After graduation she joined REEF to partici- pate in the fall marine conservation internship and was soon converted to a fish geek for life. Upon completing the internship she joined the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute’s (FWRI) Marathon lab as a biologist and fisheries dependant monitoring (FDM) program coor- dinator. She continued working for FWRI on FDM projects up until she accepted a graduate research assistantship in fall of 2008 to work towards a Masters of Science degree in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences at the University of Florida (UF). While at UF, Alecia gained a broad range of experience through her involvement in lionfish, spiny lobster, and gag grouper ecological research, as well as coral reef and coastal water quality monitoring projects. She is currently finishing up her thesis research on hogfish in the Florida Keys and has been working full time as Field Operations and Outreach Coordinator for the Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) since May 2010. At REEF Alecia focuses on lionfish outreach, control, and research projects which include planning and organizing lionfish derbies in Florida and the Bahamas. Additionally she is now the director of the marine conservation internship program at REEF and works with other staff members on the fish survey project; REEF’s cornerstone program which, through citizen science, enlists recreational divers to collect important fish species and abundance data. Alecia Adamson Field Operations and Outreach Coordinator Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) 98300 Overseas Hwy Key Largo, FL 33037 (305) 852-0030 (office) (305) 509- 1630 (cell) The Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), a marine conservation non-for-profit organization, has been leading numerous lionfish outreach and control efforts and involved in a number of important lionfish research projects. Red Lionfish Pterois( volitans/miles) is an Indo-Pacific fish that has become established through coastal areas of the SE United States, as well as throughout the majority of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. Alecia Adamson will be giving a talk on the history of the lionfish invasion, lionfish biology and ecology, and the threats lionfish are posing to Atlantic fish and marine habitats. Addi- tionally she will discuss some of the results of research proj- ects REEF has been involved with that address lionfish life history and impacts on reef systems. Additionally Alecia will touch upon some of REEF’s suc- cessful lionfish education, outreach and control programs that REEF has implemented in the Bahamas, Florida, and in various areas of the Caribbean. 3 2011 FL Keys Lionfish Derby Prizes- PRIZES GIVEN TO TOP 3 TEAMS IN EACH CATEGORY: •MOST LIONFISH: $1,000 cash, $500 cash, $250 Divers Direct Gift Certificate •BIGGEST LIONFISH: $500 cash, $200 cash, $100 Divers Direct Gift Certificate •SMALLEST LIONFISH: $500 cash, $200 cash, $100 Divers Direct Gift Certificate Click here to Register 2011 INTRA-CLUB PHOTO CONTEST SUBJECTS M A S T E R S 2 0 1 1 C H A L L E N G E R S 2 0 1 1 MAY Upside Down - shot of an animal in an upside down Wide Angle Wrecks - Wide angle view of any position.

  • INDEPENDENT STUDY: Module 2, Class 25
    INDEPENDENT STUDY: Module 2, Class 25 Please note: The pictures and comments in the transcript and recording below have been gathered over many years and where possible, I attribute them to their original source. If anyone connected with these photographs or comments would like them removed, please notify me and I will be happy to comply. The recording for Class 25 is 36 minutes. Class 25: Shell #s: 60, 22 I think by now you have no doubt of the diversity among our mollusk friends. One of the most dramatic examples of this is the contrast between the vampires and the heroes. First, let me introduce the vampires. I would like you to meet the Maculated Dwarf Triton. It is much smaller than its relative, the Pacific Trumpet Triton that we met in class #14 on shells and religion. If you recall, the Trumpet Triton was large enough to be employed as a trumpet for Shinto priests to call people in to pray. To understand why I label the Dwarf Triton a vampire, a picture is worth 1,000 words. Or should I say, two pictures. The first shows a sleeping Parrot fish with a Dwarf Triton nearby. If you look very closely, there is a fine line leading from the Dwarf Triton to the fish. That tiny line is the triton’s proboscis…or mouth. In our lesson on Cone Shells, do you remember the radula with single file poisonous harpoon-like “teeth” to paralyze prey? The radula ribbon is contained inside the proboscis. In the case of the Dwarf Triton, they possess a scalpel adaptation and anesthetizing chemicals allowing the proboscis to be inserted directly into the sleeping fish.

Abstract A new genus of the subfamily Pontoniinae, Ancylomenes gen. nov. is established for the ‘Periclimenes aesopius species group’ of the genus Periclimenes Costa. The new genus is distinguished from other genera of Pontoniinae on account of the strongly produced inferior orbital margin with reflected inner flange, and the basicerite of the antenna armed with an angular dorsal process. Fourteen species have been previously recognized as belonging to the ‘P. aesopius species group’. One Eastern Pacific species (P. lucasi Chace), and two Atlantic species (P. anthophilus Holthuis & Eibl- Eibesfeldt, and P. pedersoni Chace) are now also placed in Ancylomenes gen. nov. A further new species associated with a cerianthid sea anemone, A. luteomaculatus sp. nov. is described and illustrated on the basis of specimens from the Ryukyu Islands, southern Japan, and Philippines. A key for their identification, and a checklist of the species of Ancylomenes gen.

KUITER Ichthyology, Museum Victoria, Melbourne Victoria 3001, Australia [email protected] · [email protected] ABSTRACT. A new species of seahorse, Hippocampus colemani, is described from Lord Howe Island off eastern Australia. It can be distinguished from congeners by the following combined features: very small size (to about 23 mm in height), very deep trunk (about 60% in its length), low number of tail rings (27–29) and most distinctly, a single gill opening, placed dorsally behind the head. KUITER, RUDIE H., 2003. A new pygmy seahorse (Pisces: Syngnathidae: Hippocampus) from Lord Howe Island. Records of the Australian Museum 55(2): 113–116. Seahorses are currently placed in a single genus: further away from the body axis compared to the female. Hippocampus (family Syngnathidae).

This is applicable to pygmy seahorses and reaching less than 50 mm height. The two are collectively sex can be determined by the posterior reach of their trunk known as pygmy seahorses. These tiny species usually and pouch combined in relation to the horizontal level occur at depths of 30 m or more, but a third pygmy species with the dorsal-fin base, especially when working with was discovered at a depth of only 5 m in the lagoon at Lord photographs.

Notobryon wardi Odhner, 1936, has been reported to occur in tropical oceans from the Indo-Pacific and eastern Pacific to temperate South Africa. The systematics of Notobryon has not been reviewed using modern systematic tools. Here, specimens of Notobryon were examined from the eastern Pacific, the Indo-Pacific, and from temperate South Africa. Additionally, representatives of Scyllaea and Crosslandia were studied. Scyllaeidae was found to be monophyletic. Notobryon was also found to be monophyletic and is the sister group to Crosslandia plus Scyllaea. The molecular data also clearly indicate that within Notobryon, at least three distinct species are present, two of which are here described. Genetic distance data indicate that eastern Pacific and South African exemplars are 10–23% divergent from Indo-Pacific exemplars of Notobryon wardi.
