OSMOREGULATION IN THE PRAWN PALAEMON LONGIROSTRIS (CARIDEA, PALAEMONIDAE)
Creators: name: CAMPBELL, PETER J
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1988

description: Salinity tolerance, and several aspects of osmoregulation, ionic regulation and permeability were measured for Palaemon longirostris at three temperatures (4, 12 & 20°C). Influence of ontogenetic stage on salinity tolerance and osmoregulation was investigated by testing separately individuals sorted, using carapace length, into 'small' (10-18mm), 'medium' (18-24mm), 'large' (>24mm) and 'ovigerous' (>24mm) size groupings. Effect of seasonal acclimatization on salinity tolerance and osmoregulation was taken into account by comparing responses of summer- with winter-collected prawns. Irrespective of temperature and size, summer Palaemon longirostris were extremely euryhaline and had >90% survival in various salinities from 0.5-34 º/oo . For summer prawns, survival in 43 º/oo was reduced, particularly at 4°C. Salinity tolerance of winter prawns was generally less than that of summer individuals, this difference being marked at salinity extremes in combination with low temperature. Over the salinity range 0.5-34 º/oo , prawns were very efficient hyper-hypo-osmoregulators at each temperature. At 43 º/oo, blood osmolalities tended towards the isosmotic, indicating that osmoregulation was breaking down. There was no clear effect of prawn size or season on osmoregulation, however, low temperature appeared to be disruptive. Transfer of prawns from 14 º/oo to either 5 º/oo or 34 º/oo, and from 1 º/oo to 34 º/oo, resulted in a new steady blood osmolality within 6-12h. Transfer from 34 º/oo to 1 º/oo , caused blood osmolality to drop significantly within 12h, and a new equilibrium was not reached until 72h. The inorganic ions sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium and magnesium accounted for >94% of total blood osmolality over the salinity range 0.5-34 º/oo . There was no consistent effect of temperature on the regulation of these ions.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fourteen years of data from the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) were used to model habitatsof key copepod species (Calanus glacialis, C. hyperboreus, C. finmarchicus, Paracalanus sp.) on the continentalshelf and Slope water in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Habitat modelling was performed withGeneralized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) based on environmental indices representing the habitatof Calanus species, throughout their whole life history, which includes an active population growth phasedominated by early stages in the surface layer, and a dormant phase dominated by overwintering stagesin deeper habitats. Our analyses allowed habitat modelling where species could be encountered(occurrence models) and the productivity of the species when present (abundance models) andunderlined the importance of using depth-integrated data encompassing all developmental stages andenvironmental indices representative of all habitats occupied during their life cycle to accurately modelthe distribution of Calanus species. In context of global change, the models developed in this studyprovide essential tools to predict changes in productivity and/or occurrence of keystone species in theNorthwest Atlantic Ocean.
Particulate Trace Metals in British Coastal Waters
Creators: name: Williams, Mark Richard
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: Key processes affecting the transport of particulate trace metals in the coastal waters of the Irish and North Seas have been examined. Sample collection and experimentation was carried out on board R.R-S. Challenger in January 1992 (Irish Sea) and in December 1992 and November 1993 (North Sea). Particulate samples were digested in IM HCI and the concentrations of Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn were determined, together with the 206/207Pb isotopic ratio. In the North Eastern Irish Sea the concentrations of suspended particulate trace metals were affected significantly by tidal processes, such that ebb tides transport particles of higher trace metal concentrations from the nearshore, while flood tides transport metal-depleted particles from offshore. This tidally-induced transport was confirmed by complementary 206/207Pb analyses, which showed the value of this technique in particle tracing. In the North Sea suspended particulate trace metal concentrations were higher adjacent to industrialised estuaries and high Pb concentrations were found m the Tyne/Tees region (in the range 200 - 340 ug g-1), in combination with low 206/207Pb suggesting an anthropogenic origin. Estimated fluxes of trace metals from the Humber Estuary to the North Sea were relatively small compared to the PARCOM inputs to the estuary. There was little evidence of interannual variability in these fluxes compared to those obtained in December 1988. Samples of end-members of the Humber Plume particle mixing series (estuary and cliffs) were used in radiochemical uptake studies, which indicated a response time of about 1 day for 109Cd, 137Cs and 65Zn to reach a new equihbrium. When the end-members were mixed together in various proportions they showed the uptake of 109Cd and 54Mn behaved non-additively. Settling of suspended particulate trace metals in the plume region was examined in unique experiments involving stable and radioisotopes. It was shown that trace metals were preferentially associated with different settling fractions. Lead was associated with slow settling particles whereas Cu was associated with particles settling more rapidly. The results presented in this dissertation allowed the development of a conceptual model for fine sediment transport for trace metals, which could be interfaced with established hydrodynamic models.
A Three-Dimensional Numerical Model of the Sea Breeze for the Plymouth Region
Creators: name: Clark, Ian W.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1986

description: A three-dimensional, hydrostatic, primitive equation model is developed to simulate the Plymouth sea breeze. The equations are integrated forward in time on a staggered mesh with a domain of 64km X 64km X 3km, using a combination of central and upstream differencing. The ground surface is assumed to be smooth and the heat input to the atmosphere transferred vertically without the explicit use of diffusion coefficients. This results in a less stringent stability condition on the timestep, thus reducing the computational cost of the simulations. Sensitivity tests for a two-dimensional version are presented, examining the influence of atmospheric stability, the synoptic scale flow and the magnitude of the surface heat flux. The major features of the raesoscale circulation are well represented including the strong overland updraughts associated with the sea breeze front. Frontal propagation rates are estimated in each simulation. and are found to be in general agreement with available data for Southern England. The preliminary three-dimensional results concern the sensitivity of the model to variations in the synoptic scale flow and the coastal configuration. The former tests show a more vigorous system developing with an offshore synoptic flow and a much weaker circulation for the onshore. The second test illustrates the development of a bay-induced landward bulge in the temperature gradient resulting in an asymmetric distribution of onshore convergence zones. The final simulations represent two case studies of Plymouth sea breeze events during August 1983 and May 1984. The major features of the system are again well simulated, however several key problem areas are identified. These involve the influence of topographic variations, the numerical grid resolution, the heat flux parameterisation and the role of turbulent transfer. Recommendations for further research are proposed and include the application of a terrain-following coordinate scheme and a new observational initiative. In addition, the need for an improved heat flux parameterisation and turbulence closure are identified.

During spring 2013, the abundance of krill eggs and larvae was higher in the warmer waters south of Iceland compared to the colder waters off the north and east coasts. The two most abundant species, where characterized by a different distribution pattern: Meganyctiphanes norvegica dominated in the southwest, while Thysanoessa inermis dominated in the north and east. Our results showed a close association of krill eggs and larvae with phytoplankton biomass, temperature and bottom depth in Icelandic waters.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Progress towards stock-specific assessment and management is desirable in Baltic Sea salmon (Salmo salar) fisheries to limit exploitation of weak wild stocks while allowing more efficient use of recovered wild and reared stocks. We developed a spatially- and temporally-structured Bayesian model for mature Baltic salmon migrating from their feeding grounds in the Baltic Sea to natal rivers along the Swedish coast that incorporates genetic information to identify stocks present in coastal trap net catches. The resulting estimates of stock composition in space and time can be used to specify management measures that are targeted at specific stocks to a greater degree than has previously been possible.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Nutrient enrichment of coastal waters fuels planktonic growth. The subsequent sinking of this organic matter and its aerobic respiration by heterotrophic bacteria in bottom waters results in the consumption of dissolved oxygen (DO) there. If excessive amounts of organic carbon reach the benthic layer DO depletion may drop it down to hypoxic or anoxic levels. Acute and chronic effects on biota may then be expected. The sensitivity of relevant benthic, demersal, and benthopelagic species (n=92) to DO levels, as lowest-observed-effect-levels (LOEL), was used to estimate the community’s sensitivity in five climate zone (polar, subpolar, temperate, subtropical, tropical). Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) curves combining DO concentrations and Potentially Affected Fractions (PAF) of species were plotted to estimate hazard concentrations (HC50LOEL) per climate zone, and Effect Factors (EF, [(PAF)·m3.kgO2-1]). Preliminary EF results range from 4.8 (PAF)·m3·kgO2-1 (polar zone) to 7.3 (PAF)·m3·kgO2-1 (tropical zone). A site-generic value of 6.2 (PAF)·m3·kgO2-1 is useful when no relevant spatial differentiation is to consider. The proposed method for effects modelling contributes with an essential component in the characterisation of eutrophying emissions in Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) and is applicable in a global assessment framework of marine eutrophication impacts.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Nitrogen (N) emissions from anthropogenic sources may enrich coastal waters and lead to marine eutrophication impacts. Processes describing N-limited primary production (PP), zooplankton grazing, and bacterial respiration of sinking organic carbon, were modelled to quantify the potential dissolved oxygen (DO) consumption as a function of N input. Such indicator is the basis for an eXposure Factor (XF) applied in Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) to estimate impacts from N enrichment. The Large Marine Ecosystems (LME) biogeographical classification system was adopted to address the spatial variation of the modelled parameters and to characterise spatially differentiated N-emissions. Preliminary XF results range from 0.5 kgO2·kgN-1 in the Central Arctic Ocean to 16 kgO2·kgN-1 in the Baltic Sea, out of a total of 66 LME-dependent XFs. All the relevant processes were included in a mechanistic model and the uncertainty of the driving parameters is considered low. The presented XF estimation method contributes with a central component for site-dependent characterization factors (CFs) for marine eutrophication, to be coupled with environmental fate of N emissions and effects of oxygen depletion on biota.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) is a widely distributed species in the eastern part of the North Atlantic, ranging from Norway to Portugal. The population is comprised of at least two sub-components (a northern and a southern component) both of which spawn along the shelf edge and on banks west of the British Isles. Blue whiting is however currently managed as a single stock, despite clear evidence of morphological and genetic differences. In this contribution, we develop a 3 area GADGET model for blue whiting. The model was tuned using survey data from the three (north, central and south) regions spanning the period 1984-2011.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.To gain insights into coastal migration of salmon around Scotland, an integrated study using both satellite tagging and genetic stock investigation (GSI) was performed. Over two years, adult Atlantic salmon were captured on the North coast of Scotland and fitted with satellite tags programmed for a range of release periods. Tissue samples were collected from these fish and genotyped using a panel of single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers developed for GSI of salmon within Scotland and NE England. Information from the satellite tag locations was then integrated with the likely origins of the fish as defined using GSI, and stock-specific migration positions examined. The geographical marine distribution of tagged fish assigned to different parts of Scotland was found to have no obvious pattern. As such, results of this analysis are consistent with inferences from mark recapture investigations using coastal nets and indicate that homing fish show considerable spatial mixing around the Scottish coast during homing.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We quantified phenological variation in outmigration timing among salmon subpopulations within alarge watershed and its implications for climate mismatches with their marine zooplankton prey.Specifically, we sampled juvenile sockeye salmon throughout the spring and early summer in the estuaryof the Skeena River, Canada. Sockeye salmon migrate through the estuary for at least 50 days, with peakemigration for different populations varying by more than 5 weeks. The outmigration timing for specificpopulations was related to geographic factors including elevation of the rearing lake and the riverdistance between individual rearing lakes and the estuary. Concurrent with sampling we quantified theestuarine prey of juvenile sockeye salmon and discovered that zooplankton species composition andabundance varied throughout the smolt migration period so that different salmon subpopulationsencountered different prey abundances upon ocean entry.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The impact of climate change under unmitigated conditions on the marine ecosystem is estimated on the base of a model ensemble projection including two members of different levels of ecosystem complexity (MEDUSA and ERSEM), both forced using the atmospheric conditions of a high radiation scenario AR5 RCP8.5 from a coupled ESM.The evolution of the ecosystem of the North Atlantic is investigated using two different levels of biogeographic classifications. The first is based on ecosystem function and shows the functional changes across the basin, while the second is based on typical habitat indicators and therefore illustrated the impact of the changing conditions on higher trophic level habitats. The results show significant northward shifts of temperate and (sub-) tropical regimes, while the sub-polar regimes are expected to vanish towards the end of the century. Implications for ecosystem services are substantial as changes can be expected to lead to significant reductions in productivity and available biomass of the marine ecosystem, reductions in the potential of carbon sequestration and reductions of the favourable habitats for cold water species.

THE USE OF PREBIOTICS TO IMPROVE FISH HEALTH

Publisher: name: University of Plymouth

description: The aim of this project was to analyse critically the potential use of prebiotics in aquaculture. Initially, the intestinal microflora of rainbow trout, raised in the aquarium facilities at CEFAS, Weymouth, was investigated using both conventional bacteriological (culture, BiOLOG) and molecular (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), 16S rRNA gene sequencing) techniques. Dominant colony types were identified as Aeromonas sobria, Carnobacterium piscicola and Clostridium gasigenes. A series of in vitro growth curve studies was carried out using a selection of intestinal bacteria and known fish pathogens, to determine the ability of intestinal bacteria to utilise the potential prebiotic candidates inulin, lactulose and lactitol. Both inhibition and stimulation of the growth of certain bacteria was noted. Inulin and lactulose were top-dressed onto commercial trout pellets at levels of 1000mg/Kg and 100mg/Kg and fed to healthy rainbow trout to determine the effect in vivo. Using Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (tRFLP) analysis and RFLP analysis, inulin was shown to increase the growth of Aeromonas sobria and decrease the growth of Clostridium gasigenes in comparison to samples obtained from fish fed a control diet. Prebiotic supplemented feeds were both palatable and safe. To investigate the effect of feeding an inulin-supplemented diet on the susceptibility of Rainbow trout to Yersinia ruckeri a cohabitation challenge was performed. Relative percent survival at 55% positive control mortality (RPS55) was 47%. Chi²analysis showed that differences between the controls and fish fed a diet supplemented with both 100 and 10mg inulin /Kg pellet feed were significant suggesting that inulin can improve the survival of fish coming into contact with the pathogen Yersinia ruckeri.

description: Il tema della sostenibilità è sempre più caro a tutte le imprese anche da parte dell’industria della moda e del lusso. Il consumo di acqua, l’utilizzo di agenti chimici, le emissioni di CO2 e la produzione di rifiuti sono i principali danni di un settore in costante crescita.
 Il consumo di abbigliamento è destinato a crescere; oggi però le aziende stanno iniziando a rivoluzionare le loro supply chain in ottica sostenibile.

Secondo il rapporto “Come i brand possono cogliere l’opportunità della moda sostenibile” pubblicato da Bain & Company e dal WWF il 65% dei consumatori dichiarano di avere a cuore l’ambiente, prestando anche attenzione all’impatto dei prodotti di moda che acquistano.
 Una ricerca condotta da Pwc Italia, stima che il mercato mondiale della moda green, che nel 2019 valeva 5,23 miliardi di euro, raggiungerà 8,08 miliardi di euro nel 2025 e successivamente 12,5 miliardi di euro nel 2030, con una crescita pari al +139% in circa 10 anni.

La consapevolezza riguardo ai danni causati all’ambiente da parte dell’industria della moda ha aperto la strada a molte iniziative che a volte sono attività di puro greenwashing, ma ha portato anche i grandi gruppi ad iniziare un percorso di riflessione serio riguardo ai loro processi produttivi, mettendo in discussione metodi di lavorazione e materiali un tempo dati per scontati nel mondo del fashion.

Anche la disciplina del marketing deve adattarsi al contesto contemporaneo adottando un nuovo approccio che aiuti le imprese a comprendere che la sostenibilità è vero motore di crescita solo se incorporata nell’organizzazione e se coinvolge l’intero staff aziendale, dall’alto management all’addetto alla vendita, vicino al cliente per comprenderne i bisogni.

In questo articolo abbiamo focalizzato l’attenzione sulla sostenibilità ambientale che non deve essere però percepita come concetto astratto ma come atteggiamento condiviso da tutti gli stakeholders dell’organizzazione aziendale ed anche dai clienti stessi che devono ispirare i brand.

Production and properties of extracellular factors from Aeromonas salmonicida
Creators: name: Titball, Richard W.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1983

description: The production of extracellular products by Aeromonas salmonicida, in vitro, has been investigated. The results indicated that the bacterium produces at least two haemolytic activities in vitro. Unshaken cultural conditions favoured the production of a haemolysin with a broad spectrum of activity against various erythrocyte types (H-lysin), whilst shaken cultural conditions favoured the production of a haemolysin active against trout erythrocytes (T-lysin). The effects of growth medium type and culture conditions on the production of these haemolytic activities has been investigated. The activity of the T-lysin appeared to be attributable to the combined effects of an activity which caused incomplete lysis of the erythrocytes (T1 activity) and caseinase. The T1 activity appears to be found in culture supernate associated with fragments of the bacterial cell wall or membrane resulting in apparent molecular heterogeneity. H-lysin activity appeared to be due to a single protein, which did not require a divalent cation for the expression of activity. The haemolysin was synthesised by the bacterium as an inactive precursor molecule (pro-H-lysin) which was cleaved by the bacterial protease to give the active haemolysin; other commercially available proteases were also able to effect this activation. An unidentified component of a variety of animal sera was also able to effect conversion of the pro-H-lysin to the active form, however, this conversion only occurred after the serum component had entered the bacterial cell. The H-lysin was purified 1770 fold using freeze fractionation, salt fractionation, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. The partially purified protein possessed erythrocyte lysing and glycerophospholipid:cholesterol acyltransferase activities, however it was not clear whether these activities were attributable to the same molecule. Investigation of the kinetics of erythrocyte lysis by the partially purified H-lysin suggested that the haemolysin possessed an enzymatic mode of action. In vitro the haemolysin was active against both rainbow trout leucocytes and tissue culture cells. However, in vivo the haemolysin had no obvious effect on rainbow trout.

description: Health intervention schemes have previously been used in order to improve animal welfare and to reduce and sometimes eradicate disease (Bell et al., 2009). This investigation looks at the success of one such scheme upon the incidence of cattle lameness. Farmers participating in the Healthy Livestock Scheme, which took place in the South West of England from November 2010- January 2014, had their cattle mobility scored before commencing any mentored training, to determine pre-intervention lameness prevalence and again after intervention. The results confirm there was a significant reduction in lameness, from an average 26.7% lame before any intervention to 20.4% after. This means there was on average, 23.6% fewer cases of lameness after farms had participated in the Healthy Livestock Scheme, than before. In an average 128 cow herd, this equates to seven fewer cows becoming lame each year and, based on a single case of lameness costing £180 (AHDB, 2016), this represents a significant saving of £1,283 per annum. Importantly, none of the independent variables had a significant effect upon the change in lameness seen between pre and post-intervention mobility scores. This means the Healthy Livestock scheme was effective at reducing lameness regardless of farming system, breed, herd size, housing, or number of FTEs. The wider implications of this mean that, crucially, this type of funded vet and farmer interaction reaps benefits for all farm types, regardless of these factors.

AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE SOCIAL INTERACTION AND DEMONSTRATION OF PREFERENCE FOR LOCATION OF COWS IN A COMMERCIAL DAIRY HERD.

description: Under free-ranging conditions cattle live in social groups because it is beneficial to them in terms of risk of predation, breeding synchronisation and collective intelligence, amongst others. However, current dairy cattle management practice is not geared toward management of the cow for her social wellbeing but rather for the ability to feed and manage appropriately and meet the cows’ main needs that affect productivity and profitability. Domestic dairy cattle do not have free ranging opportunities. Heifers are managed in cohort groups from birth to calving and have little, if any, interaction with the adult herd until they calve. This study investigated the nearest neighbour preference and preference for location on a lactation group level in a commercial herd of 159 lactating dairy cows, during the winter housing period in the South Hams, Devon. CCTV cameras were used to record cow order at milking and cows were observed directly in the feeding and cubicle yards. This study determined that there were strong interactions within the lactation groups between younger animals in the herd. These findings suggest that cows in larger and younger cohort groups, have little need to form bonds outside of that group. Understanding the dynamic social nature of dairy cattle and their apparent preference for interaction with familiar animals, could lead to the development of management techniques that focus on the group rather than individual animals, reducing stress and positively impacting on welfare and production.

description: erritorial communities have been granted autonomy in decision-making on their functioning and further development through the administrative-territorial reform and financial decentralization. The formation of own resources by territorial communities for the implementation of relevant programs and expenditures is insufficient. Therefore, there is a need to find and attract foreign investment in the development of territorial communities. The purpose of the study is to form a mechanism for the development of territorial communities by attracting foreign investment. The study is based on the analysis of foreign direct investment by region of Ukraine and the regulatory framework for promoting foreign investment. Territorial marketing tools and an integrated approach to attracting foreign investors were used. The regions of Ukraine have different dynamics of attracting foreign direct investment, which is due to the economic characteristics of the territories, sectoral affiliation, and martial law. The study has shown that territorial communities should ensure development through high-quality investment facilities, the formation of favorable investment environment and investor support, and the use of public-private partnerships.

STUDIES ON THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE TELEOST PSEUDOBRANCH
Creators: name: MATTEY, DEREK L.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1981

description: Four main types of pseudobranch were distinguished on the basis of their epithelial covering. The terms 'free', ‘semi-free’, 'covered' and 'buried' are used to describe these types. All pseudobranchs possess specific ‘pseudobranch type’ cells, characterised by an orderly arrangement of tubules around closely packed mitochondria. They also contain vacuoles which may play a role in osmoreception by causing changes in the size and shape of the cells. Another specialised cell type, similar to the gill 'chloride' cell was found in 'free' and 'semi-free' pseudobranchs of salt water fish. They are associated with smaller 'accessory' cells from which they are separated by 'leaky' junctions which may provide a structural basis for the proposed ion secretory nature of 'chloride type' cells. Ultrastructural changes in 'chloride type' and 'pseudobranch type' cells were noted under osmotic stress but the cells still remained distinguishable from each other, giving no reason to suggest that they were different forms of the same cell. The two other main cell types found in the pseudobranch epithelium were mucous and rodlet cells. The epithelial surface possesses numerous microridges which are thought to aid anchorage of mucous. The vascular system of the pseudobranch shows close similarities to that of the gill and contains a well developed arterio-venous pathway as well as an arterio-arterial system. Arterio-venous anastomoses were found between the efferent filament artery and the central venous sinus of the bass pseudobranch. The pseudobranch innervation is extremely complex. Morphological and denervation studies suggest an autonomic innervation and physiological evidence indicates the presence of at least two and possibly four types of receptor. The results of this study indicate that the pseudobranch has a number of inter-related functions associated with the development of specific cell types and a complex innervation linked directly or indirectly to the vascular system.
