) The oceans constitute the largest ecosystems on the planet, comprising more than 70% of the surface area and nearly 99% of the livable space on Earth. Life in the oceans is dominated by microbes; these small, singled-celled organisms constitute the base of the marine food web and catalyze the transformation of energy and matter in the sea. The microbial loop describes the dynamics of microbial food webs, with bacteria consuming non-living organic matter and converting this energy and matter into living biomass. Consumption of bacteria by predation recycles organic matter back into the marine food web. The speakers of this symposium will explore the processes that control the structure and functioning of microbial food webs and address some of these fundamental questions: What aspects of microbial activity do we need to measure to constrain energy and material flow into and out of the microbial loop? Are we able to measure bacterioplankton dynamics (biomass, growth, production, respiration) well enough to edu/agouroninstitutecourse understand the contribution of the microbial loop to marine systems? What factors control the flow of material and energy into and out of the microbial loop? At what scales (space and time) do we need to measure processes controlling the growth and metabolism of microorganisms? How does our knowledge of microbial community structure and diversity influence our understanding of the function of the microbial loop?

CALIFORNIA MARINE FISH LANDINGS FOR 1972 LEO PINKAS Marine Resources Region 1.1. INTRODUCTION The protection, propagation, and wise utilization of California's living marine resources (established as common property by statute, Section 1600, Fish and Game Code) is dependent upon the welding of biological, environment- al, economic, and sociological factors. Fundamental to each of these factors, as well as the entire management pro- cess, are harvest records. The California Department of Fish and Game began gathering commercial fisheries land- ing data in 1916. Commercial fish catches were first published in 1929 for the years 1926 and 1927. This report, the 32nd in the landing series, is for the calendar year 1972. It summarizes commercial fishing activities in marine as well as fresh waters and includes the catches of the sportfishing partyboat fleet. Preliminary landing data are published annually in the circular series which also enumerates certain fishery products produced from the catch.

  • Why Pelagic Planktivores Should Be Unselective Feeders
    J. theor. Biol. (1995) 173, 41-50 Why Pelagic Planktivores should be Unselective Feeders JARL GISKEt AND ANNE GRO VEA SALVANES University of Bergen, Department of Fisheries and Marine Biology, Hoyteknologisenteret, N-5020 Bergen and tlnstitute of Marine Research, Boks 1870 Nordnes, N-5024 Bergen, Norway (Received on 29 January 1994, Accepted in revised form on 18 July 1994) Diet width theory is a branch of optimal foraging theory, used to predict which fractions of the potential food encountered should be pursued. For pelagic fish, it is generally assumed that light is the dominant stimulus for both prey encounter rate and mortality risk. In order to achieve encounter rates allowing selective feeding, the pelagic predator exposes itself to enhanced predation risk for a prolonged time. The gain in growth obtained by diet selection may seldom outweigh the fitness cost of increased mortality risk. More generally, pelagic feeders will have a higher reproductive rate by searching the depth where feeding will be encounter-limited, and hence be opportunistic feeders. Literature reports of pelagic diet selection either fail to distinguish between the catchability of the prey in a gear and the encounter rate with its predator or neglects the vertical structure in pelagic prey distribution that may give differences in diets for unselective predators operating at different depths. The principal differences between the pelagic habitat and habitats where diet selection will be expected will include one or both of the following: (i) the continuous and steep local (i.e. vertical) gradients in mortality risk and (ii) the lack of local shelter where a newly ingested meal may safely be digested.

Corallivore became one of the biotic components that relate with coral coverage. The objective of this study was to determine the trophic structure of reef fishes, as well as the relationship between corallivores and hard corals in the northern part of Kepulauan Seribu. Reef fish species and benthic coverage were assessed using underwater visual census (UVCs) and Line Intercept Transect (LIT). The results showed that there were 120 reef fish species belonging to 7 trophic groups and 19 families. Pomacentridae and Labridae are the most abundant fish families.
