description: Background: Pesticide usage has several beneficial impacts on agricultural production. However, it also has negative environmental impacts on soil, water, and non-target species, which can potentially cause a decrease in biodiversity. A good example is the decline of bee populations due to pesticide use. Fenpyroximate (FEN) is a fungicide that acts by inhibiting mitochondrial complex I electron transport, focusing on the translocation of protons from NADH to ubiquinone oxidoreductase. It is among those detected in Caatinga crops and was already reported to have negative impacts on bees [1,2]. Objective: The main objective of this study is to understand the sensibility of different species of bees from the Caatinga biome to FEN using in silico analysis. Methods: A protein-ligand analysis was used to determine FEN's affinity and binding sites to the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex I protein (NADH) for 26 bee species inhabiting the Caatinga biome. A phylogenetic tree was performed to determine the similarity and position of similar binding sites and pockets, and the protein-ligand docking was performed with Autodock (v4.2.6). Results: NADH sequences for the 26 bee species had a length between 438 and 566 bp, sharing 79% of pairwise residues for all sequences. Results show that the binding energy of FEN to NADH was between -8.39 and -10.28kcal/mol, inhibition constants between 28.98 and 713 nM, and ligand efficiency between 0.27 and 0.32. For all species, a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 ligand aminoacids were found. Conclusions: This bioinformatics analysis pipeline is a useful complementary tool to animal testing, giving important insights for determining the mechanisms underlying toxicity of pesticides in non-target bee species. Additionally, it was possible to determine a rank of species sensitivity to FEN that can be used as a policy-maker tool.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Correlation between maps of scientific and commercial catch data is thought to improve the spatial analysis of fishing mortality and catchability. Maps are produced at the spatial scale of the ICES statistical rectangles and commercial cpue are linearly regressed on scientific cpue. The analysis is performed for 2 seasons (spring and autumn) during 3 years corresponding to survey dates. It focusses on Megrim in the Celtic sea because of its large spatial extension over the area both covered by surveys and fisheries. Simple mean and variance of commercial cpue are computed by rectangles using those boats which reported their catch per rectangle in the logbooks and which operated in a period close to the survey. Block average scientific cpues are estimated by block kriging in the rectangles after modelling the variogram of the survey data. Maps of variance of cpue can only be obtained from commercial data because there are too few survey points per rectangle. Variance of commercial cpue within rectangles appears to be an important parameter. It shows a strong spatial pattern and a seasonal variation of this pattern. It is shown to be related with fishing strategy in autumn and to a biological cause in spring. Different uses of this new parameter are discussed, in particular for planning scientific surveys. Selecting those rectangles with low commercial variance leads to a linear relation between scientific and commercial cpue. Differences in the slope is small in autumn for the 2 years studied but important between autumn and spring.

description: The coordination of hexadentate (±)-1,3-pentanediamine-N,N,N’,N’-tetraacetate (1,3-pndta) ligand with Co(III) has been investigated. Four octahedral [Co(1,3-pndta)]− complexes containing different counter cations, Li[Co(1,3-pndta)]⋅4H2O (1a), Li[Co(1,3-pndta)]⋅2H2O (1b), K[Co(1,3-pndta)]⋅H2O (1c) and Ca[Co(1,3-pndta)]2⋅5H2O (1d), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, IR, NMR (1H and 13C) and electronic absorption spectroscopy were used for characterization of 1a − d. The influence of the ethyl substituent of 1,3-propanediamine chain in 1,3-pndta and the nature of metal counter cation on the structural modalities of carboxylate bridging groups in 1a − d were established by comparing with the analogous [M(1,3-pdta)]n− (1,3-pdta = 1,3-propanediamine-N,N,N’,N’-tetraacetate) and [M(1,3-pndta)]n− complexes (M = Co(III), Cr(III) and Ni(II)). Our studies have shown that the supramolecular association of the complexes is primarily governed by the size of the alkali or alkaline earth metal counter cation and its templating ability, while ethyl substituents, in most cases, prevent the formation of 3D polymeric frameworks.

title: The Importance Of The Financial Costs Of Inflicting Fishing Mortality
Creators: name: Phillis, J.P.
Publisher: name: ASC 1999 - R - Theme session

Subjects: Fisheries and aquaculture

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Moving the value of fishing mortality, (F), to a correct level is an inherent and central part of remedial management of depleted fisheries, typically incorporated year by year in the advice of most assessment working groups. The problems of actually obtaining implementation of measures recommended by biologists are by now both familiar and intractable (apart from the potentially expensive and traumatic measure of regulation by decommissioning). While the recent growth in interest in the relationship between fishing effort and F is to be welcomed, this paper recommends that it should go even further, and encompass the relationship between the variable ( operating) costs of fishing and F, or simply define effort in financial terms, which could be more robust than units based on the product of power and time (e.g. kiloWatt-hours), given the shortcomings of units of power as measurements of the capacity of a boat to catch fish. The relationship between variable fishing costs and F is highly relevant to any calculations designed to optimise F, as a 'necessary part of assessing the effects of optimising F on the motivation of the fishing fleet, and therefore deserves greatly increased attention in fisheries management research.

description: The interaction of Cu(II) with ethambutol (EMB) was investigated. The complexes formed are the 1:1 complex, Cu(EMB) and the deprotonated forms, Cu(EMB)H-1 and Cu(EMB)H-2. The pKa values of the induced ionization of the hydroxyl group of EMB upon coordination are 6.76 and 7.93. The formation equilibria of the ternary complexes Cu(EMB)L, involving the secondary ligand such as amino acids, peptides or DNA constituents (L), were investigated. Ternary complexes with amino acids showed Cu(EMB)L and the protonated form Cu(EMB)LH. The pKa value of the protonated complexes are 5.75–9.09. Peptides form Cu(EMB)L and the deprotonated form Cu(EMB)LH-1. DNA constituents form Cu(EMB)L and Cu(EMB)L2. The thymine complex is more stable than that of uridine. Uridine-5’-monophosphate forms a stronger complex than uridine; inosine-5’-monophosphate (IMP) forms in addition the protonated form of the 1:1 complex. It forms a more stable complex with Cu(EMB)2+ than inosine. The speciation diagrams were evaluated. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed. The calculations included investigation of molecular electrostatic potential surfaces. A molecular docking analysis of ethambutol and its complex with mycobacterium tuberculosis (PDB ID: 5UHG) is investigated.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Using nominal fishing effort for fisheries regulation to control fishing mortality requires ability to correct fishing power for temporal development. Similarly, using CPUE data from commercial fisheries as abundance indicators also requires such ability. Often it is assumed, also in ICES stock assessments, that fishing power is constant over time. However, experience has suggested that this assumption may be at fault.

The stability constants (logK) for Al(III)-H2L 1:1 complexes in MeOH/H2O 1/1 at pH 2.52 were determined as 3.39, 2.87 and 2.59, respectively. Detailed characterization of complexes was performed by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The MS spectra reveal the formation of 1:1 complexes with decreasing stability in the order H2L1 > H2L2 > H2L3. DFT calculations revealed several possible modes of ligand coordination, acting as bidentate or tridentate ligands. The comparison with analogous Ga(III) complexes was made as well.

description: Minority stressors are chronic and pervasive among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) college students. In the present study, we examine the associations between two minority stressors (i.e., microaggressions, discrimination) and three alcohol-related outcomes (i.e., risk for alcohol dependence, negative alcohol-related consequences, binge drinking episodes) among a diverse TGD college sample in the U.S. Two protective factors (i.e., flourishing and resilience) were examined for their role in attenuating the associations between minority stressors and alcohol-related outcomes. Secondary data analyses were conducted using the subsample of TGD participants (N = 3,395) in the spring 2021 American College Health Association National College Health Assessment comprised of transgender women (15.4%), transgender men (14.8%), and non-binary individuals (69.8%) ages 18-25, many of whom were sexual minorities (85.2%) and racial/ethnic minorities (43.9%). Results demonstrate that collectively both minority stressors are associated with greater risk for all negative alcohol-related outcomes. Individually, microaggressions and discrimination demonstrate significant risks for unique alcohol-related outcomes; microaggressions were associated with risk for alcohol dependence, whereas, discrimination was associated with negative alcohol-related consequences and binge drinking episodes. Flourishing, but not resilience, was associated with lower risk for all negative alcohol- related outcomes. The moderating effects of resilience and flourishing were not significant. The results provide evidence of flourishing as a significant asset and protective factor in the TGD college community. Mental health professionals should screen TGD persons for microaggressions and discrimination, and inform students of the risks associated with drinking alcohol to cope with psychological distress related to minority stress. Implications for TGD college student communities, mental health providers, and the field of minority stress research are discussed.

The mononuclear analogue [Pt(N-phenylpyridine-2-carboxamide)Cl2] (5) was included to compare the results. The kinetics of the reactions were studied under pseudo first-order conditions in a methanol solution (I = 0.1 M LiCl) as a function of concentration and temperature using the stopped-flow spectrophotometer. The observed pseudo first-order rate constants for the substitution reactions of all the complexes were calculated from two well-separated steps and obey the rate law kobs (1st/2nd) = k2 (1st/2nd)[Nu]. The reactivity of the complexes decreases in the order 2 > 1 > 4 > 3 > 5. The conformational symmetry of the complexes as controlled by the phenylenediamine bridges, steric hindrance due to the bridges as well as the σ-donor capacity of the coordinated groups around the metal centers influence the reactivity of the dinuclear complexes. The low enthalpy (ΔH#) and negative intrinsic entropy (ΔS#) values support an associative mechanism of substitution. The kinetic data are supported by DFT calculations.

description: We investigated the reaction between glutathionylcobalamin (GSCbl), a tight complex of cobalamin with glutathione (GSH), and nitroxyl (HNO) produced upon decomposition of Angeli’s salt using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and 1H NMR. The reaction in neutral and alkaline media leads to formation of nitrosylcobalamin (NOCbl). Simulation of the kinetic traces using the ChemMech program package suggested that the mechanism of the process involves complexation between HNO and GSCbl and further decomposition of the complex into the products. The complex participates in an acid-base equilibrium (pKa = 8.9), and the deprotonated form decomposes to NOCbl more rapidly than the protonated species. At pH 7.4, the reaction of HNO with GSCbl proceeds ca.103-times more slowly than with free GSH. GSCbl can react directly with the monoprotonated anion of Angeli’s salt (HN2O3−) to produce nitrocobalamin (NO2Cbl). The reaction between GSCbl and HN2O3− is insignificant in an alkaline medium and is accelerated upon acidification of the medium. The critical step of the process is the complexation between GSCbl and HN2O3−. The produced complex is involved in an acid-base equilibrium (pKa = 8.1): the protonated form can be transformed to NO2Cbl and GSNHO−, whereas the deprotonated species decompose to initial reactants.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Varzuga river is one of the biggest rivers in Russia. Undoubtedly, fishery for salmon on this river was conducted since times immemorial, since people began to colonize the Kola peninsula about 8 000 years ago. However, the first reference to a fence of wooden stakes installed on the Varzuga river for salmon fishing dates back to not before than 1575 (Minkin, 1976). The fishery with the fence was conducted for as long as the beginning of the 20th centuary. In the first half of the 20th century the Atlantic salmon fishery on the V arzuga river was conducted by set nets, which partitioned 2/3 of the river width. Under such a fishing pattern the catch from downstream nets was 100 to 1 to the catch from the upstream nets, therefore, the abundance of Atlantic salmon in the river began to decline steadily. Similar situation developed on the majority of rivers over the Kola peninsula, therefore, in late 50's - early 60's salmon fishery was concentrated at counting fences set up in river mouth. Introduction of fishery concentrated at counting fences where no less than 50% of ascending salmon were released to spawn enabled stabilization and enhanced production of Atlantic salmon stock in the V arzuga river in subseqtient years.

Results demonstrate that collectively both minority stressors are associated with greater risk for all negative alcohol-related outcomes. Individually, microaggressions and discrimination demonstrate significant risks for unique alcohol-related outcomes; microaggressions were associated with risk for alcohol dependence, whereas, discrimination was associated with negative alcohol-related consequences and binge drinking episodes. Flourishing, but not resilience, was associated with lower risk for all negative alcohol- related outcomes. The moderating effects of resilience and flourishing were not significant. The results provide evidence of flourishing as a significant asset and protective factor in the TGD college community. Mental health professionals should screen TGD persons for microaggressions and discrimination, and inform students of the risks associated with drinking alcohol to cope with psychological distress related to minority stress. Implications for TGD college student communities, mental health providers, and the field of minority stress research are discussed.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Marine mammal strandings on the Galician coast (NW Spain) have been recorded continuously since 1990 by a network of volunteers (CEMMA). The database created includes six different types of records: live or dead stranded cetaceans; dead cetaceans floating offshore; confirmed by-catches; live animals in the water that needed assistance; findings of cetacean bones and records of stranded or live pinnipeds. • Data recorded for each animal included: species, condition, measurements and weight of the whole animal. When possible, necropsies were carried out to collect teeth, stomachs, gonads and other tissue samples and to determine cause of death. A total of 1,245 strandings of at least fifteen species of marine mammals were recorded in Galicia from 1990 to 1998. The most commonly recorded species (48% of stranded animals) was the common dolphin Delphinus delphis. Strandings of bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus and harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena were also common, representing the 11 % and 7%, respectively. The number of strandings recorded per year increased from 1990 to 1998. Almost 80% of the strandings were located on the western coast of Galicia. During 1990-1998, 29 cetaceans were recorded as by-caught and signs of by-catch were seen in a further 173 cetaceans. Analysis of the seasonal pattern of strandings indicated that more strandings occurred in autumn and winter and that, in common dolphins, the average size of animals and the proportion of males both increased towards the end of the year. Sea conditions, seasonal movements of the cetaceans, the physical characteristics of the coast and proximity to fishing and feeding grounds may influence the seasonal and geographical distribution of strandings along the Galician coast.

description: Abstract: The objective of this study is to determine the influence of the principal's servant leadership on teacher performance at SMP Negeri 4 Laguboti. The research employs a quantitative inferential statistical method. The population consists of 32 teachers at SMP Negeri 4 Laguboti, with a sample size of 30 teachers selected from SMP Negeri 3 Lintongnihuta for the pilot test. Data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire comprising 60 items. The data analysis results indicate a significant impact of the principal's servant leadership on teacher performance at SMP Negeri 4 Laguboti. The analysis of the relationship between variables X and Y yielded an rxy value of 0.527, which is greater than the critical value of rtabel(α=0.05,n=32) = 0.349, and a t-value of 3.394, exceeding the critical t-value of 1.684, indicating a positive and significant relationship between the variables. The simple linear regression equation obtained is ŷ = 33.949 + 0.735X. Hypothesis testing showed that Fhitung = 11.518, which is greater than Ftabel = 4.08, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The study concludes that there is a positive and significant effect of the principal's servant leadership on teacher performance at SMP Negeri 4 Laguboti, with the coefficient of determination (r²) = 27.7%.

description: Quantum chemical calculations at the M06L-GD3/def2-TZVPP level were done to investigate hydrogen bonds between amino acid metal complexes and a free water molecule. Octahedral nickel(II) and square planar palladium(II) complexes of glycine, cysteine, phenylalanine, and serine with different charges of metal complexes (+1, 0, and −1) were investigated. The following hydrogen bonds were considered: NH/O (amino acid is a H-donor), O1/HO (coordinated O1 oxygen from amino acid is a H-acceptor), and O2/HO (non-coordinated O2 oxygen from amino acid is a H-acceptor). Amino acid type has a small influence on interaction energies, both for octahedral nickel(II) and square planar palladium(II) complexes. The influence is the largest for NH/O and the smallest for O2/HO hydrogen bonds. For NH/O interaction, palladium(II) complexes showed stronger hydrogen bonds than nickel(II), up to −11.8 kcal mol−1 for singly positively charged complexes. Nickel(II) complexes demonstrated higher O1/HO hydrogen bond strength than palladium(II) with interaction energies up to −8.9 kcal mol−1 for singly negative complexes. With up to −9.0 kcal mol−1 interaction energy for singly negative complexes, O2/HO interactions were also stronger for nickel(II) complexes than palladium(II).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The constant concern due the increase of mortality and strandings of marine mammals in European waters during the last decade increased the attention about this subject and led in the creation of ATLANCETUS. This is an international organisation, created in 1996, which involves specialists on marine mammals and non-profit organisations of Spain and Portugal. The aim of this organisation is to establish a protocol to standardise the records of data on mortality and by-catches of marine mammals and to produce an annual report on cetaceans stranded in the South-western European coasts. These data are compiled in a specific database created for this purpose. Data on marine mammals stranded and captured as by-catch in the Atlantic waters of Spain and Portugal, including the Canary Islands, Madeira and Azores, were analysed from 1996 to 1998. A total of 22 species of marine mammals were studied. On the whole, 1207 strandings were recorded in this area for the period studied. The number of strandings per year were 563, 344 and 326 for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The estimated percentages of by-catches of marine mammals in the above mentioned area were 16% and 12.3% for 1995 and 1996, respectively.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Bayesian methods have a number of advantages that make them especially useful in the provision of fisheries management advice: they permit formal decision analysis; they can lead to intuitive results; and they facilitate the incorporation of model uncertainty. The last of these may be particularly useful in the management of contentious fisheries, where different nations and interest groups may suggest alternative assessment models and management - each likely to imply different findings, even when using the same data. Such situations might be approached in a number of different ways. For example, one might attempt to choose a best model from all those available and to base decisions on it alone. Alternatively, one might make decisions that lead to acceptable outcomes under all envisaged models; or one could reach decisions that are good on average ( where average is taken over the set of all competing models and is weighted by a measure of how well each model coheres with available information). This last approach is advocated in this paper, and a Bayesian technique for achieving it is presented and discussed. The main points of the paper are illustrated with a hypothetical application of the technique to the rebuilding of the biomass of haddock by a selective culling of seals.

description: In this article, the biological evaluation and interaction of three selenium-based trans-palladium complexes (Pd–Se1, Pd–Se2, and Pd–Se3) with small biomolecules were performed. The UV–Vis kinetic studies on substitution reaction of synthesized complexes with selected biologically important N- and S-bonding ligands (L-Cys, GSH, L-Met, 5′-GMP, L-His) has emphasized greater affinity of sulphur-based ligands for complex-binding, while the general order of the reactivity was L-Cys > GSH > L-Met > 5′-GMP > L-His. The complex reactivity toward small biomolecules is influenced by ligand flexibility, i.e. the steric hindrances of their corresponding ligands near the coordination site (Se–Pd) during the substitution process. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the investigated complexes against colorectal carcinoma HCT-116 and healthy fibroblast MRC-5 cells exhibited moderate prooxidative and significant cytotoxic character against HCT-116 cells, while such effect on MRC-5 was much weaker. Antioxidant activity (DPPH assay) indicated that all three complexes and their ligands have significant antioxidant activity, with Pd–Se2 being significantly stronger than its ligand L2 or the other complexes. Molecular docking simulations on tyrosinase (Tyr) singled out Pd–Se1 as the most compatible to bind to the cavity of Tyr. At all concentrations, the tested compounds demonstrated genotoxic effects (comet assay) compared to negative control.

Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The fisheries crisis of the lost decodes and the overexploitation of a great number of stocks have revealed that the scientific knowledge available about the dynamics of the marine ecosystems and needed for the management of the fisheries is inadequate. This problem is critical when the management of coastal ecosystems and artisonal fisheries is involved. These systems show a great complexity due to the high number of human factors that influence their functioning (related directly to the exploitation of fisheries resources, but also to other types of activities that originate modifications and destruction of habitats) and to the number of components involved in the fishing activity (usually multispecific, multigear, with a diversified fleet that shows a complex spatial pattern of activity). Moreover, a great number of stocks exploited by coastal artisanal fisheries are invertebrates with a population dynamics that no fits in the finfish models. The efficient and sustainable management of these resources is in general not possible using models designed to finfish stocks exploited by industrial fleets. We analyze the present state of the coastal fisheries in Galicia (NW Spain), paying special attention to the state of the art of the scientific knowledge available, the socioeconomical context, and to the management policies in use. In this sense, the main problems of the present policy directed to the achievement of scientific data and to the management of resources will be identified. We propose to modify the strategies of research in the fishery sciences to introduce the traditional ecological knowledge of the fishers in the management process. This kind of information should constitute a complimentary source to gel new knowledge, and for this goal we propose to process it using the mechanisms and tools of the Artificial lnteligence to formalize, objectify and integrate it in the fisheries biology and marine ecology. Some case studies based in this approach will be presented.
