  • ABSTRACT LUCKENBACH, JOHN ADAM. Breeding Biotechnology
    ABSTRACT LUCKENBACH, JOHN ADAM. Breeding Biotechnology, Sex Determination, and Growth in Southern flounder, Paralichthys lethostigma. (Under the direction of Dr. John Godwin and Dr. Russell J. Borski). Southern flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma) support valuable, but declining US fisheries. This species is therefore a strong candidate for aquaculture to mitigate fishing impacts and stabilize seafood supply. Because female flounder reach substantially larger sizes than males, all-female culture is desirable for commercial aquaculture. Hence, a thorough understanding of sexual development, its timing and regulation by temperature is essential for optimization of flounder aquaculture. To better understand ovarian and testicular development in southern flounder, structural and cellular sex-distinguishing markers were studied using histological methods. We found that histologically discernible sex differentiation occurs in southern flounder at ~75-120 mm TL and that early differentiation is considerably delayed relative to its Japanese congener, P. olivaceus. High (28°C) and low (18°C) water temperatures, produced a higher proportion of males (96% and 78% males, respectively). The sex ratio at a mid-range (23°C) temperature was not different from 1:1. This suggests that southern flounder possess a temperature sensitive mechanism of sex determination. Growth was also affected by temperature with the temperature that maximized females inducing better growth. Aromatase cytochrome P450 (P450arom) is responsible for estrogen biosynthesis and plays a critical role in ovarian differentiation. We cloned ovarian P450arom and developed a qRT-PCR for assessment of early sex differentiation. The deduced amino acid sequence for southern flounder P450arom is very similar to P450arom in other teleosts. Comparison of P450arom intron sequences of southern flounder within and between different populations revealed substantial inter-individual variation that may affect sex determination responses.

Rooker Several flatfish species including southern flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma) recruit to estuaries during early life. Therefore, the evaluation of estuarine sites and habitats that serve as nurseries is critical to conservation and management efforts. I used biochemical condition and growth measurements in conjunction with catch-density data to evaluate settlement sites used by southern flounder in the Galveston Bay Estuary (GBE). In 2005, beam-trawl collections were made in three major sections of the GBE (East Bay, West Bay, Galveston Bay), and three sites were sampled in each bay.

Stein (SB), Michael J. Dagg (BIO), Gordon H. Kruse (FIS), Glen S. Jamieson (MEQ), Hiroya Sugisaki (MONITOR), Michael G. Foreman (POC), Bernard A. Megrey (TCODE), Harold P. Batchelder (CCCC), Michio J. Kishi (CCCC), Fangli Qiao (China), Sinjae Yoo (Korea) and Mikhail Stepanenko (Russia) Background FUTURE (Forecasting and Understanding Trends, Uncertainty and Responses of North Pacific Marine Ecosystems), the new Science Program undertaken by PICES member countries, has the broad goals of: (1) understanding the responses of marine ecosystems in the North Pacific to climate change and human activities at basin-wide and regional scales; (2) providing forecasts of what might be expected based on a current understanding of how nature works; and (3) communicating this information effectively to its members and to society in general. Past advances in understanding marine ecosystems in the North Pacific have been largely based either on the direct analysis of observations, or on the development of conceptual and numerical models that help to describe the processes underlying the observations. Though these activities will continue to play an important role in FUTURE, the provision of forecasts and estimates of their associated uncertainties necessitates moving beyond observationally based understanding, so that ecosystem responses to natural and anthropogenic changes can be anticipated and communicated effectively to society. Presentations were invited to address the goals of FUTURE and the three key research questions that it identifies: 1.

The samples were collected with bongo nets and a Multi Plankton Sampler (MPS), both in summer and winter 2002. A total of 352 flatfishes larvae were collected in summer and 343 in winter, representing three families and a total of 13 taxa: Paralichthyidae ( Citharichthys cornutus, C. spilopterus, Citharichthys sp ., Cyclopsetta chittendeni, Syacium spp ., Etropus spp . and Paralichthys spp .), Bothidae ( Bothus ocellatus and Monolene antillarum ) and Cynoglossidae ( Symphurus trewavasae, S. jenynsi, S. plagusia and S. ginsburgi ). The most abundant taxa were Etropus spp ., Syacium spp . and Bothus ocellatus . Etropus spp . occurred mainly as far out as the 200 m isobath and Syacium spp . from 100 m. B. ocellatus was present mainly in the oceanic zone between Ubatuba and Rio de Janeiro as from the 200 m isobath. The greatest average densities of these species occurred in the strata from 0 to 20 m depth in summer and between 20 and 40 m in winter.

  • Shellfish Diseases and Their Management in Commercial Recirculating Systems
    Shellfish Diseases and Their Management in Commercial Recirculating Systems Ralph Elston AquaTechnics & Pacific Shellfish Institute PO Box 687 Carlsborg, WA 98324 Introduction Intensive culture of early life stages of bivalve shellfish culture has been practiced since at least the late 1950’s on an experimental basis. Production scale culture emerged in the 1970’s and today, hathcheries and nurseries produce large numbers of a variety of species of oysters, clams and scallops. The early life stage systems may be entirely or partially recirculating or static. Management of infectious diseases in these systems has been a challenge since their inception and effective health management is a requisite to successful culture. The diseases which affect early life stage shellfish in intensive production systems and the principles and practice of health management are the subject of this presentation. Shellfish Diseases and Management Diseases of bivalve shellfish affecting those reared or harvested from extensive culture primarily consist of parasitic infections and generally comprise the reportable or certifiable diseases. Due to the extensive nature of such culture, intervention options or disease control are limited. In contrast, infectious diseases known from early life stages in intensive culture systems tend to be opportunistic in nature and offer substantial opportunity for management due to the control that can be exerted at key points in the systems. In marine shellfish hatcheries, infectious organisms can enter the system from three sources: brood stock, seawater source and algal food source. Once an organism is established in the system, it may persist without further introduction. Bacterial infections are the most common opportunistic infection in shellfish hatcheries.

Great efforts have been made to reveal their complicated gene structures. But many existing studies focus on partial sequences of MHC genes. In this study, by gene cloning and sequencing, we identified cDNA sequences and DNA sequences of the MHC class II B in two flatfishes, stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus) and homozygous diploid Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Eleven cDNA sequences were acquired from eight stone flounder individuals, and most of the polymorphic sites distributed in exons 2 and 3. Twenty-eight alleles were identified from the DNA fragments in these eight individuals. It could be deduced from their Bayesian inference phylogenetic tree that at least four loci of MHC class II B exist in stone flounder. The detailed whole-length DNA sequences in one individual were analyzed, revealing that the intron length varied among different loci.
