Collections were analyzed for the presence of hydrozoan polyps, hydroid affinity for particular Sargassum, their microhabitat distribution on the Sargassum, and their relative abundance. A total of 29 hy­ droid species was found, including 3 species not previously recorded from Sargassum. Three additional species are ap­ parently new. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, recent taxonomic nomenclature, and a key to the species found during this investigation are provided. i x HYDROIDS OF THE PELAGIC SARGASSUM COMMUNITY OF THE GULF STREAM AND SARGASSO SEA INTRODUCTION North American Atlantic hydroids have received almost continuous study since Stimpson's (1854) synopsis of the invertebrates of Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick (Fraser, 1944). This has been the result of a relatively small num­ ber of scientist, yet despite their extensive contributions, the hydroid fauna of many areas or particular habitats remains poorly known. Such a habitat is the pelagic Sargassum com­ munity of the Gulf Stream and Sargasso Sea of the North At­ lantic. Burkenroad (in Parr, 19 39) presented the only detailed study involving the hydroids associated with Sargassum. In it he identified sixteen hydroids from pelagic Sargassum in the Gulf Stream, Sargasso Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. Hydroid dominance and specificity were also determined for the differ­ ent Sargassum species or types distinguished by Parr (1939). Burkenroad observed that Clytia noliformis (McCrady) is the usual dominant associated with the narrow leafed Sargassum nataris (L.) Meyen types I, II, and IX; another dominant hydroid, Aglaophenia latecarinata Allman, is usually associated with the broader leafed Sargassum fluitans type III and natans type VIII. Burkenroad also noted that the hydroid fauna Sargassum v. Winge (tentitively identified as the benthic 2 alga Sargassum ramifolium) was dominated by either Clava sp. Gmelin (RhizOgeton fusiformis ? Agassiz) or Syncoryne sp. Ehrenberg. Other dominants occasionally appeared such as Sertularia mayeri Nutting on S. natans IX, or Sertularia flowersi Nutting on S^. natans IX and -S_. natans II. The other broad leafed form, Sargassum fluitans VIII was reported on occasion to be overgrown with S. flowersi, 53. mayeri, S_. inflata Versluys, S. turbinata Lamouroux, Dynamena quad- ridentata Ellis and Solander or Plumularia margaretta (Nutting). Morris and Megelberg (1973) compiled a checklist, with descriptions and illustrations, of 43 hydroids which have been reported from Sargassum. Fraser*s (1912, 1944) publica­ tions were the principal sources used for their checklist, and unfortunately most of the taxonomic changes put forth since those publications are not included. Also not included were the improved illustrations of many tropical hydroids since Fraser's monographs, such as those by Vervoort (1968) and Van Gemerden-Hoogeveen (1965) from the Caribbean, which have greatly facilitated hydroid identification. Furthermore, only brief remarks are given by Morris and Mogelberg concern­ ing hydroid occurrence on specific Sargassum species. Bennitt (1922) surveyed the hydroids of Bermuda, report­ ing 18 species from Sargassum, but like Fraser, did not dis­ cuss the Sargassum types from which the hydroids were found. Also at this time, Hentschel (1922) studied the epifauna of Sargassum, which included several hydroids. He estimated specificity based on the number of polyps found on Sargassum 4 thali 10 cm long and noted that there was always a dominant species (usually Aglaophenia on S. fluitans Bbrgesen and Clytia on £3. natans) . Hentschel also mentioned succession among the attached forms in which the growing apexes of the Sargassum are colon­ ized first by hydroids followed by the bryozoan Membranipora Ctuberculata (Bush);?] which establish on the older portions of the alga. Ryland (19 74) made similar observations on S. natans and attributed such behavior to the presence of tannins in the apical portions of the stems (Conover and Sieburth, 19 64; Sieburth and Conover, 1965) which inhibit the establishment of surface microfauna necessary for the settlement of larger epibionts.

Arquipélago. Life and Marine Sciences 24:11-16. Hydroids were collected from Madeira and Porto Santo Islands (eastern temperate Atlantic Ocean) by SCUBA diving over a depth range from 0 to 62 m, as well as by two trawls off the city of Funchal, at depths of 60 and 100 m. A preliminary list of 53 identified species from 33 genera and 17 families is given and comments are made on some of them. Eight of them could not be determined to species level because they either lacked gonophores or the medusa stage is necessary for identification. An undescribed species (genus Sertularella) will be described in a separate publication. Additional species have been sent to hydroid specialists, and their identifications are pending.

Cnidarians have been identified as one of the most problematical groups, contributing significantly to the occlusion and structural stress of the cage nets, but also dramatically affecting farmed species health in aquaculture facilities worldwide. Recently, significant relationships were established in different Spanish aquaculture facilities between hydrozoans and juvenile fish affected by gill injuries and mortality episodes. Community composition, growth rate and reproductive potential of biofouling were monitored on fish cages over two seasonal periods of fry cages farming, located in southern Spain (SW Alboran Sea), with a special focus on cnidarians. Biomass and community composition of biofouling changed with time and between studied periods, with a marked seasonality in colonization periods and taxonomic composition, particularly for the colonial hydrozoans.

Dawson, OscaR OcaÑA V., WILLEM VERvooRT, GARY WILLIAMS, JEANETTE E. Watson, DENNIS M. OPREsko, PETER SCHUCHERT, P. MICHAEL HINE, DENNIS P. GORDON, HAMISH J. CAMPBELL, ANTHONY J. WRIGHT, JUAN A. SÁNCHEZ, DAPHNE G. FAUTIN his ancient phylum of mostly marine organisms is best known for its contribution to geomorphological features, forming thousands of square Tkilometres of coral reefs in warm tropical waters. Their fossil remains contribute to some limestones. Cnidarians are also significant components of the plankton, where large medusae – popularly called jellyfish – and colonial forms like Portuguese man-of-war and stringy siphonophores prey on other organisms including small fish. Some of these species are justly feared by humans for their stings, which in some cases can be fatal. Certainly, most New Zealanders will have encountered cnidarians when rambling along beaches and fossicking in rock pools where sea anemones and diminutive bushy hydroids abound. In New Zealand’s fiords and in deeper water on seamounts, black corals and branching gorgonians can form veritable trees five metres high or more. In contrast, inland inhabitants of continental landmasses who have never, or rarely, seen an ocean or visited a seashore can hardly be impressed with the Cnidaria as a phylum – freshwater cnidarians are relatively few, restricted to tiny hydras, the branching hydroid Cordylophora, and rare medusae. Worldwide, there are about 10,000 described species, with perhaps half as many again undescribed. All cnidarians have nettle cells known as nematocysts (or cnidae – from the Greek, knide, a nettle), extraordinarily complex structures that are effectively invaginated coiled tubes within a cell.

The samples were taken from the up infralittoral area with the apnea divings. Result of the study, hydroid polyp fauna of the study area is represented by 7 species belonging to 6 families (Eudendrium capillare, Pennaria disticha, Aglaophenia picardi, Halopteris diaphana, Salacia desmoides, Dynamena disticha, Clytia hemisphearica). From these species, E. Capillare, A. picardi, H.diaphana, ve S. desmoides, are new records for the hydroid polyp fauna of Turkeys Levanten basin and C. hemisphaerica ve P. Disticha ve D. Disticha are common species of our study area.

Previous phylogenetic analyses show strong support for Hydroidolina monophyly, but the relationships between and within its subgroups remain uncertain. In an effort to further clarify hydroidolinan relationships, we performed phylogenetic analyses on 97 hydroidolinan taxa, using DNA sequences from partial mitochondrial 16S rDNA, nearly complete nuclear 18S rDNA and nearly complete nuclear 28S rDNA. Our findings are consistent with previous analyses that support monophyly of Siphonophorae and Leptothecata and do not support monophyly of Anthoathecata nor its component subgroups, Filifera and Capitata. Instead, within Anthoathecata, we find support for four separate filiferan clades and two separate capitate clades (Aplanulata and Capitata sensu stricto). Our data however, lack any substantive support for discerning relationships between these eight distinct hydroidolinan clades.
