The Role of the Aquarium of Rhodes (Eastern Mediterranean Sea)
Cah. Biol. Mar. (2014) 55 : 173-182 The role of the Aquarium of Rhodes (eastern Mediterranean Sea) on raising public awareness to marine invasions, with a note on the husbandry and trade of marine aliens Maria CORSINI-FOKA, Gerasimos KONDYLATOS and Elias SANTORINIOS Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes, Cos Street, GR-85100 Rhodes, Greece Fax: +302241078321, Email: [email protected] Abstract: A total of 33 alien species collected from the wild, has been listed among the displays of the public Aquarium of Rhodes (Greece), mainly since 2000. The essential contribution of the Aquarium to document the intensification of marine alien species introduction, disseminate knowledge and increase public awareness on the ecological and socio- economic risks linked to biological invasions is underlined. The diffusion of aliens in other eastern Mediterranean Aquaria is reported. The potential use of these organisms in the aquarium trade and its eventual effects on marine ecosystems are discussed. Details on collection and aquarium maintenance conditions are also provided. Résumé: Le rôle de l’Aquarium de Rhodes (Mer Méditerranée orientale) pour sensibiliser le public aux invasions marines, ainsi qu’une note sur la gestion du marché des espèces exotiques. Un total de 33 espèces exotiques prélevées dans le milieu naturel a été répertorié depuis le début des années 1980 dans les bassins de l’Aquarium public de Rhodes (Grèce), surtout depuis 2000. La contribution essentielle de l’Aquarium à documenter l’intensification de l’introduction d’espèces exotiques marines, à disséminer la connaissance et à sensibiliser le public sur les risques écologiques et socio-économiques associée aux invasions biologiques est mis en évidence.

Crustacea Decapoda from the Rhodes Island Area (Eastern Mediterranean): New Records and an Updated Checklist

Received: 22 May 2020; Accepted: 10 June 2020; Published: 15 June 2020 Abstract: Decapod crustaceans are ecologically and commercially important members of marine communities. Faunal surveys constitute essential tools for the understanding of local diversity, especially in areas subjected to signiﬁcant alterations of community composition due to climate changes, anthropogenic impacts, and biological invasions. Following a literature review and the study of new samples, we hereby update on the Crustacea Decapoda from the Rhodes Island area (Greece), situated in a key position in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Published data yielded records of 120 species, whereas 28 taxa are recorded here for the ﬁrst time from the study area. Among them, the collection of Liocarcinus bolivari widens its distribution to the eastern Mediterranean. Details on material examined and distributional/faunal remarks are provided for the species newly recorded and for some other native and alien species rarely reported from Rhodes. The present paper raises the local decapod biodiversity to 148 species, accounting for ~50% of the Hellenic Aegean decapod fauna and provides a useful baseline for analysing the long-term changes in the local fauna and the westward spreading of Lessepsian species.

Students Who Follow Bilingual Education (TTO) at Mencia Will Take Part in Two Exchange Projects Or Study Trips. One Will Be in T
Students who follow bilingual education (TTO) at Mencia will take part in two exchange projects or study trips. One will be in the junior department and the other in the senior department. Each exchange project will work with a theme, which is an essential as well as compulsory part. At the moment we exchange relations with Spain, Finland, Germany, Bulgaria and Greece in the lower forms and Norway, Poland and Rumania in the upper forms. The outline of this particular project will take place in year 3 of TTO-Gymnasium. 32 students from Mencia de Mendoza Lyceum in Breda and 4th Gymnasium of Rhodes will cooperate in a joint project on climate change and water management carrying the title "Water: Friend or Foe?" The objectives are to create awareness (on water management and climate change priorities in The Netherlands as well as in Rhodes) and by working together and exploring and analysing Dutch as well as Greek (Rhodes) challenges in relation to water management and climate change on solutions on individual, national-European and global level. For example, students will be made aware that it should never be taken for granted that we live safely, without fear of flooding or drought. What are the student's individual views on climate change? Have they had any personal experience with flooding/water shortage/water pollution? How far can these issues be attributed to the changing climate? Do they think their region/Greece/The Netherlands/Europe/ International community does enough to help those adversely affected by flooding, drought and water pollution? What kind of precautions should be being taken to prevent water management problems in the future? Planned activities in The Netherlands which are closely linked to the project are; Kinderdijk Unesco world heritage and museum Blokweer as well as Amsterdam with its famous canals both as part of visiting a Unesco heritage site which relates to the theme of water management on the old days, walking tour of Breda, Watersnoodramp museum Ouderkerk where pupils will see that water can become your worst enemy (foe).

Along with the recent report of Xanthias lamarckii in similar conditions and region, the finding of another non-indigenous xanthid poses many questions regarding their occurrence in the area.
