The condition is characterised by the occurrence of green to black patchy pigment spots in the skin of the upper body side and pearly-white pigment spots in the skin of the lower body side, caused by a hyperplasia of pigment cells (melanophores and iridiphores, respectively). In heavily affected fish, the condition is sometimes associated with inflammatory reactions in the integument. The most interesting aspect is the significant increase in prevalence that has been recorded in almost all North Sea areas in the past approximately 20 years. Prevalences recorded in hot spot areas for this condition increased from approximately 5 % to more than 50 %. There is a pronounced spatial pattern of hyperpigmentation in the North Sea, with higher prevalences in areas closer to the coast compared to areas in the more central part of North Sea. In the dab stock from the western Baltic Sea, hyperpigmentation is virtually absent. There is indication that hyperpigmentation is related to size and age and that it affects growth and condition of affected fish. Some of the potential causes of hyperpigmentation have been studied (involvement of pathogens) and these are highlighted in the present paper others still need to be studied. Keywords: pigment anomaly, hyperpigmentation, North Sea dab, spatial and temporal patterns ICES ASC 2008 1 Introduction The present study focuses on the occurrence of hyperpigmentation, a specific pigment anomaly of the skin known since the 1980s to occur in North Sea dab (Limanda limanda). In flatfish species, pigment anomalies are well documented and have been described in the literature to affect wild populations (De Veen 1969, Gartner 1986, Macieira et al. 2006) as well as fish in aquaculture (Ottesen & Strand 1996, Venizelos & Benetti 1999, Bolker & Hill 2000). However, there is indication that both the prevalence and the types of pigment anomalies described in the literature are different from the hyperpigmentation recorded in North Sea dab. Hyperpigmentation is one of the externally visible diseases of dab recommended as target disease for fish diseases surveys in the North Sea and adjacent areas and is included in the methodological guidelines for general biological effects monitoring under the OSPAR Joint Assessment and Monitoring Programme (JAMP) (OSPAR 1997). Consequently, it has been incorporated in the range of diseases recorded in the German fish disease monitoring programme and long-term data are available for the North Sea and the western Baltic Sea. Additional, but more scattered data (in terms of regional and temporal coverage), are available from reference areas, e.g. the English Channel, Irish Sea, Celtic Sea and Icelandic waters. The common dab is characterised by a wide distribution in the North Sea and adjacent areas in connection with a high abundance (Bohl 1957, Daan et al. 1990, Rijnsdorp et al. 1992, Knijn et al. 1993, Zühlke 2001). It is a relatively stationary species (Bohl 1957, Lozan 1989, Damm et al. 1991) and it is considered to react sensitively to environmental stressors (Dethlefsen et al. 1987, Lang et al. 2003). Because of these reasons, dab is widely used as bioindicator in national and international programmes monitoring and assessing effects of anthropogenic stressors on fish health largely in the North Sea and methodological guidelines for various parameters are available (McVicar et al. 1988, OSPAR 1997, 2003, Bucke et al. 1996, Feist et al. 2004). The study the results of which are presented aimed at providing information on: • macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of hyperpigmentation in dab • spatial and temporal patterns in the prevalence of hyperpigmentation • the impact of host-specific factors (e.g. size, age, sex) on the prevalence of hyperpigmentation • effects of hyperpigmentation on the host • possible causes of hyperpigmentation ICES ASC 2008 2 Materials and methods Sampling and disease examination The German long-term fish disease monitoring has been carried out on board RV Walther Herwig II and III since the early 1980s during winter cruises (December) and summer cruises (August/September) (Tab. 1). At present, diseases are recorded in 12 main sampling areas in the North Sea and at least 3 main sampling areas in the Baltic Sea (for location, see Tab. 2 and Fig. 3). More limited studies were also carried out in adjacent waters such as the English Channel, Irish Sea, Celtic Sea and at reference areas at the south coast of Iceland. Fishing is carried out by means of bottom trawling with standard gears (GOV or 140 ft bottom trawl), with a towing time of 1 hour and a speed of 3 - 4 knots. Per sampling area, usually 3 - 5 hauls are taken. Tissue samples for histology and samples for virology and bacteriology were taken during the Research Cruise 194 (30.05. - 03.06.2007) of RV Scotia (UK) from the Scottish areas of the North Sea (Marr Bank, Moray Firth, Bell Rock, Wee Bankie, St. Abbs and Fair Isle). Table 1: Research cruises of RV Walther Herwig II and III in 12 North Sea areas (N) and 3 Baltic Sea areas (B), S = Summer cruise, W = Winter cruise, blank = no cruise; each sampling campaign takes 17 - 22 days.

For the Scotia samples fish are not kept alive but sorted and checked immediately. The catch com- position is recorded and catch data are used to calculate the catch per unit effort (CPUE) for dab (number/weight of specimens per one hour of trawling). The total length (to the cm below) and wet weight are measured in specimens taken for disease wetweight[g]·100 examination, facilitating the calculation of condition factors (CF = length[cm]3 ).

    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions WATER QUALITY 13.2.1. The principal water quality data sources that have been used to inform this study are: • Environment Agency (EA) WFD classification status and reporting (e.g. EA 2015); and • EA long-term water quality monitoring data for the tidal Thames. Environment Agency WFD Classification Status 13.2.2. The tidal River Thames is divided into three transitional water bodies as part of the Thames River Basin Management Plan (EA 2015) (Thames Upper [ID GB530603911403], Thames Middle [ID GB53060391140] and Thames Lower [ID GB530603911401]. Each of these waterbodies are classified as heavily modified waterbodies (HMWBs). The most recent EA assessment carried out in 2016, confirms that all three of these water bodies are classified as being at Moderate ecological potential (EA 2018). 13.2.3. The Thames Estuary at the London Resort Project Site is located within the Thames Middle Transitional water body, which is a heavily modified water body on account of the following designated uses (Cycle 2 2015-2021): • Coastal protection; • Flood protection; and • Navigation. 13.2.4. The downstream extent of the Thames Middle transitional water body is located approximately 12 km downstream of the Kent Project Site and 8 km downstream of the Essex Project Site near Lower Hope Point. Downstream of this location is the Thames Lower water body which extends to the outer Thames Estuary. 13.2.5. A summary of the current Thames Middle water body WFD status is presented in Table A13.2.1, together with those supporting elements that do not currently meet at least Good status and their associated objectives.

Other North Sea flat- fish species are also affected, but at a markedly lower prevalence. The condition is characterised by the occurrence of varying degrees of green to black patchy pigment spots in the skin of the upper (ocular) body side and pearly-white pigment spots in the skin of the lower (abocular) body side. In the course of fish disease monitoring programmes carried out by Germany and the UK (England and Scotland), a pronounced spatial pattern of hyperpigmentation has been detected in the North Sea. An increase in prevalence has been recorded in almost all North Sea areas studied in the past 2 decades. The prevalence recorded in hot spot areas of the condition increased from 5 to >40% between 1988 and 2009.

  • 6 North Sea 6.1 Ecosystem Overview 6.1.1 Ecosystem Components
    6 North Sea 6.1 Ecosystem overview 6.1.1 Ecosystem components Seabed topography and substrates The topography of the North Sea can be broadly described as having a shallow (<50 m) southeastern part, which is sharply separated by the Dogger Bank from a much deeper (50–100 m) central part that runs north along the British coast. The central northern part of the shelf gradually slopes down to 200 m before reaching the shelf edge. Another main feature is the Norwegian Trench running east along the Norwegian coast into the Skagerrak with depths up to 500 m. Further to the east, the Norwegian Trench ends abruptly, and the Kattegat is of depths similar to the main part of the North Sea (Figure 6.1.1). The substrates are dominated by sands in the southern and coastal regions and fine muds in deeper and more central parts (Figure 6.1.2). Sands become generally coarser to the east and west, with patches of gravel and stones existing as well. In the shallow southern part, concentrations of boulders may be found locally, originating from transport by glaciers during the ice ages. This specific hard-bottom habitat has become scarcer, because boulders caught in beam trawls are often brought ashore. The area around, and to the west of the Orkney/Shetland archipelago is dominated by coarse sand and gravel. The deep areas of the Norwegian Trench are covered with extensive layers of fine muds, while some of the slopes have rocky bottoms. Several underwater canyons extend further towards the coasts of Norway and Sweden.

The condition in catches in other parts of the southern North Sea showed a lower prevalence. A light and electron microscope examination showed the lesions to be due to an intra-epidermal accumulation of x- cells. The structure of these cells was atypical of normal dab cells so an infectious aetiology may be indicated. There was evidence of cell motility in peripheral parts of lesions. Variability in structure of x- cells was considered to be mainly associated with degenerative changes, particularly with cells in the centre of lesions. Envelope cells whlch characteristically encapsulated individual X-cells had features suggesting an epithelia1 origin. A cellular reaction involving macrophages containing X-cell remnants in phagocytic vacuoles was typical of areas of extensive X-cell degeneration.
