RESUMEN LIBRE DEL CURRÍCULUM Doctor en Biología por la Universidad de Oviedo el año 1990, obteniendo el premio extraordinario. Realizó trabajos post-doctorales en el Plymouth Marine Laboratory y en el Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. En 1993 se incorporó al Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas del CSIC, para posteriormente conseguir una plaza de Profesor Titular Interino de Ecología en la Universidad de Vigo y posteriormente accede a la plaza de Profesor Titular de Ecología en esa misma Universidad. Desde 2011 es Catedrático de Ecología de la Universidad de Vigo. La carrera investigadora se centra en el ámbito de la oceanografía biológica, en particular en el estudio de la composición, distribución y producción del fitoplancton y de su relación con la variabilidad física de las capas superiores del océano a diversas escalas. En los últimos años, el trabajo se concentra en el estudio de las respuestas del plancton microbiano a los aportes de nutrientes. Los estudios se han desarrollado bien en el laboratorio, en mesocosmos o en campañas desarrolladas en distintas regiones del océano. Estos estudios se enmarcan en los 28 proyectos de investigación en los que ha participado, financiados por la UE y los planes nacional y gallego de Investigación y Desarrollo. Ha actuado como investigador principal en 17 de estos proyectos, actuando de coordinador de equipos amplios de diferentes instituciones en cuatro de ellos. Los resultados que han surgido de estas investigaciones se encuentran recogidos en 156 trabajos de los cuales 120 se encuentran publicados en revistas científicas indexadas en JCR. La actividad de formación de investigadores se concreta en la dirección de 7 Tesis de Licenciatura, 15 Trabajos de Fin de Grado, 24 Tesis de Máster y 12 Tesis Doctorales, obteniendo cuatro de ellas premio extraordinario. Cuatro de estos doctores se reincorporaron al grupo de investigación mediante contratos Marie Curie financiados por la UE o con contratos Juan de la Cierva y Ramón y Cajal. Dos de ellos son en la actualidad profesores titulares de universidad y otras dos profesoras Contratadas- Doctor, dos más son Investigadoras Distinguidas Postdoctorales en la Universidad de Vigo. 1 de 2 / Instrucciones para rellenar el currículum abreviado CURRÍCULUM ABREVIADO (CVA) Ha sido miembro del SOLAS Planning Group del IGBP/SCOR y posteriormente coordinador del grupo de trabajo SOLAS-España entre 2001 y 2005.

In an initiative to help further our understanding, invertebrate surveys over the past seven years have now revealed more than 500 species, many of which are endemic. This is an essential reference guide to these species. Illustrated with hundreds of representative photographs, it includes brief narratives on the biology and ecology of the major taxonomic groups and characteristic features of common species. It is primarily aimed at scientifi c observers, and is intended to be used as both a training tool prior to deployment at-sea, and for use in making accurate identifi cations of invertebrate by catch when operating in the HIMI region. Many of the featured organisms are also found throughout the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, the guide therefore having national appeal.

This species belongs to the family Psolidae of the order Dendrochirotida based on morphological characteristics and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequence analysis. Psolus phantapus, which widely distributes in the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans, is newly recorded in the Korean fauna. Two Psolus species including the previously reported P. squamatus are recorded in the East Sea of Korea. Keywords: Psolus phantapus, morphological characteristics, SEM, mitochondrial COI sequence, molecular identification INTRODUCTION subunit I (mt-COI) gene is a powerful tool for identification and discovery of species (Hebert et al., 2003; Ratnasingham Sea cucumbers of the family Psolidae have distinctive mor- and Hebert, 2007), and the region of mt-COI sequence is phological characteristics compared with other families of validated as an effective tool for species discrimination in the order Dendrochirotida.

Abstract In support of the 2021/2022 NAFO review of the closed areas to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) in the NAFO Regulatory Area, previously established kernel density estimation (KDE) methods were applied to four important ecological functions provided by benthic communities: A) Bioturbation; B) Nutrient cycling; C) Habitat provision; and D) Functional diversity (FRic), in order to evaluate significant adverse impacts of NAFO bottom-contact fishing on vulnerable marine ecosystems against the wider benthic contributions to those functions. Fish and invertebrate species recorded in the EU and Canadian surveys from 2011-2019 were classified a priori as contributing to each of bioturbation, nutrient cycling and habitat provision functions, using literature references. The resultant catch biomass data for each function were examined using K-S statistics and cumulative biomass distribution plots to determine whether data from the different surveys could be combined. With few exceptions the surveys were analyzed separately and the KDE polygons overlain a posteriori to produce combined polygon areas for each function. A suite of species were important contributors to the biomass of catches used to delineate each of the KDE polygons.

  • Echinoderms As Clues to Antarctic ~ South American Connectivity

But evidence exists for the occurrence of several shared marine species between the Southern Ocean and other basins. This manuscript reviews on the echinoderm taxa known from the Antarctic and South America, and evaluates some evidences for the connectivity between these continents. Metadata from several studies and data from the Brazilian continental margin were used for the analyses. A total of 602 echinoderm species have been recorded so far at both regions, 101 of those (~17%) are shared between Antarctica and South America, and from these around 47% are typically deep-sea ones. A high species richness was found at the Antarctica Peninsula, South Shetland Is. and South Georgia, possibly resultant from highest sampling effort at these regions. Distinct geological history and the tectonic activities play an important role in regulating the benthic faunal assemblage of these regions. An overlap was found between the echinoderm fauna from the South American cone, and mainly the regions around the Antarctic Peninsula.
