Executive Summary The audit team that will conduct the assessment process against the MSC standard is composed of the following members. On behalf of the accreditation body BUREAU VERITAS CERTIFICATION, as project coordinator Jacobo de Novoa , Director of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Bureau Veritas Agrofood ; Xaviere Lagadec , MSC Technical manager and Macarena García Silva as Technical assistant. The expert team that has been chosen on the basis of their experience in the areas of stock assessment, ecosystem interactions and fishery management, is Miguel José Baptista Gaspar , Principle 1 and 2 assessor, Antonio García Allut as Principle 3 assessor. In 2008 the “Cofradía de Pescadores San Martiño de Bueu” conducted a pre-assessment of the Razor Clam Fishery from Ria de Pontevedra (Galicia-Spain) against the MSC environmental standard for sustainable fishing with the Certification Body OIA. Considering the positive results they decided to start looking for funding to carry out the full assessment procedure. In this case they have chosen BUREAU VERITAS CERTIFICATION (BVC). Public notice regarding the launch of the MSC Certification Program for the razor clam of Bueu was given in September 2011. This was followed by a series of notices posted on the MSC website in order to report all phases that were taking place. First to be published was the tasks schedule, see Preliminary Assessment timeline , and the proposal and subsequent confirmation of the Assessment team . In the next stage of the assessment, Bureau Veritas announced the use of the default assessment tree contained within the MSC Certification Requirements V1.2. issued in January 2012 in the independent assessment of this Fishery. In addition, the need to consider some elements of the assessment under the MSC’s Risk-Based assessment Framework (RBF) , in particular the 1.1.1. stock status and 2.5.1. Ecosystems were identified. To start with the evaluation of the fishery compliance with the International Standard MSC, it was necessary to open an information search process regarding their 3 Principles. During the 10 th week of the year (6 th to 9 th March 2012) the Site Assessment with selected organisations or individuals with a direct interest in this fishery was announced.

  • Morphological Variations of the Shell of the Bivalve Lucina Pectinata
    I S S N 2 3 47-6 8 9 3 Volume 10 Number2 Journal of Advances in Biology Morphological variations of the shell of the bivalve Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) Emma MODESTIN PhD of Biogeography, zoology and Ecology University of the French Antilles, UMR AREA DEV ABSTRACT In Martinique, the species Lucina pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) is called "mud clam, white clam or mangrove clam" by bivalve fishermen depending on the harvesting environment. Indeed, the individuals collected have differences as regards the shape and colour of the shell. The hypothesis is that the shape of the shell of L. pectinata (P. pectinatus) shows significant variations from one population to another. This paper intends to verify this hypothesis by means of a simple morphometric study. The comparison of the shape of the shell of individuals from different populations was done based on samples taken at four different sites. The standard measurements (length (L), width or thickness (E - épaisseur) and height (H)) were taken and the morphometric indices (L/H; L/E; E/H) were established. These indices of shape differ significantly among the various populations. This intraspecific polymorphism of the shape of the shell of P. pectinatus could be related to the nature of the sediment (granulometry, density, hardness) and/or the predation. The shells are significantly more elongated in a loose muddy sediment than in a hard muddy sediment or one rich in clay. They are significantly more convex in brackish environments and this is probably due to the presence of more specialised predators or of more muddy sediments. Keywords Lucina pectinata, bivalve, polymorphism of shape of shell, ecology, mangrove swamp, French Antilles.

Journal ofCoastal Research, 15(4), 1083-1090.Royal Palm Beach .tllllllll:.e • • (Florida),ISSN 0749-0208. ~ _ """'"' 7#" It has been inferred that the rias of Galicia on the passive margin of northwest Spain which trend nearly at right i!!13rf~ &!bJUi angles to the Paleozoic structural grain appear to be the result of erosion along a weathered fault zone. New data a+ from the Ria de Pontevedra appears to verifysuch an origin. The sediment fill in Pontevedra indicates that deposition along the eroded fault zone probably began during the emplacement of the late Pleistocene Sl sequence. Deposition of the Holocene S2 sequence, resting unconformably on Sl, reflects not only the YoungerDryas regression, but also the transgressions prior and subsequent to the YoungerDryas regression. Both the Pleistoceneand Holocene sequenc­ es are disrupted by mud diapirs at the mouth of the Ria de Pontevedra; the Holocene sequence at the mouth on its southeast side also is disrupted by faults which may be due to slope failure. Mobilization of the mud intruding the strata is probablydue to sediment loading.

I invite you to join our on-going study on the behaviour, communication, habitat use and social lives of the amazing bottlenose dolphin and other cetacean species. In the pages that follow, you will find some background information about the BDRI’s work, along with information on how you can be part of it. I’ve always considered very important to provide people with an in-depth, hands-on immersion into the field of marine mammal science and more particularly bottlenose dolphin research. This dream came true, back in 2005, when I founded the BDRI as a small centre for research, conservation and training in bottlenose dolphin ecology and behaviour. The most rewarding part of the idea has been meeting hundreds of people interested not only in seeing dolphins, but also in understanding their life, behaviour and conservation threats. I feel so lucky to be able to share my passion with so many people, first in Sardinia (Italy) and now in Galicia (Spain). I try to make the most of every day and aim to have the biggest contribution in their careers, by providing them a real perspective of marine mammal science and the ability to spread the knowledge about the marine environment.

Abstract Ensis Schumacher, 1817 razor shells occur at both sides of the Atlantic and along the Pacific coasts of tropical west America, Peru, and Chile. Many of them are marketed in various regions. However, the absence of clear autapomorphies in the shell and the sympatric distributions of some species often prevent a correct identification of specimens. As a consequence, populations cannot be properly managed, and edible species are almost always mislabelled along the production chain.
