As there were rains in December 2016 in A&N Island, the One Month Data Collection directed by MoEF&CC was carried out in January 2017. The services of M/s. Ekdant Enviro Lab, an accredited Laboratory (Ref. No. T-1575) by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) were utilised for the monitoring. Indane Bottling Plant and Solar (5 MW) and Diesel Power Plants (20 MW of Suryachakra at Bamboo Flat, Power Plants at Chatham and Phoenix Bay-20 MW) exist in the Project vicinity. However, Ships & Inter-island Boats movements, traffic movements in Port Blair Town and in ATR/NH-223 are the sources of air pollution in the study area though some Green and Orange Category Industrial activities in Dollygunj and Mithagari Industrial Estates. 3.2 Micrometeorology The abstract of collected hourly meteorological data (from Chatham Port Control Tower-PCT) are presented in Table 3.1. During the monitoring month : v Predominant winds were from ENE and ESE directions. v Wind velocity readings were ranging from 0.4 kmph to 23.1 kmph. v Calm condition prevailed for about 29.72% of times. v Winds in the velocity range of 1.6-11 kmph were predominant. v The temperature values were ranging from 19.5 oC to 31.5 oC with a mean value of 27.4 oC. v The relative humidity values were ranging from 44% to 97%. v The mean atmospheric pressure value was computed as 758.5 mm of mercury. v Clear and Partly Cloudy skies was observed most of the times. v There were 13 rainy days during the monitoring month with the total rainfall of 79.5 mm. The monitored meteorological data were found to be in compliance with local weather phenomena. 3.3 Ambient Air Quality All 12 AAQ parameters were monitored in compliance with NAAQ norms. During the study, each 80 samples were collected, analysed and reported. The monitored ambient air quality data are presented in Tables 3.2-3.11. The abstract of those monitored data is given as Table 3.12 and the ambient air quality status in the study area as Table 3.13.

  • Estimates of Sponge Consumption Rates on an Indo-Pacific Reef
    Vol. 672: 123–140, 2021 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published August 19 https://doi.org/10.3354/meps13786 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Estimates of sponge consumption rates on an Indo-Pacific reef Charlotte Mortimer1, Matthew Dunn2, Abdul Haris3, Jamaluddin Jompa3, James Bell1,* 1School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington 6012, New Zealand 2The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), Wellington 6021, New Zealand 3Universitas Hasanuddin, Department of Marine Science, Makassar 90245, Indonesia ABSTRACT: Determining predator diets is essential for understanding the strength of top-down processes and how they cascade through food webs. This is especially important for sponges, key members of benthic communities, whose dominance has increased in recent years on some coral reefs. However, the diversity of spongivorous fishes and the sponges they consume are relatively unknown. Here, we estimated sponge consumption by spongivorous fishes in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia. We deployed cameras to identify fish biting at the dominant reef sponge Xestospongia spp. and then used gut content analysis and fish abundance estimates to quantify sponge consumption. In total, 33 species from 10 families of reef fish were identified taking bites from Xestospongia spp.; however, the 2 most prolific sponge-grazers, Ctenochaetus binotatus and Chaetodon kleinii, had no sponge in their guts, showing that for some fish, bites on sponge surfaces are not reliable evidence of sponge consumption. Gut contents indicated that Pygoplites diacanthus was an obligate spongivore, while Pomacanthus imperator, P. xanthometo- pon, Zanclus cornutus and Siganus punctatus regularly consumed sponges. Sponge consumption by these 5 spongivores was estimated at 46.6 ± 18.3 g sponge 1000 m−2 d−1.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCS ALONG A DEPTH GRADIENT IN THE BAHAMAS Michael Joseph Dowgiallo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Department of Biology, UMCP Species richness and abundance of benthic bivalve and gastropod molluscs was determined over a depth gradient of 5 - 244 m at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas by deploying replicate benthic collectors at five sites at 5 m, 14 m, 46 m, 153 m, and 244 m for six months beginning in December 1993. A total of 773 individual molluscs comprising at least 72 taxa were retrieved from the collectors. Analysis of the molluscan fauna that colonized the collectors showed overwhelmingly higher abundance and diversity at the 5 m, 14 m, and 46 m sites as compared to the deeper sites at 153 m and 244 m. Irradiance, temperature, and habitat heterogeneity all declined with depth, coincident with declines in the abundance and diversity of the molluscs. Herbivorous modes of feeding predominated (52%) and carnivorous modes of feeding were common (44%) over the range of depths studied at Lee Stocking Island, but mode of feeding did not change significantly over depth. One bivalve and one gastropod species showed a significant decline in body size with increasing depth. Analysis of data for 960 species of gastropod molluscs from the Western Atlantic Gastropod Database of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) that have ranges including the Bahamas showed a positive correlation between body size of species of gastropods and their geographic ranges. There was also a positive correlation between depth range and the size of the geographic range.

  • THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
    August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject.
