  • Morphological Monitoring of Subtidal Sponge Assemblages

    Morphological Monitoring of Subtidal Sponge Assemblages

    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 311: 79–91, 2006 Published April 13 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Morphological monitoring of subtidal sponge assemblages James J. Bell1,*, Mark Burton2, Blaise Bullimore2, Philip B. Newman2, Kate Lock2 1Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, Edward Llwyd Building, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion SY23 3DA, UK 2Skomer Marine Nature Reserve, Countryside Council for Wales, Fishermans Cottage, Martins Haven, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire SA62 3BJ, UK ABSTRACT: The management of the marine environment requires effective temporal monitoring of communities and assemblages to detect any change above the level of natural variability. Even though sponges are usually abundant in subtidal hard substratum environments and have the ability to significantly influence other community members, they have often been excluded from monitoring programmes because they are taxonomically difficult and often hard to quantify compared to other marine groups. We consider the use of a morphological method to examine photoquadrat data collected at 3 hard substratum sites over a 10 yr period at Skomer Marine Nature Reserve, south-west Wales. Differences in the morphological assemblages and abundance were apparent between years, but the sponge assemblages showed rapid recovery (within 1 yr) to their original assemblage composition and abundance following declines. The changes were attributed to natural biological variation or a short-term impact, rather than any response to prolonged environmental change and there was no correlation between any of the changes in assemblages observed and the environmen- tal variables measured. A comparison of morphological and species data enabled the same sponge assemblages to be identified at different sites, validating the method. This morphological approach to monitoring represents a cost-effective and realistic way of monitoring certain sponge assemblages.

A total of 30 species belonging to 21 families were found, of which four species (Ascandra contorta, Paraleucilla magna, Raspailia (Parasyringella) agnata and Polymastia penicillus) are new records for the eastern Mediterranean, while six species [A. contorta, P. magna, Chalinula renieroides, P. penicillus, R. (P.) agnata and Spongia (Spongia) nitens] are new records for the marine fauna of Turkey and 12 species are new records for the Sea of Marmara. Sponge specimens were generally collected in shallow water, but two species (Thenea muricata and Rhizaxinella elongata) were found at depths deeper than 100 m. One alien species (P. magna) was found at 10 m depth at station K18 (Büyükada). The morphological and distributional features of the species that are new to the Turkish marine fauna are presented.

The study embraces all known species of Proteleia, Sphaerotylus, Trachyteleia and Tylexocladus as well as several species of Polymastia. A new genus, Koltunia, is established for the Antarctic species Proteleia burtoni based on the unique shape of distal ornamentations of its giant exotyles and on the absence of a spicule palisade in its cortex, a rare feature among the polymastiids. Three new species of Sphaerotylus are described – S. renoufi from the British Isles, S. strobilis from South Africa and S. tjalfei from West Greenland. Transfer of one New Zealand species from Polymastia to Proteleia and of one Chilean species from Polymastia to Sphaerotylus is proposed.

    Seasearch Wales 2012 Summary Report report prepared by Kate Lock, South and West Wales coco----ordinatorordinator Liz MorMorris,ris, North Wales coco----ordinatorordinator Chris Wood, National coco----ordinatorordinator Seasearch Wales 2012 Seasearch is a volunteer marine habitat and species surveying scheme for recreational divers in Britain and Ireland. It is coordinated by the Marine Conservation Society. This report summarises the Seasearch activity in Wales in 2012. It includes summaries of the sites surveyed and identifies rare or unusual species and habitats encountered. These include a number of Welsh Biodiversity Action Plan habitats and species. It does not include all of the detailed data as this has been entered into the Marine Recorder database and supplied to Natural Resources Wales for use in its marine conservation activities. The data is also available on-line through the National Biodiversity Network. During 2012 we continued to focus on Biodiversity Action Plan species and habitats and on sites that had not been previously surveyed. Data from Wales in 2012 comprised 192 Observation Forms, 154 Survey Forms and 1 sea fan record. The total of 347 represents 19% of the data for the whole of Britain and Ireland. Seasearch in Wales is delivered by two Seasearch regional coordinators. Kate Lock coordinates the South and West Wales region which extends from the Severn estuary to Aberystwyth. Liz Morris coordinates the North Wales region which extends from Aberystwyth to the Dee. The two coordinators are assisted by a number of active Seasearch Tutors, Assistant Tutors and Dive Organisers. Overall guidance and support is provided by the National Seasearch Coordinator, Chris Wood.

Received: 22 September 2011; in revised form: 9 November 2011 / Accepted: 11 November 2011 / Published: 21 November 2011 Abstract: Porifera have long been a reservoir for the discovery of bioactive compounds and drug discovery. Most research in the area has focused on sponges from tropical and temperate waters, but more recently the focus has shifted to the less accessible colder waters of the Antarctic and, to a lesser extent, the Arctic. The Antarctic region in particular has been a more popular location for natural products discovery and has provided promising candidates for drug development. This article reviews groups of bioactive compounds that have been isolated and reported from the southern reaches of the Arctic Circle, surveys the known sponge diversity present in the Arctic waters, and details a recent sponge collection by our group in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska.

One species, Polymastia andrica, is new to the Nordic Seas and two species, Polymastia cf. bartletti and P. penicillus, are new to the Scandinavian Coast. Distribution of the polymastiids in the North Atlantic and Arctic is discussed

    Seasearch South and West Wales 2019 Summary Report Blaise Bullimore Report prepared by Kate Lock, South and West Wales Co-ordinator 1 Seasearch De a Gorllewin Cymru 2019 Mae Seasearch yn gynllun cynnal arolygon o gynefinoedd a rhywogaethau morol i wirfoddolwyr sy’n ddeifwyr a snorcelwyr ym Mhrydain ac Iwerddon. Mae'n cael ei gydlynu gan y Gymdeithas Gadwraeth Forol. Mae'r adroddiad hwn yn crynhoi prif ganfyddiadau Seasearch yn ne a gorllewin Cymru yn 2019. Mae'n cynnwys crynodebau o'r safleoedd lle cynhaliwyd arolygon ac yn nodi rhywogaethau a chynefinoedd prin neu anarferol sydd wedi cael eu gweld. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys nifer o gynefinoedd a rhywogaethau â blaenoriaeth yng Nghymru. Nid yw'r adroddiad hwn yn cynnwys yr holl ddata manwl am fod yr wybodaeth hon wedi cael ei mewnbynnu i gronfa ddata'r Cofnodwr Morol a'i rhoi i Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru er mwyn ei defnyddio yn ei weithgareddau cadwraeth forol. Mae data ar y rhywogaethau ar gael ar-lein hefyd drwy’r Rhwydwaith Bioamrywiaeth Cenedlaethol. Yn 2019, gwnaeth Seasearch yng Nghymru barhau i ganolbwyntio ar rywogaethau a chynefinoedd â blaenoriaeth yn ogystal â chasglu gwybodaeth am wely'r môr a bywyd morol mewn safleoedd lle nad oedd arolygon wedi cael eu cynnal cyn hyn. Mae data a gasglwyd o dde a gorllewin Cymru yn 2019 yn cynnwys cyfanswm o 57 o ffurflenni arolygwyr a 42 o ffurflenni gwylwyr, sef cyfanswm o 99 o ffurflenni. Yn 2019, mae’r rhaglen Seasearch yn ne a gorllewin Cymru – ardal sy’n ymestyn o aber afon Hafren i Aberystwyth – wedi cael ei chynnal gan gydlynydd rhanbarthol Seasearch, Kate Lock.

Publication of this fifth volume in the Tranche 2 Action Plan series fulfils the undertaking, given in the Government Response to the UK Biodiversity Action Plan Steering Group Report 1995, to produce maritime action plans covering further coastal and marine habitats and species. The volume includes reprints of the marine and coastal species and habitat action plans originall y published in the Steering Group’s Report, as well as new action plans for 16 species/groups of species and 17 habitats. The reprinted saline lagoon habitat action plan has an additional annex containin g statements on a further eight species whose conservation needs will be considered as part of that plan. Similarly, there are two species statements attached to the mud in deep habitats plan.
