Historic changes in Mediterranean and Black Sea marine biodiversity and ecosystems since Roman period until nowadays. Lan- guages, methodologies and perspectives”. The Summer School, initiated and organized by Prof. Ruthy Gertwagen, the co-ordinator and teams leader of the History of Marine An- imal Populations (HMAP) of Mediterranean and Black Sea programme, was held as “hosted activity” at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste (Italy); it was co-organised by Dr. Saša Raicevich, Dr. Otello Giovanardi and Dr. Tomaso Fortibuoni (ISPRA – Italian National Institute for Environmental Protection and Research; Chioggia, Italy), and by Dr. Simone Libralato and Dr. Cosimo Solidoro (OGS - Na- tional Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics; Trieste, Italy). The Summer School was funded by Sloan Foundation through HMAP, ISPRA, and the EU Network of Excellence EUR-OCEANS through OGS. Twenty-six students from a vast global spectrum of countries, including Europe (Italy, Greece, Poland, Romania, Austria, Croatia and Denmark), the Middle East (Israel), Northern Africa (Tunisia), South-Eastern Africa/The Horn of Africa (Eritrea), and the United States (Maine/Hampshire and Maryland/Washington) attended the Summer School. Among the students, that ranged from MA up to Ph.D. holding various academic positions, only two came from the Humanities. The team of speakers was international as well (UK, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Malta, Greece and Israel) and came from a wide spec- trum of disciplines, including: history, marine environmental history, marine ecological his- tory, archaeology, underwater archaeology, marine zoo-archaeology, ecology, oceanog- raphy and climate science. 1 Co-ordinator

  • The Department of Marine Biology Alumni Newsletter Keeping in Touch with the Marine Biology Department After You Graduate
    The Department of Marine Biology Alumni newsletter Keeping in touch with the Marine Biology Department after you graduate H. Nativ July 2020 Dear students and alumni, We had an exceptionally interesting and challenging academic year. We have started the year with a new faculty member, Dr. Tal Luzzatto Knaan, an expert in marine metabolomics, who studies microbial chemical communication in the sea. Our international MSc program was opened and currently our department has grown to about 60 MSc and PhD students from all over the world. Special greeting to our recently graduated students and to our three fresh PhDs: Dr. Maya Britstein, who has joined a start-up company (see below), Dr. Yotam Popovich, who has been very busy in disinfection and prevention of the Covid-19 pandemic in the last few month and Dr. Sophi Marmen, who continued to postdoctoral research. As in previous years, this past fall we had another wonderful academic get-together that included excellent talks and posters. It was a great joy for me to be part of such an event, providing a unique opportunity to get to know the new students and to learn more about each other in an informal setting. The 7th Haifa Conference on the Mediterranean Sea Research “Food from the Sea – Towards 2050 and beyond” took place in January, headed by Prof. Muki Shpigel, Prof. Ariel Diamant and Dr. Amir Neori, who have joined our Department as Research Fellows. Spring 2020 was a very unique semester, as we had to navigate through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has been a challenge for everyone involved, students, faculty and staff.

  • Banded Murex and Purple Dye Murex) in the Ria Formosa Lagoon (Algarve Coast, Southern Portugal)
    SCIENTIA MARINA 72(2) June 2008, 287-298, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 The artisanal fishery for muricid gastropods (banded murex and purple dye murex) in the Ria Formosa lagoon (Algarve coast, southern Portugal) PAULO VASCONCELOS 1, SUSANA CARVALHO 1, MARGARIDA CASTRO 2 and MIGUEL B. GASPAR 1 1 Instituto Nacional de Recursos Biológicos / IPIMAR, Avenida 5 de Outubro s/n, P-8700-305 Olhão, Portugal. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Centro de Ciências do Mar, Universidade do Algarve, P-8005-139 Faro, Portugal. SUMMARY: The artisanal fishery for muricid gastropods in the Ria Formosa lagoon (Algarve coast, southern Portugal) is a locally important fishing activity because the banded murex Hexaplex( trunculus) and the purple dye murex (Bolinus brandaris) are greatly appreciated seafoods with high commercial value in the Portuguese seafood market. An integrated study was implemented to monitor the muricid gastropod fishery with the artisanal fishing gear (“wallet-line”) through monthly experimental fishing operations carried out during one year.T he aim was to describe the fishing operations and fish- ing gear, to estimate the fishing yield, to characterise the target species catch composition, and to identify by-catch species and discards. The “wallet-line” is neither a species-specific nor a size-selective fishing gear, because the catches comprised a variety of by-catch species and a high proportion of commercially under-sized target species. The vast majority of the by-catch is discarded immediately on board, so mortality is presumably negligible. The CPUE of both target species and by-catch species decreased during consecutive fishing days, mainly due to declining bait attraction.

The shell length at first sexual maturity (SL50) of B. brandaris was also investigated using a macroscopic maturation scale. The population’s sex ratio was statistically skewed (M:F = 1:1.5), with a significant dominance of females over males. Monthly variations in the maturation stages of gonads, K and GSI showed that B. brandaris has an annual reproductive cycle, a long period of gonadal activity and a slight asynchronicity between the sexes. The spawning season comprised the period between April and July, with a clear spawning peak from May to June.

Sea urchin tethering has been the method of choice to evaluate rates of predation in marine benthic ecosystems. As standardly practiced, this method involves piercing the urchin test, potentially introducing significant methodological artifacts that may influence survival or detection by predators. Here we assess possible artifacts of tethering comparing invasive (pierced) and non-invasive tethering techniques using the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. Specifically we looked at how degree of confinement and high water temperature (first order artifacts), and predator guild and size of the prey (second order artifacts) affect the survival and/or detectability of pierced urchins. Our results show that first order artifacts only arise when pierced sea urchins are placed in sheltered bays with confined waters, especially when water temperature reaches extremely high levels.

    NOVAPEX / Société 20(1), 10 mars 2019 3 Colloque « Du pourpre à la pourpre » 13 & 14 octobre 2018 « Maison Pelgrims » à 1060 Bruxelles Compte-rendu de Roland SCAILLET Pour les membres de la SRBM qui pratiquent couramment le Phénicien ancien, le titre de ce compte-rendu est limpide, pour les autres, lecture de droite à gauche oblige, il signifie « Pourpre de Carthage ». Les 13 & 14 octobre 2018 se tenait à Saint-Gilles (1060-Bruxelles), dans la « Maison Pelgrims » (Fig. 11B), un colloque intitulé « Du pourpre à la pourpre » (Fig. 11A), consacré à ce pigment mythique. Il était organisé par « Nuances de plantes » (*) une ASBL dédiée à la Couleur Végétale qui se veut être un outil de travail de référence et de rayonnement pour la teinture végétale en Belgique. Si les pigments végétaux sont majoritairement utilisés pour teindre les tissus, il en est aussi certains d’origine animale : par exemple, le carmin (pour le rouge) extrait de la cochenille Kermes vermilio et la pourpre (pour le violet) produite par des gastéropodes marins de la famille des Muricidae. Dans l’Antiquité, cette dernière fit la richesse du monde phénicien. Il était donc écrit que cette ASBL ferait appel à la Société Royale Belge de Malacologie pour illustrer le thème du colloque en lui demandant de prêter des spécimens de coquilles produisant de la pourpre afin de les exposer au vu de tous. Roland Houart, Christiane Delongueville et Roland Scaillet étaient les mieux placés pour sélectionner ces espèces de Muricidae issues de toutes les régions du globe et de l’Europe en particulier.

  • Who Played a Key Role During the Development of Our Modern-Day Taxonomy and How Does the World Register of Marine Species Contribute to This?
    Report Who played a key role during the development of our modern-day taxonomy and how does the World Register of Marine Species contribute to this? By Daisy ter Bruggen Module LKZ428VNST1 Project internship Van Hall Larenstein, Agora 1, 8934 AL Leeuwarden [email protected] Abstract: Our Western taxonomy officially began with Linnaeus. Nevertheless, equally important discoveries and research has been done long before the Linnaean system was introduced. Aristotle and Linnaeus are two of the most well-known names in history when discussing taxonomy and without them the classification system we use today might have never existed at all. Their interest, research and knowledge in nature was influenced by their upbringing and played a major factor in the running of their lives. Introduction The definition of taxonomy according to the Convention on Biological Diversity “Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms and includes all plants, animals and microorganisms of the world” (2019). Aristotle and Linnaeus are two of the most well-known names in history when discussing taxonomy and without them the classification system we use today might have never existed at all.

    The Value of Colour Shiyanthi Thavapalan David A. Warburton (eds.) Thavapalan / Warburton (eds.) The Value of Colour of Value The (eds.) / Warburton Thavapalan BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD , an interdisciplinary group of scholars come together to examine economically relevant questions concerning a narrow slice of social and cognitive history: namely, colours. Traditionally, the study of colours has been approached from a cultural or linguistic perspective. The essays collected in this volume highlight the fact that in earliest human history, colours appear in contexts of prestige (value) and com- merce. Acquisition, production, labour, circulation and consumption are among the issues discussed by individ- ual authors to show how colourful materials acquired meaning in the ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean worlds. Spanning the Palaeolithic to the early Imperial Rome, the contributions also demonstrate the many questions asked and approaches used by historians in the growing fi eld of Colour Studies.
