    unuftp.is Final Project 2018 Sustainable Management of Guyana’s Seabob (Xiphopenaeus kroyeri.) Trawl Fishery Seion Adika Richardson Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Department Co-operative Republic of Guyana [email protected] Supervisors: Dr. Pamela J. Woods Dr. Ingibjörg G. Jónsdóttir Marine and Freshwater Research Institute Iceland [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Seabob (Xiphopenaeus kroyeri) is the most exploited shrimp species in Guyana and the largest seafood export. This species is mostly caught by seabob trawlers, sometimes with large quantities of bycatch. The goal of this paper is to promote the long-term sustainability of marine stocks impacted by this fishery, by analysing 1) shrimp stock status, 2) the current state of knowledge regarding bycatch impacts, and 3) spatial fishing patterns of seabob trawlers. To address the first, the paper discusses a stock assessment on Guyana`s seabob stock using the Stochastic Surplus Production Model in Continuous-Time (SPiCT). The model output suggests that the stock is currently in an overfished state, i.e., that the predicted Absolute Stock Biomass (Bt) for 2018 is four times smaller than the Biomass which yields Maximum Sustainable Yield at equilibrium (BMSY) and the current fishing mortality (Ft) is six times above the required to achieve Fishing Mortality which results in Maximum Sustainable Yield at equilibrium (FMSY). These results indicate a more overfished state than was generated by the previous stock assessment which concluded that the stock was fully exploited but not overfished (Medley, 2013).To address the second goal, the study linked catch and effort data with spatial Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) data to analyse the mixture of target and non-target species within the seabob fishery.

    A new species of Benthana (Crustacea: Isopoda: Philosciidae) from southern Brazil Carolina C. Sokolowicz; Paula B. Araujo & Juliana F. Boelter Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Avenida Bento Gonçalves 9500, prédio 43435, 91501-970 Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT. A new species of Benthana Budde-Lund, 1908 is described from southern Brazil. Benthana cairensis sp. nov. is distinguished from the other species in the genus by having 17 aesthetascs on the antennula and the elongated male pleopod 1 exopod with a lobe on the inner lateral margin and up to six setae on the outer lateral margin. The new species most resembles B. olfersii (Brandt, 1833), but may be distinguished by lacking the lobe with six setae on the internal margin of the proximal extremity of the merus of pereiopod 7. Furthermore, we include B. olfersii in the subgenus Benthanoscia based on the examined material as described herein. KEY WORDS. Neotropical; Oniscidea; terrestrial isopod. RESUMO.

Accepted 9 August 2000. Abstract South America is diverse in climatic and thus vegetational zonation, and even the uniformly looking tropical rain forests are a mosaic of different habitats depending on the soils, the regional climate and also the geological history. An important part of the nutrient webs of the rain forests is formed by the terrestrial Isopoda, or Oniscidea, the only truly terrestrial taxon within the Crustacea. They are important, because they participate in soil formation by breaking up leaf litter when foraging on the fungi and bacteria growing on them. After a century of research on this interesting taxon, a revision of the terrestrial isopod taxa from South America and some of the Antillean Islands, which are traditionally placed in the family Philosciidae, was performed in the last years to establish monophyletic genera. Within this study, the phylogenetic relationships of these genera are elucidated in the light of phylogenetic systematics. Several new taxa are recognized, which are partially neotropical, partially also found on other continents, particularly the old Gondwanian fragments. The monophyla are checked for their distributional patterns which are compared with those patterns from other taxa from South America and some correspondence was found. The distributional patterns are analysed with respect to the evolution of the Oniscidea and also with respect to the geological history of their habitats.

  • From the Southeast Australian Coast, with Comments on the Distribution and Habitat Preferences of Chondropodinae
    Muvi schmallenbergi gen. nov., sp. nov. (Crustacea, Tanaidacea) from the southeast Australian coast, with comments on the distribution and habitat preferences of Chondropodinae Piotr Jóźwiak and Magdalena Błażewicz Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, University of Łódź, Łódź, Poland ABSTRACT Based on material collected from the shelf off southeast Australia (offshore of Portland), a new genus and new species, Muvi schmallenbergi gen. nov., sp. nov., of the tanaidacean family Metapseudidae, is described. Muvi is distinguishable from other genera within the subfamily Chondropodinae by having equally long antennular flagella. It also differs from other Chondropodinae by a combination of characters such as eyelobes with a group of visual elements, rostrum with smooth lateral edges, pereonites with lateral processes and pleotelson lacking lateral process, antennule article-1 with a single apophysis, maxillule inner lobe well-developed, labial palp bearing three distal setae, cheliped exopod well-developed and setose, pereopod-1 coxa with distinct apophysis, pleopods in five pairs, and uropod basis without apophysis. The genus Deidamiapseudes Sganga & Roccatagliata, 2016 is moved from Chondropodinae (Metapseudidae) to Apseudoidea incertae sedis. An identification key for the genera within Chondropodinae is given, and their distribution is discussed.

  • Ecotoxicology of Estuarine Amphipod Paracorophium Excavatum
    E icolo fEstua ·ne Amphipod Paracorophium excavatum A thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment the requirements for Degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science at The University of Canterbury by Carol Wong Hee Ting University of Canterbury 1999 ABSTRACT The estuarine tube dwelling amphipod Paracorophium excavatum was investigated for its suitability as a bio-indicator and bio-monitor. Distribution patterns of P. excavatum were determined at 13 sites in the Canterbury region that differed in particle size distribution ranging from sandy to muddy sediment, with overall10w organic content. Low tide salinity ranged from 5 to 33 0/00 between sites and sediment moisture content ranged between 23 to 41 % moisture. Amphipods were absent from most sites within the Avon-Heathcote Estuary. The availability, life history and fecundity of P. excavatum were compared from intertidal mudflat sites in Brooklands Lagoon and Kairaki over a period of thirteen months. Four sediment core samples were collected at monthly intervals and P. excavatum IS population structure and life history pattern studied. The life history til· <: of P. excavatum can be characterised bY fast-growing, annual, iteroporous, bivoltine, females ovigerous throughout the year and thelygenous (female biased) population. P. excavatum showed relative consistency in abundance throughout the year with monthly densities ranging from 875.79 per 0.1 m-2 (July) to 1754.77 per 0.1 m-2 (December) at Brooklands Lagoon and 1031.83 per 0.1 m2 (November) to 1780.24 per 0.1 m2 (December) at Kairaki. There was a linear relationship between numbers of eggs per female and female length.

Initially it was found only in Corio Bay, but during the past fiveyears it has spread so that it now occurs throughout the western half of Port Phillip Bay. • Densities of Sabella in many parts of the bay remain low but densities are usually higher (up to 13/m2 ) in deeper water and they extend into shallower depths in calmer regions. • Sabella larvae probably require a 'hard' surface (shell fragment, rock, seaweed, mollusc or sea squirt) for initial attachment, but subsequently they may use their own tube as an anchor in soft sediment . • Changes to fish communities following the establishment of Sabella were analysed using multidimensional scaling and BACI (Before, After, Control, Impact) design analyses of variance.

Diversity of New Zealand Deep-sea Amphipoda A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Waikato by MATTHEW ANDREW KNOX 2012 i ABSTRACT Biodiversity and the ecological and evolutionary processes which influence faunal distributions are poorly understood in deep-sea habitats. This thesis assesses diversity of deep-sea amphipod crustaceans at three taxonomic levels (family, species, genetic) on continental margins of New Zealand relative to environmental variables. Sampling was undertaken at 20 stations located on Chatham Rise and Challenger Plateau, two major geomorphic features with contrasting environmental conditions. In Chapter 1, total diversity of the >12,500 amphipods assessed at the family-level revealed high abundance (range: 44 – 2074 individuals 1000 m-2) and taxonomic richness (27 families). Amphipod assemblages at all stations were largely dominated by the same families.

Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e9288. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.4.e9288 Abstract Background The checklist of Mysida and Lophogastrida of Greece was created within the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS), which is one of the applications of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) resuming efforts to develop a complete checklist of species recorded and reported from Greek waters. The objectives of the present study were to update and cross-check taxonomically all records of Mysida and Lophogastrida species known to occur in Greek waters in order to search for inaccuracies and omissions. New information The up-to-date checklist of Mysida and Lophogastrida of Greece comprises 49 species, classified to 25 genera. © Koulouri P et al.
