Ecology, Fishery and Aquaculture in Gulf of California, Mexico: Pen Shell Atrina Maura (Sowerby, 1835)
Chapter 1 Ecology, Fishery and Aquaculture in Gulf of California, Mexico: Pen Shell Atrina maura (Sowerby, 1835) Ruth Escamilla-Montes, Genaro Diarte-Plata, Antonio Luna-González, Jesús Arturo Fierro-Coronado, Héctor Manuel Esparza-Leal, Salvador Granados-Alcantar and César Arturo Ruiz-Verdugo Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/68135 Abstract The pen shell Atrina maura bears economic importance in northwest Mexico. This chapter considers a review on diverse ecology, fishery, and aquaculture topics of this species, car- ried out in northwest Mexico. In ecology, biology, abundance, spatial prospecting, sex ratio, size structure, reproductive cycle, first maturity sizes, variation of gonadosomatic indexes and growth are discussed. In fishery, the information analysed corresponds to the structure of the organisms in the banks susceptible to capture, institutional and ecologi- cal interaction for fishing regulation, evaluation of fishing effort, improvement in fishing performance using the knowledge and attitudes of the fishermen on fisheries policies in the Gulf of California, resilience and collapse of artisanal fisheries and public politics. In aquaculture, they are long-line culture, bottom culture, reproductive cycle, growth, pro- duction of larvae and seeds, biochemistry of oocytes, nutritional quality of the muscle, evaluation of diets based on microalgae, immunology in larval and juvenile and probi- otic use. The present work shows a status based on information published in theses and articles indexed 15 years ago to the date on the ecology, fishery and aquaculture in the pen shell Atrina maura carried out in the lagoon systems of northwest Mexico. Keywords: growth, reproduction, culture, immunology, populations, estuaries © 2017 The Author(s). -

Early Ontogeny of Jurassic Bakevelliids and Their Bearing on Bivalve Evolution
Early ontogeny of Jurassic bakevelliids and their bearing on bivalve evolution NIKOLAUS MALCHUS Malchus, N. 2004. Early ontogeny of Jurassic bakevelliids and their bearing on bivalve evolution. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 49 (1): 85–110. Larval and earliest postlarval shells of Jurassic Bakevelliidae are described for the first time and some complementary data are given concerning larval shells of oysters and pinnids. Two new larval shell characters, a posterodorsal outlet and shell septum are described. The outlet is homologous to the posterodorsal notch of oysters and posterodorsal ridge of arcoids. It probably reflects the presence of the soft anatomical character post−anal tuft, which, among Pteriomorphia, was only known from oysters. A shell septum was so far only known from Cassianellidae, Lithiotidae, and the bakevelliid Kobayashites. A review of early ontogenetic shell characters strongly suggests a basal dichotomy within the Pterio− morphia separating taxa with opisthogyrate larval shells, such as most (or all?) Praecardioida, Pinnoida, Pterioida (Bakevelliidae, Cassianellidae, all living Pterioidea), and Ostreoida from all other groups. The Pinnidae appear to be closely related to the Pterioida, and the Bakevelliidae belong to the stem line of the Cassianellidae, Lithiotidae, Pterioidea, and Ostreoidea. The latter two superfamilies comprise a well constrained clade. These interpretations are con− sistent with recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on palaeontological and genetic (18S and 28S mtDNA) data. A more detailed phylogeny is hampered by the fact that many larval shell characters are rather ancient plesiomorphies. Key words: Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia, Bakevelliidae, larval shell, ontogeny, phylogeny.

Chapter 18. Razor Fish and Scallops
Chapter 18. Razorfish and scallops CHAPTER 18. RAZOR FISH AND SCALLOPS ALAN BUTLER CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Hobart, Tasmania 7001. Email: [email protected] Figure 1. Razorfish Pinna bicolor near seagrass, Posidonia sp. The individual in foreground shows some recent, rapid growth at the posterior margin of the shell and an epifauna mainly of serpulids but with a gastropod, a few bryozoans, and a small colony of a didemnid ascidian beginning to overgrow the bryozoans. The shell in the background is dead, may have been there for a decade, and has a well-developed epifauna, mainly of bryozoans with a couple of sponge colonies. Introduction This chapter outlines some ecological studies of bivalve molluscs in Gulf St Vincent (GSV) waters. It is eclectic, not attempting to cover all studies of bivalves, but mainly those of several large species—the ‘razor fish’ Pinna bicolor, and the scallops Mimachlamys asperrima and Equichlamys bifrons—which are conspicuous, and have proven instructive not only for understanding the ecology of these sorts of animals (sessile filter-feeders, with broadcast spawning, external fertilisation and a long larval period), but of the dynamics of the Gulf ecosystem and of the relationships between species. A vast amount has been written about the ecology of bivalves worldwide (e.g. Wilbur & Yonge 1964- 1966; Bayne 1976; Yonge & Thompson 1976; Purchon 1977; Wilbur 1983-1988; Suchanek 1985; Ludbrook & Gowlett-Holmes 1989; Beesley et al. 1998), and no attempt is made to summarise it here. 238 Chapter 18. Razorfish and scallops Razor fish ‘Razor fish’ are bivalve molluscs, not fish. -

Vol. 16, No. 1, 19~29 (2012) 19 Germ Cell Differentiations during Spermatogenesis and Taxonomic Values of Mature Sperm Morphology of Atrina (Servatrina) pectinata (Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia, Pinnidae) Hee-Woong Kang1, Ee-Yung Chung2,†, Jin-Hee Kim3, Jae Seung Chung4 and Ki-Young Lee2 1West Sea Fisheries Research Institute, National Fisheries Research & Development Institute, Incheon 400-420, Korea 2Dept. of Marine Biotechnology, Kunsan National University, Gunsan 573-701, Korea 3Marine Eco-Technology Institute, Busan 608-830, Korea 4Dept. of Urology, College of Medicine, Inje University, Busan 614-735, Korea ABSTRACT : The ultrastructural characteristics of germ cell differentiations during spermatogenesis and mature sperm morphology in male Atrina (Servatrina) pectinata were evaluated via transmission electron microscopic observation. The accessory cells, which contained a large quantity of glycogen particles and lipid droplets in the cytoplasm, are assumed to be involved in nutrient supply for germ cell development. Morphologically, the sperm nucleus and acrosome of this species are ovoid and conical in shape, respectively. The acrosomal vesicle, which is formed by two kinds of electron-dense or lucent materials, appears from the base to the tip: a thick and slender elliptical line, which is composed of electron-dense opaque material, appears along the outer part (region) of the acrosomal vesicle from the base to the tip, whereas the inner part (region) of the acrosomal vesicle is composed of electron-lucent material in the acrosomal vesicle. Two special characteristics, which are found in the acrosomal vesicle of A. (S) pectinata in Pinnidae (subclass Pteriomorphia), can be employed for phylogenetic and taxonomic analyses as a taxonomic key or a significant tool. -
The Biology of Marine Mammals
Romero, A. 2009. The Biology of Marine Mammals. The Biology of Marine Mammals Aldemaro Romero, Ph.D. Arkansas State University Jonesboro, AR 2009 2 INTRODUCTION Dear students, 3 Chapter 1 Introduction to Marine Mammals 1.1. Overture Humans have always been fascinated with marine mammals. These creatures have been the basis of mythical tales since Antiquity. For centuries naturalists classified them as fish. Today they are symbols of the environmental movement as well as the source of heated controversies: whether we are dealing with the clubbing pub seals in the Arctic or whaling by industrialized nations, marine mammals continue to be a hot issue in science, politics, economics, and ethics. But if we want to better understand these issues, we need to learn more about marine mammal biology. The problem is that, despite increased research efforts, only in the last two decades we have made significant progress in learning about these creatures. And yet, that knowledge is largely limited to a handful of species because they are either relatively easy to observe in nature or because they can be studied in captivity. Still, because of television documentaries, ‘coffee-table’ books, displays in many aquaria around the world, and a growing whale and dolphin watching industry, people believe that they have a certain familiarity with many species of marine mammals (for more on the relationship between humans and marine mammals such as whales, see Ellis 1991, Forestell 2002). As late as 2002, a new species of beaked whale was being reported (Delbout et al. 2002), in 2003 a new species of baleen whale was described (Wada et al. -
Distinción Taxonómica De Los Moluscos De Fondos Blandos Del Golfo De Batabanó, Cuba

Res., 43(5): 856-872, 2015Distinción taxonómica de los moluscos del Golfo de Batabanó, Cuba 856 1 DOI: 10.3856/vol43-issue5-fulltext-6 Research Article Distinción taxonómica de los moluscos de fondos blandos del Golfo de Batabanó, Cuba Norberto Capetillo-Piñar1, Marcial Trinidad Villalejo-Fuerte1 & Arturo Tripp-Quezada1 1Centro Interdisciplinario de Ciencias Marinas, Instituto Politécnico Nacional P.O. Box 592, La Paz, 23096 Baja California Sur, México Corresponding author: Arturo Tripp-Quezada ([email protected]) RESUMEN. La distinción taxonómica es una medida de diversidad que presenta una serie de ventajas que dan connotación relevante a la ecología teórica y aplicada. La utilidad de este tipo de medida como otro método para evaluar la biodiversidad de los ecosistemas marinos bentónicos de fondos blandos del Golfo de Batabanó (Cuba) se comprobó mediante el uso de los índices de distinción taxonómica promedio (Delta+) y la variación en la distinción taxonómica (Lambda+) de las comunidades de moluscos. Para este propósito, se utilizaron los inventarios de especies de moluscos bentónicos de fondos blandos obtenidos en el periodo 1981-1985 y en los años 2004 y 2007. Ambos listados de especies fueron analizados y comparados a escala espacial y temporal. La composición taxonómica entre el periodo y años estudiados se conformó de 3 clases, 20 órdenes, 60 familias, 137 géneros y 182 especies, observándose, excepto en el nivel de clase, una disminución no significativa de esta composición en 2004 y 2007. A escala espacial se detectó una disminución significativa en la riqueza taxonómica en el 2004. No se detectaron diferencias significativas en Delta+ y Lambda+ a escala temporal, pero si a escala espacial, hecho que se puede atribuir al efecto combinado del incremento de las actividades antropogénicas en la región con los efectos inducidos por los huracanes.
