    NEGATIVELY CORRELATED ABUNDANCE SUGGESTS COMPETITION BETWEEN RED ABALONE (Haliotis rufescens) AND RED SEA URCHINS (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ESTABLISHED MPAs CLOSED TO COMMERCIAL SEA URCHIN HARVEST IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA By Johnathan Centoni A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Biology Committee Membership Dr. Sean Craig, Committee Chair Dr. Brian Tissot, Committee Member Dr. Paul Bourdeau, Committee Member Dr. Joe Tyburczy, Committee Member Dr. Erik Jules, Program Graduate Coordinator May 2018 ABSTRACT NEGATIVELY CORRELATED ABUNDANCE SUGGESTS COMPETITION BETWEEN RED ABALONE (Haliotis rufescens) AND RED SEA URCHINS (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ESTABLISHED MPAs CLOSED TO COMMERCIAL SEA URCHIN HARVEST IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Johnathan Centoni Red abalone and sea urchins are both important herbivores that potentially compete with each other for resources like food and space along the California coast. Red abalone supported a socioeconomically important recreational fishery during this study (which was closed in 2018) and red sea urchins support an important commercial fishery. Both red sea urchins and red abalone feed on the same macroalgae (including Pterygophora californica, Laminaria setchellii, Stephanocystis osmundacea, Costaria costata, Alaria marginata, Nereocystis leutkeana), and a low abundance of this food source during the period of this project may have created a highly competitive environment for urchins and abalone. Evidence that suggests competition between red abalone and red sea urchins can be seen within data collected during the years of this study (2014-2016): a significantly higher red sea urchin density, concomitant with a significantly lower red abalone density, was observed within areas closed to commercial sea urchin harvest (in MPAs) compared to nearby reference areas open to sea urchin harvest.

  • Echinomermella Matsi (Nematoda)
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published March 23 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Population reductions of Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis (Echinodermata)in Norway and the distribution of its endoparasite Echinomermella matsi (Nematoda) A. Skadsheim, H. Christie, H. P. Leinaas Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), Box 1037 Blindern. N-0315 Oslo. Norway ABSTRACT: Observations of sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis (0.F. Miiller) mass mortal- ity at Vega island In mid Norway, and reduced sea urchin density in another area 280 km (aerial line) to the south, initiated a more extensive survey of sea urchin and kelp Laminaria hyperborea (Gunn.) Foslie forest distribution along 700 km of coastline. Records of the distribution and prevalence of the nematode Echinomermella matsi Jones & Hagen, 1987, an endoparasite of S. droebachiensis, were also included as the parasite has been postulated to cause sea UI-chinmass mortality. Sampling was con- centrated in 5 areas of coastline along mid and northern Norway. Each area was studied along a wave exposure gradient. Old kelp forests have persisted along the outermost exposed parts of the coastline despite the 20 yr population outbreak of sea urchins. Inshore of the exposed kelp zone and towards the mainland, sea urchin dominated barren grounds still persisted. The distribution and abundance of S. droebachiensis in the southernmost area (Fraya) was greatly reduced, and expansion of kelp into for- mer barren grounds resulted. Reduced numbers of sea urchins and some macroalgal regrowth also occurred in the 2 central areas 140 and 280 km north of Fraya, whilst high population densities of small sized S. droebachiensis on 'barrens' still dominated the inner zone in the 2 northern areas.

  • Changes in Subtidal Community Structure Associated with British Columbia Sea Otter Transplants*
    Vol. 7: 13-20, 1982 MARINE ECOLOGY - PROGRESS SERIES Published January 1 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Changes in Subtidal Community Structure Associated with British Columbia Sea Otter Transplants* Paul A. Breenl, Trudy A. Carson2,J. Bristol ~oste9and E. Anne Stewart3 ' Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Resource Services Branch, Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo. Brltish Columbia V9R SK6, Canada Ecological Reserves Unit, Ministry of Lands, Parks & Housing. Victoria, British Columbia. Canada Box 26, Bamfield, British Columbia, Canada ABSTRACT: Sea otters Enhydra Iutris were re-introduced into coastal waters of British Columbia, Canada, in 1969-1972, after being hunted to extinction In the previous 2 centuries. In 1979, we visited an area where 55 individuals had been seen in 1978, and we made subtidal observations of the abundance and distribution of red sea urchins, other grazers, and kelps. Earlier observations, made in the area before sea otters were re-introduced, confirmed that changes have taken place in subtidal communities since the re-introduction. Where sea otters had been observed feeding, sea urchins Strongylocentrotus franciscanus were scarce and restricted to crevices or beneath boulders, other grazers were scarce, and kelps colonized the bottom to 10-m depths. The algal communities in these areas appeared to be simple downward extensions of sublittoral fringe communities. Where sea otters had not fed, kelps were limited to shallow water by abundant sea urchins. The observed differences between the 2 types of areas are concluded to have been caused by early ellmlnation of sea urchins by sea otters, as reported in Alaska and California. From the pattern of sea urchin abundance in the general area of the transplant, we were able to delineate the feeding range of this small population of sea otters.

  • Kelp Aquaculture
    Aquaculture in Shared Waters Kelp Aquaculture Sarah Redmond1 ; Samuel Belknap2 ; Rebecca Clark Uchenna3 “Kelp” are large brown marine macroalgae species native to New England and traditionally wild harvested for food. There are three commercially important kelp species in Maine—sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima), winged kelp (Alaria esculenta), and horsetail kelp (Laminaria digitata). Maine is developing techniques for culturing kelp on sea farms as a way for fishermen and farmers to diversify their operations while providing a unique, high quality, nutritious vegetable seafood for new and existing markets. Kelp is grown on submerged horizontal long lines on leased sea farms from September to May, making it a “winter crop” for Maine. The simple farm design, winter season, and relatively low startup costs allow for new and existing sea farmers to experiment with this newly developing type of aquaculture on Maine’s coast. “Kelp” can refer to sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima), Alaria (Alaria esculenta), or horsetail kelp (Laminaria digitata). Sugar kelp has been cultivated in Maine for several years, and successful experimental cultivation has been done with species such as Alaria. These photos are examples of the cultivation stages of sugar kelp.

  • Hyperborean Champion.Pdf
    HYPERBOREAN CHAMPION Hyperborea Hyperborea is a legendary land located far from the Middle Sea; a land of black rock and ice where the sun shines for twenty-four hours a day and the people are so hardy that they wear Greek clothes in the bitterly cold temperatures with no sign of discomfort. neither by ship nor on foot would you find the marvellous road to the assembly of the Hyperboreans. Hyperborea appears on no official map. The cities of Hyperborea stand behind the North Wind, under the protection of the Titan Coeus, Titan of the North Wind. Coeus stood aside from his brothers and sisters when the gods warred with the Titans and instead stood to his duty of turning the axis of the world; in return, after the war was over Zeus let him free from Tarterus to continue his duty. Coeus is disinterested in the affairs of men and gods, seeking only to see to it that day follows night and the world keeps turning. Some say that Hyperborea itself stands to the furthest north, beyond the Tin isles and the great ice mountains; others that it dwells in the sky at the top of the pivot of the world. The only connection between Hyperborea and the world of men is the magical island of Delos, which touches the earth in many places at the whim of its mistress, the goddess Leto. It is said that since the alliance was signed between the Hounds of Thrace and the Hyperborean emissary Abaris the Healer, one of those places is in the shallow waters off Panticapaeum.

  • High Prevalence of Infection by Endophytic Brown Algae in Populations of Laminariaspp
    I MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 146: 135-143. 1997 Published January 30 Mar Ecol Prog Ser l High prevalence of infection by endophytic brown algae in populations of Laminaria spp. (Phaeophyceae) Elin Ellertsdottir, Akira F. Peters * Institut fur Meereskunde, Abteilung Meeresbotanik and AG Marine Pathology, Dusternbrooker Weg 20, D-24105 Kiel, Germany ABSTRACT: The occurrence of mlcroscoplc algae that are endophytes and potential pathogens of kelps was quantified during 1994 in wild populations of Laminaria saccharina, L. hyperborea and L. digitata at Helgoland, North Sea. Sampling was designed to enable analysis of the influence of 4 fixed factors: species, date, wave exposure, and depth. Microscopic examination of, in total. 1224 thalli showed that the prevalence of infection by endophytic algae was 85%, much higher than was inferred by gross lesions alone. One tenth of the hosts, mostly L. saccharina, showed severe morphological changes, such as distorted stipes or a crippled lamina. One third showed weaker symptoms of endo- phyte disease, such as dark spots on the lamina or warts on the stipe. In most infected thalli, the infec- tion was not evident macroscopically. Prevalence was high throughout the year with a minimum in spring. At a more exposed site, prevalence was higher and disease symptoms stronger than at a shel- tered locality Disease symptoms were more severe in shallower than in deeper water. Endophytes, mostly brown algae, were repeatedly isolated and identified in laboratory cultures. Endophytes were not strictly host-specific, but L. saccharina was predominantly infected by Laminarionema elsbetiae, recently detected at Helgoland. This is the first epidemiological study comparing the prevalence and effects of kelp endophytes in different hosts at the same locality.
