has showed that the global amount of fish capture in 2014 was 93 million tonnes, of which 81.5 million tonnes from marine fisheries and 11.9 million tonnes from inland fisheries. FAO (2016) has also reported that 31.4% of fish stocks are exploited at a biological unsustainable level and can be considered overfished. In addition, the collapse of marine species due to high fishing efforts can be also influenced by life history traits and climate variability (Pinsky & Byler 2015). The effects of climate changes severely affect freshwater biodiversity (Sala et al. 2000). In fact freshwater fishes are negatively impacted especially by high temperature, low levels of oxygen dissolved and modification in water flow (Ficke et al. 2007), which will lead to a drastic reduction in freshwater fish species in the next years (Xenopolous et al. 2005). The acquisition of information on the current genetic population structure and on how the genetic diversity has changed across time as results of overexploitation and/or environmental changes can be useful to develop new management and conservation strategies in order to prevent the size reduction of populations, their genetic impoverishment and losses in global biodiversity. This PhD work consist of four parts, the first two provide useful information with regard to the genetic population structure of two pelagic species of interest to fisheries within the Mediterranean area (La Mesa et al. 2005; Morello & Arneri 2009), the Transparent goby ( Aphia minuta ) and the European anchovy ( Engraulis encrasicolus ). The genetic structure of these pelagic species was analysed using microsatellites as molecular markers and some hypotheses were provided to explain 1 which forces, among life history traits, historical events, hydrographic barriers and environmental conditions, shaped it. In addition, for E. encrasicolus a series of demographic fluctuations were observed in Adriatic Sea during the last 40 years, with a demographic

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions WATER QUALITY 13.2.1. The principal water quality data sources that have been used to inform this study are: • Environment Agency (EA) WFD classification status and reporting (e.g. EA 2015); and • EA long-term water quality monitoring data for the tidal Thames. Environment Agency WFD Classification Status 13.2.2. The tidal River Thames is divided into three transitional water bodies as part of the Thames River Basin Management Plan (EA 2015) (Thames Upper [ID GB530603911403], Thames Middle [ID GB53060391140] and Thames Lower [ID GB530603911401]. Each of these waterbodies are classified as heavily modified waterbodies (HMWBs). The most recent EA assessment carried out in 2016, confirms that all three of these water bodies are classified as being at Moderate ecological potential (EA 2018). 13.2.3. The Thames Estuary at the London Resort Project Site is located within the Thames Middle Transitional water body, which is a heavily modified water body on account of the following designated uses (Cycle 2 2015-2021): • Coastal protection; • Flood protection; and • Navigation. 13.2.4. The downstream extent of the Thames Middle transitional water body is located approximately 12 km downstream of the Kent Project Site and 8 km downstream of the Essex Project Site near Lower Hope Point. Downstream of this location is the Thames Lower water body which extends to the outer Thames Estuary. 13.2.5. A summary of the current Thames Middle water body WFD status is presented in Table A13.2.1, together with those supporting elements that do not currently meet at least Good status and their associated objectives.

Caesio cuning is a reef-associated artisanal fishery, making it an ideal species for assessing regional patterns of gene flow for evidence of speciation mechanisms as well as for regional management purposes. We evaluated the genetic population structure of Caesio cuning using a 382bp segment of the mitochondrial control region amplified from over 620 fish sampled from 33 localities across the Philippines and Indonesia.

  • Abundance, Life History and Ligulosis in the Gobies (Teleostei) of the Inner Severn Estuary
    J. mar. biol. Ass. U.K. (1985), 65, 951-968 951 Printed in Great Britain ABUNDANCE, LIFE HISTORY AND LIGULOSIS IN THE GOBIES (TELEOSTEI) OF THE INNER SEVERN ESTUARY P. N. CLARIDGE*, M. W. HARDISTY, I. C. POTTER AND C. V. WILLIAMS School of Biological Sciences, University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath BA2 7AY (Figs. 1-7) Eight species of the Gobiidae were recorded in weekly samples taken between July 1972 and June 1977 from the intake screens of Oldbury Power Station in the inner Severn Estuary. Buenia jeffreysii, Aphia minuta, Gobius paganellus and Gobius niger occurred infrequently and Crystallogobius linearis was only common in the late spring and summer of 1975 and 1976. Pomatoschistus microps, which peaked in numbers in the winter, increased in abundance each year between 1972 and 1977. The most numerous gobies were those belonging to the Pomatoschistus minutus complex which were separated into P. minutus and P. lozanoi only between June 1974 and July 1975. Seasonal trends in the abundance of these two species were similar, with elevated numbers occurring between July and September 1974 and in January 1975. Gonadosomatic indices and other data indicate that the decline in numbers after the latter month represented an emigration to spawning areas further down the estuary or in the Bristol Channel. Although P. minutus attained a larger body size than P. lozanoi, both these species and P. microps typically had a one year life cycle with only a small number of individuals surviving for a further few months. The fecundity of P. lozanoi, which ranged from 410-2453 (mean 1270), was lower than that reported for P.
