We hope that by bringing together industry producers, resource managers, researchers and students in an informal setting, all can share each other’s knowledge on aquaculture in the northeast region. This year’s event promises to deliver a quality program with thirty-five sessions on finfish, sea vegetables and shellfish culture, three informative workshops, seven field trips to area aquafarms, research facilities and a tradeshow including major aquaculture vendors from across North America. We hope that you enjoy the meeting.

En total, achéganse nomes galegos para 534 especies de moluscos. A estrutura En primeiro lugar preséntase unha clasificación taxonómica que considera as clases, ordes, superfamilias e familias de moluscos. Aquí apúntase, de maneira xeral, os nomes dos moluscos que hai en cada familia. A seguir vén o corpo do documento, onde se indica, especie por especie, alén do nome científico, os nomes galegos e ingleses de cada molusco (nalgún caso, tamén, o nome xenérico para un grupo deles). Ao final inclúese unha listaxe de referencias bibliográficas que foron utilizadas para a elaboración do presente documento. Nalgunhas desas referencias recolléronse ou propuxéronse nomes galegos para os moluscos, quer xenéricos quer específicos. Outras referencias achegan nomes para os moluscos noutras linguas, que tamén foron tidos en conta. Alén diso, inclúense algunhas fontes básicas a respecto da metodoloxía e dos criterios terminolóxicos empregados. 2 Tratamento terminolóxico De modo moi resumido, traballouse nas seguintes liñas e cos seguintes criterios: En primeiro lugar, aprofundouse no acervo lingüístico galego. A respecto dos nomes dos moluscos, a lingua galega é riquísima e dispomos dunha chea de nomes, tanto específicos (que designan un único animal) como xenéricos (que designan varios animais parecidos).

    Common Life in the Marine Biome Instructions: Scientists use dichotomous keys to organize and identify specimens. Dichotomous means dividing into two parts – a dichotomous key provides two choices in each step. For example: to divide a package of multi-coloured pens into two groups, you might decide to divide the pens by “has blue ink” and “does not have blue ink”. Work together at each station and use the available tools and key information to identify the different specimens. Record your answers on your results page. Station 1 – Echinoderms 1. a. Specimen has arms…………………………………………………………………….………..go to 2 b. Specimen does not have arms………………………………………………..………….go to 4 2. a. Specimen usually has 5 arms………………………..……………………………..…...go to 3 b. Specimen usually has more than 5 arms (when intact)………………………………………………………………………………………Common sun star 3. a. Specimen has a central, armoured disc with long, thin arms…………………………………………………………………………………………...Daisy brittle star b. Specimen does not armoured disc, and has large, thicker arms………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Sea star There are different species of sea star in Nova Scotian waters. Often, the easiest identification relates to colour. For example, the northern sea star and Forbes’ sea star can both have colorful bodies (purple, tan, red, etc.), however the northern sea star has a pale yellow madreporite and the Forbes’ sea star has a bright orange madreporite. 4. a. Specimen is round and flat with short, fuzz-like spines (live) or smooth without spines (dead)…..………………………………………………………………....Sand dollar b.

Although their roots trace back to over 500 million years ago, there are currently over 9,000 species of bivalves, with many of them edible. These filter feeders have evolved to include a hard and heavy hinged shell to protect them from predators and other elements. This armor makes them slow-moving and, unfortunately for them, easy to catch. In the case of venus clams, la-la, and cockles, bivalves can be cheap and plentiful. But in the case of oysters, scallops, and abalone, bivalves can be among the most luxurious and expensive foods. These interesting animals can be found in virtually every body of water (such as salty oceans, brackish lakes, and freshwater canals); can be farmed or wild caught; can be eaten raw or cooked; and can be found all over the world.

To guide environmentally sustainable expansion, coastal stakeholders require tools to evaluate the risks that marine aquaculture poses and to craft science-based policies and practices which safeguard marine ecosystems. We summarized cur- rent knowledge regarding dissolved nutrient loading from marine fish farms around the world, direct impacts on water quality and secondary impacts on primary production, including forma- tion of harmful algal blooms. We found that modern operating conditions have minimized impacts of individual fish farms on marine water quality. Effects on dissolved oxygen and turbidity are largely eliminated through better management. Nutrient enrichment of the near-field water col- umn is not detectable beyond 100 m of a farm when formulated feeds are used, and feed waste is minimized. We highlight the role of siting fish farms in deep waters with sufficient current to dis- perse nutrients and prevent water quality impacts. We extensively discuss the potential for advances in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) to assimilate waste nutrients.

  • The Molluscan Fisheries of Germany* P
    The Molluscan Fisheries of Germany* p MATIHIASN. L SEAMAN FisheriesBiology Department Institute for MarineResearch 24105 Kiel, Germany MAARTENRUTH FisheriesAgency State of Schleswig-Holstein 24148 Kiel, Germany ABSTRACT The German molluscan fishery has always concentrated on the North Sea. Mollusks occur in the Baltic Sea, but are not as marketable. In prehistory and the Middle Ages, coastal inhabitants gathered mussels, Mytilus edulis, cockles, Cerastoderma edule, and flat oysters, Ostrea edulis, for food and also used mussels as agricultural fertilizer. An organized oyster fisherydeveloped in the 16th century and had considerable economic importance for 300 years. Oysters were dredged with sailing vessels near the coast, as well as far offshore. Catches peaked in the second half of the l 9th century at 3-5 million oysters per year. They declined dramatically in the following decades due to permanent recruitment failures, and the flat oyster finally disappeared from the German coast in the l 950's. An organized fishery for freshwater pearl mussels, Margaritifera margaritifera, also developed at the end of the Middle Ages, but mismanagement and environmental degradation since the late 19th century have brought this species to the brink of extinction as well. Other mollusks harvested on a smaller scale in the past have been softshell clams, Mya arenaria, and whelks, Buccinum undatum. The modern mussel fishery for human food began in 1929 with the introduction of novel dredging methods. Annual catches were in the order of a few thousand tons during the first half of this century and have attained 20,000-60,000 tons since the early l 980's; concomitantly, prices have increased five-fold in recent decades.
