  • Contrasting Patterns of Population Structure and Gene Flow Facilitate
    OPEN Heredity (2017) 119, 35–48 Official journal of the Genetics Society www.nature.com/hdy ORIGINAL ARTICLE Contrasting patterns of population structure and gene flow facilitate exploration of connectivity in two widely distributed temperate octocorals LP Holland1, TL Jenkins1 and JR Stevens Connectivity is an important component of metapopulation dynamics in marine systems and can influence population persistence, migration rates and conservation decisions associated with Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). In this study, we compared the genetic diversity, gene flow and population structure of two octocoral species, Eunicella verrucosa and Alcyonium digitatum, in the northeast Atlantic (ranging from the northwest of Ireland and the southern North Sea, to southern Portugal), using two panels of 13 and 8 microsatellite loci, respectively. Our results identified regional genetic structure in E. verrucosa partitioned between populations from southern Portugal, northwest Ireland and Britain/France; subsequent hierarchical analysis of population structure also indicated reduced gene flow between southwest Britain and northwest France. However, over a similar geographical area, A. digitatum showed little evidence of population structure, suggesting high gene flow and/or a large effective population size; indeed, the only significant genetic differentiation detected in A. digitatum occurred between North Sea samples and those from the English Channel/northeast Atlantic. In both species the vast majority of gene flow originated from sample sites within regions, with populations in southwest Britain being the predominant source of contemporary exogenous genetic variants for the populations studied. Overall, historical patterns of gene flow appeared more complex, though again southwest Britain appeared to be an important source of genetic variation for both species.

  • Presence of European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus Labrax) and Other Species in Proposed Bass Nursery Areas
    Presence of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and other species in proposed bass nursery areas Author(s): Kieran Hyder, Callum Scougal, Elena Couce, Lenka Fronkova, Adam Waugh, Mary Brown, Lucille Paltriguera, Lisa Readdy, Bryony Townhill, and Mike Armstrong Date: 27 April 2018 © Crown copyright 2020 This information is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. To view this licence, visit This publication is available at www.gov.uk/government/publications www.cefas.co.uk 1 Executive summary Juvenile sea bass occupy nursery grounds in estuaries and coastal areas for up to their first six years of life during which time they are subject to being bycatch in fisheries. Bass Nursery Areas (BNAs) were designated in England and Wales in the 1990s to reduce the impact of commercial and recreational fishing in areas where the majority of sea bass were likely to be below the minimum conservation reference size (MCRS – formerly, minimum landing size (MLS)) established in UK and EU legislation. In total, 37 estuaries and other coastal sites were designated as BNAs and additional restrictions on commercial and recreational fishing were imposed. These are thought to have played an important role in protecting the stock, possibly generating changes in size distribution, increased juvenile survival, and improvements in the productivity of the stock. In 2015, Defra assessed the need for changes to existing BNAs and new designations. A questionnaire was sent to the nine mainland Inshore and Fisheries Conservation Authorities (IFCAs) and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) requesting information to support the review of BNAs. Responses were received from eight IFCAs and the MMO, that included 48 proposed amendments to the existing BNA legislation (39 new site designations, five changes of extent, and four no longer required).

  • Wreck of the Emgrant Barque the John 1855
    SUPPLEMENT TO THE “ROYAL CORNWALL GAZETTE” NEWSPAPER TRURO, FRIDAY MAY 11, 1855 WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP on the MANACLES ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ A HUNDRED AND NINETY‐SIX LIVES LOST! It is our melancholy task to describe the most dreadful shipwreck which has occurred on the Coast of Cornwall within the present century; equalled in loss of life by only two similar catastrophes, and far more distressing than either of these, in that the ship was sacrificed under circumstances which admit of no explanation or excuse, and a large proportion of the sufferers were neighbours, whose loss carries mourning into almost all parts of this and the neighbouring County. The Manacles reef, where this calamitous event occurred, is a bed of rocks about two miles wide, and extending from a mile and quarter to a mile and a half from the shore. It is formed by a large dyke of greenstone which crosses St. Keverne, giving it the fertility for which the parish is distinguished, and which prevails wherever this rock is found, and marked in its course by boulders on the surface. It slopes to the sea, forming a shore everywhere more or less accessible and very different indeed from the bold cliffs which form so large a part of our coast. The steep slopes are thickly covered with boulders, and occasionally the rock shoots up in abrupt crags. The portion of this great dyke which extends under the sea is very uneven, everywhere rising in rocks, of which a very few are always exposed, many are visible only at low water, and the greater number are always covered.

    Se a se a r ch surveys wit hin and adjacent to the Manacles Marine Conservation Zone 2001-2015 Ch r i s Wood 50 ACKN OWLEDGEMENTS Se a se a r ch would like to thank all of the volunteer divers over the years who have contributed to the records made in the Manacles area. Many of them have been individuals but organised dives have also been carried out organised by t he Marine Conservation Society and Cornwall Wildlife Trust. Many of the dives have been from local boats and we thank both Dive Action and Porthkerris Dive Centre for taking us to the sites surveyed. In 2015 all of the boat surveys were organised by Porthkerris Dives Centre and we would like to thank Mike and Jo Anselmi for their valuable support for these surveys. Almost all of the records made were by Seasearch volunteers. However the Wildlife Trusts organised one day of diving using a professional (but Seasearch t rained) team and we thank them for access to their records. Dr Matthew Witt, Environment and Sustainabilit y Institute, Universit y of Exeter, produced the maps throughout this report. We would like to thank those who have contributed photographs or t his report. They are Mark Webster, Tony Sutton, Sally Sharrock and Porthkerris Dive Centre. Other photographs are by the author. Fi nal l y t he aut hor w ould like to thank Dr Charlotte Bolton (Seasearch), Dr Jean-Luc Solandt (Marine Co n se r vation Society), Dr Matthew Witt (Exeter Universit y) and M ike Anselmi (Porthkerris Dive Centre) for their reading of and contributions to this report.
