The presence of a developed byssus was also detected in some specimens of V. antiquata. A classification scale of this malformation, established depending on the degree of this anomaly, showed six initial types that evolve to form two or three feet, at the posterior and/or anterior sides of the animal. In order to determine the causes of this malformation, experiments of transplantation were carried out. Specimens of V. verrucosa collected from Zarzouna station were transplanted in Chaâra station which is characterized by low rate of malformations, low hydrodynamics and different sediment type and vice versa. Results revealed that foot malformations degree is highly correlated with both hydrodynamics and substrate type.

  • Annotated Bibliography of Fishing Impacts on Habitat - September 2003 Update
    ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FISHING IMPACTS ON HABITAT - SEPTEMBER 2003 UPDATE Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission SEPTEMBER 2003 GSMFC No.: 115 Annotated Bibliography of Fishing Impacts on Habitat - September 2003 Update Edited by Jeffrey K. Rester Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission September 2003 Introduction This is the third in a series of updates to the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission’s Annotated Bibliography of Fishing Impacts on Habitat originally produced in February 2000. The Commission’s Habitat Subcommittee felt that the gathering of pertinent literature should continue. The third update contains 52 new articles since the publication of the last update. The update uses the same criteria that the original bibliography and first and second updates used to compile articles. It attempts to compile a listing of papers and reports that address the many effects and impacts that fishing can have on habitat and the marine environment. The bibliography is not limited to scientific literature only. It includes technical reports, state and federal agency reports, college theses, conference and meeting proceedings, popular articles, and other forms of nonscientific literature. This was done in an attempt to gather as much information on fishing impacts as possible. Researchers will be able to decide for themselves whether they feel the included information is valuable. Fishing, both recreational and commercial, can have many varying impacts on habitat and the marine environment. Whether a fisher prop scars seagrass, drops an anchor on a coral reef, or drags a trawl across the bottom, each act can alter habitat and affect fish populations.

This process aims to achieve the Good Environmental Status (GES) through the elaborated 11 Ecological Objectives and their respective common indicators. Since 2008, Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention have adopted the EcAp and agreed on a roadmap for its implementation. First phases of the EcAp process led to the accomplishment of 5 steps of the scheduled 7-steps process such as: 1) Definition of an Ecological Vision for the Mediterranean; 2) Setting common Mediterranean strategic goals; 3) Identification of an important ecosystem properties and assessment of ecological status and pressures; 4) Development of a set of ecological objectives corresponding to the Vision and strategic goals; and 5) Derivation of operational objectives with indicators and target levels.

Eight species are recorded for the first time; 3 species were mentioned by name only (but not discussed) in the article by Barash & Danin (1982: 107) and 18 species have been dealt with in articles on individual Indo-Pacific immigrants. Along with the 29 species not yet discussed in earher reports, 4 species, which have been treated pre- viously are included in this paper for supplementary data (see general remarks, p. 130ff.). This report is based on material obtained from various sources, as follows: A great deal of dredging was carried out during 1974-1977 by the late Prof. Ch. Lewinsohn (Tel Aviv University) and his assistants M. Tom and B. Galil. They worked in the infralittoral zone in north and south Israel and opposite the Mediterranean coast of north Sinai. Among the material coUected by them the nudibranch Plocamopherus ocellatus is noteworthy because of its power of luminescence (O'Do- NOGHUE 1929: 808).

ITS of ribosomal DNA can be utilised for delineating evolu- tionary and genetic relationships between closely related taxa. ITS region of Paphia malabarica belonging to subfamily Tapetinae and Meretrix casta belonging to meretricinae was sequenced. Total genomic DNA was extracted from the adductor muscle using CTAB protocol and the internal transcribed spacer region of nuclear ribosomal DNA was PCR amplified and sequenced using ITS (ITS1 and ITS2) forward and re- verse primers. Total length of sequence was found to be 895 bp in Paphia malabarica and 785 bp in Meretrix casta. GC contents in the se- quences were found to be 58.99% and 64.68% respectively in Paphia malabarica and Meretrix casta. ITS1 region of Paphia malabarica con- sisted of 393 bp with GC content 58.12% and 309 bp with 63.75% GC content in Meretrix casta.
