Reinaldo Morales por su revisión en los datos estadísticos y apoyo constante en la consecución de información. 3 Guía Técnica - Patología e Inmunología de Camarones Penaeidos 4 Prólogo PRÓLOGO De acuerdo con la FAO (2014), la producción acuícola mundial alcanzó el máximo histórico de 90.4 millones de toneladas en 2012, de las cuales 66.6 millones de toneladas corresponden a pescado comestible, incluida la producción de camarón de cultivo que representó el 9.7% (6.4 mi- llones de toneladas) y el 22.4% en valor, los cuales a su vez corresponden al 15% del valor total de los productos pesqueros comercializados a nivel internacional. En los países que conforman OIRSA, la evolución de los volúmenes de producción indica que la camaronicultura tuvo un crecimiento ponderado del 214% entre 2000 y 2011. El sector presentó una tendencia ascendente sostenida hasta 2008, cuando el aumento llegó hasta el 269% y desde entonces presentó un comportamiento fluctuante (FAO FishStat, 2014). Si bien los resultados de la producción de la acuicultura y en especial de los camarones cul- tivados son de alta importancia, la industria se ha visto afectada en diferentes épocas por el apareci- miento de enfermedades. Tal es el caso de Centroamérica, que en la década de los 90 fue fuertemente impactada por la aparición de patologías como el Síndrome de Taura y el Síndrome de la Mancha Blanca, causando significativas pérdidas en la producción, la generación de ingresos y empleos. En 2012 y con mayor énfasis en 2013, se evidenció una disminución de los volúmenes en la producción mundial de camarón cultivado, debido principalmente a problemas relacionados con enfermedades como la Enfermedad de la Necrosis Aguda del Hepatopáncreas (AHPND o EMS) en algunos países de Asia, así como otras patologías similares en ciertos países de América Latina, lo cual incrementó los precios del camarón en todo el mundo y afectó el consumo en los mercados tradicionales. Debido al alto riesgo que representan las enfermedades tanto para las poblaciones en cultivo como para los organismos silvestres, el sector acuícola se ha visto en la necesidad de implementar nuevas tecnologías, de aplicar las “buenas prácticas de manejo” en sus cultivos y también de capaci- tar de forma continua al personal técnico y de campo. El Organismo Internacional Regional de Sanidad Agropecuaria (OIRSA), como ente rector de la sanidad agropecuaria en la región, tiene entre sus compromisos el facilitar el desarrollo econó- mico y social de los países miembros mediante la producción agropecuaria sana y de calidad. Con dicho propósito, OIRSA tiene el honor de presentar la Guía Técnica de Patología e Inmunología de Camarones Penaeidos, la cual recoge las técnicas de identificación y características de las principales enfermedades de los camarones y que le permitirá a la región contar con una camaronicultura que cumpla los estándares de calidad y sea altamente productiva. EFRAÍN MEDINA GUERRA Director Ejecutivo OIRSA, 2014 5 Guía Técnica - Patología e Inmunología de Camarones Penaeidos 6 Introducción INTRODUCCIÓN La Guía Técnica – Patología e Inmunología de Camarones Penaeidos, primera edición, fue creada gracias al Programa Iberoamericano de Ciencia y Tecnología para el Desarrollo (CYTED).

    Potential Species of Conservation Concern for the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs Plan Revision Potential Species of Conservation Concern for the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs Plan Revision Including Botanical and Animal Species April 24, 2014 DRAFT 1 Potential Species of Conservation Concern for the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs Plan Revision Potential Plant Species of Conservation Concern The Species of Conservation Concern is a list of rare plant species, other than federally listed species, that occur within the plan area for which the Regional Forester has determined there is a substantial concern regarding the species’ capability to persist in the plan area over the long- term. Within the directives, two separate categories were identified for development of the list. Based on selected criteria, certain species must be included on the list of potential species of conservation concern (SCC). Other species could also be included with consideration of additional criteria. Based on initial review with the Regional Forester the potential list is restricted to species with occurrence records on either of the two forest units within the last 50 years. In order to be consistent with other forests within the region all the botanical taxonomy is consistent with the NatureServe web site, April 2014. Process for Species Inclusion All species with a global rank of G1, G2, T1, T2 or variations such as G1G2 (G/T 1-2must be included on the potential list. This list of appropriate plant species was derived from three separate data sources. The GIS Biotics database, maintained by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program, was queried for all the rare plant species with the appropriate global rank within the 18-county area surrounding the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs.

Crandall; e-mail: [email protected] (Received 13 May 2017; accepted 16 June 2017) ABSTRACT The freshwater crayfishes are a group of decapod crustaceans that have played a critical role in a diversity of biological studies, from physiology, to ecology, neurobiology, conserva- tion, and evolution. Central to many of these fields of study is the dependence on a robust taxonomic framework for accurate communication relating to species diversity and associated attributes. Despite a huge body of taxonomic work since Linnaeus, there has never been a single, comprehensive taxonomic summary of all the species of crayfish of the world. There has also been an abundance of recent taxonomic work in terms of new species descriptions and taxonomic insights gained from a variety of phylogenetic studies. Here we gather diverse taxonomic and phylogenetic information into a single resource. We develop an updated clas- sification system that includes all the crayfishes worldwide and taxonomic changes to better reflect the current phylogenetic knowledge of the group. We also include all the fossil crayfish taxa for a complete classification of extant and extinct crayfishes.

  • Aquatic Animals and Their Habitats Jim Herrig and Peggy Shute
    Southern Forest Resource Assessment Draft Report www.srs.fs.fed.us/sustain AQUA-5: Aquatic Animals and their Habitats Jim Herrig and Peggy Shute Southern Region, USDA Forest Service and Tennessee Valley Authority respectively What are the history, status, and likely future of aquatic habitats and species in the South? 1 Key Findings • Sediments, introduced into aquatic systems above natural, background levels, have adverse impacts on animal species in all seven taxonomic groups considered in this Assessment • The aquatic communities of southeastern United States are globally significant. Many are very narrow endemics and subject to extinction from relatively minor habitat losses. • Habitat barriers created by dams on major rivers have produced isolated populations of many southern aquatic animals. Some species occupy so little of their former range that they are vulnerable to extinction as described for the narrowly endemic species. Some others, mainly larger river animals, have become extinct because of habitat alterations. Current programs have improved conditions in some of the tailwaters. • In some areas aquatic habitats have improved and reintroduction or augmentation supported by captive breeding programs may improve the recovery potential for some species. • Some groundwater systems are being dewatered, threatening unique aquatic communities. Careful aquifer management will be necessary for these aquatic communities. • Certain aquatic species (for example, the flatwoods salamander) require ephemeral ponds to complete their life cycles. Restoration and protection of ephemeral ponds is essential to the conservation of these animals. • Gaps in our scientific knowledge about southern aquatic species are monumental. Research of many types is urgently needed. • In the South, much of the habitat for rare aquatic species is not controlled by Federal or State governments.
