    Sea Cucumber Abundance, Diversity and Fisheries in Samoa; an Assessment of Lagoon Occurring Sea Cucumbers

    2006-05-17 Sea cucumber abundance, diversity and fisheries in Samoa; an assessment of lagoon occurring sea cucumbers Part I: A wide approached survey to assess status of commercial beche-de-mer species in Samoa. & Part II: The subsistence and artisanal sea cucumber fishery, with particular focus on Stichopus horrens, in Samoa. B.G.H. Eriksson Preface This study was performed in Samoa from 2005-09-20 to 2005-12-20 and finalises my university studies at Uppsala University towards an M.Sc in Biology. The work presented in this paper came about after a series of events and I owe greatly to all of those that are mentioned in the acknowledgement section. During 2005 a request was put forward to The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) from the Samoan Fisheries Division to perform a survey on the coastal resources (including sea cucumber resources) around the country of Samoa in the South Pacific. The coastal component of the Pacific Region Oceanic and Coastal Fisheries (PROCFish/C) section of SPC started up this work in collaboration with the Samoan Fisheries Division in June and August 2005 and covered finfish and invertebrate resources in parts of Upolu and Savaii. The invertebrate surveys included fisheries dependent and fisheries independent data collection. The fisheries independent surveys were in-water assessments of stock and habitat in grounds that was pre-selected because of fishing activities in that area. The data collected was generally density estimates (incl. species composition) across shifting habitats, but also biological data, such as length and weight measurements. Alongside this information fishery dependent data was also collected.

  • Predator Defense Mechanisms in Shallow Water Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea)

    Predator Defense Mechanisms in Shallow Water Sea Cucumbers (Holothuroidea)

    PREDATOR DEFENSE MECHANISMS IN SHALLOW WATER SEA CUCUMBERS (HOLOTHUROIDEA) JESSICA A. CASTILLO Environmental Science Policy and Management, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 USA Abstract. The various predator defense mechanisms possessed by shallow water sea cucumbers were surveyed in twelve different species and morphs. While many defense mechanisms such as the presence of Cuverian tubules, toxic secretions, and unpalatability have been identified in holothurians, I hypothesized that the possession of these traits as well as the degree to which they are utilized varies from species to species. The observed defense mechanisms were compared against a previously-derived phylogeny of the sea cucumbers of Moorea. Furthermore, I hypothesized that while the presence of such structures is most likely a result of the species’ placement on a phylogenetic tree, the degree to which they utilize such structures and their physical behavior are influenced by their individual ecologies. The presence of a red liquid secretion was restricted to individuals of the genus Holothuria (Linnaeus 1767) however not all members of the genus exhibited this trait. With the exception of H. leucospilota, which possessed both Cuverian tubules and a red secretion, Cuverian tubules were observed in members of the genus Bohadschia (Ostergren 1896). In accordance with the hypothesis, both the phylogenetics and individual ecology appear to influence predator defense mechanisms. However, even closely related species of similar ecology may differ considerably. Key words: holothurians; defense; toxicity; Cuverian tubules; Moorea, French Polynesia INTRODUCTION (Sakthivel et. Al, 1994). Approximately 20 species in two families and five genera, Sea cucumbers belong to the phylum including Holothuria, Bohadschia, and Thenelota, Echinodermata and the class Holothuroidea.

    <I>Bartholomea Annulata</I>

    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 37(3): 893-904,1985 CORAL REEF PAPER TWO MORE SIBLING SPECIES OF ALPHEID SHRIMPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CARIBBEAN SEA ANEMONES BARTHOLOMEA ANNULATA AND HETERACTIS LUCIDA Nancy Knowlton and Brian D. Keller ABSTRACT We have described two new species of snapping shrimp, Alpheus polystictus and A. ro- quensis. The new species form part of a complex of four sibling species associated with Caribbean sea anemones, the others being the well-known A. armatus Rathbun, 1900 and the recently describedA. immaculatus Knowlton and Keller, 1983. Alpheus roquensis is found with the anemone Heteractis lucida. while the other three shrimps live with Bartholomea annulata. In laboratory choice experiments, each shrimp species prefers the species of an em- one with which it is typically found in the field, although each can shelter under the other species of anemone. All four species are extremely similar morphologically, being distin- guished largely on the basis of color pattern. The validity of the species is confirmed by the total absence of interbreeding; heterospecific male-female pairs are never found in the field, and it is impossible to force pairings between species in the laboratory. Alpheus polystictus is rare in Jamaica and Haiti, while in Venezuela it is sometimes the dominant species to depths of 10 m. In the areas examined, it has always occurred with at least one of the other two Bartholomea associates. The geographic distribution of A. roquensis is more limited, as there are no reports of alpheids associated with Heteractis lucida, and none has been found with this anemone in Jamaica.

    APPENDIX 1 Resources for Training in Reef Monitoring Skills Suggested Training Plan the Entire Training Course Can Actually Be Taught in a Week’S Time

    APPENDIX 1 Resources for training in reef monitoring skills Suggested training plan The entire training course can actually be taught in a weeks time. However, it is recommended that the training be spread over the course of 3 years in order to allow the team sufficient time to practice under supervision and to allow the study area to actually change in response to management activities enough to be observed. If a community is being trained by external trainers, at least two visits by them should be planned for each year. The trainees should be encouraged to collect data 2 to 4 times a year (i.e. once per season) together with their local development workers. Year & Scheduled Activities Ongoing Season Activities Year 1. Season 1. Introduce the idea of participatory monitoring & evaluation to (e.g. Nov.-Mar.) key community leaders. Check the site for appropriate biophysical and socioeconomic conditions, logistics, and counterpart arrangements and offer to conduct the training. Year 1. Season 2. Review of basic reef ecology and management. Teach Chapters (e.g. Apr.-May) 1-4 and the data collection and recording steps of Chapters 5- 3-4 days 9.

  • Gilbertese and Ellice Islander Names for Fishes and Other Organisms

    Gilbertese and Ellice Islander Names for Fishes and Other Organisms

    Gilbertese and Ellice Islander Names for Fishes and Other Organisms PHIL S. LOBEL Museum of Comparative Zoology Har vard University Cambridge. Massachusel/s 02138 Abstract.- A compilation of 254 Gilbertese and 153 Ellice Island~r fish names is given which includes names for species from sixty families of fishes. The Gilbertese names (25) and Ellice Islander names ( 17) are also given for anatomical parts of fishes. Gilbertese names for lizards (3), marine invertebrates (95) and algae (2) are listed. The names were compiled from the literature and from interviews with Gilbertese and Ellice Islander fisherman living on Fanning Island in the Line Islands. Introduction Names used by Pacific Islanders for fishes are well known only for Hawaiians (Titcomb, 1953), Tahitians (Randall, 1973) and Palauans (Helfman and Randall, 1973). Banner and Randall (1952) and Randall (1955) have reported some Gilbertese names for invertebrates and fishes, but these were relatively few. A listing ofGilbertese names for plants and animals was compiled from the literature by Goo and Banner ( 1963), but unfortunately this work was never published. To my knowledge, no lists of Ellice Islander names have yet been published. I have compiled the common names used by the people of Fanning Atoll, Line Islands. The people are of Gilbertese and Ellice Islander descent having been brought to the Atoll within the last 50 years to work for the copra plantation. In addition, I have included previously published names to make this listing as complete as possible. I add about 200 new Gilbertese and 150 Ellice Islander names. I have not included names for terrestrial plants (see Moul 1957 for these).
