This fisheries sub-sector plays an important role in the livelihoods of fishing communities, especially those living on small islands. As a member of the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI), in partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under RETA [7813], Indonesia (represented by a team from Hasanuddin University) has compiled this academic paper as a contribution towards sustainable management of live reef fish resources in Indonesia. Challenges faced in managing the live grouper fishery and trade in Indonesia include the ongoing activities and practices which damage grouper habitat; the lack of protection for grouper spawning sites; overfishing of groupers which have not yet reached sexual maturity/not reproduced; and the prevalence of illegal and unreported fishing for live groupers. These factors have resulted in declining wild grouper stocks. The Aquaculture sector is, at least as yet, unable to replace or enable a balanced wild caught fishery, and thus there is still a heavy reliance on wild-caught groupers.

Snapper and grouper are important fishery resources with great commercial value for exporters to major international markets. The fisheries also support the livelihoods and food security of many local, small-scale fishing communities worldwide. It is therefore all the more critical that management of these fisheries improves, thus ensuring this important resource will remain available to provide both food and income. Landings of snapper and grouper have been steadily increasing: in the 1950s, total landings were about 50,000 tonnes, but they had grown to more than 612,000 tonnes by 2013.

This represents a new host and the easternmost distribution records for L. ramo- sus. Based on the literature published between 1956 and 2019, this paper tabulates the known hosts and distribution records of the species in the Indo-West Pacific region. The recent collections of L. ramosus from Japan further support a previous suggestion that the geographical distribution of the species in Japanese waters is affected by two warm currents, the Kuroshio, and its branch, the Tsushima Current. Key words: fish parasite, geographical distribution, host range, pennellid, Serranidae The pennellid copepod Lernaeenicus ramo- ramosus from an areolate grouper, Epinephelus sus Kirtisinghe, 1956 is a mesoparasite of per- areolatus (Forsskål, 1775), in Suruga Bay ciform fishes in the Indo-West Pacific region (western North Pacific Ocean), Shizuoka Pre- (Nagasawa & Uyeno, 2014).

Since the first description of the disease at the end of the 1980s, a considerable amount of research has gone into understanding the mechanisms involved in fish infection, developing reliable diagnostic methods, and control measures, and several comprehensive reviews have been published to date. This review focuses on host–virus interaction and epidemiological aspects, comprising viral distribution and transmission as well as the continuously increasing host range (177 susceptible marine species and epizootic outbreaks reported in 62 of them), with special emphasis on genotypes and the effect of global warming on NNV infection, but also including the latest findings in the NNV life cycle and virulence as well as diagnostic methods and VER disease control. Keywords: nervous necrosis virus (NNV); viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER); virus–host interaction; epizootiology; diagnostics; control 1. Introduction Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is the causative agent of viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER), otherwise known as viral nervous necrosis (VNN). The disease was first described at the end of the 1980s in Australia and in the Caribbean [1–3], and has since caused a great deal of mortalities and serious economic losses in a variety of reared marine fish species, but also in freshwater species worldwide.

    Volume 1, No. 3, 66-77, 2016 - RESEARCH ARTICLE - Genetic barcoding and preliminary phylogenetic analysis of Serranidae species from Maltese coastal waters, with a perspective on their Mediterranean phylogeography Adriana Vella*1, Noel Vella Conservation Biology Research Group, Department of Biology, University of Malta, Msida MSD2080, Malta Abstract Ten species of the Serranidae Family sampled from the Mediterranean, including two non- native species, were identified using molecular genetic tools. Two mitochondrial genes, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and Cytochrome b (Cyt b) genes were studied covering a total of 980 bp of which 360 bp exhibited genetic differences. Within species the members of the genus Serranus exhibited the highest haplotypic diversity, while the genera of larger grouper taxa have shown low haplotypic and nucleotide diversity indices with these genetic markers. Each sequence was also checked against BOLD and GenBank databases to compare species categorization. COI data on S. cabrilla and S. scriba were used in a preliminary phylogeographic analyses for these two species. Results show significant differences between certain sampling locations, indicating localized populations within the Mediterranean.

The genus Epinephelus is identified Accepted on: July 08, 2020 based on the color configuration and morphological characteristics. The homogeneity in the morphological Available online: July 30, 2020 characteristics has created confusion in the species identification of Epinephelus. Epinephelus areolatus with its delicious taste has high economic value; however, its population showed a remarkable decline in recent times due to overfishing. Due to morphological resemblance, it has often been confused with Epinephelus Key words: chlorostigma and Epinephelus bleekeri, which leads to misidentification. Hence, correct identification of Epinephelus areolatus, DNA species is needed for the proper management of fish resources. This study aims to identify and validate E. barcoding, morpho-meristic areolatus by using morpho-meristic characteristics, including the number and pattern of pyloric caeca, vertebrae characteristics, vertebrae, pyloric count through radiograph imaging, scale and otolith morphology, and DNA barcoding. The morphological caecum. and meristic characteristics of Epinephelus species observed in Nizampatnam coast are strikingly comparable to those reported earlier as E. areolatus.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION DOI: 10.1038/NCLIMATE1691 Shrinking of fishes exacerbates impacts of global ocean changes on marine ecosystems Supplementary information Method Dynamic Bioclimate Envelope Model (DBEM) As a first step, we predicted the current (19702000) distribution map of each species an algorithm described in [1,2]. This algorithm estimates the relative abundance of a species on a 30’ latitude x 30’ longitude grid of the world ocean. Input parameters for DBEM include the species’ maximum and minimum depth limits, northern and southern latitudinal range limits, an index of association to major habitat types (seamounts, estuaries, inshore, offshore, continental shelf, continental slope and the abyssal) and known occurrence boundaries. The parameter values of each species, which are posted on the Sea Around Us Project website (http://www.seaaroundus.org/distribution/search.aspx), were derived from data in online databases, mainly FishBase (www.fishbase.org). Jones et al. 3 compared the predicted species distribution from this algorithm with empirically observed occurrence records and found that the algorithm has high predictive power, and that its skills are comparable with other commonly used species distribution modelling approach for marine species such as Maxent4 and Aquamap5. As a second step, we used DBEM to identify the ‘environmental preference profiles’ of the studied species, defined by outputs from the Earth System Models, including sea water temperature (bottom and surface), depth, salinity, distance from seaice and habitat types. Preference profiles are defined as the suitability of each of these environmental conditions to each species, with suitability calculated by overlaying environmental data (19702000) with maps of relative abundance of the species 6.
