This project aims to streamline taxonomic classification of Ulva species through DNA sequence analysis. Local samples of Ulva were obtained from Puget Sound, Seattle, WA, and two target genes (rbcL and its1) were amplified via PCR and sequenced for comparative analysis between samples. Ulvoids have a detrimental impact on marine ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest due to their role in eutrophication-caused algal blooms, and reliable identification can help inform conservation efforts to mitigate these effects.

In addition, increasing intercontinental introductions of coastal marine organisms, including Ulva, are also a serious issue. However, due to the considerable morphological plasticity of this genus, the taxonomy of Ulva species based on morphological stud- ies is problematic. Therefore, in order to elucidate the species diversity and seasonal changes of the dominant Ulva species in Mikawa Bay, central Honshu, Japan, we made seasonal collections of Ulva species at seven localities, and identified the dominant species using the ITS2 rDNA region sequences. We identified the following nine taxa as common Ulva species in the area: 1) Ulva pertusa Kjellman; 2) U. ohnoi Hiraoka et Shimada; 3) U. linza L.; 4) U. califor- nica Wille; 5) U. flexuosa Wulfen; 6) U. fasciata Delile; 7) U. compressa L.; 8) U. armoricana Dion et al.; 9) U. scandinavica Bliding. Among the species, U. pertusa was most common and dominant from spring to summer, and U. ohnoi from autumn to winter. Ulva californica and U.

Morphological Species Concept Portfolios Northeast Algal Society Phycology Lab Manual
Northeast Algal Society Phycology Lab Manual Lab Activity: Tools and Concepts for Exploring Algal Biodiversity: Using Dichotomous Keys in Reverse to understand the Morphological Species Concept Developed by: Dr. Brian Wysor, Roger Williams University, Department of Biology, Marine Biology & Environmental Science Contact: [email protected] Learning Objectives By the end of this laboratory activity, students should be able to: 1. Describe 3 criteria by which species can be differentiated from one another. 2. Define the biological and morphological species concepts and highlight the limitations of their application to different organismal groups. 3. Systematically compare the morphology of algae specimens to decide whether they constitute one or more than one species. 4. Use dichotomous keys to identify diagnostic morphological, cytological, anatomical, and/or reproductive characters useful for distinguishing species of algae. Assessment Method Students will produce 3 illustration sets that highlight diagnostic morphological features to distinguish one or more species. Instructor Notes Materials or supplies required: Macroalgae samples from one to two sites (can be collected by students if time permits, or as homework for students to bring to lab); plastic baggies for sample collection; waders and snorkeling gear, as appropriate; razor blades for preparing hand sections; microscope slides, coverslips and cytological stains, if used. Equipment required: Compound light microscopes (with camera, if available); seawater, sorting trays, thumb pipettes and watch bowls. Techniques required (those which are not taught during the activity but students must already have a working knowledge): Microscopy skills, hand sectioning, use of dichotomous keys. Time required: The basic laboratory activity can be completed in a single 2-3 hours laboratory period, but the development of the biodiversity portfolio project in which intra- and/or interspecies morphological variation is documented will be developed over the course of a 3-4 week laboratory sequence.

All rights reserved. This Thesis for the Master of Environmental Studies Degree by Audrey Lamb has been approved for The Evergreen State College by ________________________ Erin Martin, Ph. D. Member of the Faculty ________________________ Date ABSTRACT UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF SEA LETTUCE (Ulva spp.) DENSITY ON PACIFIC OYSTER (Crassostrea gigas) GROWTH IN PUGET SOUND, WASHINGTON Audrey Lamb Biofouling, or the growth of other species besides the cultured species on aquaculture gear is a frequent challenge for shellfish farmers. In areas with dense macroalgae growth, shellfish farmers can frequently spend considerable time managing macroalgae through manual removal from aquaculture gear, particularly during sensitive life stages such as seed cultivation. However, there is little research examining the effects of macroalgae density on oyster growth and survival, and as such, it is unclear if these manual removal techniques are actually needed. This study investigated the relationship between sea lettuce (Ulva spp.) density and Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) growth and survival on two commercial oyster farms in Puget Sound in hopes of improving the understanding of the necessity for macroalgae removal. Juvenile C. gigas were grown in the North Hood Canal and South Puget Sound from April through October 2015 in grow bags with different added wet weights of Ulva spp. (3 kg, 1.5 kg, 0 kg).

The species is currently the largest aquaculture (2884.61 tonnes) product by weight with a corresponding capacity for biogas (CH4) production. We have shown that biotransformation of U. armoricana to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is viable and economically feasible as a clean fuel. pH toxicity tests showed that U. armoricana can be used as a health index, under potentially increased CO2 concentrations that can occur in IMTA carbon sequestration. We have shown sporulation to be the morphological response to environmental stress, which is indicative of chlorophyll degradation and a reduction in the photosynthetic activity of the alga.
