  • Historical Development of the Mafia Island Marine Park
    HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAFIA ISLAND MARINE PARK: The idea of establishing a marine park at Mafia Island began in the 1960s when recommendations were made for the protection of coastal areas and marine resources in Tanzania through the establishment of marine parks, reserves and sanctuaries. These resulted in the declaration of eight small reserves along the Tanzanian coast under the Fisheries (Marine Reserves) Regulations of 1975, two of these are in what is now the Mafia Island marine Park (MIMP), namely Chole Bay and Kitutia Reef. The small size of these areas and the lack of financial and human resources for enforcement meant that the marine reserves were essentially paper parks; Dynamite fishing and other destructive and unsustainable resource utilization continued unabated. The inadequacy of management of these small areas led to the realization that the creation of a larger marine protected area would make it possible to combine conservation of reefs and other key coastal and marine areas with; management or resources to ensure sustainable long term local economic development. From 188, baseline studies were conducted through the frontier-Tanzania project, a collaborative programme of the University of Dar es salaam (including the institute of Marine Sciences, Zanzibar) and a UK-based conservation research organization. The studies aimed to determine the use could be sustainable. The results provided important baseline information for developing recommendations for the marine park management plan. In 1991,the Principal Secretaries of the Ministry of Tourism, Natural Resources and Environment appointed a steering Committee to oversee the development of the marine park. The Committee included representatives from the fisheries division, the Institute of Marine Science (IMS), the MP for Mafia, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Regional Natural Resources office (Coast Region), and wildlife Conservation Society for Tanzania.

Zoological Studies 51(8): 1490-1506. This study reports on (1) variations in the number and position of scleral ossicles in 283 actinopterygian species representing 172 families, (2) the distribution of the morphological variants of these bony elements, (3) the phylogenetic significance of these variations, and (4) a phylogenetic hypothesis relevant to the position of the Callionymoidei, Dactylopteridae, and Syngnathoidei based on these osteological variations. The results suggest that the Callionymoidei (not including the Gobiesocidae), Dactylopteridae, and Syngnathoidei are closely related. This conclusion was based on the apomorphic character state of having only the anterior scleral ossicle. Having only the anterior scleral ossicle should have evolved independently in the Syngnathioidei + Dactylopteridae + Callionymoidei, Gobioidei + Apogonidae, and Pleuronectiformes among the actinopterygians studied in this paper. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/51.8/1490.pdf Key words: Scleral ossicle, Actinopterygii, Phylogeny.

In “The Secret Lives of Seahorses,” the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s new special exhibition, you’ll discover that nothing could be further from the truth. Beginning April 6, more than 15 species of seahorses, sea dragons, pipehorses and pipefish will beckon visitors into the elusive world of these charismatic creatures. The Secret Lives of Seahorses highlights the varied habitats in which seahorses and their relatives live, and shares important stories about the threats they face in the wild. “Seahorses are wonderful ambassadors for ocean conservation because they live in the most endangered habitats in the world – coral reefs, sea grass beds and mangrove forests,” said Ava Ferguson, senior exhibit developer for The Secret Lives of Seahorses. “When you save a seahorse, you also save some of Earth’s most precious marine habitats.” Through wrought-iron gates, visitors will enter the first gallery, “Seahorses and Kin,” and meet the seahorse family: fishes that have fused jaws and bony plates in place of the scales normally associated with fish.

  • SAIA List of Ecologically Unsustainable Species
    SAIA List of Ecologically Unsustainable Species Note The aquarium fishery in Southeast Asia contributes to the destruction of coral reefs. Although illegal, the use of cyanide to stun fish is still widespread, especially for species that seek shelter between coral branches, in holes, and among rocks (like damsels or gobies), but also those occurring at greater depths (e.g., dwarf angels, some anthias) or the ones fetching high prices (like angelfish or surgeonfish). While ideally the dosage is only intended to stun the targeted fish, it is often sufficient to kill the non-targeted invertebrates building the reef. As such, is a destructive fishing method, banned by regulation in Indonesia and the Philippines. Fish caught with cyanide are a product of illegal fishing. According to EU Regulation, the import of products from illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is prohibited.* Similarly, the Lacey Act, a conservation law in the United States, prohibits trade in wildlife, fish, and plants that have been illegally taken, possessed, transported, or sold. However, enforcing these laws is difficult because there is insufficient control in both the countries of origin and in the markets. Therefore, the likelihood of purchasing a product from illegal fishing is real. Ask your dealer about the origin of the offered animals and insist on sustainable fishing methods! Inadequate or deficient fishery management is another, often underestimated, problem of aquarium fisheries in South East Asia. Many fish come from unreported and unregulated fisheries. For most coral fish species, but also invertebrates, no data exist. The status of local populations and catch volumes are thus unknown.
