Based on morphological taxonomic key characters 48 diaptomid species belonging to 13 genera were reported from India. Taxonomic discrimination of many species of these genera is difficult due to their high morphological similarities and minute differences in key characters. In the present study two species of the genus, Neodiaptomus, N. meggiti and N. schmackeri from Andaman Islands were examined based on morphological and molecular characters which showed low variation in morphology and differences in their distributions. The morphological taxonomy of Copepoda with genetic analysis has shown complementing values in understanding the genetic variation and phylogeny of the contemporary populations. In this study, a molecular phylogenetic analysis of N. meggiti and N. schmackeri is performed on the basis of mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. The mtDNA COI sequence of N. meggiti and N.

  • Final Determination of White's Seahorse
    Final Determination July 2019 White’s seahorse Hippocampus whitei Listing Category: Endangered IUCN Category: EN [A2bc] The Fisheries Scientific Committee, established under Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 (the Act), has made a Final Determination to list the Hippocampus whitei (White’s Seahorse) as an ENDANGERED SPECIES in Part 1 of Schedule 4 of the Act. The Fisheries Scientific Committee, with reference to the criteria relevant to this species, prescribed by Part 16 of the Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2010 (the Regulation) has assessed and determined that: The listing of ENDANGERED is provided for by Part 7A, Division 2 of the Act. The assessment has been determined in accordance with the national Common Assessment Method (CAM), which provides a nationally consistent approach to the assessing and listing of threatened species in Australia. Species information and status a) Species: Hippocampus whitei – White’s Seahorse, Bleeker, 1855 (family Syngnathidae) is a valid, recognised taxon and is a species as defined in the Act. The species is endemic to NSW and QLD in eastern Australia. b) Taxonomy Hippocampus whitei was first discovered in 1789 in Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour) and named after John White, surgeon general to the first fleet and author of Journal of a Voyage to New South Wales 1789, in which a portrait of H. whitei is published and was described by Bleeker in 1855. Hippocampus novaehollandiae Steindachner, 1866 is a synonym. In 2016, H. procerus was determined to be a synonym of H. whitei as there were no morphological or genetic differences between individuals of the two species (Lourie et al., 2016; .Short et al., in press).

  • New Records of Commercially Valuable Black Corals (Cnidaria: Antipatharia) from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands at Mesophotic Depths1
    New Records of Commercially Valuable Black Corals (Cnidaria: Antipatharia) from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands at Mesophotic Depths1 Daniel Wagner,2,8 Yannis P. Papastamatiou,3 Randall K. Kosaki,4 Kelly A. Gleason,4 Greg B. McFall,5 Raymond C. Boland,6 Richard L. Pyle,7 and Robert J. Toonen2 Abstract: Mesophotic coral reef ecosystems are notoriously undersurveyed worldwide and particularly in remote locations like the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands ( NWHI). A total of 37 mixed­gas technical dives were performed to depths of 80 m across the NWHI to survey for the presence of the invasive oc­ tocoral Carijoa sp., the invasive red alga Acanthophora spicifera, and conspicuous megabenthic fauna such as black corals. The two invasive species were not re­ corded from any of the surveys, but two commercially valuable black coral spe­ cies, Antipathes griggi and Myriopathes ulex, were found, representing substantial range expansions for these species. Antipathes griggi was recorded from the is­ lands of Necker and Laysan in 58 – 70 m, and Myriopathes ulex was recorded from Necker Island and Pearl and Hermes Atoll in 58 – 70 m. Despite over 30 yr of research in the NWHI, these black coral species had remained undetected. The new records of these conspicuous marine species highlight the utility of deep­ diving technologies in surveying the largest part of the depth range of coral reef ecosystems (40 – 150 m), which remains largely unexplored. The Papahänaumokuäkea Marine Na­ western Hawaiian Islands ( NWHI) repre­ tional Monument surrounding the North­ sents the largest marine protected area under U.S. jurisdiction, encompassing over 351,000 km2 and spanning close to 2,000 km from 1 This work was funded in part by the Western Pa­ Nïhoa Island to Kure Atoll.

  • Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans
    Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans by Robert George Young A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robert George Young, March, 2016 ABSTRACT MOLECULAR SPECIES DELIMITATION AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF CANADIAN MARINE PLANKTONIC CRUSTACEANS Robert George Young Advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Dr. Sarah Adamowicz Dr. Cathryn Abbott Zooplankton are a major component of the marine environment in both diversity and biomass and are a crucial source of nutrients for organisms at higher trophic levels. Unfortunately, marine zooplankton biodiversity is not well known because of difficult morphological identifications and lack of taxonomic experts for many groups. In addition, the large taxonomic diversity present in plankton and low sampling coverage pose challenges in obtaining a better understanding of true zooplankton diversity. Molecular identification tools, like DNA barcoding, have been successfully used to identify marine planktonic specimens to a species. However, the behaviour of methods for specimen identification and species delimitation remain untested for taxonomically diverse and widely-distributed marine zooplanktonic groups. Using Canadian marine planktonic crustacean collections, I generated a multi-gene data set including COI-5P and 18S-V4 molecular markers of morphologically-identified Copepoda and Thecostraca (Multicrustacea: Hexanauplia) species. I used this data set to assess generalities in the genetic divergence patterns and to determine if a barcode gap exists separating interspecific and intraspecific molecular divergences, which can reliably delimit specimens into species. I then used this information to evaluate the North Pacific, Arctic, and North Atlantic biogeography of marine Calanoida (Hexanauplia: Copepoda) plankton.

A new sclerite-free genus from Eilat, northern Red Sea. ZooKeys 680: 1–11. https://doi.org/10.3897/ zookeys.680.12727 Abstract This communication describes a new octocoral, Altumia delicata gen. n. & sp. n. (Octocorallia: Clavu- lariidae), from mesophotic reefs of Eilat (northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea). This species lives on dead antipatharian colonies and on artificial substrates. It has been recorded from deeper than 60 m down to 140 m and is thus considered to be a lower mesophotic octocoral. It has no sclerites and features no symbiotic zooxanthellae. The new genus is compared to other known sclerite-free octocorals. Molecular phylogenetic analyses place it in a clade with members of families Clavulariidae and Acanthoaxiidae, and for now we assign it to the former, based on colony morphology.
