INTRODUCTION In the beginning of the seventies, many new nominal taxa of Atlantic and Mediter- ranean Pyramidellidae were published by F. Nordsieck. These taxa have been a source of difficulty ever since, because the descriptions were not always good enough for The if of Nordsieck's hand and had recognition. figures, published anyway, were own to more artistic than scientific value. It has therefore been a longstanding wish critically revise all these the basis of the material. taxa on type Thanks to the highly appreciated help ofDr. RonaldJanssen, curator of the Mollusca in the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt, Germany, we were able to consult the collec- tion of F.

Stagno d’Al - contres 31, 98166 Messina, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] 2Via Bologna, 18/A, 87032 Amantea, Cosenza, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT First quantitative data on mollusc assemblages from the Capo d’Armi cliff, at the south en - trance of the Strait of Messina, provided a baseline for monitoring changes in benthic biod- iversity of a crucial Mediterranean area, whose depletion might already be advanced. A total of 133 benthic taxa have been recorded, and their distribution evaluated according to depth and seasonality. Bathymetric distribution showed scanty differences between the 4-6 meters and 12-16 meters depth levels, sharing all the 22 most abundant species. Season markedly affected species composition, since 42 taxa were exclusively recorded in spring and 35 in autumn, contrary to 56 shared taxa. The occurrence of some uncommon taxa has also been discussed. The benthic mollusc assemblages, although sampled in Ionian Sea, showed a clear western species composition, in accordance with literature placing east of the Strait the bound- ary line between western and eastern Mediterranean eco-regions. Opposite, occasional records of six mesopelagic species, which included the first record for this area of Atlanta helicinoi - dea -

TUBI (Turkish Benthic Index): a New Biotic Index for Assessing Impacts of Organic Pollution on Benthic Communities
J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 21, No. 2: 135-168 (2015) RESEARCH ARTICLE TUBI (TUrkish Benthic Index): A new biotic index for assessing impacts of organic pollution on benthic communities Melih Ertan Çinar1*, Kerem Bakır1, Bilal Öztürk1, Tuncer Katağan1, Ertan Dağlı1, Şermin Açık2, Alper Doğan1, Banu Bitlis Bakır2 1 Department of Hydrobiology, Faculty of Fisheries, Ege University, 35100, Bornova, İzmir, TURKEY 2 Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology, Dokuz Eylül University, İnciraltı, 35340, İzmir, TURKEY *Corresponding autor: [email protected] Abstract A new biotic index, TUBI (TUrkish Benthic Index) is proposed here to assess the impacts of organic enrichments on benthic community structures. This new index has two metrics; the Shannon-Weiver’s diversity index (metric 1) and the relative abundance of ecological groups (metric 2). The ecological groups of species, which include five categories, were re-organized under three major categories here, namely, sensitive species (including GI and GII), tolerant species (GIII) and opportunistic species (GIV and GV). The metric 2 considers these groups with different weights and eliminates sensitive species in the calculation. Scores of TUBI vary between 0 and 5, and the benthic quality status increases with increasing TUBI scores. Benthic samples collected from Izmir Bay, and the Aegean and Levantine Seas were analyzed by using different biotic indices such as AMBI, M-AMBI, BENTIX, MEDOCC and TUBI, based on the national database for the ecological groups of benthic species. All biotic indices used, with some exceptions, discriminated poor and bad ecological status in the regions. The correlation analysis performed between the total organic carbon in sediment and total inorganic nitrogen in deep water, and biotic indices indicated that TUBI possessed the highest negative correlation values with these environmental variables, therefore better detecting the variability across a gradient of pollution-mediated impacts on benthic communities. -
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCS ALONG A DEPTH GRADIENT IN THE BAHAMAS Michael Joseph Dowgiallo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Department of Biology, UMCP Species richness and abundance of benthic bivalve and gastropod molluscs was determined over a depth gradient of 5 - 244 m at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas by deploying replicate benthic collectors at five sites at 5 m, 14 m, 46 m, 153 m, and 244 m for six months beginning in December 1993. A total of 773 individual molluscs comprising at least 72 taxa were retrieved from the collectors. Analysis of the molluscan fauna that colonized the collectors showed overwhelmingly higher abundance and diversity at the 5 m, 14 m, and 46 m sites as compared to the deeper sites at 153 m and 244 m. Irradiance, temperature, and habitat heterogeneity all declined with depth, coincident with declines in the abundance and diversity of the molluscs. Herbivorous modes of feeding predominated (52%) and carnivorous modes of feeding were common (44%) over the range of depths studied at Lee Stocking Island, but mode of feeding did not change significantly over depth. One bivalve and one gastropod species showed a significant decline in body size with increasing depth. Analysis of data for 960 species of gastropod molluscs from the Western Atlantic Gastropod Database of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) that have ranges including the Bahamas showed a positive correlation between body size of species of gastropods and their geographic ranges. There was also a positive correlation between depth range and the size of the geographic range. -

F ritz N ordsieck wurde am 8.3.1906 als drittes von vier Kindern eines kaufmänni schen Angestellten in Düsseldorf geboren. Trotz widriger Umstände — sein Vater war Kriegsinvalide geworden, die Mutter frühzeitig gestorben — nahmF ritz N ordsieck nach dem Abitur das Studium der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften auf. Sein Studium an der Universität Köln von 1925—1930 mußte er sich durch Eigenarbeit und Darlehen selbst finanzieren. Nach der Promotion war er an der Universität Köln zunächst als wissen schaftlicher Assistent in den Fächern Betriebswirtschaft und Betriebsorganisation tätig, bevor er ab 1934 wissenschaftlicher Referent am Deutschen Gemeindetag in Berlin wurde. In dieser Zeit fungierteN ordsieck auch als Hauptschriftleiter der Zeitschrift für öffentli che Wirtschaft. Eine Habilitation scheiterte 1936 aus politischen Gründen. Während der Zeit in Berlin verfaßte N ordsieck etliche Bücher über Betriebsorganisation, Organisa tionslehre und kommunale Verwaltung, die in mehreren Auflagen erschienen. 1934 heirateteF ritz N ordsieck nach gemeinsamem Studium und Assistententätigkeit seine Frau H ildegard. Es wurden ihnen fünf Kinder geboren, von denen sich sein Sohn H artmut ebenfalls der Malakologie zugewandt hat. -

NMFS proposes to implement the specifications for fishing year 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 separately prior to each fishing year. The specifications pertain to ACLs for coral reef ecosystem fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ or federal waters; generally 3-200 nautical miles or nm) around American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, and Hawaii, and a post-season AM to correct the overage of an ACL if it occurs. Because of the large number of individual coral reef ecosystem management unit species (CREMUS) in each island area, individual species were aggregated into higher taxonomic groups, generally at the family level. -

THE EFFECT OF THE ECfOPARASITIC PYRAMIDELLID SNAIL, BOONEA IMPRESSA, ON THE GROWTH AND HEALTH OF OYSTERS, CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA, UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS ELIZABETH A. WILSON,' ERIC N. POWELL,' AND SAMMY M. RAY· ABSTRACT BOfYMQ. (= Odostomia) impressa are contagiously distributed on oyster reefs so that some oysters are parasitized more than others. The parasite's mobility and the ability of oysters to recover from snail parasitism may be important in assessing the impact ofparasitism on oyster populations. Duringa 4-week exposure period in the field, B. impressa reduced American oyster, CrasS08trea virgillica, growth rate and increased the intensity ofinfection by the protozoan, Perki71/J'U8 (- Dermoeystidium) marillUB, but produced few changes in the oyster's biochemical composition because. although net productivity was reduced, the oysters retained a net positive energy balance (assimilation> respiration). During a 4-week recovery period, growth rate returned to normal (control) levels, but infection by P. marillUB continued to intensify in previously parasitized oysters kept B. impressa-free. Most changes in biochemical com position during recovery, including increased lipid and glycogen contents, could be attributed to the con tinuing increase in infection intensity of P. marillUB. Consequently, the temporal stability and size of snail patches. particularly as they regulate infection by P. marillUB, may be the most important factors influencing the impact of B. impressa on oyster reefs. Parasitism can be an important factor affecting the abundantly on oyster reefs from Massachusetts to population dynamics (Wickham 1986; Brown and the Gulf of Mexico, B. impressa has been reported Brown 1986; Kabat 1986) and health (Brockelman in numbers as high as 100 per oyster (Hopkins 1956). -
