Toxic Dinoflagellate Spores in Ships' Ballast Water
Final Report FIRDC Grant 89 I 39 Toxic dinoflagellate spores in ships' ballast water : A danger to aquaculture G.M. Hallegraeff CSIRO Marine Laboratories, GPO Box 1538, Hobart, Tasmania 7 001 April 1992 Foreword The present investigations on "Toxic dinoflagellate spores in ships' ballast water" and "its implications for aquaculture" were funded by FIRDC grant 89 I 39 (Sept 1989 - Sept 1991 ) . This research involved a collaborative effort between CSIRO Division of Fisheries and the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), and was instigated by the claim by CSIRO that the toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum in Tasmanian waters could have been introduced via cyst stages contained in ships' ballast water. In February 1986, contamination of Tasmanian shellfish with dinoflagellate toxins led to the closure of 15 shellfish farms for periods up to 6 months. Subsequently, similar toxic dinoflagellate outbreaks surfaced in the Australian ports of Adelaide (Aiexandrium minutum ) and Melbourne (Aiexandrium catenella ) . Genetic evidence (rRNA fingerprints) suggest that these latter species are also ballast water introductions. The present research received considerable national and international publicity ( front page news in the Hobart "Mercury" and "Sydney Morning Herald", national television coverage on the "7.30 report" and "Beyond.2000"). The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service has responded to this evidence by introducing, as of 1 February 1990, voluntary ballast water guidelines for ships entering Australian ports from overseas. As of 1 November 1991, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) ratified these guidelines for adoption on an international basis. The present FIRDC- funded research has functioned as a catalyst for further ballast water research funds (600 K) made available by AQIS and BRR. -

Among the Taiwanese, fish is considered auspicious and a sym bol of bounty. This is because the pronunciation of “fish” (yü) is similar to that of “surplus” (yü), indicating abundance and pros perity. A fish specialty, with the fish preferably presented in its entirety, is a constant fare on the dining table during special occa sions. And in the true Taiwanese tradition, this most special dish is served as the last course, something truly worth waiting for, and remembered.

CENTENNIAL: Grand Prairie, Texas 1909-2009
CENTENNIAL: Grand Prairie, Texas 1909-2009 Foreword “Centennial” is a window into the growth and development of Grand Prairie, Texas, USA Compiled from City Documents and Public Records, the information presented is representative of actions and events in the City of Grand Prairie during its first 100 years. Grand Prairie was given its name by the Texas and Pacific Railroad based on its location on the southern edge of a geological region called “Grand Prairie” that is composed of Eagleford Shale stretching from Texas north through the Dakotas and into Canada.

With a population approaching 170,000 people, the city is no longer a stagecoach stop between Dallas and Fort Worth. In fact, Grand Prairie is the 7th largest city in North Central Texas, enjoying an international economy, with a tax base in excess of $10 Billion. In 2007, the City was the 6th fastest growing municipality in the United States. More than 20% of single family homes have no mortgage. -

100YEARS INDEFENSE OFFREEDOM CENTENNIALREPORT In 1920—just after World War I—a small group of people met in a Beacon Home of ACLU of Massachusetts co-founder Hill home to resist a widespread government clampdown on immigrants, Margaret Shurcliff | Boston anti-war dissenters, and labor organizers. These Bay Staters joined the call Carol Rose, executive director at the ACLU of of Massachusetts-born ACLU founder Roger Baldwin. Together, they formed Massachusetts, stands outside the historic residence where a small group of activists the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts—the first ACLU state affiliate in founded the organization in 1920. the nation. The ACLU has always been rooted in courage and guided by a vision: to extend the promise of civil rights and civil liberties to all people. In 1920, the U.S. Supreme Court had yet to uphold a single free speech claim. So- called radicals were rounded up and deported in droves. Activists languished in jail for distributing anti-war literature and for promoting contraception and equal rights. Women won the right to vote just that year, and the Voting Rights Act was decades away. Equal rights for LGBTQ people were unthinkable. And yet, the ACLU dared to envision how, by standing together in support of civil rights and civil liberties, we could create a more just and equitable nation for all. Much has changed in the last century—but our role has not. For 100 years, the ACLU has been the leading defender of freedom here in Massachusetts and nationwide. The ACLU has grown from a small group of idealists to a vast resistance movement. -

Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein. -

Endangered Species
FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

However, introgression, stocking anthropogenic (human induced) hybridization of historically isolated taxa raises conservation issues. Due to weak barriers to gene flow and the presence of endan- Correspondence gered taxa, the whitefish species complex is an
