Genetic Diversity Of Pyramimonas From Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan (Chlorophyceae, Pyramimonadales), Shoichiro Suda, Mohammad Azmal Hossain Bhuiyan, Daphne Georgina Faria
Genetic Diversity Of Pyramimonas From Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan (Chlorophyceae, Pyramimonadales), Shoichiro Suda, Mohammad Azmal Hossain Bhuiyan, Daphne Georgina Faria
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The genus Pyramimonas Schmarda was traditionally described on observations of its periplast and internal structure of different flagellar apparatus or eyespot orientations and currently comprises of ca. 60 species that are divided into six subgenera: Pyramimonas, Vestigifera, Trichocystis, Punctatae, Hexactis, and Macrura. In order to understand the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of genus Pyramimonas members, we analyzed nuclear SSU rDNA molecular data from 41 strains isolated from different locations of the Ryukyu Archipelago. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that strains could be segregated into six clades, four of which represented existing subgenera: Pyramimonas, Vestigifera McFadden, Trichocystis McFadden, and Punctatae McFadden, and …
Life History Of The Copepod Paramphiascella Sp. Affected By Hydrothermal Vent Effluents, Hans-Uwe Dahms, Li-Chun Tseng, Jiang-Shiou Hwang
Life History Of The Copepod Paramphiascella Sp. Affected By Hydrothermal Vent Effluents, Hans-Uwe Dahms, Li-Chun Tseng, Jiang-Shiou Hwang
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
Toxicity of Hydrothermal vent (HV) effluents was tested by investigating the effect on growth and reproduction of the copepod Paramphiascella sp. which was collected and subsequently cultured from localities nearby a shallow marine HV at Kueishan Tao Island, Taiwan. Ontogenetic stages (nauplii, copepodids, and adults) were exposed to a range of concentrations of HV effluents in a static renewal culture system. In a first of two experiments we tested the survivorship of these in HV effluent dilutions from 1 to 50%. HV effluents significantly reduced the survivorship of the naupliar stages at concentrations >5% for Paramphiascella sp. (p < 0.01) and all nauplii died at concentrations of 25% and 50%. Copepodids were significantly letally affected at concentrations >5% (p < 0.01) and all died at 50% (p < 0.01). Developmental duration in Paramphiascella was showing a trend of developmental delay in both phases, in the naupliar and in the copepodid phase. Mortality showed a greater sensitivity to chemical exposure than development time. Among both traits were early developmental stages of Paramphiascella sp. more sensitive to HV effluents than advanced stages. We showed that Paramphiascella sp. was a useful test organism in the monitoring of life cycle as well as acute effects of HV effluents being present for millions of years and providing unique ecosystems. Mortality was a useful toxicological endpoint whereas developmental duration was not.

Journal of Marine Science and Technology
Coral-inhabiting gall crabs are either obligate symbionts or parasitic associates with their host corals. They form a variety of galls/pits inside the skeleton of living corals. Nine genera of gall crabs on several scleractinian corals were used to test the hypothesis that galls vary among cryptochirid genera. Phylogenetic and morphometric observations were combined to analyze the possible evolutionary significance of gall construction. A high degree of conservation of gall shapes was observed in relation to the gall crabs’ phylogeny. Gall/pit morphology and fidelity was studied in each of the different species of gall crabs. In addition, the correlation analysis results …

The Catch
Reflection of the author as a worker looking to make the best use of his time and energy. His innate understanding of the principles of ecological economics followed by exposure to the discipline’s advancing theories leads to a revelation regarding the backwards logic of fisheries and aquaculture policy thus far, and the decline in real seafood production.Along with many others, Molyneaux looks to ecological economics to create a new paradigm for sustainable fisheries.

Journal of Marine Science and Technology
Egg abundance of Maurolicus japonicus, a dominant mesopelagic fish in the Japan Sea, was analyzed during 1981-2005 as an index of the spawning-adult abundance. There was a major change in egg abundance around 1988/1989, with negative anomalies occurring during 1981-1988 and positive anomalies occurring from l989. At about the same time (1986/1987), the Tsushima Current shifted from cold to warm conditions. Environmental indices were found to be positively correlated with egg abundance two years later. Our results suggest that the abundance of M. japonicus is affected by climatic regime shifts, and that it could be used as an indicator species.

Objectives were to model fish species richness relative to natural and anthropogenic variables in Quantico Creek, a forested undisturbed stream environment, and Cameron Run, a highly disturbed urban stream environment in the lower Piedmont-Fall Line region of the Potomac River watershed. Species richness in all stream orders (e.g. avg. range=2.5-9.65 in 1st-3rd orders) of Quantico Creek were significantly higher than those (e.g. avg. range=2.1- 7.6 in 1st -4th orders) of Cameron Run. Fish species richness in Quantico Creek watershed can be modeled by eight factors: season, stream order, elevation, river km, stream width and depth, watershed size, and percent of …

Additions To The Taiwan Marine Eel Fauna With First Records Of Three Rare Moray Eels (Anguilliformes: Muraenidae), Kar-Hoe Loh, Kwang-Tsao Shao, Hong-Ming Chen
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The specimens of three new records of moray eels (Anguilliformes: Muraenidae) were identified for the first time off the eastern (Changbin) and southern (Kenting) coast of Taiwan. They were Enchelynassa canina (Quoy and Gaimard), Gymnothorax elegans Bliss and Gymnothorax fuscomaculatus (Schultz). The monotypic genus Enchelynassa which had only one species in the genus was also a newly recorded genus to Taiwan. In this paper, we reported the three rare moray species, included diagnostic characters and the fresh coloration on whole body, head, dorsal and ventral sides; as well as their dentitions; and the key to the relative species.

Reaching Into The Past For Future Resilience: Recovery Efforts In Maine Rivers And Coastal Waters, John Lichter, Ted Ames
Maine Policy Review
John Lichter and Ted Ames discuss how analysis of environmental histories of human activities affecting Maine’s estuary, river, and coastal marine ecosystems can shed light on the role key fish species may play. Through Maine’s Sustainability Solutions Initiative, a group of researchers from Bowdoin, Bates, University of Southern Maine, and Penobscot East Resource Center have teamed up to examine ecological recovery in the state’s waterways and coastal fisheries. Several river restoration efforts were already underway, and others are being planned as a direct result of this interdisciplinary project.

Analysis Of The Me70 Multibeam Echosounder Data In Echoview??Urrent Capability And Future Directions, Myounghee Kang
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The general features of the multibeam echosounder (Simrad, ME70) are covered and trends in recent research on using the sonar systems are stated. Echoview's current capability for analyzing ME70 data is precisely described in two categories: split beam data analysis and multibeam data analysis. In particular, the visualization and analysis of school in three dimensions and school tracking are illustrated using fish school echoes observed in Bering Sea during the summer of 2008 and 2009. Future software developments in Echoview may include: high resolution bathymetric algorithms to detect reliable sea bottom, advanced school detection in three dimensions even for ambiguous …

Diel Distribution And Movement Of Sound Scattering Layer In Kuroshio Waters, Northeastern Taiwan, Ming-An Lee, Ming-Hsiu Chao, Jinn-Shing Weng, Yang-Chi Lan, Hsueh-Jung Lu
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
A 26-hr acoustic observation was carried out on board of the “Ocean Research II” in the Kuroshio waters at 123°09.027'E, 25°05.019'N from August 4 to 5, 2007. Acoustic volume scattering strengths (SVs) were collected by a scientific echo sounder (EK500, 38 kHz) and diel variations of sound scattering layer were analyzed. The maximum SV of surface scattering layers (SSL) around 20~80 m was observed after dawn, and mean SVs of SSL in nighttime was about -68 dB, 8 dB higher than that of daytime. Two deep scattering layers (DSL) were found in daytime at depth of 400~500 m and 600~700 …
Echo Integration Near The Seabed, Masahiko Furusawa
Echo Integration Near The Seabed, Masahiko Furusawa
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The echo integration (EI) method has long been used for fish abundance estimations. The method is applicable to any type of fish distribution and the analysis is easy to perform by advanced software. For fish near the seabed, however, sometimes it is difficult to perform an analysis because of so-called dead zones. In this paper, the EI near the seabed is considered, reviewing past studies and introducing some new ideas such as an unsampled zone. For the consideration, close inspection of the EI theory is necessary and a section is devoted to the purpose. As an application of the EI …

Fish Acoustics: Physics-Based Modeling And Measurement, Davis Benjamin Reeder
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The U.S. Office of Naval Research has sponsored research in the area of marine organism acoustics for many years. The research program has included development of theoretical physics-based acoustic scattering models of single animals, high-resolution laboratory measurements of scattering by individual animals, and at-sea field experiments. The program has been focused on the backscattered signal, but has also included investigation of the forward-scattered signal. Downward-looking acoustic surveys using ship borne echosounders rely on the backscattered signal and provide non-invasive, non-destructive, rapid, high-resolution, large area survey capability compared to traditional net tows. Horizontally-oriented acoustic surveys provide the opportunity to investigate both …

Vertical Distribution Of Walleye Pollock Juveniles Before And After The Period Of Transition For Feeding In Funka Bay, Hokkaido, Japan, Yohei Kawauchi, Osamu Shida, Hiroya Okumura, Naoki Tojo, Hiroki Yasuma, Kazushi Miyashita
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
We examined the vertical distributions of walleye pollock Theragra chalcogramma juveniles for two size groups (smaller and larger than 30 mm) during the period of transition for feeding (PTF) and after this period in Funka Bay, Hokkaido, Japan. Samplings were conducted in May and June in 2006 and 2007, and water temperature and salinity were measured. The correlation between juvenile sizes and distributed depth was observed using net sampling. From this result, size groups were divided by depth. In addition, the distribution and abundance of juveniles were examined using acoustic data. In the PTF (May), juvenile size increased with increasing …

In Situ And Ex Situ Target Strength Measurement Of Mesopelagic Lanternfish, Diaphus Theta (Family Myctophidae), Kouichi Sawada, Kazuhisa Uchikawa, Tomohiko Matsuura, Hiroya Sugisaki, Kazuo Amakasu, Koki Abe
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
Acoustic target strengths (TS) of myctophid fish Diaphus theta were measured in situ at 70 kHz off the east coast of Hokkaido by tethering an acoustic-optical system (the Japanese Quantitative Echosounder and Stereo-video Camera System or J-QUESTχ) at a depth of 150 m from a research vessel. Fish length distributions were obtained from daytime hauls taken with a frame trawl after the TS measurement. Measured average TS () and a standard length (SL) in cm gave the empirical length - average TS relationship, = 20logSL70.6, assuming that the linear TS is proportional to the square of the SL. A laboratory …

Effect Of Depth-Dependent Target Strength On Biomass Estimation Of Japanese Anchovy, Hiroto Murase, Atsushi Kawabata, Hiroshi Kubota, Masayasu Nakagami, Kazuo Amakasu, Koki Abe, Kazushi Miyashita, Yoshioki Oozeki
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
Effect of the depth-dependent target strength (TS) on biomass estimation of Japanese ahcovy was examined by using following four TS models: (1) TS = 20logLt-71.9, (2) TS = 20logLt-72.5, (3) TS = 20logLt-(20/3)log(1+z/10)-67.6 and (4) TS = 20logLt-(20/3)log(1+z/10)-64.7, where Lt and z represent total length (cm) and depth (m), respectively. (1) and (2) have been used in conventional fisheries resources surveys; (3) and (4) take account of depth-dependent TS. Because (1)-(3) were based on in-situ measurement, pitch angles of individuals used in the models were not known. Pitch angle is assumed 0° (±10° std) in (4). Biomass estimated by (3) …
