The reasons for this situation are discussed optimized by controlling physical, chemical and biological in this review, including all important variables affecting growth factors. The pond cultivation technology is the Gelidium and Pterocladia growth. This review will rely much more controllable option. The effects of all factors are mostly on Gelidium studies since most of the relevant discussed in detail in this review. It seems that the main information in the literature deals with Gelidium. difficulty with cultivation of Gelidium is its low growth rate. The claimed yields of the two technologies are far from being economically attractive at this stage of their Initial steps development.

This represents the frst inventory encompass- ing the three major macroalgal classes (Phaeophyceae, Florideophyceae and Ulvophyceae) for the little-known Malagasy marine fora. Combining morphological and DNA-based approaches, we report from our collection a total of 110 species from northern Madagas- car, including 30 species of Phaeophyceae, 50 Florideophyceae and 30 Ulvophyceae. Bar- coding of the chloroplast-encoded rbcL gene was used for the three algal classes, in addi- tion to tufA for the Ulvophyceae. This study signifcantly increases our knowledge of the Malagasy marine biodiversity while augmenting the rbcL and tufA algal reference libraries for DNA barcoding. These eforts resulted in a total of 72 new species records for Mada- gascar. Combining our own data with the literature, we also provide an updated catalogue of 442 taxa of marine benthic

Scientific rationale and objectives The inshore marine systems and resources of the Falkland Islands make up one of the nation’s most diverse, unique, and valuable assets. From its historical reputation as a safe harbour to its present dependence on fishing and wildlife-based revenues, this archipelago is defined by the sea and its resources. Though perhaps best known ecologically for its bird life, the islands hold numerous organisms and environments that are all closely linked. Of the ten bird species of global conservation concern that breed within the Falklands, eight are seabirds and two are closely associated with offshore islands that contain seabird colonies. These species rely on the marine productivity of the waters around the Falkland Islands and in turn cycle nutrients among the soils, plants, and invertebrates of coastal areas. Knowledge and management of the marine environments are thus important for the knowledge and management of all Falklands ecosystems. Surprisingly, very little of the Islands’ immense coastline has been the subject of scientifically sound investigation, and identification of shallow marine species and habitat types is still in its infancy.

  • Distribution Patterns of Tetrapygus Niger (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) Off the Central Chilean Coast
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published November 4 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Distribution patterns of Tetrapygus niger (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) off the central Chilean coast Sebastian R. Rodriguez, F. Patricio Ojeda* Departamento de Ecologia, Facultad de Ciencias Biologicas, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Casilla 114-D, Santiago, Chile ABSTRACT: We investigated spatial distnbution and temporal occurrence patterns of Tetrapygus niger in the subtidal zone off the central Chilean coast from March to November 1990. The shallowest por- tion of the subtidal zone and the shallowest edge of the kelp forest of Lessonia trabeculata appeared to be important recruitment zones for this species We found a s~gnificantnumber of recruits along the bed border, and a marked decrease of urchn abundance toward the center of the kelp Data obtained in September and November outside the kelp bed showed juvenile urchins [i.e.<24 mm test diameter (TD)]strongly associated with crevices. Size-frequency distributions at 2 m depth for those months also showed a large trough of intermediate-sized individuals (i.e. 15 to 30 mm TD). Temporal analysls of size-frequency distributions of individuals collected outs~dethe kelp showed a relatively slow shift of modes between March and September and a malor modal shift from September to November. Density values of urchins found in November were relatively low; however, the individuals appeared aggre- gated. INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS Sea urchins are one of the most common components Sea urchins were collected at Punta de Tralca (33' of near-shore marine ecosystem worldwide, often play- 35' S, 71" 42' W) off the central Chilean coast.

  • Multiple Interaction of Factors in the Distribution of Some Hawaiian Gelidiales (Rhodophyta)!
    Pacific Science (1978), vol. 32, no. 2 © 1978 by The University Press of Hawaii. All rights reserved Multiple Interaction of Factors in the Distribution of Some Hawaiian Gelidiales (Rhodophyta)! B. SANTELICES 2 ABSTRACT: The biomass distribution of the three most common species of Gelidiales on three reefs of Oa'hu wa's found to form zones parallel to the shore correlated with the changing values of light intensity and water move­ ment. Pterocladia caerulescens was restricted to the nearshore margin of reefs, tolerating intermediate intensities of water movement and some 30 to 100 percent of the incident light. Gelidiella acerosa occurred on the central part of the reefs, and while having similar light tolerances had a lower water movement optimum. Toward the seaward edge of the reef P. capillacea was restricted to areas with high water movement and much lower incident light (down to 6 percent). Thallus size and horizontal distribution of the two species of Pterocladia and biomass of all-three species had a seasonal cycle with a maxi­ mum during December and a minium in May. All the biological cycles cor­ related significantly with seasonal changes in light intensity and water move­ ment but did not relate to the seasonal changes of water temperature and salinity. Laboratory experiments tested: the' effects of five single factors and nine types of interactions on the growth and bleaching of the three species of Gelidiales. Results indicate that water movement and light intensity are indeed the factors regulating growth and bleaching of these algae in the field. Salinity and temperature attained statistically significant effects only at values exceeding those found in the field.

The associated macrobenthic communities show a Oscillation (ENSO) are likely to alter the inhabiting commu- variable degree of overlapping; however, key faunal assem- nities. The aim of this study was to reveal relationships blages were distinguished for each habitat. Our study pro- between distinct habitat structures of a M. integrifolia kelp vides evidence that habitat diversity drives species diversity, bed, a dense L. trabeculata kelp bed and L. trabeculata the more homogeneous, monospeciWcally composed kelp patches colonizing a barren ground, and the associated dom- bed habitats show comparatively low diversity, mainly inant macrobenthic key species. Seasonally 15 sampling caused by the dominance of the ascidian P. chilensis and T. units (10 m2 each) of any of the three habitats were moni- tridentata in the M. integrifolia bed, and the mussel A.
