  • Feeding Selectivity of the Herbivorous Fish Scartichthys Viridis:Effects on Macroalgal Community Structure in a Temperatea Rocky Intertidal Coastal Zone
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 184: 219-229,1999 Published July 28 Mar Ecol Prog Ser I I Feeding selectivity of the herbivorous fish Scartichthys viridis: effects on macroalgal community structure in a temperatea rocky intertidal coastal zone F. Patricio Ojeda*, Alejandro A. Munoz** Departamento de Ecologia, Facultad de Ciencias Biologicas, P. Universidad Catolica de Chile, Casilla 114-D. Santiago. Chile ABSTRACT: The ecological importance of fish herbivory was examined in a temperate rocky intertidal zone along the central Chilean coast. In this system, the blenny Scartichtl~ysviridjs is the most abun- dant and only herbivorous fish. We describe its diet, determine its field food selectivity (gut contents vs macroalgal field availabihty comparison), and report on ~tslaboratory dietary preferences in a multiple- choice feeding experiment. Finally, we evaluate the relative effects of fish herbivory and grazing inver- tebrates on macroalgal abundance, distribution and diversity patterns in the field, using replicated exclusion cages to manipulate grazing intensity. S. viridis was found to be a selective grazer; its diet was dominated by 2 macroalgae: the green Ulva and the red Gelidium, representing 32.6 and 41.4 % of its total gut content biomass, respectively. Ulva was consumed much above its field availability while Gelidium was selected only during fall-winter. In the laboratory, S. viridis selected the green macroal- gae Ulva rigida and Codium dimorphum and avoided Gelidium chilense. We suggest that Gelidium may be included in its diet due to the limited availability of Ulva in the field. Experimental exclusion of this fish from rocky surfaces resulted in increased abundance of green foliose macroalgae (U.

    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETIC INVESTIGATION OF THE CLINGFISHES (TELEOSTEI: GOBIESOCIDAE) A Thesis by CRAGEN DANIELLE KING Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Kevin W. Conway Committee Members, Gary Voelker David Portnoy Interdisciplinary Faculty Chair, Duncan MacKenzie December 2017 Major Subject: Marine Biology Copyright 2017 Cragen Danielle King ABSTRACT Currently, there are roughly 170 species of clingfishes (family Gobiesocidae) divided between ten subfamilies in a “phenetic” classification scheme proposed over 60 years ago. Recently, an alternative classification scheme was proposed which included only two subfamilies. For this study, a large scale multi-locus investigation on the phylogenetic relationships of the Gobiesocidae was conducted using both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data to assess whether the two available classification schemes reflect the evolutionary relationships of the group. Phylogenetic hypotheses are obtained from Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood analyses of two mitochondrial (12S and COI; 1062 bp) and five nuclear genes (ENC1, GLYT, MYH6, SH3PX3, and ZIC1; 3785 bp) for 81 species of clingfishes. Four of the ten subfamilies (Aspasminae, Diademichthyinae, Diplocrepinae, and Gobiesocinae) and four genera (Aspasmichthys, Cochleoceps, Lepadichthys, and Lepadogaster) are obtained as not monophyletic. The resulting topologies also do not recover the two-subfamily classification scheme as useful for classifying clingfishes because subfamily Cheilobranchinae is obtained as a monophyletic group that is deeply embedded inside the second subfamily Gobiesocinae. The two available classification schemes and their included subfamilies are discussed in detail. ii DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my grandparents, parents, siblings, and to the Smiths for all of their love and support.

However, living marine resources in these waters are declining due to overexploitation and other anthropogenic and environmental factors. It has been reported that deploying artificial reefs in coastal waters can improve the production of benthic resources. Toensure the sustainability of coastal fisheries in northern Chile this study aims to investigate fishermen’s perceptions on deploying artificial reefs and propose future management measures using Caleta Pisagua as a case study. Interviews of artisanal fishermen regarding four aspects: fishermen profile, fishing activity, resources, and artificial reefs were conducted.

  • Humboldt Penguin at PERU LNG Marine Terminal Authors: Anibal
    Humboldt Penguin at PERU LNG Marine Terminal Authors: Anibal Diaz1; Martha Ly2 1Associate, Marine Biologist, Senior Environmental Consultant - Golder Associates Perú 2Associate, Biologist, Socio-Environmental Team Leader – Golder Associates Perú Abstract Humboldt Penguin (Spheniscus humboldti) has a distribution predominantly along the coasts of Peru and Chile. In recent years, six main breeding colonies have been observed in Peru and approximately ten in Chile. The species has undergone large fluctuations in numbers in the last 25 years, but with an overall downward trend. The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and anchovy overfishing are considered the main cause. The species is listed as vulnerable by IUCN. Penguins started to visit the PERU LNG (PLNG) marine facilities area after it was constructed. The species has now colonized the breakwater at the terminal and is using the complex concrete structure as a breeding site. Other species of birds also use the breakwater, and marine life is also associated with the underwater structure, creating a unique green marine infrastructure. The use of a Project facility by a listed species has been a chance occurrence. However, the presence of the species indicates an increased biodiversity in the Project area. While the presence of a listed species on a Project site represents new challenges to PLNG, it also represents an opportunity to create an environment that support biodiversity. This paper summarizes the current biodiversity created around the breakwater and analyzes their positive impacts. Introduction The PLNG's Liquefied Natural Gas Plant in Pampa Melchorita is located on the coastline, south of Lima, Peru. PLNG has an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approved by the Peruvian Environmental Authorities.

  • Effects of Human Exclusion on Parasitism in Intertidal Food Webs of Central Chile
    Effects of Human Exclusion on Parasitism in Intertidal Food Webs of Central Chile GERALDINE´ LOOT,∗‡ MARCELA ALDANA,∗ AND SERGIO A. NAVARRETE∗† ∗Estaci´on Costera de Investigaciones Marinas Las Cruces and Departamento de Ecolog´ıa, Pontificia Universidad Cat´olica de Chile, Casilla 114-D, Santiago, Chile †Center for Advanced Studies in Ecology and Biodiversity, Pontificia Universidad Cat´olica de Chile Abstract: Numerous ecological studies have demonstrated the dramatic effects that humans have on coastal marine ecosystems. Consequently, marine reserves have been established to preserve biodiversity. Recent re- views show that this strategy has paid off because inside reserves, most species have rapidly increased in size and abundance. Even though these studies focused on free-living organisms and paid little attention to par- asite populations, numerous authors support the hypothesis that parasitism levels could be good indicators of ecosystem stability. We examined harvesting effects on the dynamics of a parasitic trematode ( Proctoeces lintoni) that completes its life cycle in intertidal mussels ( Perumytilus purpuratus), keyhole limpets (Fissurella crassa), and clingfish ( Sicyases sanguineus). All of these species are directly or indirectly affected by humans. Prevalence and abundance of the trematode P. lintoni in the three host species were compared in four study sites that differed in the intensity of human harvest. Parasitism infection in limpets and mussels was signifi- cantly higher in areas protected from human harvesting than in open-access areas, which suggests a significant change in parasite dynamics inside reserves. Yet the average parasitic biomass found in the gonads of F. crassa did not differ between protected and open-access areas. These results show, then, that the parasite system re- sponded by increasing infection rates in marine protected areas without implication for reproductive success of the intermediate host.

  • Feeding Variations and Shape Changes of a Temperate Reef Clingfish During Its Early Ontogeny

ORCID-iD: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5199-5103 Summary: The majority of rocky reef fishes have complex life cycles, involving transition from a pelagic to a benthic environment. This means that as they grow, their morphology, behaviour and feeding habits must change. Therefore, shape changes occurring during early development of these fishes will be related to diet changes. The clingfish Sicyases sanguineus was selected for this study, because it displays a noticeable variation in shape from pelagic larvae to juvenile stage, and it is expected that diet composition will change as well. The pattern of shape changes was studied using geometric morphomet- rics. A set of 9 landmarks were digitized in 159 larval and juvenile fish and the same specimens were used for gut content analysis. Allometric growth was most prominent early in the ontogeny, from 4 to 12 mm. Morphology changed from a thin and hydrodynamic shape to a more robust and deeper body prior to settlement. The diet of the clingfish during larval stages showed preferences for a variety of copepod stages.

  • Population Structure, Diets and Biogeographic Relationships of a Rocky Intertidal Fish Assemblage in Central Chile: High Levels of Herbivory in a Temperate System
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 47(3): 598-612,1990 POPULATION STRUCTURE, DIETS AND BIOGEOGRAPHIC RELATIONSHIPS OF A ROCKY INTERTIDAL FISH ASSEMBLAGE IN CENTRAL CHILE: HIGH LEVELS OF HERBIVORY IN A TEMPERATE SYSTEM Carol A. Stepien ABSTRACT Intertidal fishes were sampled in August 1987 using Quinaldine or rotenone from rocky habitats near Viiia del Mar, Chile (33"OO'S),a region of biogeographic transition between northerly warm temperate and southerly cold temperate faunas. Fishes collected belonged to the following 9 families and 12 species, in decreasing order of abundance: Tripterygion cunninghami (Tripterygiidae), Myxodes viridis (Clinidae), Scartichthys viridis (B1enniidae), Graus nigra (Girellidae), Girella laevifrons (Girellidae), Auchenionchus microcirrhis (Labri- somidae), Aplodactylus puncta/us (Aplodactylidae), Sicyases sanguineus (Gobiesocidae), Hyp- soblennius sordidus (Blenniidae), Clupeafuegensis (Clupeidae), Auchenionchus variolosus (La- brisomidae), and Ophiogobiusjenynsi (Gobiidae). Seven species (and 52% of the total number of individuals sampled) were primarily warm temperate in distribution (M. viridis, S. viridis. G. laevifrons. A. punctatus, A. microcirrhis, H. sordidus, and S. sanguineus), the remainder were primarily cold temperate. Gut content analyses determined that four species (S. viridis, G. laevifrons, S. sanguineus, and A. punctatus) representing 20% of the total number of individuals and 51% of total biomass were primarily herbivorous. All of the primarily her- bivorous species had warm-temperate distributions. The present study suggests that intertidal fish herbivory is considerably more important in central Chile than in other known temperate systems. The central Chilean nearshore ichthyofauna has been little-studied. Several biogeographic studies have described a faunal break in the vicinity of the present study, north of Valparaiso (33°S), with warm-temperate Peruvian fauna to the north and cold temperate Chilean fauna to the south (Woodward, 1851-1856; Balech, 1954; Soot-Ryen, 1959; Mann, 1954).
