W. DROOGER In the July issue of The Micropaleontologist, Esteban Boltovskoy raised the question of the species concept and related problems in the study of foramninifera. His article clearly shows the disadvantages of space limitations, as it deals with so many topics that the schematic treatment is sometimes in danger of being misunderstood. Nevertheless, Boltovskoy's article may be very usef'ul for those who ignore the neonto- logical species and subspecies concepts. Some very valuable warnings are given, although their background has to be necessarily very vague. At the risk of being equally terse, I would like to comment on some of the points raised by Boltovskoy. -

Imported Food Risk Statement Bivalve Molluscs and Domoic Acid
Imported food risk statement Bivalve molluscs and domoic acid Commodity: Bivalve Molluscs. This includes whole or portions of bivalve molluscs that are fresh, frozen, dried or canned, such as cockles, clams, mussels, oysters and scallops. The following products are excluded and therefore not covered by this risk statement: cephalopod molluscs (e.g. squid, octopus, cuttlefish) and jelly fish marinara mix. Analyte: Domoic acid (DA) Recommendation and rationale Is DA in bivalve molluscs a medium or high risk to public health: Yes No Uncertain, further scientific assessment required Rationale: Consumption of seafood containing DA has resulted in human poisoning incidents and deaths. DA is a potent neurotoxin that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) within 24-48 hours following ingestion. There is no antidote for ASP. DA is not destroyed by cooking, freezing or other food processing. General description Nature of the analyte: DA is a water-soluble, non-protein amino acid. It is produced by some marine diatoms of the genus Pseudo- nitzschia spp., which are likely to be present to some extent in most coastal marine environments. Isomers of DA are less toxic. Domoic acid is not reliably destroyed by common cooking methods (Vidal et al. 2009) or by autoclaving (McCarron and Hess 2006). Adverse health effects: DA is a potent neurotoxin that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) within 24-48 hours following ingestion. There is no antidote for ASP. Clinical signs of acute DA toxicity (or ASP) are mild gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain) from an oral dose ranging between 0.9 and 2 mg DA/kg bw. -
Miscellaneous Mollusc Resources of Pacific Islands
SPC/lnshore Fish. Res./WP2 29 February 1988 ORIGINAL : ENGLISH ( Noumea, New Caledonia, 14-25 March 1988) HISCELLANEOUS MOLLUSC RESOURCES OF PACIFIC ISLANDS BY Dr A.D. Lewis Introduction l Molluscs (Phylum Molluscs) we a diverse array of "shellfish", which include bivalves (clams, cockles, oysters, mussels - Class Pelecypoda) ,gastropods ( snails, abalone, seahares- Class Gastropods) and cephalopods (squids, octopus, cuttlefish - Class Cephalopoda). These support large marine fisheries, world landings of molluscs exceeding 6 millions tonnes in 1985 (Anon, 1987) and dominated by cephalopods ( 1.67 million mt,), clams, cockles and arkshells ( 1.6 1 million mt.) and oysters ( 1.03 million mt). 2. Previous sessions at the workshop have considered in detail the molluscs of major commercial importance to Pacific Islands. This include molluscs harvested primarily for Industrial purposes (eg. trochus, green snail and pearl shell, for their nacreous shell interiors) as well as those harvested primarily for human consumption (giant clams). 3. There is in addition, however a wide range of molluscs harvested throughout the Pacific Islands for subsistence purposes and in some cases small scale commercial exploitation. Many are gleaned from a variety of inshore habitats, including mud flats, mangrove roots, sandy beaches, reef flats and rubble areas. These molluscs are commonly collected by women, and have traditionally served as important reserve food sources during times of bad weather or poor line fishing. In (tensely populated atolls, they may become a primary fooAsource, Zann ( 1985) noting that in South Tarawa (Kiribati), landings of three lagoon bivalves exceed that of all finfish combined. 4.

Sexual dimorphism, presence of an adhe- EVOLUTION sive organ on the dorsal mantle integument, lack of fully developed tentacles on hatching, and SQUID ability to produce large quantities of eggs relative to their body size during reproduction provide MOLLUSC unique characteristics not commonly found in other cephalopods. These “mini-maximalists” have a life history strategy of rapid growth and high fecundity, and species of Idiosepius have been used as a model to examine embryonic and post-embryonic development, neurobiology, phylogeny, physiology, and life history strategies. Their small size, rapid generation time, soli- tary nature, and ease of producing eggs/hatchlings in captivity has provided a solid foundation for better understanding the evolution of an organism that has pushed the boundaries of a multi- tude of life history characteristics not observed in other metazoans. -
Tropical Cuttlefish a Model Organism to Study Travelling Waves in Biological Systems 4 August 2014
Tropical cuttlefish a model organism to study travelling waves in biological systems 4 August 2014 several millions of them. The size of each chromatophore can be rapidly and individually altered by neural activation of radial muscles. If those muscles relax, their chromatophore shrinks. If they contract, the chromatophore grows larger. One form of cephalopod pigmentation pattern is the passing cloud – a dark band that travels across the body of the animal. It can be superimposed on various static body patterns and textures. The passing cloud results from the coordinated activation of chromatophore arrays to generate one, or as in the present case, several simultaneous traveling waves of pigmentation. The tropical cuttlefish Metasepia tullbergi proves to be a suitable model organism to investigate the possible neural mechanisms underlying these The cuttlefish Metasepia tullbergi is not only extremely passing clouds. Using high-speed video cameras colourful, it can also generate colour waves traveling with 50 or 100 frames per second, the scientists across its body. Credit: Stephan Junek from the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research observed that the mantle of Metasepia contains four regions of wave travel on each half of the Some cephalopods are masters of display: Not body. Each region supports a different propagation only can they adapt their skin colour to their direction with the waves remaining within the immediate environment, thereby merging with the boundaries of a given region. The animal then uses background, they can also produce propagating different combinations of such regions of wave colour waves along their body. These so-called travel to produce different displays.
