Australia ABSTRACT: Vertically stratified sampling was undertaken for pre-settlement Kng George whiting Sil- laglnodespunctata at 1 site in 1995 and 4 sites in 1996, in Port Phillip Bay, Australia. In 1995, 3 depth strata were sampled: surface, 2.5-3.0 m, and 5.0-5.5 m, in a total water depth of 7 to 8 m. Samphng was conducted on 17 dates and encon~passedall combinations of day and night, and ebb and flood tide. A total of 3, or in one case 4, replicate samples were taken at each depth. On 4 occasions a smaller zoo- plankton net was deployed at the same time as the ichthyoplankton net. Pre-settlement S. punctata showed 'reverse' &urnal vertical migration, with concentration near the surface during the day and dif- fusion through the water column at night. A much weaker tidal migration was also detected, with lar- vae slightly higher in the water column on flood tides. Pre-settlement S. punctata only fed in daylight and zooplankton taxa that were eaten did not show vertical stratification during daytime. In 1996. 4 sites were sampled at a minimum of 10 m depth, and an additional depth stratum, 7.5-8.0 m, was sam- pled.

INTRODUCTION The investigation of fish fauna and flora of the Red Sea has attracted the attention of scientists for very long time. The fish fauna received the greatest attention since the Swedish naturalist Peter Forsskal (1761-1762). Many efforts have been done to study and explore fish community structure in the area since the early staff of the Marine Biological Station in Hurghada. Gohar (1948,) and Gohar and Latif (1959), and Gohar and Mazhar (1964) have made extensive studies on the adult fish community in front of the station.

  • Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans
    Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans by Robert George Young A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robert George Young, March, 2016 ABSTRACT MOLECULAR SPECIES DELIMITATION AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF CANADIAN MARINE PLANKTONIC CRUSTACEANS Robert George Young Advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Dr. Sarah Adamowicz Dr. Cathryn Abbott Zooplankton are a major component of the marine environment in both diversity and biomass and are a crucial source of nutrients for organisms at higher trophic levels. Unfortunately, marine zooplankton biodiversity is not well known because of difficult morphological identifications and lack of taxonomic experts for many groups. In addition, the large taxonomic diversity present in plankton and low sampling coverage pose challenges in obtaining a better understanding of true zooplankton diversity. Molecular identification tools, like DNA barcoding, have been successfully used to identify marine planktonic specimens to a species. However, the behaviour of methods for specimen identification and species delimitation remain untested for taxonomically diverse and widely-distributed marine zooplanktonic groups. Using Canadian marine planktonic crustacean collections, I generated a multi-gene data set including COI-5P and 18S-V4 molecular markers of morphologically-identified Copepoda and Thecostraca (Multicrustacea: Hexanauplia) species. I used this data set to assess generalities in the genetic divergence patterns and to determine if a barcode gap exists separating interspecific and intraspecific molecular divergences, which can reliably delimit specimens into species. I then used this information to evaluate the North Pacific, Arctic, and North Atlantic biogeography of marine Calanoida (Hexanauplia: Copepoda) plankton.

  • Observing Copepods Through a Genomic Lens James E Bron1*, Dagmar Frisch2, Erica Goetze3, Stewart C Johnson4, Carol Eunmi Lee5 and Grace a Wyngaard6
    Bron et al. Frontiers in Zoology 2011, 8:22 http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/8/1/22 DEBATE Open Access Observing copepods through a genomic lens James E Bron1*, Dagmar Frisch2, Erica Goetze3, Stewart C Johnson4, Carol Eunmi Lee5 and Grace A Wyngaard6 Abstract Background: Copepods outnumber every other multicellular animal group. They are critical components of the world’s freshwater and marine ecosystems, sensitive indicators of local and global climate change, key ecosystem service providers, parasites and predators of economically important aquatic animals and potential vectors of waterborne disease. Copepods sustain the world fisheries that nourish and support human populations. Although genomic tools have transformed many areas of biological and biomedical research, their power to elucidate aspects of the biology, behavior and ecology of copepods has only recently begun to be exploited. Discussion: The extraordinary biological and ecological diversity of the subclass Copepoda provides both unique advantages for addressing key problems in aquatic systems and formidable challenges for developing a focused genomics strategy. This article provides an overview of genomic studies of copepods and discusses strategies for using genomics tools to address key questions at levels extending from individuals to ecosystems. Genomics can, for instance, help to decipher patterns of genome evolution such as those that occur during transitions from free living to symbiotic and parasitic lifestyles and can assist in the identification of genetic mechanisms and accompanying physiological changes associated with adaptation to new or physiologically challenging environments. The adaptive significance of the diversity in genome size and unique mechanisms of genome reorganization during development could similarly be explored.

PRB-08-09-12 Contact : [email protected] 2 The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), comprised of St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix, are located on a geological shelf surrounded by an extensive Caribbean tropical marine ecosystem. This ecosystem contains a mosaic of critical habitats that support productive local fisheries. Nearshore “nursery habitats” such as sea grasses, mangroves, and associated coral reefs, provide vital foraging, predator refuge, and spawning habitat for over 400 species of fish found in the Virgin Islands. Red Hind and Grammanik Banks, located 14 km south of St. Thomas, provide habitat for multi-species spawning aggregation sites and a healthy, deep coral reef system (35- 40 m) for economically important coral reef fish including red hind, yellow fin grouper, Nassau grouper, tiger grouper, and dog snapper. Fishing pressure at these suspected sources of larval recruits prompted the Caribbean Fisheries Manage- ment Council to close the Grammanik Bank seasonally from February through April, and GRAMMANIK RED HIND CLOSED CLOSURE designate Red Hind Bank a AREA permanently closed Marine Conservation District (MCD). Banks contiguous with these protected areas provide similar habitats and contain reported spawning aggregation sites. Unfortunately, neither the biological nor the physical processes which drive production on the banks, nor the larval transport pathways connecting the banks, the protected areas, nor the flows across the banks, have been quantified.

  • New Species Described from Specimens Collected As Part of the U.S
    New Species Described from Specimens Collected as Part of the U.S. Program on Biology of the International Indian Ocean Expedition 2 January 2020 Version A list was generated of the species described based on specimens collected as part of the U.S. Program on Biology of the International Indian Ocean Expedition. This list was compiled from a search of publications cited by scientists involved in the U.S. Program on Biology and publications held by the Smithsonian Institution. The list includes holotypes and paratypes used to describe species. The cruise information was checked against the list of known cruises of the R/V Anton Bruun and the R/V Te Vega given by Urban (2019a) and Urban (2019b). New genera and subspecies described are not reported. Each of the species names was checked in the World Register of Marine Species (http://marinespecies.org/) to verify the name and to determine whether the original name is still considered valid. Any changes in the species name are noted in footnotes. This list will be updated if additional species are found.

Four new species of the subgenus Heteromysis (Olivemysis) were detected in material from (sub)-tropical aquaria in six public aquarium institutions around the globe. Modifications of pleopods by spines represent the strongest structural complex used for differentiation within this subgenus: male pleopods 1–4 modified in H. smithsoniana sp. nov., male pleopods 2–4 plus female pleopod 2 in H. hornimani sp. nov. and H. waikikensis sp. nov. Additional important diagnostic characters are provided by the antennulae, uropods, and telson. The male of H. sixi sp. nov. represents a very rare case within the genus Heteromysis by having only pleopod 2 modified by flagellate spines. The definition of the subgenus Olivemysis is modified in order to include H.
