Limpets of the species Patella caerulea were collected between April 2016 and April 2017 from two sites, and two samplings per each site with varying degree of exposure to wave action and anthropogenic pressure, in Eastern Mediterranean (Pagasitikos Gulf, Central Greece). This study addresses a knowledge gap on population characteristics of P. caerulea populations in Eastern Mediterranean, assesses population structure, allometric relationships, and reproductive status. Morphometric characteristics exhibited spatio-temporal variation. Population density was significantly higher at the exposed site. Spatial relationship between members of the population exhibited clumped pattern of dispersion during spring. Broadcast spawning of the population occurred during summer. Seven dominant age groups were identified, with the dominant cohort in the third-year

Patellid Limpets: an Overview of the Biology and Conservation of Keystone Species of the Rocky Shores
Chapter 4 Patellid Limpets: An Overview of the Biology and Conservation of Keystone Species of the Rocky Shores Paulo Henriques, João Delgado and Ricardo Sousa Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/67862 Abstract This work reviews a broad spectrum of subjects associated to Patellid limpets’ biology such as growth, reproduction, and recruitment, also the consequences of commercial exploitation on the stocks and the effects of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the biology and populational dynamics of these intertidal grazers. Knowledge of limpets’ biological traits plays an important role in providing proper background for their effective man- agement. This chapter focuses on determining the effect of biotic and abiotic factors that influence these biological characteristics and associated geographical patterns. Human exploitation of limpets is one of the main causes of disturbance in the intertidal ecosys- tem and has occurred since prehistorical times resulting in direct and indirect alterations in the abundance and size structure of the target populations. The implementation of MPAs has been shown to result in greater biomass, abundance, and size of limpets and to counter other negative anthropogenic effects. However, inefficient planning and lack of surveillance hinder the accomplishment of the conservation purpose of MPAs. Inclusive conservation approaches involving all the stakeholders could guarantee future success of conservation strategies and sustainable exploitation. This review also aims to estab- lish how beneficial MPAs are in enhancing recruitment and yield of adjacent exploited populations. Keywords: Patellidae, limpets, fisheries, MPAs, conservation 1.

Use of the Intertidal Zone by Mobile Predators: Influence of Wave Exposure, Tidal Phase and Elevation on Abundance and Diet

Álvares Cabral 69, Lisboa 1269-094, Portugal 5Laboratório Marítimo da Guia, Estrada do Guincho, 2750-374 Cascais, Portugal ABSTRACT: Linkages between predators and their prey across the subtidal-intertidal boundary remain relatively unexplored. The influence of tidal phase, tidal height and wave exposure on the abundance, population structure and stomach contents of mobile predatory crabs was examined on rocky shores in southwest Britain. Crabs were sampled both during the day and at night using traps deployed at high tide and by direct observation during low tide. Carcinus maenas (L.), Necora puber (L.) and Cancer pagurus (L.) were the most abundant species, being mainly active during nocturnal high tides. C. maenas was the only species that was active during nocturnal low tides, when it was observed mainly on the lower shore feeding on limpets. Individuals of all 3 species sampled during high tide were considerably larger than those sampled during low tide. Thus, sampling crab popula- tions at low tide is likely to underestimate abundance and the extent of predation by crabs on rocky- shore assemblages.

Biological manifestation of such changes in climate may be determined by examination of shifts in species distribution and performance traits.

P Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] The predatory e¡ects of Pachygrapsus marmoratus on populations of the intertidal limpet Patella depressa were analysed on rocky shores located on the central coast of Portugal. Nocturnal observations on crab feeding behaviour were conducted and experimental exclusion cages were set in the substratum to assess density e¡ects on limpets. The results indicated that although crabs feed on adult limpets the predatory level was minimal. Crabs used consistent tactics to detach limpets from the substratum but the majority of the attacks were unsuccessful, possibly due to morphological and behavioural adaptations of limpets. An alternative recruitment hypothesis is advanced to explain non-signi¢cant di¡erences between experimental treatments and a possible predatory role on shaping levels of recruitment on lower levels of the shore is considered. INTRODUCTION amplitude varies around 3 m. Both shores are composed of limestone rocks with a moderate slope and the sites are Predation has been viewed as a primary biotic factor exposed to wave action.

The Population Dynamics of Patella Vulgata and Other Limpets. Thesis Presented for the Degree of Ph.D. in the University of Lond
The population dynamics of Patella vulgata and other limpets. Thesis presented for the Degree of Ph.D. in the University of London by illiam James Bal antine (Queen Mary College). 2 Abstract Useful generalisations can be made about limpet popula- tions in much the same way as they can about individual animals. These generalisations can be expressed quantitatively and formed into a framework of population dynamics. In Patella vulgata populations a greater mean size (defined as the 50% accumulative weight size) indicates Ci) a faster growth rate, (ii) a larger maximum size, (iii) an increase4 mortality rate, (iv) decreased mean and maximum life spans, Cv) an increased settlement rate, (vi) an earlier and more rapid seasonal maturation of the gonad, (vii) a larger number of eggs produced per female and per unit weight, (viii) a lower radula ratio and a flatter shell at the mean size, than would be found in a population with a smaller mean size. The timing of sexual maturity and of sex change is independent of these correlated features of population dynamics. The correlations were established by the detailed study of four populations at Mount Batten, Plymouth; and verified by experi- mental alteration of the population structure and a survey of Patella on all types of shore. The range of Patella vulgata in S.W. Britain is limited at the top of the shore principally by desiccation. The penetration of sheltered conditions is determined by interaction between the fucoids and the limpets, On exposed shores, the lower limit is determined by competition between P. vulgata and P.

The Character and Status of Rocky Shore Communities At
Journal of the Lundy Field Society, 5, 2016 THE CHARACTER AND STATUS OF ROCKY SHORE COMMUNITIES AT LUNDY: HISTORIC AND RECENT SURVEYS by KEITH HISCOCK1 AND JULIET BRODIE2 1 Marine Biological Association, The Laboratory, Plymouth, PL1 2PB 2Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD 1 Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A study of species on some Lundy shores was made by ten marine ecologists in August-September 2008 with subsequent surveys and observations up until 2015. Comparisons were made with site-specific species lists made by L.A. Harvey from the late 1940s and obtained in 2009. Species numbers and identity were similar between 2008 and 2015 to those in the late 1940s. The few notable differences can largely be attributed to serendipitous finds of normally subtidal species and specialist taxonomic knowledge of some personnel. Taxa associated with turfs of coralline algae seemed slightly less rich but broadly similar after 60 years. Keywords: Lundy, rocky shores, Harvey, species records, coralline turfs INTRODUCTION Changes in the flora and fauna of north-east Atlantic shores are expected as a result of rising temperatures (see, for example, Hiscock et al. 2004) and the arrival of non-native species (see, for example, Minchin et al. 2013). However, reliable survey data from locations that can be resurveyed are frequently lacking. In the case of rocky shores at Lundy, the existence of detailed field notes from the late 1940s and 1950 makes a comparison with recent years possible. An account of the species found on certain rocky shores at Lundy compared to some of the observations of Leslie and Clare Harvey in the late 1940s and early 1950s was given in Hiscock (2008) and the current paper should be read in combination with that earlier one.
