Joffre Angulo Pulgar ix RESUMEN En las recientes décadas ha crecido el número de invasiones biológicas en ecosistemas marino costeros en todo el mundo, invadiendo sustratos naturales y de origen antropogénico. Sin embargo, en la costa ecuatoriana ha sido poco estudiado el efecto ecológico de las invasiones marinas sobre la fauna nativa y se desconoce los mecanismos de inhibición del crecimiento de las especies invasoras. El presente estudio fue diseñado para caracterizar la composición química de la especie invasora Carijoa riisei y evaluar el impacto ambiental sobre las comunidades coralinas en la Reserva Marina El Pelado en la provincia de Santa Elena. Así como sugerir un plan de difusión de sus efectos negativos sobre comunidades coralinas, medidas de control y mitigación para su posterior implementación por parte de las instituciones ambientales competentes y ciudadanía en general para evitar su expansión a otras áreas marino-costeras del Ecuador e Islas Galápagos y su impacto a nivel ecológico, económico y social en la comuna de Ayangue. Se determinó que las especies analizadas en el bajo El Cuarenta poseen un 5,47% de proteínas; 1,52% carbohidratos; 0,48% de grasas o lípidos, 66,65% de humedad y 25,88% de cenizas, en el bajo El Acuario se obtuvo 5,28% de proteínas; 0,62% de Carbohidratos; 026% de grasas o lípidos; 69,76% de Humedad y 24,08% de Cenizas. Se determinó crecimiento de colonias de Carijoa riisei sobre esponjas, balanus y otros invertebrados sésiles pero no se reportó crecimiento sobre corales negros y pocilloporos. Se elaboró un plan de difusión sobre el manejo y control de especies invasoras para su aplicación en la Reserva Marina El Pelado. Palabras clave: Carijoa riisei, especie invasora, comunidades coralinas, Ecuador x ABSTRACT In recent decades the number of biological invasions in coastal marine ecosystems worldwide has grown, invading natural and anthropogenic substrates. However, on the Ecuadorian coast the ecological effect of marine invasions on native fauna has been little studied and the mechanisms for inhibiting the growth of invasive species are unknown. The present study was designed to characterize the chemical composition of the invasive species Carijoa riisei and assess the environmental impact on coral communities in the El Pelado Marine Reserve in the province of Santa Elena.

While biogeographical limits of tropical fauna have been studied with increasing latitude, little is known about their lower depth distributions. For non-photosynthetic, warm-water fauna, decreasing temperature with increasing depth eventually limits their depth distribution. However, the nature of this lower thermal threshold, which has habitat management implications, has not been studied to date. In the Au’au Channel, Hawai’i, the temperature regime along a depth gradient near previously identified lower depths limits for warm- water azooxanthellate corals was characterized to determine whether the lower depths limits were consistent with acute stress causing colony mortality or chronic stress inhibiting growth, reproduction, and/or larval settlement. Data suggests that lower depth limits are associated with a minimum required exposure (e.g., 5-7 months) to water >22°C. This lower depth limit appears to be decoupled from the lower temperature limits of colony survival. Key words: temperature stress; coral biogeography; mesophotic coral ecosystems. Introduction gradual decrease to abyssal depths. For ectothermic Mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (MCE) are warm- tropical organisms, exposure to low temperatures has water coral reef ecosystems found below the depth been shown to limit their geographic distribution at limits of traditional SCUBA diving (~40 m) and high latitudes (Pörtner 2010).

Many species have very short life- cycles, so they can respond rapidly to changes in environmental conditions. the new south wales coast is a recognised climate change hot-spot and southward shifts in distribution have already been documented for several species. however, thorough documentation of present distributions is an essential prerequisite for identifying further range extensions. while distribution data are available in the public realm, much is also held privately as photographic collections, diaries and logs. this paper consolidates the current occurrence data from both private and public sources as part of a broader study of sea slug distribution in south-eastern Australia and provides an inventory by region. A total of 382 species, 155 genera and 54 families is reported from the mainland coast of new south wales.

    Phyllodesmium Poindimiei) and Implications for Potential Biocontrol of an Invasive Octocoral (Carijoa Riisei) in Hawaii

    HISC Final Report May 2007 Ecology of a specialized nudibranch predator (Phyllodesmium poindimiei) and implications for potential biocontrol of an invasive octocoral (Carijoa riisei) in Hawaii Rob Toonen, Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology Daniel Wagner, Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology Sam Kahng, University of Hawaii at Manoa HISC final report Introduction The objective of this project was to investigate the potential application of P. poindimiei as an agent of biological control for C. riisei. Work commenced in October of 2005, when the first cultures of C. riisei and P. poindimiei where established at the Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology. A total of 73 SCUBA collections and surveys were performed throughout the project. The interactions between P. poindimiei and C. riisei where studied through observations of these two species in laboratory cultures at the Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology, as well as time-series observations of three field sites with both P. poindimiei and C. riisei populations and contrasting environments. As part of this project, another nudibranch predator, never before reported from Hawaii and never before reported preying on C. riisei anywhere else in the world, was discovered. Specimens of this species were sent to Dr. Gosliner at the California Academy of Sciences and where identified as Tritoniopsis elegans by a taxonomic authority. 1) Effects of P. poindimiei on C. riisei The effects of P. poindimiei on C. riisei have been assessed in terms of measuring feeding rates of P. poindimiei in the laboratory, and observing natural rates of predation in the field at three sites with different densities.

Zoological Studies 48(4): 448-459. In total, 74 nominal species and 7 possible new species of sea slugs were recorded at a site off the coast of Wai-an in Penghu (the Pescadores) in the Taiwan Strait from 20 survey dives (including 17 monthly surveys). The Chromodorididae and Phyllidiidae were the 2 most-speciose families. The mean number of species sighted per monthly survey was 12. The increase in new species recorded reached a plateau at the 18th survey. The number of families recorded per survey ranged 2-9. High nudibranch species diversity is a site-specific attribute of Wai-an. Except for 1 survey, no species at this site were considered dominant in terms of the abundance of individuals. Similarities in species composition for pair-wise monthly samples were low. No obvious trends in temporal changes in the number of species or species composition were noted. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/48.4/448.pdf Key words: Nudibranch, Biodiversity, Penghu.

New data on intertidal biota of Russky (Sea of Japan), Kunashir (Kurile Isl.) and Jeju Islands (Korea) were obtained, and recent changes in the species composition and abundance are described. In total, 2211 species of marine biota are known for China. Data on the ship fouling in the Russian sector of the Sea of Japan collected since 1975 are reviewed and sum- marized, and altogether 16 species-invaders of bottom invertebrates (cirripede bar- nacles, amphipods, hydroids, polychaetes and bryozoans) have been registered.
