  • Sulphated Saponins from the Starfish Luidia Senegalensis Collected As By-Catch Fauna
    SULPHATED SAPONINS FROM THE STARFISH LUIDIA SENEGALENSIS COLLECTED AS BY-CATCH FAUNA Marcelo M.P. Tangerina, Júlia P. Cesário, Gerson R.R. Pereira, Tânia M. Costa, Wagner C. Valenti and Wagner Vilegas UNESP- Paulista State University, Paulista Coastal Campus , Praça Infante Dom Henrique s/n, São Vicente, São Paulo, CEP: 11330-900, Brazil. [email protected] Abstract: The by-catch fauna of the shrimp fishery includes a number of marine invertebrates that are discarded because they do not have commercial value. In order to try to add some value to these materials, we analyzed the chemical composition of the starfish Luidia senegalensis (Luidiidae, Asteroidea: Paxillosida) collected in the Brazilian coast as a consequence of the trawling fishery method. In order to access their chemical composition, we used a combination of solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-IT-MS n). Luidia spp. contains mainly asterosaponins, which are the glycosides derived from the polyhydroxysteroids. Four asterosaponins found in L. senegalensis present a ∆9,11 -3β,6 α- steroidal core, with four rings, a sulphate group at C3, one oxo group at the side chain, and five or six sugar moieties attached to C-6 (Aglycone 1) [C 62 H101 O33 SNa MW 1428; C 62 H101 O32 SNa MW 1412; 24,25 C56 H91 O27 SNa MW 1250 (two isomers)]; a fifth saponin presented an additional double bond at ∆ (Aglycone 2) [C 55 H87 O27 SNa MW 1262]. Sulphated steroidal saponins present several biological activities, like hemolytic, antineoplastic, cytotoxic, antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral antifungal and anti-inflammatory [1].

  • Thirteen New Records of Marine Invertebrates and Two of Fishes from Cape Verde Islands
    Thirteen new records of marine invertebrates and two of fishes from Cape Verde Islands PETER WIRTZ Wirtz, P. 2009. Thirteen new records of marine invertebrates and two of fishes from Cape Verde Islands. Arquipélago. Life and Marine Sciences 26: 51-56. The sea anemones Actinoporus elegans Duchassaing, 1850 and Anthothoe affinis (Johnson, 1861) are new records from Cape Verde Islands. Also new to the marine fauna of Cape Verde are an undescribed mysid species of the genus Heteromysis that lives in association with the polychaete Branchiomma nigromaculata, the shrimp Tulearicoaris neglecta Chace, 1969 that lives in association with the sea urchin Diadema antillarum, an undescribed nudibranch of the genus Hypselodoris, and two undescribed species of the parasitic gastropod genus Melanella and Melanella cf. eburnea. An undescribed plathelmint of the genus Pseudobiceros, the nudibranch Phyllidia flava (Aradas, 1847) and the parasitic gastropod Echineulima leucophaes (Tomlin & Shackleford, 1913) are recorded, based on colour photos taken in the field. The crab Nepinnotheres viridis Manning, 1993 was encountered in the bivalve Pseudochama radians, which represents the first host record for this pinnotherid species. The nudibranch Tambja anayana, previously only known from a single animal, was reencountered and photographed alive. The sea anemone Actinoporus elegans, previously only known from the western Atlantic, is also reported here from São Tomé Island. In addition, the bythiid fish Grammonus longhursti and an undescribed species of the genus Apletodon are recorded from the Cape Verde Islands for the first time. Key words: Anthozoa, Gastropoda, marine biodiversity, Plathelmintes, São Tomé Peter Wirtz (e-mail: [email protected]), Centro de Ciências do Mar, Universidade do Algarve, Campus de Gambelas, PT-8005-139 Faro, Portugal.

  • Growth, Regeneration, and Damage Repair of Spines of the Slate-Pencil Sea Urchin Heterocentrotus Mammillatus (L.) (Echinodermata: Echinoidea)!
    Pacific Science (1988), vol. 42, nos. 3-4 © 1988 by the University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved Growth, Regeneration, and Damage Repair of Spines of the Slate-Pencil Sea Urchin Heterocentrotus mammillatus (L.) (Echinodermata: Echinoidea)! THOMAS A. EBERT2 ABSTRACT: Spines of sea urchins are appendages that are associated with defense, locomotion, and food gathering. Spines are repaired when damaged, and the dynamics of repair was studied in the slate-pencil sea urchin Hetero­ centrotus mammillatus to provide insights not only into the processes of healing . but also into the normal growth of spines and the formation of growth lines. Regeneration of spines on tubercles following complete removal of a spine was slow and depended upon the size of the original spine. The maximum amount of regeneration occurred on tubercles with spines of intermediate size (1.6 g), which, on average, developed regenerated spines weighing 0.1, 0.3, and 0.7 g after 4, 8, and 12 months, respectively. Some large tubercles, which had original spines weighing over 3 g, failed to develop a new spine even after 8-12 months. Regeneration ofa new tip on a cut stump was more rapid than production of a new spine on a tubercle . Regeneration to original size was more rapid for small spines than for large spines, but large stumps produced more calcite per unit time. In 4 months, a small spine with a removed tip weighing 0.15 g regenerated a new tip weighing 0.09 g, or 63% of its original weight. In the same time, a large spine with 2.35 g of tip removed regenerated 0.40 g of new tip, or 17% of the original weight.

  • Columnals (PDF)
    2248 22482 2 4 V. INDEX OF COLUMNALS 8 Remarks: In this section the stratigraphic range given under the genus is the compiled range of all named species based solely on columnals assigned to the genus. It should be noted that this range may and often differs considerably from the range given under the same genus in Section I, because that range is based on species identified on cups or crowns. All other abbreviations and format follow that of Section I. Generic names followed by the type species are based on columnals. Genera, not followed by the type species, are based on cups and crowns as given in Section I. There are a number of unlisted columnal taxa from the literature that are indexed as genera recognized on cups and crowns. Bassler and Moodey (1943) did not index columnal taxa that were not new names or identified genera with the species unnamed. I have included some of the omissions of Bassler and Moodey, but have not made a search of the extensive literature specifically for the omitted citations because of time constraints. Many of these unlisted taxa are illustrated in the early state surveys of the eastern and central United States. Many of the columnal species assigned to genera based on cups or crowns are incorrect assignments. An uncertain, but significant, number of the columnal genera are synonyms of other columnal genera as they are based on different parts of the stem of a single taxon. Also a number of the columnal genera are synonyms of genera based on cups and crowns as they come from more distal parts of the stem not currently known to be associated with the cup or crown.

Around 1,500 living species of starfish occur on the seabed in all the world's oceans, from the tropics to subzero polar waters. They are found from the intertidal zone down to abyssal depths, 6,000m below the surface. Starfish typically have a central disc and five arms, though some species have a larger number of arms. The aboral or upper surface may be smooth, granular or spiny, and is covered with overlapping plates.

  • And Red Sea Urchins
    NEGATIVELY CORRELATED ABUNDANCE SUGGESTS COMPETITION BETWEEN RED ABALONE (Haliotis rufescens) AND RED SEA URCHINS (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ESTABLISHED MPAs CLOSED TO COMMERCIAL SEA URCHIN HARVEST IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA By Johnathan Centoni A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Biology Committee Membership Dr. Sean Craig, Committee Chair Dr. Brian Tissot, Committee Member Dr. Paul Bourdeau, Committee Member Dr. Joe Tyburczy, Committee Member Dr. Erik Jules, Program Graduate Coordinator May 2018 ABSTRACT NEGATIVELY CORRELATED ABUNDANCE SUGGESTS COMPETITION BETWEEN RED ABALONE (Haliotis rufescens) AND RED SEA URCHINS (Mesocentrotus franciscanus) INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ESTABLISHED MPAs CLOSED TO COMMERCIAL SEA URCHIN HARVEST IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Johnathan Centoni Red abalone and sea urchins are both important herbivores that potentially compete with each other for resources like food and space along the California coast. Red abalone supported a socioeconomically important recreational fishery during this study (which was closed in 2018) and red sea urchins support an important commercial fishery. Both red sea urchins and red abalone feed on the same macroalgae (including Pterygophora californica, Laminaria setchellii, Stephanocystis osmundacea, Costaria costata, Alaria marginata, Nereocystis leutkeana), and a low abundance of this food source during the period of this project may have created a highly competitive environment for urchins and abalone. Evidence that suggests competition between red abalone and red sea urchins can be seen within data collected during the years of this study (2014-2016): a significantly higher red sea urchin density, concomitant with a significantly lower red abalone density, was observed within areas closed to commercial sea urchin harvest (in MPAs) compared to nearby reference areas open to sea urchin harvest.

Rogers Chair of Advisory Panel: Dr. Martin Sheader “I think the Almighty put synallactids on this earth as some sort of punishment.” Dave Pawson DECLARATION This thesis is the result of work completed wholly while registered as a postgraduate in the School of Ocean and Earth Science, University of Southampton. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF SCIENCE SCHOOL OF OCEAN AND EARTH SCIENCE Doctor of Philosophy Systematics and Phylogeny of the Holothurian Family Synallactidae By Francisco Alonso Solís-Marín The sea cucumbers of the family Synallactidae (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) are mostly restricted to the deep sea. They comprise of approximately 131 species, about one-third of all known deep-sea holothurian species. Many species are morphologically similar, making their identification and classification difficult. The aim of this study is to present the phylogeny of the family Synallactidae based on DNA sequences of the mitochondrial large subunit rRNA (16S), cytochrome oxidase I (COI) genes and morphological taxonomy characters. In order to examine type specimens, corroborate distributional data and collect muscles tissues for the DNA analyses, 7 institutions that hold holothurian specimens were visited. For each synallactid species, selected synonymy, primary diagnosis, location of type material, type locality, distributional data (geographical and bathymetrical) and extra biological information were extracted from the primary references.
