This conference has provided a venue for the exchange of information on various aspects of aquatic invasive species since its inception in 1990. The conference continues to provide an opportunity for dialog between academia, industry and environmental regulators within North America and from abroad. Abstract New Zealand’s current surveillance programme for marine pests does not include methods for identification of organisms in the water column, therefore dispersive forms go undetected. Molecular methods provide an opportunity to detect dispersive forms thereby contributing to a more robust surveillance programme. -

RICHMAN AND JAMES R. LOVVORN1 Department of Zoology, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming 82071 USA Abstract. Invasions of exotic invertebrates have greatly altered many aquatic com- munities, but impacts on the foraging energetics of predators seldom have been assessed. In San Francisco Bay, California (USA), a major community change occurred with intro- duction of the Asian clam (Potamocorbula amurensis) in 1986. This species now greatly outnumbers the previous clam prey of a variety of sharks, rays, sturgeon, ¯at®sh, and crabs, as well as several diving duck species for which the bay is the most important wintering area on the U.S. -
Corbula Amurensis
Pest Risk Assessment for Asian Brackish Water Clams in Oregon IDENTITY Name: Corbula amurensis (formerly Potamocorbula amurenis) Taxonomic Position: phylum Molluska; class Bivalvia; order Myodia; family Cobiculidae Common Names: Amur River clam, Asian clam (not to be confused with Corbicula fluminea also known as the Asian clam), overbite clam, brackish-water Corbula RISK RATING SUMMARY Relative Risk Rating: HIGH Numerical Score: 6 (on a 1-9 scale) Uncertainty: HIGH* The high level of uncertainty attributed to this risk assessment is due to several factors. The format the risk assessment follows was originally developed for forest pest species and, as such, fails to taken into consideration characteristics of invasive species that may be unique to aquatic organisms, especially marine ones. Secondly, while Corbula amurensis is considered a species of considerable concern, it is only present in one location outside of its native range. There may be a unique confluence of events needed for a successful establishment of this species. Some suggestions indicate that a scouring event of the extensive mudflats in the north portion of San Francisco Bay opened up opportunity for colonization (Cohen 2005) while others suggest that large brackish water dominated estuaries (NEMESIS) may be a key requirement for establishment. This would seem to indicate that, perhaps, there are environmental factors necessary for successful inoculation/establishment that have not taken into consideration by this risk assessment. RECOMMENDATION Corbula amurensis has been listed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) as one of the '100 Worst Invasive Species' in the world. Ballast water, with its ability to inoculate a water body with numerous larvae at a time represents the pathway of primary concern for introduction, followed by hull fouling. -
Phylogeography of the Invasive Polychaete Sabella Spallanzanii (Sabellidae) Based on the Nucleotide Sequence of Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) of Nuclear Rdna
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 215: 169–177, 2001 Published May 31 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Phylogeography of the invasive polychaete Sabella spallanzanii (Sabellidae) based on the nucleotide sequence of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of nuclear rDNA F. P. Patti*, M. C. Gambi Stazione Zoologica ‘A. Dohrn’, Laboratorio di Ecologia del Benthos, 80077 Ischia (Napoli), Italy ABSTRACT: Genetic relationships between different populations of the invasive species Sabella spallanzanii (Gmelin, 1791) (Polychaeta, Sabellidae) are investigated through the use of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (285 bp). Samples were taken from South Australian waters (3 populations), the Mediterranean Sea (8 populations) and the French Atlantic coast (1 population). The ITS2 sequences were analyzed using both maximum parsimony and unweighted pair-group mean analysis (UPGMA) algorithms; results showed genetic disjunction between the Australian and the Mediterranean populations. Within the Mediterranean populations, 3 different sub-groups, corresponding to different sub-basins, could be clearly detected (Northwest- ern, Central and Eastern basins). The Atlantic population showed strong differences with the Mediterranean and Australian populations, but did not allow the identification of the source of intro- duction from Europe to Australia. Data also suggest the occurrence of a reduced genetic variability of the Australian populations, probably due to the ‘founder effect’ of one introduction, either via ballast waters or hull fouling. The recent description of the life cycle and larval development of S. spallan- zanii in the Mediterranean Sea, with a long pelagic larval phase and a post-settlement stage of meta- morphosis (approx. 25 d), supports the hypothesis of introduction via ballast waters (larval pool). -

Demospongiae from northern Bass Strait, southern Australia. Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 50(1): 1-242. Eighty-four species (in 47 genera) in the Museum of Victoria, Melbourne, are described and illustrated. Of these, 21 species are described as new: Ancorina repens, A. suina, Stelletta arenitecta, Rhabdastrella cordata, R. intermedia, Tetilla praecipua, Latrunculia hallmanni, Pseudaxinella decipiens, Reniochalina sectilis, Rhaphoxya felina, Clathria wilsoni, Echinoclathria egena, Psammoclema bitextum, P. fissuratum, P. goniodes, P. radiatum, P. stipitatum, P. van- soesti, Callyspongia persculpta, C. toxifera, and Thorecta glomerosus. Eighteen records are new for the Maugean province, and three (Phorbas tenacior, Darwinella gardineri, and Gel- liodes incrustans) are new for the Australian fauna. The following revisions depart from those adopted in Wiedenmayer et al. (in press). The family Desmacididae is divided into Desmacidi- nae and Stylotellinae, and the genera Stylotella ( = Batzella), Phoriospongia ( = Chondropsis), and Psammoclema ( = Psammopemma, Sarcocornea) are assigned to the latter. Dactylia, Chalinopsilla and Arenosclera are synonymised with Callyspongia. Thorectandra is synonymised with Thorecta. Dendrilla cactos (Selenka) is a senior synonym of D. rosea Lendenfeld. The composition of this collection is even, with respect to the known demosponge fauna of Victoria and Tasmania. Its zoogeographic affinity is essentially Indo-West Pacific and relictic Tethyan, its provincial endemism high, and its overlap with the Antarctic/Subantarctic fauna almost nil. -

These populations are distinguished by 6 morphological characteristics. How- ever, they have high geographic variation, and it is quite difficult to distinguish among them. In the present study, we investigated the geographic distribution of the morphological and genetic characteristics of Corbula (Potamocorbula) spp. collected from the waters adjacent to Japan, Korea and San Francisco Bay, USA. Shell morphology was inferred through canonical discrimi- nant analysis (CDA) of 8 shell characteristics, and genetic characteristics were analysed using the DNA sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) and nuclear internal tran- scribed spacer 2 (ITS2) regions. The results of CDA showed that the samples from Ganghwa-do in western Korea could be clearly separated from those of all the other localities. The molecular phy- logenetic tree and haplotype network that were constructed from the CO1 and ITS2 regions, respectively, did not show clear groupings among the collected samples, except for 1 group com- posed of samples from Ganghwa-do. -

June 1946 MEM. NAT. Mus. V1cT., 14, PT. 2, 1946. https://doi.org/10.24199/j.mmv.1946.14.06 THE SUNKLANDS OF PORT PHILLIP BAY AND BASS STRAIT By R. A. Keble, F.G.S., Palaeontologist, National Jiiiseurn of Victoria. Figs. 1-16. (Received for publication 18th l\fay, 1945) The floors of Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait were formerly portions of a continuous land surface joining Victoria with Tasmania. This land surface was drained by a river system of which the Riv-er Y arra was part, and was intersected by two orogenic ridges, the Bassian and King Island ridges, near its eastern and western margins respectively. \Vith progressive subsidence and eustatic adjustment, these ridges became land bridges and the main route for the migration of the flora and fauna. At present, their former trend is indicated by the chains of islands in Bass Strait and the shallower portions of the Strait. The history of the development of the River Yarra is largely that of the former land surface and the King Island land bridge, and is the main theme for this discussion. The Yarra River was developed, for the most part, during the Pleistocene or Ice Age. In Tasmania, there is direct evidence of the Ice Age in the form of U-shaped valleys, raised beaches, strandlines, and river terraces, but in Victoria the effects of glaciation are less apparent. A correlation of the Victorian with the Tasmanian deposits and land forms, and, incidentally, with the European and American, can only be obtained by ascertaining the conditions of sedimentation and accumulation of such deposits in Victoria, as can be seen at the surface1 or as have been revealed by bores, particularly those on the N epean Peninsula; by observing the succession of river terraces along the Maribyrnong River; and by reconstructing the floor of Port Phillip Bay, King Bay, and Bass Strait, and interpreting the submerged land forms revealed by the bathymetrical contours. -
