  • Characterization of Arm Autotomy in the Octopus, Abdopus Aculeatus (D’Orbigny, 1834)
    Characterization of Arm Autotomy in the Octopus, Abdopus aculeatus (d’Orbigny, 1834) By Jean Sagman Alupay A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Roy L. Caldwell, Chair Professor David Lindberg Professor Damian Elias Fall 2013 ABSTRACT Characterization of Arm Autotomy in the Octopus, Abdopus aculeatus (d’Orbigny, 1834) By Jean Sagman Alupay Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Roy L. Caldwell, Chair Autotomy is the shedding of a body part as a means of secondary defense against a predator that has already made contact with the organism. This defense mechanism has been widely studied in a few model taxa, specifically lizards, a few groups of arthropods, and some echinoderms. All of these model organisms have a hard endo- or exo-skeleton surrounding the autotomized body part. There are several animals that are capable of autotomizing a limb but do not exhibit the same biological trends that these model organisms have in common. As a result, the mechanisms that underlie autotomy in the hard-bodied animals may not apply for soft bodied organisms. A behavioral ecology approach was used to study arm autotomy in the octopus, Abdopus aculeatus. Investigations concentrated on understanding the mechanistic underpinnings and adaptive value of autotomy in this soft-bodied animal. A. aculeatus was observed in the field on Mactan Island, Philippines in the dry and wet seasons, and compared with populations previously studied in Indonesia.

    Fishery Basics – California Fisheries Market Squid (Doryteuthis opalescens) Left photo: squid swimming. Right photo: squisquidd layinglaying eggs. Photos courtesy of NOAA Fisheries Service Southwest Fisheries Science Center.Center. Life History Squid, Octopuses, Clams, and Oysters belong in the taxonomic phylum Mollusca and are characterized as having soft bodies with a hard shell portion. California Market Squid are small pelagic mollusks that inhabit the waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean from the southern tip of Baja California to southeastern Alaska. The highest abundance of squid occurs between Punta Eugenia, Baja California and Monterey Bay, California. Squid can be found in open waters above the continental shelf (See Biology & Ecology – Ecosystems Where Fish Live) from the surface to depths of at least 700 m (2,300 ft). Market Squid have a life span of approximately one year and reach a maximum total length of 30 cm (12 in). They are a semelparous species that spawn multiple times during the last few weeks of their lives. When adults reach maturity they move into shallow waters, usually semi-protected bays, where they congregate in dense schools over sandy bottoms. Spawning seasons are dependent on environmental conditions, like water temperature and water clarity. In Monterey Bay, mass spawning during the night usually occurs in April through November, while in southern California it occurs in October through April or May. When spawning (video) occurs, a male grabs a female and holds her in a vertical position and then uses a specialized ventral arm to transfer and deposit spermatophores into the female’s mantle cavity. The females lay eggs in elongated capsules, which each may hold up to 300 eggs.

  • Genetic Structure and Diversity of Squids with Contrasting Life Histories in the Humboldt Current System Estructura Y Diversidad
    Genetic diversity of squids Hidrobiológica 204, 24 (): 1-0 Genetic structure and diversity of squids with contrasting life histories in the Humboldt Current System Estructura y diversidad genética de calamares con historias de vida contrastantes en el Sistema de Corrientes de Humboldt Christian Marcelo Ibáñez and Elie Poulin Instituto de Ecología y Biodiversidad, Departamento de Ciencias Ecológicas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Chile. Las Palmeras # 3425, Ñuñoa. Chile e-mail: [email protected] Ibáñez C. M and Elie Poulin. 204. Genetic structure and diversity of squids with contrasting life histories in the Humboldt Current System. Hidrobiológica 24 (): -0. ABSTRACT Dosidiscus gigas and Doryteuthis gahi are the most abundant squids in the Humboldt Current System (HCS). These species have contrasting life histories. To determine the genetic structure and diversity of these species, we collected samples from different places in the HCS and amplified a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase I gene. The molecular analysis of D. gigas revealed low genetic diversity, absence of population structure and evidence for a demographic expansion during the transition from the last glacial period to the current interglacial. These results sug- gest that D. gigas is composed of one large population with high levels of gene flow throughout the HCS. In the case of D. gahi, the sequences indicated the presence of two population units in the HCS, one in south-central Chile and one in Peru. The Chilean unit had greater genetic diversity, suggesting that it is an old, relatively stable population. In the Peruvian unit there was less genetic diversity and evidence of a recent demographic expansion.

  • Market Squid (Loligo (Doryteuthis) Opalescens)
    Market Squid (Loligo (Doryteuthis) opalescens) Certification Units Considered Under this Species: • California round haul fishery (purse and drum seine) • California brail fishery Summary In terms of volume and revenue, market squid (Loligo (Doryteuthis) opalescens) represents one of the most important commercial fisheries in California, generating millions of dollars of income annually from domestic and foreign sales. Market squid is managed by the state, consistent with federal fishery management guidelines. Because squid live less than a year and die after spawning, there is difficulty in assessing annual recruitment or estimating stock biomass. Bycatch rates are low, and the majority of incidental catch is other coastal pelagic species (CPS). Strengths: • Low incidental catch and bycatch • Managed under a state FMP and monitored under a federal FMP • New analytical approach to estimate abundance of the spawning population (Dorval et al. 2013) Weaknesses: • Catch limits are fixed • Biomass is largely influenced by environmental factors • Market squid are an important forage species - more information is needed to determine how current harvest levels impact the ecosystem 1 History of the Fishery in California Biology of the Species Squid belong to the class Cephalopoda of the phylum Mollusca (CDFG 2005). There are approximately 750 recognized species of squid alive today and more than 10,000 fossil forms of cephalopods. Squid have large, well-developed eyes and strong parrot-like beaks. They use their fins for swimming in much the same way fish do and their funnel for extremely rapid “jet” propulsion forward or backward. The squid’s capacity for sustained swimming allows it to migrate long distances as well as to move vertically through hundreds of meters of water during daily foraging (feeding) bouts.

Cruise Report W-39 Key West - Woods Hole April l2 - May 24, 1978 R/V Westward Sea Education Association Woods Hole, Massachusetts SEA DRAFT COPY , t. ~-. .~-------- Preface Our objective in this report is to present a record and an overview of the scientific program conducted during W-39. The annotations which accompany these abstracted results are intended to make this more than a standard oceanographic cruise report. We regard this report as an opportunity to clarify, to define and to summarize some of the research-related multidisciplinary subject matter treated in Introduction to Marine Science Laboratory, a course which inevitably draws students of diverse backgrounds. It has been my special pleasure on this cruise to associate with an exceptional staff and a number of most stimulating visiting investigators. Miss Anne Brearley, of the Department of Chemistry, Atlantic College, Wales, was in charge of the chemistry laboratory and introduced a new level of proficiency in chemistry to Westward's program. Anne's participation also marks the initiation of the Marine Science Teacher Training Program at S.E.A.---I hope the enlarged experience she brings home with her is some repayment for what she has given us. Mr Stephen Berkowitz of the Virginia Institute of Marine . SCience, directed the zooplankton program with emphasis on the neuston. My thanks and highest regards go to him as a patient shipmate, a competent scientist and a scholar whose intellect remained keen in an occasionally spartan shipboard environment. Our Visiting Scholar for leg 1 was Mr P.W. Wilson, formerly of the American Bureau of Shipping, who does not regard himself as a scientist at all, but whose welcome participation aboard Westward marks the initiation of an expanded program to include scholars from a broader sector of the marine, nautical and maritime fields.
