This dissertation is presented in an article format. I have already submitted two articles for review; Regional Studies in Marine Science, and African Zoology. Outline of dissertation: This dissertation is presented in four chapters; a short description of each follows: Chapter 1: A general introduction to my study, concluded by the problem statement, aims, objectives, and hypotheses. Chapter 2: Concentrations and relative compositions of metallic elements differ between predatory squid and filter-feeding sardine from the Indian and South Atlantic oceans This is the first article in this dissertation and has been submitted to Regional Studies in Marine Science for review in November 2018. The article was accepted for publication January 2020. This article focuses on the patterns of metal concentrations and compositions in sardine and chokka from the South Atlantic and Indian oceans. This is the first study to compare metal concentrations and compositions in muscle tissue of these species between the Indian and South Atlantic oceans. Chapter 3: Differences in metal compositions and concentrations of sympatric predatory fish and squid from the South Atlantic Ocean This is the second article and has been submitted to African Zoology for review in November 2019. This article focuses on the metal concentrations and compositions of four commercial marine predators; chokka, hake, kingklip, and monkfish in the South Atlantic Ocean. This was the first study to compare the metal concentrations and compositions of these species off the coast of Southern Africa Chapter 4: Discussion and conclusions In this chapter, the results of Chapter 2 and 3 are combined, evaluated, discussed, and synthesized. I contributed towards this dissertation and articles with literature studies, collecting data, sourcing materials, preparation of samples for analyses, data analyses and interpretation, constructing the tables and graphs, drafting and managing the manuscripts, and drafting the introduction and conclusion of the dissertation.

  • Who Played a Key Role During the Development of Our Modern-Day Taxonomy and How Does the World Register of Marine Species Contribute to This?
    Report Who played a key role during the development of our modern-day taxonomy and how does the World Register of Marine Species contribute to this? By Daisy ter Bruggen Module LKZ428VNST1 Project internship Van Hall Larenstein, Agora 1, 8934 AL Leeuwarden [email protected] Abstract: Our Western taxonomy officially began with Linnaeus. Nevertheless, equally important discoveries and research has been done long before the Linnaean system was introduced. Aristotle and Linnaeus are two of the most well-known names in history when discussing taxonomy and without them the classification system we use today might have never existed at all. Their interest, research and knowledge in nature was influenced by their upbringing and played a major factor in the running of their lives. Introduction The definition of taxonomy according to the Convention on Biological Diversity “Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms and includes all plants, animals and microorganisms of the world” (2019). Aristotle and Linnaeus are two of the most well-known names in history when discussing taxonomy and without them the classification system we use today might have never existed at all. Their interest, research and knowledge in nature was influenced by their upbringing and played a major factor in the running of their lives. Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) was a Greek philosopher. He was born in Stagira, a small town in Macedonia, Northern Greece (Voultsiadou, Gerovasileiou, Vandepitte, Ganias, & Arvanitidis, 2017). At the age of seventeen, he went to Athens, and studied in Plato’s Academy for 20 years. Which is where he developed his passion to study nature.

  • The Kashrut of Kingklip: Its Turbulent History and Who Decides
    61 The Kashrut of Kingklip: Its Turbulent History and Who Decides By: ARI Z. ZIVOTOFSKY and ARI GREENSPAN Introduction A kashrut question that had engaged the halakhik community from time to time through the twentieth century has once again arisen during the last decade. A species of fish known in various places as kingklip has recently appeared in Israel and generated a turbulent controversy regarding its permissibility. This article will present the history of its status and examine the issues and the arguments in- volved in the debate. We will not arrive at a ruling; that has been done by many competent poskim. We will discuss the halakhik questions, the rationales, and the different analyses that have been employed during the brief 100-year history and thereby illustrate the halakhik process in an area of Jewish law. What is a kingklip? Kingklip (Genypterus capensis, Genypterus blacodes, Genypterus chilensis and others) is a fish that lives near the ocean floor in the southern hemisphere at depths of 50–500 meters. It can grow to be- tween 80 and 200 centimeters, weigh 15–25 kg, and live for up to 30 years. It is a nocturnal, carnivorous feeder that is found in the wa- The authors thank Rabbi Yossi Salzer and Rabbi Desmond Maizels for their generous assistance and time in researching this topic. Ari Greenspan is a dentist in Jerusalem and practices as a mohel and shohet . Ari Zivotofsky, Ph.D., is a rabbi and shohet and teaches in the Bar Ilan University brain science program. Together they have been researching mesorah, history and halakhah from Jewish communities around the world for over 30 years.

  • Mercury and Methylmercury in Food
    WORKING DOCUMENT – DOES NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT THE COMMISSION’S VIEWS Mercury and methylmercury in food 1. Background In reply to the question of the European Commission to consider new developments regarding inorganic mercury and methylmercury toxicity and to evaluate whether the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) provisional tolerable weekly intakes for methylmercury of 1.6 μg/kg body weight (b.w.) and of 4 μg/kg b.w. for inorganic mercury were still appropriate, the CONTAM Panel of the European Food Safety Authority adopted the Scientific Opinion on the risk for public health related to the presence of mercury and methylmercury in food1. As next step, the European Commission requested EFSA to address the risks and benefits as regards fish/seafood consumption related to relevant beneficial substances (e.g. nutrients such as n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids) and the contaminant methylmercury. In response to this question, two additional documents were presented by EFSA: the NDA Panel of the European Food Safety Authority adopted the "Scientific Opinion on health benefits of seafood (fish and shellfish) consumption in relation to health risks associated with exposure to methylmercury"2 and the Scientific Committee3 delivered the "Statement on the benefits of fish/seafood consumption compared to the risks of methylmercury in fish/seafood". 2. Consumption advice During the last meeting of the Expert Committee on Environmental and Industrial Contaminants, some Member States indicated that the information on DG SANTE's website related to mercury was outdated. The current information note4 "Methyl mercury in fish and fishery products" states that "Women who might become pregnant, women who are pregnant or women who are breastfeeding should not eat more than one small portion (<100g) per week of large 1 EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM); Scientific Opinion on the risk for public health related to the presence of mercury and methylmercury in food.

  • Assessment of Genomic Diversity and Population Sub-Structuring of Kingklip (Genypterus Capensis) Off Southern Africa
    Assessment of genomic diversity and population sub-structuring of Kingklip (Genypterus capensis) off southern Africa By Melissa Jane Schulze Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Botany and Zoology at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Sophie von der Heyden Co-supervisor: Dr Romina Henriques April 2019 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualifications. Date: December 2019 Copyright © 2019 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Kingklip (Genypterus capensis) represents a valuable marine resource for both South Africa and Namibia. Historical exploitation levels led to substantial declines in abundance, resulting in the species being considered over-exploited in the past. Currently, there is a lack of consensus regarding kingklip stock structure, with previous studies providing evidence for both multiple and single stocks. Understanding stock structure is vital for the appropriate assessment and management of marine resources. Taking into account both the commercial importance and trans-boundary nature of this species, it is therefore evident that a consensus regarding the fine-scale genetic structure is needed in order to best inform future management decisions. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionised population genetics allowing for the sequencing and identification of thousands of loci at reduced costs, thereby helping to identify weak genetic differentiation and adaptive divergence even in species with high gene flow levels.
