EDGERLY2,3 1Faculty of Science and Technology, Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University, Phitsanulok, 65000, Thailand. E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Biology, Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, 95053, CA, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract Four new species of webspinners in the genus Ptilocerembia Friederichs (Ptilocerembiidae) are described including Ptilocerembia thaidina sp. n., P. senathami sp. n., P. catherinae sp. n. and P. rossi sp. n. from Thailand. Illustrations of heads, genitalia and papilla of adult males, sternite pattern of adult females together with photographs of adult males, females and their galleries for each species are provided. Notes on field observations and egg mass structure are given for P. catherinae sp. n. A distribution map and a dichotomous key to the Thai species in the genus Ptilocerembia are also included. Key words: Embiidina, Embiodea, taxonomy, Thailand, webspinner Introduction The webspinner family Ptilocerembiidae Miller and Edgerly, 2012 consists of only one Southeast Asian genus known to date, Ptilocerembia Friederichs, 1923, which was erected based on a single species from Indonesia (Ptilocerembia roepkei Friederichs, 1923). Nevertheless, the genus probably occurs throughout Thailand as well as in eastern Myanmar (Ross, 1963). -

Trace Elements in Marine Sediment and Organisms in the Gulf of Thailand
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Review Trace Elements in Marine Sediment and Organisms in the Gulf of Thailand Suwalee Worakhunpiset Department of Social and Environmental Medicine, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, 420/6 Ratchavithi Rd, Bangkok 10400, Thailand; [email protected]; Tel.: +66-2-354-9100 Received: 13 March 2018; Accepted: 13 April 2018; Published: 20 April 2018 Abstract: This review summarizes the findings from studies of trace element levels in marine sediment and organisms in the Gulf of Thailand. Spatial and temporal variations in trace element concentrations were observed. Although trace element contamination levels were low, the increased urbanization and agricultural and industrial activities may adversely affect ecosystems and human health. The periodic monitoring of marine environments is recommended in order to minimize human health risks from the consumption of contaminated marine organisms. Keywords: trace element; environment; pollution; sediment; gulf of Thailand 1. Introduction Environmental pollution is an urgent concern worldwide [1]. Pollutant contamination can exert adverse effects on ecosystems and human health [2]. Trace elements are one type of pollutant released into the environment, and metal contamination levels are rising. The main sources of trace elements are natural activities such as volcanic eruptions and soil erosion, and human activities such as industrial production, waste disposal, the discharge of contaminated wastewater, the inappropriate management of electronic waste (e-waste), and the application of fertilizers in agriculture [3–7]. Once trace elements are released into the environment, they can be dispersed by the wind and deposited in soil and bodies of water, accumulating in marine sediments [8,9]. -

SEDAR7-DW-39 Florida Marine Research Institute Fishery Dependent Monitoring
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission SEDAR7-DW-39 Florida Marine Research Institute Fishery Dependent Monitoring Marine Information System • To conserve and manage Florida’s marine Fisheries • Established by Florida Statute (F.S.) Chapter 370 in 1983 • Requires wholesale dealers to report each purchase of saltwater products from licensed commercial fishers • Requires wholesale and retail dealers who produce (i.e., catch) saltwater products themselves to report amounts produced • Monthly reporting required (weekly for quota-managed species) • F.S. 370.07(6)(a) and Florid Administrative Code (FAC) 68E-5 specifies that records are to be kept by the dealers, the contents of these records, and reporting requirements Marine Fisheries Trip Ticket • Trip tickets are used to quantify commercial landings (pounds and value) of fish and shellfish. Annually, about 110 million pounds worth an estimated $190 million are reported on approximately 260,000 trip tickets. • Provides resource managers with a measure of fishing effort (trips) and trends in fisheries • Allows comparison of trip information (e.g., which species are caught, gears used on trips, participants in a fishery, levels of landings from trips). • Provides fishers with a record of sales of fish and invertebrates, and participation in fisheries • Four types of tickets: FWC issued, other approved dealer forms, oyster tally sheets, and digital records (see Attachments A1, A2) Trip ticket data collected • From 1985-1989, the marine fisheries trip ticket required the following information: Saltwater Products License (SPL; fisher license), dealer license, unloading date, time fished (usually time away from dock), county landed (where product came ashore), number of sets (nets, long lines), traps pulled (trap fisheries), soak time, species code, and amount of catch (usually in pounds).
