  • Mantas, Dolphins & Coral Reefs – a Maldives Cruise
    Mantas, Dolphins & Coral Reefs – A Maldives Cruise Naturetrek Tour Report 8 – 17 February 2019 Hawksbill Turtle Manta Ray Short-finned Pilot Whale Black-footed Anemone Fish Report & images compiled by Sara Frost Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Mantas, Dolphins & Coral Reefs – A Maldives Cruise Tour participants: Sara Frost and Chas Anderson (tour leaders) with 15 Naturetrek clients Summary Our time spent cruising around the beautiful Maldivian islands and atolls resulted in some superb marine wildlife encounters, and lovely warm evenings anchored off remote tropical islands, a dazzling variety of colourful fish, numerous turtles and dolphins and a daily visual feast of innumerable shades of turquoise! The highlight was the group’s encounter with a group of 6 Manta Rays while snorkelling. We enjoyed a morning’s excitement as the Mantas appeared and disappeared alongside us, their huge mouths wide open as they fed on the plankton, with all of the group getting fantastic close-up views! Every morning and evening, the group enjoyed a pre-breakfast and pre-dinner snorkel on coral reefs, where the colour and variety of fish was wonderful! Regal Angelfish, parrotfish, sea cucumbers, many different types of butterflyfish and wrasses, Maldive Anemonefish, reef squid, triggerfish, Moorish Idols, both White- and Black- tipped Reef Sharks and Hawksbill Turtles were just a few of the highlights! Back on board, while cruising between atolls, islands and reefs, seven confirmed species of cetacean were seen: several groups of Spinner Dolphins (including one huge group of at least 500), Pan-tropical Spotted Dolphins, both Common and Indo- Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins, plus Fraser’s Dolphins, plus Risso’s Dolphins and two groups of Pilot Whales – the first being very inquisitive and spending an hour with us spy hopping alongside the boat! All in all, it was a wonderful trip that will never be forgotten.

  • Marine Invertebrates As Indicators of Reef Health
    MARINE INVERTEBRATES AS INDICATORS OF REEF HEALTH A STUDY OF THE REEFS IN THE REGION OF ANDAVADOAKA, SOUTH WEST MADAGASCAR Anna Hopkins MSc Conservation Science September 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science and the Diploma of Imperial College London i ABSTRACT Coral reefs are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic threats, especially over- harvesting. Certain invertebrate species are considered indicators of ecological change and any possible disturbance to the reef can be gauged by monitoring their abundance. The densities of eight invertebrate species were measured over a four year period within three types of reef; fringing, barrier and patch, surrounding the area of Andavadoaka, Southwest Madagascar. General linear mixed effect models indicated complex patterns of abundance in relation to annual, seasonal and spatial variation in all species, with season being the weaker explanatory variable. There was no evidence of ecological disturbance in any of the reef types and echinoid densities were comparable to those found in protected areas. Acanthaster planci was found in very low densities and therefore not an ecological threat. Echinostrephus was found to be the dominant echinoid throughout the area. Harvested species T. gigas and C. tritonis were uniformly rare at all sites but compared to reefs in Southeast Asia are in healthy numbers. Holothurians have decreased in number although recent increases have been noted on patch reefs. Patch reefs were found to harbour the healthiest abundance of echinoids and harvested species. Fringing reefs had lower densities of all species possibly as a result of more intense harvesting effort.

  • Folk Taxonomy of Marine Fauna on Takuu Atoll, Papua New Guinea
    2 SPC Traditional Marine Resource Management and Knowledge Information Bulletin #39 – April 2018 Catching names: Folk taxonomy of marine fauna on Takuu Atoll, Papua New Guinea Anke Moesinger1 Abstract Folk taxonomies are a critical component for understanding resource use patterns and cultural, social and economic preferences on geographically remote Pacific atolls. To understand how people perceive and make use of their environment, 200 local names for marine vertebrates and invertebrates were collected and the hierarchical classification system was documented on Takuu Atoll in Papua New Guinea. The local nomenclature of the marine fauna of Takuu is based largely on shared fundamental morphological charac- teristics. Furthermore, all fish (Te ika) in the ocean are placed into one of five distinct groups in the hierar- chical classification system. These include three functional groups that are categorised by ecological niche, whereas another group encompasses all fish that possess a certain behavioural trait. The fifth group is unique in that it is solely made up of fish that were previously targeted during local Sii fishing expeditions. This article presents an analysis of Takuu residents’ descriptions and classifications of local fish and marine invertebrates. Keywords Folk taxonomy, Takuu Atoll, local knowledge, Polynesian outlier, folk hierarchical classification Introduction atoll is one of only three Polynesian outliers found in PNG.

  • Hydrodynamics of Balistiform Swimming in the Picasso
    HYDRODYNAMICS OF BALISTIFORM SWIMMING IN THE PICASSO TRIGGERFISH, RHINECANTHUS ACULEATUS by HALE LOOFBOURROW BSc. University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Zoology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (VANCOUVER) January 2009 © Hale Loofbourrow, 2009 ii Abstract Aquatic propulsion by means of undulatory movements of the median (dorsal and anal) fins is the primary mode of transport for the Picasso triggerfish (Rhinecanthus aculeatus). Known as balistiform locomotion, this form of propulsion is an adaptation for highly efficient movement within complex environments such as coral reefs. A principle component of balistiform locomotion has been the development of momentum enhancement, a fin-force multiplier that increases swimming efficiency. This study examines the kinematics and energetics of balistiform locomotion employing theoretical models of thrust, power, and efficiency. Thrust and power were calculated and compared with theoretical values modeled by Lighthill and Blake (1990). This model has heretofore not been thoroughly vetted and was tested for accuracy and applicability. Thrust force was estimated from resistance (drag) using a vertical dead drop to determine terminal velocity; power was calculated from oxygen consumption measurements at different speeds. The Lighthill and Blake (1990) model requires median fin kinematics (frequency, wavelength, amplitude, wave angle), which were measured from high-speed videography and followed statistically predicted trends with frequency being the dominant variable, and the others changing little or not at all with speed. Momentum enhancement was found to be 3.6, close to Lighthill and Blake’s (1990) theoretically predicted value of 2.5.
