[email protected] Abstract Microbial interactions are crucial for Earth ecosystem function, yet our knowledge about them is limited and has so far mainly existed as scattered records. Here, we have surveyed the literature involving planktonic protist interactions and gathered the information in a manually curated Protist Interaction DAtabase (PIDA). In total, we have registered ~2,500 ecological interactions from ~500 publications, spanning the last 150 years. -

Corresponding author: Caio Ceza da Silva Nunes, [email protected] Abstract Dinoflagellates display great diversity in tropical regions and play an important role in the complex microbial food webs of marine and brackish environments. The goal of this study is to identify planktonic dinoflagellates and their distribution in the estuary of the Maraú River, Camamu Bay, state of Bahia, in a region with increasing use of shellfish farming. Samples were carried out monthly from August 2006 to July 2007 at four stations along the estuary. Plankton was sampled with a 20 μm mesh net. We identified 20 dinoflagellate species. The greatest species richness was ob- served in the genera Protoperidinium (five spp.), Tripos (four spp.), and Prorocentrum (three spp.). Based on literature, six species were classified as potentially harmful: Akashiwo sanguinea, Dinophysis caudata, Gonyaulax spinifera, Prorocentrum micans, Scrippsiella cf. acuminata, and Tripos furca. Protoperidinium venustum was recorded for the first time in coastal waters of Bahia. Keywords Brackish water, Dinophyta, distribution, potentially harmful species, taxonomy. -

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS WATER RESOURCES CENTER 2535 Hydrosystems Laboratory Urbana, Illinois 61801 AUGUST 1977 ABSTRACT Water samples and free-living and sessite ciliated protozoa were col- lected at various distances above and below a stream that received runoff from a feedlot. No correlation was found between the species of protozoa recovered, water chemistry, location in the stream, or time of collection. Kenneth S. Todd, Jr'. EFFECTS OF FEEDLOT RUNOFF ON FREE-LIVING AQUATIC CILIATED PROTOZOA Final Report Project A-074-ILL, Office of Water Resources Research, Department of the Interior, August 1977, Washington, D.C., 13 p. KEYWORDS--*ciliated protozoa/feed lots runoff/*water pollution/water chemistry/Illinois/surface water INTRODUCTION The current trend for feeding livestock in the United States is toward large confinement types of operation. Most of these large commercial feedlots have some means of manure disposal and programs to prevent runoff from feed- lots from reaching streams. However, there are still large numbers of smaller feedlots, many of which do not have adequate facilities for disposal of manure or preventing runoff from reaching waterways. The production of wastes by domestic animals was often not considered in the past, but management of wastes is currently one of the largest problems facing the livestock industry. -

Parasitic and Fungal Identification in Bamboo Lobster Panulirus versicolour and Ornate Lobster P. ornatus Cultures Indriyani Nur1)* and Yusnaini2) 1) Department of Aquaculture, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, University of Halu Oleo, Kendari 93232, Indonesia Corresponding author: [email protected] (Indriyani Nur) Abstract—Lobster cultures have failed because of mortalities transmissible [5] including Vibrio, Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, associated with parasitic and fungal infections. Monitoring of spawned Cytophaga and Pseudoalteromonas [6,7]. Futher examination eggs and larva of bamboo lobsters, Panulirus versicolour, and ornate of these lobsters revealed four parasite species: Porospora lobsters, P. ornatus, in a hatchery was conducted in order to gigantea (Apicomplexa: Sporozoea), Polymorphus botulus characterize fungal and parasitic diseases of eggs and larva. One (Acanthocephala: Palaeacanthocephala), Hysterothylacium sp. species of protozoan parasite (Vorticella sp.) was identified from eggs while two species of fungi (Lagenidium sp. and Haliphthoros sp.) were (Nematoda: Secernentea), and Stichocotyle nephropis found on the lobster larvae. Furthermore, adult lobsters cultured in (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda) [8]. Therefore, the aim of this floating net cages had burning-like diseases on their pleopod, uropod, study was to examine and to characterize the infestation of and telson. Histopathological samples were collected for parasite parasites and fungus of potentially cultured lobsters (larval identification and tissue changes. There were two parasites found to stages and adult stages of the spiny lobsters), and also to look infect spiny lobsters on their external body and gill, they are Octolasmis sp. and Oodinium sp..Histopathology showed tissue at the histopathological changes of their tissues. This is changes, necrosis on the kidneys/liver/pancreas, necrosis in the gills regarded as a major cause of low production in aquaculture and around the uropods and telson. -

May, 2019 Thessaloniki - Greece Page 2 of 63 George Tsipas ’’Metagenomic characterization of unicellular eukaryotes in the urban Thessaloniki Bay’’ 1. Abstract The present research investigates through metagenomics sequencing the unicellular protistan communities in Thermaikos Gulf. This research analyzes the diversity, composition and abundance in this marine environment. Water samples were collected monthly from April 2017 to February 2018 in the port of Thessaloniki (Harbor site, 40o 37’ 55 N, 22o 56’ 09 E). The extraction of DNA was completed as well as the sequencing was performed, before the downstream read processing and the taxonomic classification that was assigned using PR2 database. A total of 1248 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were detected but only 700 unicellular eukaryotes were analyzed, excluding unclassified OTUs, Metazoa and Streptophyta. In this research-based study the most abundant and diverse taxonomic groups were Dinoflagellata and Protalveolata. Specifically, the most abundant groups of all samples are Dinoflagellata with 190 OTUs (27.70%), Protalveolata with 139 OTUs (20.26%) Ochrophyta with 73 OTUs (10.64%), Cercozoa with 67 OTUs (9.77%) and Ciliophora with 64 OTUs (9.33%).
