    195 Seychelles: a hotspot of sea cucumber fisheries in Africa and the Indian Ocean region Riaz Aumeeruddy Island Conservation Society Victoria, Seychelles E-mail: [email protected] Chantal Conand Université de la Réunion Saint-Denis, France E-mail: [email protected] Aumeeruddy, R.; Conand, C. 2008. Seychelles: a hotspot of sea cucumber fisheries in Africa and the Indian Ocean region. In V. Toral-Granda, A. Lovatelli and M. Vasconcellos (eds). Sea cucumbers. A global review of fisheries and trade. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper. No. 516. Rome, FAO. pp. 195–209. SUMMARY The Seychelles Archipelago, comprising 115 islands, is located in the middle of the Western Indian Ocean and has a large Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ 1.4 millions km2). Sea cucumbers in Seychelles have been fished for more than a hundred years, but the fishery has recently seen a rapid development. Sea cucumbers are mostly collected by divers using SCUBA gear. They are processed for the export market. The population status is presented for the five main species caught (“pentard”, white teatfish, black teatfish, prickly redfish and sandfish) from the estimated stock and the overall density (ind./ha). Catch and effort data have been collected since 1999 by Seychelles Fishing Authority (SFA). The data are provided by the fishers as per the requirements of their fishing license conditions. The catch per unit effort (CPUE), expressed in numbers of sea cucumbers collected per diver per day, shows mostly a downward trend. The sea cucumber fishery in Seychelles was open-access until 1999. As part of a recent FAO- funded project, a management plan for the fishery has been prepared, based on the results of the resource assessment.

  • Echinodermata) of Yap, Federated States of Micronesia
    Shallow-water holothuroids (Echinodermata) of Yap, Federated States of Micronesia By Sun W. Kim*, Allison K. Miller, Catherine Brunson, Kristin Netchy, Ronald M. Clouse, Daniel Janies, Emmanuel Tardy, and Alexander M. Kerr Abstract In December 2002, July 2007 and December 2009, we surveyed the sea cucumber fauna of the western Caroline Island of Yap (Federated States of Micronesia). We collected 37 species of holothuroids, including 32 species of aspidochirotes and five species of apodans. We found all 13 of the previously reported species and 24 new records for the islands—19 aspidochirotes and five apodans. At least two of the new records appear to be previously undescribed species. Types of microhabitats and reef zonation were closely correlated with the species distributions of Yapese holothuroids.. *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] Pacific Science, vol. 68, no. 3 February, 10, 2014 (Early view) Introduction Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse marine ecosystems, yet they are threatened by climate change, overexploitation, eutrophication and ocean acidification (Hughes 1994, Reaka-Kudla 1997, Bruno et al. 2009). The currently known 93,000 coral reef associated species are estimated to only represent a small portion of the actual diversity (Reaka- Kudla 1997). In addition, many species have not been seen since their original descriptions, often over a century ago, causing ongoing taxonomic confusion. This taxonomic confusion is not limited to rare species; statuses of even some common species remain in flux. We clearly have much to learn about the alpha diversity of coral reefs (Reaka-Kudla 1997, Bouchet et al. 2002, Michonneau et al.

Skillings Dissertation Committee: Robert Toonen, Chairperson Brian Bowen Charles Birkeland Andrew Taylor Ronald Bontekoe i DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my wife, Melissa Kay Skillings. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank my committee members who provided essential guidance and encouragement throughout my graduate career. Foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and committee chair Rob Toonen. He has generously offered me a near endless supply of advice and guidance, as he does for anyone who knocks on his door. He also gave me the flexibility and encouragement needed to make getting two simultaneous graduate degrees possible. My graduate career has been very unconventional, and Rob has supported me every step of the way. I would like to thank Brian Bowen for giving me the structure I needed to succeed. Given my tendency to get lost in an always increasing number of projects, I would have never finished in a reasonable amount of time without his firm hand at setting deadlines and his enthusiastic encouragement to meet those deadlines. Rob and Brian gave me the perfect balance of freedom and focus that I needed to succeed. I would like to thank Chuck Birkeland for helping me to put my work in the larger perspective of coral reef ecosystems. Chuck also encouraged my philosophical and historical investigations into biology through insightful conversation; every time I saw he seemed to have a valuable and important text that he wanted to give me for my collection, many from his personal library.

This species is widely distributed, inhabiting coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Our study evaluated population genetic structure and levels of genetic diversity in southern Japan. A total of 180 individuals were collected from eight locations from Okinawa and Okinoerabu Islands and sequenced using mitochondrial 16S ribosomal DNA (16S) and nuclear histone H3 (H3) gene. Only three 16S haplotypes were detected (518 bp) with haplotype diversity ranging from 0 to 0.56 and nucleotide diversity from 0 to 0.1%. H3 showed no variation among the studied locations. It is plausible that such results could be due to a shift to asexual reproduction. Additionally, the presence of the species on the east coast of Okinawa could only be Submitted 17 March 2016 detected in one location and all individuals consisted of a single haplotype.

Conand (sea cucumber expert), Université de la Réunion, Faculté des Sciences, 15 Ave René Cassin, 97715-SAINT-DENIS Cedex, France To : A. Bruckner, CITES, NOAA, Silver Spring, Colorado, USA, and C. Shelley, Australia, for R. Gabel US DI Washington, USA. RE: CITES: sea cucumbers for Appendix II – Reply to request for information Dear colleagues I shall first introduce myself as sea cucumber expert following numerous studies in the tropical Pacific and Indian oceans. I am the scientific editor of the Beche-de-Mer Information Bulletin published by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), the only publication devoted to world sea cucumber issues (bi- ology, fisheries, markets). It can be found on the web at http://www.spc.int/coastfish. Recent studies have shown the worldwide overexploitation of most collected species. I believe it is the right time to draw international attention to these resources, but it is important to look in detail at which actions to undertake. I will give here a few personal opinions to help the discussion. The exploited sea cucumbers are only a few species among the 1200 presently described. Their taxonomy is very difficult and only a few specialists are still working and describing new species even among the ex- ploited ones (see Madagascar and Kenya…) (see references). As they are often considered in developed countries as ‘ugly or exotic’, the scientific studies are, therefore, not as advanced as for other marine resources and there is an urgent need for integrated studies.

Received: 3 August 2011; in revised form: 30 August 2011 / Accepted: 8 September 2011 / Published: 10 October 2011 Abstract: Sea cucumbers, belonging to the class Holothuroidea, are marine invertebrates, habitually found in the benthic areas and deep seas across the world. They have high commercial value coupled with increasing global production and trade. Sea cucumbers, informally named as bêche-de-mer, or gamat, have long been used for food and folk medicine in the communities of Asia and Middle East. Nutritionally, sea cucumbers have an impressive profile of valuable nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B1 (thiamine), Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (niacin), and minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. A number of unique biological and pharmacological activities including anti-angiogenic, anticancer, anticoagulant, anti-hypertension, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antithrombotic, antitumor and wound healing have been ascribed to various species of sea cucumbers. Therapeutic properties and medicinal benefits of sea cucumbers can be linked to the presence of a wide array of bioactives especially triterpene glycosides (saponins), chondroitin sulfates, glycosaminoglycan (GAGs), sulfated polysaccharides, sterols (glycosides and sulfates), phenolics, cerberosides, lectins, peptides, glycoprotein, glycosphingolipids and essential fatty acids.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Fish Species (Pisces) of La Réunion, Including a Red List of Threatened and Declining Species
    Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde A, Neue Serie 2: 1–168; Stuttgart, 30.IV.2009. 1 Annotated checklist of the fish species (Pisces) of La Réunion, including a Red List of threatened and declining species RONALD FR ICKE , THIE rr Y MULOCHAU , PA tr ICK DU R VILLE , PASCALE CHABANE T , Emm ANUEL TESSIE R & YVES LE T OU R NEU R Abstract An annotated checklist of the fish species of La Réunion (southwestern Indian Ocean) comprises a total of 984 species in 164 families (including 16 species which are not native). 65 species (plus 16 introduced) occur in fresh- water, with the Gobiidae as the largest freshwater fish family. 165 species (plus 16 introduced) live in transitional waters. In marine habitats, 965 species (plus two introduced) are found, with the Labridae, Serranidae and Gobiidae being the largest families; 56.7 % of these species live in shallow coral reefs, 33.7 % inside the fringing reef, 28.0 % in shallow rocky reefs, 16.8 % on sand bottoms, 14.0 % in deep reefs, 11.9 % on the reef flat, and 11.1 % in estuaries. 63 species are first records for Réunion. Zoogeographically, 65 % of the fish fauna have a widespread Indo-Pacific distribution, while only 2.6 % are Mascarene endemics, and 0.7 % Réunion endemics. The classification of the following species is changed in the present paper: Anguilla labiata (Peters, 1852) [pre- viously A. bengalensis labiata]; Microphis millepunctatus (Kaup, 1856) [previously M. brachyurus millepunctatus]; Epinephelus oceanicus (Lacepède, 1802) [previously E. fasciatus (non Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775)]; Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) [previously Apogon fasciatus]; Mulloidichthys auriflamma (Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775) [previously Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (non Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1831)]; Stegastes luteobrun- neus (Smith, 1960) [previously S.
