There is increasing interest in macroalgae farming in European waters for a range of applications, including food, chemical extraction and as biofuels. This study uses a 3D numerical model of hydrodynamics and biogeochemistry to 15 investigate potential production and environmental effects of macroalgae farming in UK and Dutch coastal waters. The model included four experimental farms in different coastal settings in Strangford Lough (Northern Ireland), in Sound of Kerrera and Lynn of Lorne (northwest Scotland), and in the Rhine Plume (The Netherlands), as well as a hypothetical large- scale farm off the UK north Norfolk coast. -

And Red Sea Urchins
NEGATIVELY CORRELATED ABUNDANCE SUGGESTS COMPETITION BETWEEN RED ABALONE (Haliotis rufescens) AND RED SEA URCHINS (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ESTABLISHED MPAs CLOSED TO COMMERCIAL SEA URCHIN HARVEST IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA By Johnathan Centoni A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Biology Committee Membership Dr. Sean Craig, Committee Chair Dr. Brian Tissot, Committee Member Dr. Paul Bourdeau, Committee Member Dr. Joe Tyburczy, Committee Member Dr. Erik Jules, Program Graduate Coordinator May 2018 ABSTRACT NEGATIVELY CORRELATED ABUNDANCE SUGGESTS COMPETITION BETWEEN RED ABALONE (Haliotis rufescens) AND RED SEA URCHINS (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ESTABLISHED MPAs CLOSED TO COMMERCIAL SEA URCHIN HARVEST IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Johnathan Centoni Red abalone and sea urchins are both important herbivores that potentially compete with each other for resources like food and space along the California coast. Red abalone supported a socioeconomically important recreational fishery during this study (which was closed in 2018) and red sea urchins support an important commercial fishery. Both red sea urchins and red abalone feed on the same macroalgae (including Pterygophora californica, Laminaria setchellii, Stephanocystis osmundacea, Costaria costata, Alaria marginata, Nereocystis leutkeana), and a low abundance of this food source during the period of this project may have created a highly competitive environment for urchins and abalone. Evidence that suggests competition between red abalone and red sea urchins can be seen within data collected during the years of this study (2014-2016): a significantly higher red sea urchin density, concomitant with a significantly lower red abalone density, was observed within areas closed to commercial sea urchin harvest (in MPAs) compared to nearby reference areas open to sea urchin harvest. -

From the beginning I had an interest to work aboard with macroalgae, after talking with prof. Isabel Sousa Pinto about this interest, she immediately suggested me a few places that I could look over. One of the suggestions was SINTEF ocean where I got to know Jorunn Skjermo. The door to Jorunn’s office was always open whenever I ran into a trouble spot or had a question about my research. She consistently allowed this study to be my own work, but steered me in the right the direction whenever she thought I needed it. Thank you!! I want to thank Isabel Azevedo, Silje Forbord and Kristine Steinhovden for all the guidance provided in the beginning and until the end of my internship. I would also like to thank the experts who were involved in the different subjects of my research project: Arne Malzahn, Torfinn Solvang-Garten, Trond Storseth and to the amazing team of SINTEF ocean. I also want to thank my master’s director professor Paula Melo, who was a relentless person from the first day, always taking care of her “little F1 plants”. A huge thanks to my fellows Mónica Costa, Fernando Pagels and Leonor Martins for all the days and nights that we spent working and studying hard. -

Changes in Subtidal Community Structure Associated with British Columbia Sea Otter Transplants*
Vol. 7: 13-20, 1982 MARINE ECOLOGY - PROGRESS SERIES Published January 1 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Changes in Subtidal Community Structure Associated with British Columbia Sea Otter Transplants* Paul A. Breenl, Trudy A. Carson2,J. Bristol ~oste9and E. Anne Stewart3 ' Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Resource Services Branch, Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo. Brltish Columbia V9R SK6, Canada Ecological Reserves Unit, Ministry of Lands, Parks & Housing. Victoria, British Columbia. Canada Box 26, Bamfield, British Columbia, Canada ABSTRACT: Sea otters Enhydra Iutris were re-introduced into coastal waters of British Columbia, Canada, in 1969-1972, after being hunted to extinction In the previous 2 centuries. In 1979, we visited an area where 55 individuals had been seen in 1978, and we made subtidal observations of the abundance and distribution of red sea urchins, other grazers, and kelps. Earlier observations, made in the area before sea otters were re-introduced, confirmed that changes have taken place in subtidal communities since the re-introduction. Where sea otters had been observed feeding, sea urchins Strongylocentrotus franciscanus were scarce and restricted to crevices or beneath boulders, other grazers were scarce, and kelps colonized the bottom to 10-m depths. The algal communities in these areas appeared to be simple downward extensions of sublittoral fringe communities. Where sea otters had not fed, kelps were limited to shallow water by abundant sea urchins. The observed differences between the 2 types of areas are concluded to have been caused by early ellmlnation of sea urchins by sea otters, as reported in Alaska and California. From the pattern of sea urchin abundance in the general area of the transplant, we were able to delineate the feeding range of this small population of sea otters. -
Kelp Aquaculture
Aquaculture in Shared Waters Kelp Aquaculture Sarah Redmond1 ; Samuel Belknap2 ; Rebecca Clark Uchenna3 “Kelp” are large brown marine macroalgae species native to New England and traditionally wild harvested for food. There are three commercially important kelp species in Maine—sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima), winged kelp (Alaria esculenta), and horsetail kelp (Laminaria digitata). Maine is developing techniques for culturing kelp on sea farms as a way for fishermen and farmers to diversify their operations while providing a unique, high quality, nutritious vegetable seafood for new and existing markets. Kelp is grown on submerged horizontal long lines on leased sea farms from September to May, making it a “winter crop” for Maine. The simple farm design, winter season, and relatively low startup costs allow for new and existing sea farmers to experiment with this newly developing type of aquaculture on Maine’s coast. “Kelp” can refer to sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima), Alaria (Alaria esculenta), or horsetail kelp (Laminaria digitata). Sugar kelp has been cultivated in Maine for several years, and successful experimental cultivation has been done with species such as Alaria. These photos are examples of the cultivation stages of sugar kelp.

M. Walls1,*, M. D. Edwards1, L. B. Firth2, M. P. Johnson1 1Irish Seaweed Research Group, Ryan Institute, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland 2School of Geography, Earth & Environmental Science, Plymouth University, Drake Circus, Plymouth PL4 8AA, UK ABSTRACT: There has been an increase in commercial-scale kelp cultivation in Europe, with fouling of cultivated kelp fronds presenting a major challenge to the growth and development of the industry. The presence of epibionts decreases productivity and impacts the commercial value of the crop. Several abiotic and biotic factors may influence the occurrence and degree of fouling of wild and cultivated fronds. Using a commercial kelp farm on the SW coast of Ireland, we studied the development of fouling communities on cultivated Alaria esculenta fronds over 2 typical grow- ing seasons. The predictability of community development was assessed by comparing mean occurrence-day. Hypotheses that depth, kelp biomass, position within the farm and the hydrody- namic environment affect the fouling communities were tested using species richness and com- munity composition. Artificial kelp mimics were used to test whether local frond density could affect the fouling communities. Species richness increased over time during both years, and spe- cies composition was consistent over years with early successional communities converging into later communities (no significant differences between June 2014 and June 2015 communities, ANOSIM; R = −0.184, p > 0.05). -
