Furthermore, seed supply for native species FAO Regional Technical Workshop relies, for the most part, on natural collection, subject to 18–21 October 2010 natural population abundance with wide yearly variations. This Kingston, Jamaica situation has led to the current trend of culturing more readily available exotic species, but with a potentially undesirable impact on the natural environment. The centralizing of resources available in the region into a shared facility has been recommended by several expert meetings over the past 20 years. The establishment of a regional hatchery facility, supporting sustainable aquaculture through the seed production of native molluscan species was discussed at the FAO workshop “Regional shellfish hatchery: A feasibility study” held in Kingston, Jamaica, in October 2010, by representatives of Caribbean Governments and experts in the field. Molluscan species are particularly targeted due to their culture potential in terms of known techniques, simple grow-out technology and low impact on surrounding environment. It is proposed that a regional molluscan hatchery would produce seed for sale and distribution to grow-out operations in the region as well as provide technical support for the research on new species.

  • Morphological Convergence of Shell Shape in Distantly Related Scallop Species (Mollusca: Pectinidae)

SERB1*, ALVIN ALEJANDRINO1, ERIK OTÁROLA-CASTILLO1 and DEAN C. ADAMS1,2 1Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA 2Department of Statistics, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA Received 3 June 2010; revised 3 October 2010; accepted for publication 4 October 2010 Morphological convergence is a central concept in evolutionary biology, but convergent patterns remain under- studied in nonvertebrate organisms. Some scallop species exhibit long-distance swimming, a behaviour whose biomechanical requirements probably generate similar selective regimes. We tested the hypothesis that shell shape similarity in long-distance swimming species is a result of convergent evolution. Using landmark-based geometric morphometrics, we quantified shell shape in seven species representing major behavioural habits. All species displayed distinct shell shapes, with the exception of the two long-distance swimmers, whose shells were indistinguishable. These species also displayed reduced morphological variance relative to other taxa. Finally, a phylogenetic simulation revealed that these species were more similar in their shell shape than was expected under Brownian motion, the model of character evolution that best described changes in shell shape. Together, these findings reveal that convergent evolution of shell shape occurs in scallops, and suggest that selection for shell shape and behaviour may be important in the diversification of the group.zoj_707 571..584 © 2011 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 163, 571–584. doi: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2011.00707.x ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS: adaptation – convergent evolution – geometric morphometrics – mollusc.

Velasco ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. Cittarium pica is an endangered Caribbean gastropod of ecological and economic importance. In order to provide the basis for the aquaculture development and/or population management of this species, the relationships among its body size and physiological variables associated with the energetic balance were assessed. Individual measurements of rates of egestion (ER), ingestion (IR), absorption (AR), oxygen consumption (OCR), ammonia excretion (UR), mucus production (MR), absorption efficiency (AE) and scope for growth (SFG), were carried out on specimens between 0.01 and 12.07 g of dry weight of the soft parts (DW) under controlled laboratory conditions. Most of the variables showed positive potential relationships with the DW of the animals (ER mg h-1 = 1.51 DW0.37, IR mg h-1 = 0.32 0.30 -1 0.74 -1 0.78 4.13 DW , AR = 2.56 DW , OCR mL O2 h = 0.38 DW , UR µg NH4 -N h = 19.17 DW , MR mg h-1 = 1.28 DW0.14 and SFG = 36.92 DW0.22). AE did not show any relationship with this variable. The large snails had faster input and output of energy compared to the small specimens, also having proportionally greater energetic expenditures, mucus production, and energetic balance.

Velasco ([email protected]) ABSTRACT. The potential of the Caribbean strain Chaetoceros muelleri (CHA-C-04) to be produced and used as diet of two commercially important native scallops (Argopecten nucleus and Nodipecten nodosus) was assessed, using the non-indigenous Chaetoceros calcitrans strain, as a control. Growth and biomass of both diatoms were compared under different culture environments (indoor and outdoor) and culture media (F/2, organic fertilizer triple 15 and humus extract). In addition, their bromatological composition and effect on the physiological condition of the scallops fed with both diatoms were compared. The growth and biomass production of C. muelleri and C. calcitrans were higher under indoor conditions and using the F/2 media. Although the content of proteins, lipids and energy was higher in C. muelleri than in C. calcitrans, its size, organic content, growth and biomass values were not different. Scallops fed with both diatoms strains shows similar values for all of the physiological variables measured, including rates of absorption, oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion and scope for growth. Results suggest that the local strain C. muelleri can be successfully produced and used in the diet of A.

Las dietas que contenían I. galbana presentaron los mayores valores en cada una de las variables medidas, en comparación con aquellas que carecían de esta. Particularmente, la dieta mixta I. galbana + C. calcitrans presentó superioridad en todas las variables, aunque en la mayoría de los casos fue estadísticamente similar a I. galbana + C. calcitrans + T. suecica, I. galbana + T. suecica e I. galbana sola. Por el contrario, las dietas que arrojaron los resultados más bajos fueron C. calcitrans y C. calcitrans + T. suecica. Los resultados obtenidos se atribuyen principalmente a la composición nutricional, especialmente de ácidos grasos altamente insaturados (HUFA por sus siglas en inglés) de cada microalga y de cada mezcla suministrada, la cual se discute detalladamente.
