Yet, much has Conservation changed in the two seemingly disparate practices over the last two decades, motivating an updated evaluation of Aquaculture the scientific evidence for how aquaculture currently impacts conservation, as well as prospects for further Ecosystem services alignment and research. Here we present a new perspective on conservation aquaculture, which we redefine as Recovery “the use of human cultivation of an aquatic organism for the planned management and protection of a natural Restoration resource.” Looking across scales of conservation aquaculture that include single species to ecosystem level benefits (and limitations), we highlight ways aquaculture has historically, and is currently being integrated into conservation (e.g., habitat restoration of oyster beds) and areas that could be improved for the protection of critical species and habitats (e.g., aquarium trade of coral reef species). With a more strategic focus, there appears to be notable conservation aquaculture potential via the cultivation of species for harvest that could provide wild harvest alleviation through replacement or supplement – particularly for over-exploited species – and/or ecosystem services, such as improved water quality and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Threats from nutrient pollution, catchment scale modifications to land use and water flows are increasing. This is concerning for estuarine and coastal fisheries as estuarine producers are inextricably linked to land-derived nutrients and freshwater flows. In tropical estuarine ecosystems the complexity and variability of environmental, biological, and ecological factors culminate in a matrix of largely unknown causal relationships. Because of this, our knowledge of land use impacts on fisheries is limited. Additionally, the disjunction of current measurement scales and impact scales has reduced our ability to measure the resultant impacts on estuarine ecosystems. Therefore, to fully understand anthropogenic impacts on estuarine ecosystems, integrative measures of ecosystem health, functioning, and productive output are required.

  • Characterization of the G Protein-Coupled Receptor Family
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Characterization of the G protein‑coupled receptor family SREB across fsh evolution Timothy S. Breton1*, William G. B. Sampson1, Benjamin Cliford2, Anyssa M. Phaneuf1, Ilze Smidt3, Tamera True1, Andrew R. Wilcox1, Taylor Lipscomb4,5, Casey Murray4 & Matthew A. DiMaggio4 The SREB (Super‑conserved Receptors Expressed in Brain) family of G protein‑coupled receptors is highly conserved across vertebrates and consists of three members: SREB1 (orphan receptor GPR27), SREB2 (GPR85), and SREB3 (GPR173). Ligands for these receptors are largely unknown or only recently identifed, and functions for all three are still beginning to be understood, including roles in glucose homeostasis, neurogenesis, and hypothalamic control of reproduction. In addition to the brain, all three are expressed in gonads, but relatively few studies have focused on this, especially in non‑mammalian models or in an integrated approach across the entire receptor family. The purpose of this study was to more fully characterize sreb genes in fsh, using comparative genomics and gonadal expression analyses in fve diverse ray‑fnned (Actinopterygii) species across evolution. Several unique characteristics were identifed in fsh, including: (1) a novel, fourth euteleost‑specifc gene (sreb3b or gpr173b) that likely emerged from a copy of sreb3 in a separate event after the teleost whole genome duplication, (2) sreb3a gene loss in Order Cyprinodontiformes, and (3) expression diferences between a gar species and teleosts. Overall, gonadal patterns suggested an important role for all sreb genes in teleost testicular development, while gar were characterized by greater ovarian expression that may refect similar roles to mammals. The novel sreb3b gene was also characterized by several unique features, including divergent but highly conserved amino acid positions, and elevated brain expression in pufer (Dichotomyctere nigroviridis) that more closely matched sreb2, not sreb3a.
