    PROPOSAL FOR IBDIOCC- SCOR WG Submitted to: Dr. Edward Urban, Executive Secretary, Scientific Committee for Oceanic Research (SCOR) Submitted by: Dr. Robert Y. George, President, George Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability (GIBS), 1320 Vanagrif Ct., Wake Forest, North Carolina. Date of Submission: April 15, 2016. IBDIOCC Interaction Between Drivers Impacting Ocean Carbonate Chemistry: How can Deep-Sea Coral Ecosystems respond to ASH/CSH Shoaling in Seamounts that pose imminent threats from Ocean Acidification? Summary/Abstract: We propose a new SCOR Working Group IBDIOCC (2017 to 2019) that seeks to assess new impacts on seamount ecosystems from ocean acidification (OA), that essentially looks at the impact of shoaling of ASH and CSH on the biota that include communities/species associated with deep sea scleractinian corals e.g. Lophelia pertusa and Solenosmilia variabilis) The WG, with members from both southern and northern hemispheres, seeks to re-evaluate and augment the science priorities defined in 2012 by the Census of the Marine Life, but taking into account the new climate change threats and challenges from shifts in ocean carbonate chemistry. The WG will incorporate recommendations from ‘Ocean In High Carbon World-Ocean Acidification international symposium which will be participated by Dr. George (chairman of WG) who will also present a paper on vulnerable deep sea ecosystems to ocean carbonate chemistry, especially seamounts southeast of Australia and New Zealand. The WG plans to develop a follow-on capacity building workshop in the ASLO annual meeting in Hawaii (2017) and in the AGU Ocean Sciences meeting in Portland, Oregon (2018). In 2017, the WG will meet for three days in 2017 at the ASLO annual meeting to generate two open-access publications; 1) the first global assessment of OA on seamount fauna, and 2) a peer-reviewed multi-authored paper to be submitted to NATURE CLIMATE.

  • DNA Barcoding of a Stowaway Reef Coral in the International Aquarium Trade Results in a New Distribution Record
    Marine Biodiversity (2020) 50: 41 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12526-020-01075-7 SHORT COMMUNICATION DNA barcoding of a stowaway reef coral in the international aquarium trade results in a new distribution record Bert W. Hoeksema1,2,3 & Roberto Arrigoni4,5 Received: 23 January 2020 /Revised: 2 April 2020 /Accepted: 15 April 2020 /Published online: 27 May 2020 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Dead corals and limestone boulders that act as substrate for live specimens of marine invertebrates and algae are sold as ‘live rock’ in the international aquarium trade. During a customs inspection of an airfreight shipment of ‘live rock’ at Schiphol Airport (Netherlands), 450 boulders imported from Indonesia were checked for the presence of undeclared organisms. During unpacking, about 50% of the boulders appeared to have small stony corals attached to them. Some of these corals belonged to a species unknown from Indonesia. Mitochondrial COI and nuclear ITS markers revealed 100% and 99.3% match with Polycyathus chaishanensis Lin et al., 2012, a species reported from tidal pools in Taiwan. This new distribution record suggests that despite their easy access, intertidal and shallow subtidal reef coral assemblages (< 1 m depth) may still be underexplored. Keywords CITES . Customs . Barcoding . COI . ITS . Geographical distribution . Indonesia . Polycyathus . Reef flat . Intertidal Introduction decoration and substrate (Padilla and Williams 2004). They are also known to clean sea water in aquaria (Yuen et al. 2009; Tropical sea aquariums are important attractions in zoos Li et al. 2017). These boulders are most easily collected from around the world but are also kept at homes by numerous shallow water and reef flats, which can be done by local vil- hobby aquarists.

    Deep-Sea Coral Taxa in the U.S. Northeast Region: Depth and Geographical Distribution (v. 2020) by David B. Packer1, Martha S. Nizinski2, Stephen D. Cairns3, 4 and Thomas F. Hourigan 1. NOAA Habitat Ecology Branch, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Sandy Hook, NJ 2. NOAA National Systematics Laboratory Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 3. National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 4. NOAA Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program, Office of Habitat Conservation, Silver Spring, MD This annex to the U.S. Northeast chapter in “The State of Deep-Sea Coral and Sponge Ecosystems of the United States” provides a revised and updated list of deep-sea coral taxa in the Phylum Cnidaria, Class Anthozoa, known to occur in U.S. waters from Maine to Cape Hatteras (Figure 1). Deep-sea corals are defined as azooxanthellate, heterotrophic coral species occurring in waters 50 meters deep or more. Details are provided on the vertical and geographic extent of each species (Table 1). This list is adapted from Packer et al. (2017) with the addition of new species and range extensions into Northeast U.S. waters reported through 2020, along with a number of species previously not included. No new species have been described from this region since 2017. Taxonomic names are generally those currently accepted in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), and are arranged by order, then alphabetically by family, genus, and species. Data sources (references) listed are those principally used to establish geographic and depth distributions. The total number of distinct deep-sea corals documented for the U.S.

  • A Mediterranean Mesophotic Coral Reef Built by Non-Symbiotic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A Mediterranean mesophotic coral reef built by non-symbiotic scleractinians Received: 30 July 2018 Giuseppe Corriero1,2, Cataldo Pierri1,3, Maria Mercurio1,2, Carlotta Nonnis Marzano1,2, Accepted: 8 February 2019 Senem Onen Tarantini1, Maria Flavia Gravina4,2, Stefania Lisco5,2, Massimo Moretti5,2, Published: xx xx xxxx Francesco De Giosa6, Eliana Valenzano5, Adriana Giangrande2,7, Maria Mastrodonato1, Caterina Longo 1,2 & Frine Cardone 1,2 This is the frst description of a Mediterranean mesophotic coral reef. The bioconstruction extended for 2.5 km along the Italian Adriatic coast in the bathymetric range −30/−55 m. It appeared as a framework of coral blocks mostly built by two scleractinians, Phyllangia americana mouchezii (Lacaze- Duthiers, 1897) and Polycyathus muellerae (Abel, 1959), which were able to edify a secondary substrate with high structural complexity. Scleractinian corallites were cemented by calcifed polychaete tubes and organized into an interlocking meshwork that provided the reef stifness. Aggregates of several individuals of the bivalve Neopycnodonte cochlear (Poli, 1795) contributed to the compactness of the structure. The species composition of the benthic community showed a marked similarity with those described for Mediterranean coralligenous communities and it appeared to be dominated by invertebrates, while calcareous algae, which are usually considered the main coralligenous reef- builders, were poorly represented. Overall, the studied reef can be considered a unique environment, to be included in the wide and diversifed category of Mediterranean bioconstructions. The main reef- building scleractinians lacked algal symbionts, suggesting that heterotrophy had a major role in the metabolic processes that supported the production of calcium carbonate.

    Chapter 4. Deep-sea Coral Genetics Morrison et al. 4 - 1 MOLECULAR ASSESSMENT OF DEEP-SEA SCLERACTINIAN CORAL BIODIVERSITY AND POPULATION STRUCTURE OF LOPHELIA PERTUSA IN THE GULF OF MEXICO Cheryl L. Morrison, Robin L. Johnson, Tim L. King, Steve W. Ross, and Martha S. Nizinski Key Words: Deep-sea coral, scleractinian biodiversity, mitochondrial 16S, phylogeny, ‘robust’ corals, ‘complex’ corals, Lophelia, microsatellites, population structure, dispersal, gene flow ABSTRACT Geographic patterns of genetic diversity in Lophelia pertusa were examined by quantifying genetic diversity present in populations, and assessing levels of genetic differentiation within the Gulf of Mexico (GOM, 5 sampling locations, <1-290 km apart). Patterns of differentiation observed within GOM Lophelia were compared to Lophelia populations from the Atlantic Ocean continental slope off the Southeastern U.S. (SEUS, 6 sampling locations, 18-990 km apart) and with northeast Atlantic Ocean (NEAO) populations off the coast of Europe (5,400-7,900 km away from sampled U.S. populations). Multilocus genotypes for 190 Lophelia individuals were determined using a suite of nine microsatellite markers developed for GOM Lophelia. Eighteen individuals (9%) with identical multi-locus genotypes were identified as clones. Populations of Lophelia harbored substantial genetic diversity. The majority of populations had unique alleles indicative of little gene flow. Pairwise chord distances were high among all populations and regional groupings of populations resulted from a neighbor-joining clustering analysis. North versus south areas of Viosca Knoll (VK) 826, the most intensively sampled area, had fixation index estimates significantly greater than zero, suggesting little larval mixing. Comparisons of all GOM Lophelia populations with the shallowest site, VK862, produced significant fixation indices.

(Scleractinia: Caryophylliidae), from Chaishan, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Zoological Studies 51(2): 213-221. A small population of a new species of zooxanthellate scleractinian coral, Polycyathus chaishanensis sp. nov., is described from shallow water (< 3 m) off Chiashan, Kaohsiung, an uplifted Pleistocene reef located on the southwest coast of Taiwan. Polycyathus chaishanensis sp. nov. is a zooxanthellate coral associated with Symbiodinium C1 and forms small encrusting colonies. Polycyathus chaishanensis sp. nov. differs from other Polycyathus by having (1) the smallest corallites (2.0-3.7 mm in calicular diameter) reported in the genus Polycyathus; (2) septa hexamerally arranged in 4 incomplete cycles displaying dentate or laciniate axial edges; (3) crispate and well-developed pali before the secondary septa; and (4) light brown pigmented pali/columellar elements. When expanded, vivid-red to brown polyps rise considerably above the calice, and long and slender tentacles are covered with white nematocyst batteries.
