A Review of Southern Ocean Squids Using Nets and Beaks
Marine Biodiversity (2020) 50:98 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12526-020-01113-4 REVIEW A review of Southern Ocean squids using nets and beaks Yves Cherel1 Received: 31 May 2020 /Revised: 31 August 2020 /Accepted: 3 September 2020 # Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung 2020 Abstract This review presents an innovative approach to investigate the teuthofauna from the Southern Ocean by combining two com- plementary data sets, the literature on cephalopod taxonomy and biogeography, together with predator dietary investigations. Sixty squids were recorded south of the Subtropical Front, including one circumpolar Antarctic (Psychroteuthis glacialis Thiele, 1920), 13 circumpolar Southern Ocean, 20 circumpolar subantarctic, eight regional subantarctic, and 12 occasional subantarctic species. A critical evaluation removed five species from the list, and one species has an unknown taxonomic status. The 42 Southern Ocean squids belong to three large taxonomic units, bathyteuthoids (n = 1 species), myopsids (n =1),andoegopsids (n = 40). A high level of endemism (21 species, 50%, all oegopsids) characterizes the Southern Ocean teuthofauna. Seventeen families of oegopsids are represented, with three dominating families, onychoteuthids (seven species, five endemics), ommastrephids (six species, three endemics), and cranchiids (five species, three endemics). Recent improvements in beak identification and taxonomy allowed making new correspondence between beak and species names, such as Galiteuthis suhmi (Hoyle 1886), Liguriella podophtalma Issel, 1908, and the recently described Taonius notalia Evans, in prep. Gonatus phoebetriae beaks were synonymized with those of Gonatopsis octopedatus Sasaki, 1920, thus increasing significantly the number of records and detailing the circumpolar distribution of this rarely caught Southern Ocean squid. The review extends considerably the number of species, including endemics, recorded from the Southern Ocean, but it also highlights that the corresponding species to two well-described beaks (Moroteuthopsis sp. -
Notes on the Occurrence of Some Poorly Known Decapoda (Crustacea) in the Southern North Sea
NOTES ON THE OCCURRENCE OF SOME POORLY KNOWN DECAPODA (CRUSTACEA) IN THE SOUTHERN NORTH SEA by J. P. H M ADEMA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, The Netherlands F CREUTZBERG & G J VAN NOORT Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, Texel, The Netherlands With 9 text-figures, 6 tables, 5 maps INTRODUCTION Since April 1972 an ecological trawl-survey programme has been undertaken by the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Texel, in the southern North Sea with the R. V. "Aurelia". The main object is to obtain information on distribution, density, biomass and fluctuations of crawling or swimming demersal (epibenthic) fauna such as small fishes, shrimps, prawns, crabs, asteroids, ophiuroids and some gastropods, for the evaluation of the role of these carnivores in the benthic ecosystem of the southern North Sea. Sedimentological aspects of the area are described by Creutzberg & Postma (1979). Within the context of the present paper the most important feature is the mesh of 5 x 5 mm2 of the cod end of the 5V2 m beam-trawl used and the extensive area of 5000-10,000 m2 covered during each haul. These exceptional circumstances resulted into faunistically interesting catches which gave rise to a cooperation with taxonomic specialists of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie (RMNH), Leiden. The present paper deals with decapod crustaceans, collected during "Aurelia"-cruises, which are considered to be scarce or rare in the southern North Sea, completed with data from bottom-samples and other sources The species in question are: Pandalina brevirostris, Spirontocans lilljeborgii, Alpheus macrocheles, Pontophilus spinosus, Pontophilus bi.spino.sus, Galathea dispersa, Ebalia tubero.sa, Ebalia tumefacta, Ebalia cranchii, Atelecyclus rotundatus, Monodaeus couchii, Callianassa subterranea, Callianas.sa tyrrhena, Upogebia stellata and Upogebia deltaura Of the genus Macropodia a number of specimens have been collected, which partly were identified as M. -
Case Study 9 - Scotland North Coast
Case Study 9 - Scotland North Coast 9.1. Introduction The North coast is 560km in length, running from the north-west at Cape Wrath eastwards to Duncansby Head and John O’Groats, with the Orkney Isles lying close offshore, and the Shetland Isles further into the North Sea. Its characteristics are varied with the North Sea interacting for the most part with rocky sea cliffs interspersed by small bays. As one of the least inhabited areas of Scotland there are a small number of abandoned villages and ruins and a few ports and fishing villages, which have stood the test of time, forced down to the coast by the rugged Highlands of the hinterland. The coastline is more structured along this part, characterised by a series of headlands, small bays and sandy beaches - a product of erosion themselves - acting as a natural buffer and providing important dune habitats for flora and fauna (Mendum et al., 20011). There is a small but eclectic mix of socio-cultural development in this area, retaining a distinctive Nordic influence whilst including the resting and submission point of wartime enemies, remnants of villages created or dispersed by the Highland Clearances, a chain of fifteenth century seaside mansions and a retired nuclear reactor (Barling et al., 19962). 9.1.1. Geology & Geomorphology The structure of the coastline is relatively solid in comparison to the fragmented western coast, with 74% (416km) comprised of hard or mixed geology and only 1% (7km) of soft coastline (Fitton et al., 20173). The geology of the area runs in strikes from south-west to north-east changing along the coastline from west to east. -
Resolution 3.11 Conservation Plan for Black Sea Cetaceans
ACCOBAMS-MOP3/2007/Res.3.11 RESOLUTION 3.11 CONSERVATION PLAN FOR BLACK SEA CETACEANS The Meeting of the Parties to the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and contiguous Atlantic area: On the recommendation of the ACCOBAMS Scientific Committee, Aware that all three Black Sea cetacean species, the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), the short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and the common bottlenose dolphin (Turpsiops truncatus), experienced a dramatic decline in abundance during the twentieth century, Taking into account that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)-ACCOBAMS workshop on the Red List Assessment of Cetaceans in the ACCOBAMS Area (Monaco, March 2006) concluded that the Black Sea populations of the harbour porpoise, common dolphin and bottlenose dolphin are endangered, Conscious that most of the factors responsible for their decline, such as current fisheries by-catches, extensive habitat degradation and other anthropogenic impacts, pose continuous threats to the existence of cetaceans in the Black Sea and contiguous waters, represented by the Sea of Azov, the Kerch strait and the Turkish straits system (including the Bosphorus strait, the Marmara Sea and the Dardanelles straits), Convinced that the plan is an integral component of discussions on Black Sea regional and national strategies, plans, programmes and projects concerned with the protection, exploration and management of the Black Sea environment, biodiversity, living resources, marine mammals -

In cetaceans, exhaled breath condensate (blow)—a mixture of cells, mucus and fluids expelled through the force of a whale’s exhale—is a unique sampling matrix for hormones, bacteria and genetic material, among others. Especially the detection of steroid hormones, such as cortisol, is being investigated as stress indicators in several species. As the only Citation: Reckendorf, A.; Schmicke, native cetacean in Germany, harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are of special conservation concern M.; Bunskoek, P.; Anderson Hansen, and research interest.

IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT Elke Lambert June 2020 Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for master’s degree in Marine and Lacustrine Science and Management PROMOTOR: Dr. Steven Degraer (UGhent; RBINS) CO-PROMOTOR: Dr. Bob Rumes (RBINS) SUPERVISOR: Jan Haelters (RBINS) ABSTRACT The stomach contents of 180 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) stranded or bycaught along the Belgian coastline between 1997 and 2018 were analysed to reconstruct the diet and study the factors shaping their feeding ecology. This was investigated combining two techniques used in diet studies: population averages (i.e. diet indices) and analysis of individual variation in the diet through multivariate analysing techniques (nMDS and PERMANOVA). More than 25 fish and invertebrate prey taxa were identified, highlighting the broad prey spectrum that these generalist predators can feed on. However, the majority of porpoises consumed between 1 and 4 prey groups. The diet was primarily dominated by four key prey guilds (i.e. “The big four”): gadoids (mostly whiting Merlangius merlangus), gobies (Pomatoschistus sp.), sandeels (Ammodytes sp.) and clupeids (both herring Clupea harengus and sprat Sprattus sprattus), whilst other taxa were of less importance. -

INTRODUCTION Available catch statistics from 1965 through 1971 indicate • that world-wide landings of squid totalled roughly 700,000 metric tons annually. An additional 100,000 metric tons of cuttlefish and about 160,000 metric tons of octopus were also landed annually. Apart from the well-established squid fishery in the Monterey area of California and the relatively minor inshore squid fishery off Newfoundland, the North American fishing industry has tended to ignore the possibility of further exploitation and utilization of this resource. -
Whale Tales: Cetacean Stranding Reponse and Medicine in the Pacific Northwest
Proceedings of the 2012 North American Veterinary Conference, Orlando, Florida WHALE TALES: CETACEAN STRANDING REPONSE AND MEDICINE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Joseph K. Gaydos, VMD, PhD UC Davis Wildlife Health Center – Orcas Island Office Eastsound, Washington MARINE MAMMAL STRANDINGS: Marine mammal strandings have long attracted the attention of the general public.1 Stranded marine mammal carcasses once were used as food and some of the first laws enacted in New England Colonies were to establish the ownership of beached whale carcasses. Later stranded marine mammals provided animals for museums, live displays and scientific information about little-known species. Today they still provide us with important data on marine mammals and marine mammal populations. Strandings help us to document range expansions for marine mammal species and provide details on marine mammal growth rates, age at maturity, gestation, reproductive season and longevity. Stranded marine mammals also help expand our understanding of marine mammal mortality factors including infectious diseases, toxins and human-caused mortality. In the United States, the Marine Mammal Protection Act (1972) gave the federal government jurisdiction over marine mammals, including stranded ones. An amendment in 1992 established a Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program to (1) facilitate the collection and dissemination of reference data on the health of marine mammals and health trends of marine mammals in the wild; (2) correlate the health of marine mammals and marine mammal populations, in the wild, with available data on physical, chemical, and biological environmental parameters; and (3) coordinate effective responses to unusual mortality events by establishing a process in the Department of Commerce. -
