INTER-RELATIONSHIPS OF MYXOSPOREANS, INCLUDING PKX WITH CERTAIN FRESHWATER FISH
Creators: name: FEIST, STEPHEN WOLFGANG
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1993

description: The prevalence and impact of proliferative kidney disease (PKD) and myxosporidiosis has been investigated in wild fish stocks in the UK, over 1,500 fish representing 17 species being examined. PKD was recorded in brown trout, grayling and pike, the causative agent, the PKX cell, being identified with the aid of light and electron microscopy. A further 27 myxosporean species were also noted, with Myxobolus cotti (syn. M. jiroveci), in the brain of bullheads Cottus gobio being recorded for the first time. Studies on the structure and development of Myxidium lieberkuehni in pike revealed several previously undescribed features. Comparative morphological studies were undertaken to assess affinities of PKX with known myxosporean species. Results indicated similarities with early presporogonic stages of several myxosporean species, especially those belonging to the genus Sphaerospora. The apparent rarity of spore formation associated with PKX infections in the hosts examined focussed attention on species of Sphaerospora as possible sources of infection to salmonids. Studies concentrated on the possible involvement of the 3-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus and its renal parasite, Sphaerospora elegans, in PKD transmission. A re-description of this parasite (recently elevated to "type species" for the genus), was prepared. Laboratory experiments using rainbow trout PKX cells successfully transmitted the infection to rainbow trout, brown trout, brook trout and grayling; however sticklebacks challenged with PKX cells did not appear to become infected. Rainbow trout challenged with S. elegans spores and presporogonic stages showed no evidence of sphaerosporosis or PKD. Experiments designed to investigate the possible role of tubificid worms in PKD transmission provided inconclusive results. Field studies provided data on the pathogenesis of PKD in grayling and showed this species to be highly susceptible to the disease.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.As a useful proxy for marine biodiversity, bathymetry in shallow coastal and estuarine areas remains difficult to map using shoal-limited waterborne or costly airborne survey systems. Recent advances in spaceborne sensors may address these issues by providing sub-meter optical information across regional areas. Here we evaluate the joined capabilities of the newest very high resolution multispectral sensor Pléiades-1A (blue, green , red wavebands at 0.5 m pixel size) and an optimizing machine learning algorithm (neural network) to retrieve shallow bathymetry over a structurally-complex reef area over the whole island of Moorea, French Polynesia. As ground-truth data, >15,000 acoustic depth soundings were measured in situ ranging from 0 to 20 m. Agreements between actual and modelled water depths derived from ratio transform (RT) and neural network (NN) models applied to three multispectral visible datasets (digital number, radiance, reflectance) were compared using several measures of accuracy. Results showed the NN outperformed RT models, and could accurately render the actual water depths (r=0.89, R2=0.8 and RMSE=2.44). This innovative method enabled the coastal gap to be reliably filled at a sub-meter spatial resolution, thus opening new research avenues to map shallow habitats at a finer scale.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.During recent years research on the integration of fisheries in MSP has been gaining momentum. We reviewed the state of the art and the progress achieved by more than a dozen studies on ways towards integration of fisheries and MSP along six challenges that may occur in the attempt to integrate fisheries in MSP during the MSP stocktaking and plan development and negotiation phases. It became apparent that tools and methods to identify productive areas with relevance for fish resources, fisheries and the management of fish stocks are widely available or under development. The same is true for models that support analyses on changes in species distribution and of effects of MSP or human uses on existing fisheries. However, very often these tools, methods and models are still in a scientific stage and not directly usable by MSP management bodies. While spatial management tools are well established in fisheries management, these often still work on scales that may be too coarse for a MSP that has to include also small-scale-uses and aims for multi-use concepts. On the other hand the given examples point out a number of issues that underline the need for integration of fisheries in MSP.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The emergence of a conflict in the Danish part of Øresund involving environmental groups, local fishers and sand extraction activities led to a project in which nursery, feeding and spawning habitats of commercially important demersal fish species in the area were mapped. Apart from intensive angling, most fishing in the Sound is carried out by small-scale gillnetting with vessels <12 meters. No high-resolution spatial data (e.g. vessel monitoring system data) exists for these fisheries. Habitat mapping was therefore based on ecological knowledge gathered through interviews with fishers, coupled with existing sediment maps and low resolution fish survey data. Resulting maps reveal that fish habitat mapping in data poor areas is possible to a degree where reliable broad scale maps can be produced. Maps of both fishing grounds and the habitats that represent the ecological foundation of the fisheries are essential in informing spatial planning processes, i.e. constituting a solid baseline for constructive dialogue and discussion between authorities and affected stakeholders when planning activities at sea.

description: This programme of research examines the ecology of the threatened perennial Lobelia urens L. (the heath lobelia) which reaches the northern limit of its distribution in the southern coastal counties of England. A survey of the historical evidence of the distribution of the species in England is presented. Restricted to such a small area, L. urens has always been rare in Britain. The six remaining populations were surveyed to describe the phytosociology of communities containing L. urens and the variability of the environmental factors controlling its distribution. L. urens is shown to be a member of rough grass-heath communities dominated by Molinia caerulea and situated on seasonally waterlogged, moderately acidic, nutrient-poor soils. Studies of the demography of L. urens focused on two extant populations. Experimental research was carried out to support these demographic studies both in the field, on plants grown in a common garden, and under the controlled conditions of the glasshouse and laboratory. This information on the ecology of L. urens was used to construct stage-structured population matrices. Recruitment success in L. urens is shown to be very low in Britain and results suggest that this controls the density of British populations. The availability of seed does not regulate the rate of germination. Instead, recruitment of L. urens at the northern edge of its range is restricted by its specific habitat requirements, along with low summer temperatures and the short growing season. Establishment from seed is facilitated by micro-habitats that provide high light intensities and, more importantly, protection against soil moisture loss. Whilst winter disturbance by herbivores is shown to be essential for successful recruitment, adult growth and survival is better in ungrazed communities. However, even the small plants of the grazed areas are very fecund. The seed forms a large persistent bank that embodies a reserve of individuals and genetic variability which offers protection against extinction. The thesis concludes that the soil moisture status and disturbance regimes at Redlake and Andrew's Wood are limiting the growth rates of the L. urens populations. In order to maintain populations, the redirection of drainage water is prescribed to increase the soil moisture status. L. urens is suited to intermittent soil disturbance, the timing and intensity of which was shown to be important, whilst the duration between grazes was seen to be less critical. Results suggest that the habitat created by occasional heavy winter grazing of fattening cattle would be very favourable to L. urens.
CRYPTOCARYON IRRITANS BROWN, 1951 (CILIOPHORA): TRANSMISSION AND IMMUNE RESPONSE IN THE MULLET CHELON LABROSUS (RISSO, 1826)
Creators: name: BURGESS, PETER JOHN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1992

description: A standardised procedure was established for the laboratory maintenance of C.irritans in thick-lipped mullet. Nine isolates of C.irritans were obtained of which eight were successfully established for up to 48 weeks. Studies on individual life cycle stages with regards to longevity, viability, and susceptibility to a chemotherapeutic agent, revealed the difficulties in eradicating the cysts. Transmission of the parasite both to and from the host correlated with darkness. High infection levels resulted in the death of host fish within five days following exposure to theronts. An acquired protective immune response developed in host mullet within 14 days after exposure to sub-lethal infection. The degree of immunity appeared to relate to infection dose, and was not fully protective in all fish. Protection persisted for six months after infection and appeared specific to C.irritans. Specific antibodies to trophont antigen were identified in mullet serum but not epithelial mucus following either natural exposure to theronts or intraperitoneal immunisation with trophont antigens. Serum from intraperitoneally immunised fish caused theront immobilisation and agglutination in vitro; however no evidence was found for a protective role for specific antibody. Major polypeptides were identified and characterised by molecular weight for both trophont and theront stages using SDS-PAGE. Significant homology in major polypeptide profiles was found between C.irritans and I.multifiliis, in respect to trophonts and particularly theronts. Murine monoclonal antibodies raised to trophonts identified two polypeptide components of molecular weights 20-21kDa and 68-69kDa, the latter being homologous with host immunoglobulin heavy chain. These results are discussed in relation to future management and control strategies for cryptocaryosis in warmwater mariculture systems and aquaria.
A MOLECULAR APPROACH TO CALANUS (COPEPODA:CALANOIDA) DEVELOPMENT AND SYSTEMATICS
Creators: name: Lindeque, Penelope Kate
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2000

description: Production and recruitment measurements in marine copepods of the genus Calanus have been addressed via the study of genes involved in early embryogenesis. The first sequence from a Calanus helgolandicus (C. helgolandicus) developmental gene (Cal-Antp) has been cloned by screening a C. helgolandicus genomic library with a homologous Calanus homeobox probe. Sequencing of an isolated and sub-cloned fragment of this gene, plus further analysis by Inverse Polymerase Chain Reaction (IVPCR), has shown it to be homologous with other Antennapedia homeobox genes. The temporal expression of Cal-Antp was analysed through its messenger RNA (mRNA) complement by Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). The gene was expressed in tissue taken from eggs over 18 hours old, and in nauplii and copepodite stages, but no expression was detected in eggs less than 18 hours old or adult tissue. Three further homeobox-containing genes have been identified and analysed through their expression in C. helgolandicus eggs. Two of these are caudal homologues, and the third is homologous to the Antennapedia class of genes. The C. helgolandicus developmental gene sequence data provides a means of developing probes to monitor the temporal expression of such genes and their responses to environmental influence. The applicability of such probes to the investigation of key production and recruitment processes, including egg viability measurement, is discussed. A relatively simple and cost effective method has been developed to identify the four Calanus species common to the North Atlantic. This system involves the PCR amplification of a region of the mitochondrial rRNA gene without prior purification of the DNA, followed by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the amplified product. The versatility of the method is demonstrated by the unambiguous identification to species of any life stage, from egg to adult, and of any individual body parts. The molecular identification technique has for the first time shown the unexpected presence of three different Calanus species in Lurefjorden, Norway and has proved to be consistently accurate for all individuals tested including geographically distinct conspecific populations.

description: The study aims to identify the level of health perceptions of the teacher of physical education and sports and his role in promoting the level of health awareness for secondary school pupils. For this purpose, we used the descriptive approach on a sample consisting of (50) teachers and (340) pupils randomly chosen from the western province of Algiers, Centre. To collect data, the health perceptions scale and the health awareness scale were used. After collecting the results and treating them statistically, it was concluded that the level ofhealth perceptions was just moderate while the pupils’ level of health awareness was so high. On this basis, the study recommended the need to pay more attention to perceptions on the part of the teachers and the necessity to hold regular meetings for the teachers to discuss issues of health dimension.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Productive commercial and recreational fisheries are strongly linked to the ecological state of the habitats. Here we use species distribution modeling (SDM) to predict the spatio-temporal occurrence and abundance pattern of early-life stages of fish and to identify the range of environmental variables that best describe these patterns and, further, predict the species distribution under changing environment. The SDMs are build using Gaussian processes (GP). GP is a stochastic process that defines probability distribution over functions. They have received much interest in machine learning and statistics in recent years due to their non-parametric nature which allows flexible and versatile modeling. Linear and additive models can be seen as a special case of a GP. Our model combines a non-linear predictor with a spatio-temporal random effect under the common GP framework. We use the method to analyze and map the reproduction habitats of four common commercially important fish species in the coastal zone of the northern Baltic Sea. This approach allows us to export high-resolution prediction maps and numerically compare coastal areas for fish production. Spatial information on the essential fish habitats can be used to support fisheries and environmental managers in marine spatial planning.
Dynamics of a Small Tidal Estuarine Plume

description: Small-scale estuarine plume discharges into adjacent seas are common inshore features responsible for the transportation and dispersion of brackish water in the coastal zone. However, the physics that govern small-scale mixing in the frontal regions of river plumes are still poorly understood. The current study quantified and compared the observed hydrodynamic properties present inside a radially spreading river plume discharge from the River Teign, Teignmouth, Devon, UK, to those predicted by a generic plume model. Numerical simulations designed to replicate time dependent radial plume spreading from a constant source predicted the development of an internal interfacial bore that lagged the surface plume front through radial distance and time from initial plume release. The model was scaled from time lapse X-band radar imagery that recorded several plume discharge events. Scaled model output predicted the internal bore to form approximately 180 m behind the leading surface front. Subsequent field studies employed instrumentation capable of recording high-resolution measurements of temperature, salinity and velocity, spatially and vertically throughout the plume's buoyant layer over two ebb tidal cycles. Results suggested the plume advanced at a rate dependent on a super-critical interfacial Froude number of 0(1.3) and was a region of intense mixing and downward mass entrainment. Temperature contours recorded through the stratified plume gave no indication of an internal bore in its predicted position but did show an abrupt shallowing of the interfacial region some 40 to 60 m behind the surface plimie front. Super-critical interfacial Froude and critical Gradient Richardson numbers present in this region of the plume implied that this was the position of the predicted bore. The form of the bore often appeared as an ensemble of undular internal hydraulic jumps rather than a singular discontinuity as predicted by the model. Bulk mixing analysis inside the leading front based on established gravity current theory suggested that the extent of turbulent exchange in the model frontal boundary condition P, was underestimated by about a factor of 2. With the required increase in p, model simulations showed a decrease in the lag distance of internal bore formation to one where critical Froude numbers were detected inside the actual plume. Throughout both surveys, the gravity head remained a reasonably constant size due to any increase in across frontal velocity over the ebb tidal cycle being matched by an increase in entrainment and mixing. The subsequent conclusions from the study show the outflow and mixing dynamics are controlled by the estuary's tidal modulation of estuarine brackish water outflow / plume inflow rate behind the leading plume frontal discontinuity.

REPRODUCTlVE ALLOCATION IN FLOWERING PLANTS
Creators: name: WILSON, ANN MARGARET
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1986

description: The proportion of resources which an organism devotes to reproduction has been assumed to be of great evolutionary and ecological significance. However, in previous studies of reproductive allocation (RA) in plants, there has been no consensus of precisely what is being measured nor how it should be measured. An attempt was made to determine the 'best' method of measuring RA and then apply this to a range of species with differing ecological strategies. Under nutrient stress caused by a low N treatment Taraxacum officinale and Poa annua were found to maintain their RA despite up to 4 fold reductions in biomass. Under K and P deficient conditions there was a preferential allocation of these elements to reproductive structures in Taraxacum. Ruderal plants therefore, seem to maintain biomass RA and seed quality despite nutrient stress. Although the nutrient RA in Taraxacum was found to be significantly different from biomass RA (KRA = 71% PRA = 66% BRA= 51.7%) the extent of the difference varied between treatments. There was therefore no obvious alternative currency to biomass. The evolutionary consequences of reproduction may also be measured through a reproductive cost which may take the form of reduced future reproduction, survival or growth. Prevention of flowering in Digitalis purpurea resulted in an increase in the number of axillary buds produced, Similarly in Plantago lanceolata removal of flowers resulted in a 3 fold increase in production of buds. In both species realisation of a reproductive cost was prevented. The importance of individual variability was noted. The importance of plant morphology was evident and was used to explain some of the anomalous RA values in the comparative experiment. RA values were collected for 40 species of Gramineae. RA was a useful ecological index which emphasised the ruderal element of a plant's strategy. When used in conjunction with other parameters particularly Rmax, RA produced a meaningful classification of species in terms of their ecological strategy.

Gastrointestinal Antigen Processing and its Relevance to Enteric Vaccine Delivery in Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792)
Creators: name: LAVELLE, EDWARD CHARLES
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1994

description: An investigation of antigen processing in the rainbow trout gastrointestine was carried out to provide a rational basis for the design of oral delivery systems for protein antigens. Using in vitro systems involving isolated lumenal enzymes and gut cell suspensions the degradation of human gamma globulin (HGG) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was analysed by Western blotting and laser densitometry. Proteolysis by lumenal enzymes was dependant on pH and temperature and serine proteases were found to be partly responsible for antigen degradation in the intestine. The extent of intracellular proteolysis depended on the antigen used and on the gut region from which the cells were isolated. To test the predictive value of results obtained from the in vitro studies, the processing of HGG in the digestive tract after oral administration was investigated. The findings indicated that different regions of the gut perform distinct bur complementary roles in proteolysis. Measurement of the uptake of HGG into the bloodstream of these fish by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting indicated that the nature of proteins. absorbed from the gut could be influenced by altering the conditions in the gastrointestine. After parenteral and oral immunisation of HGG the antibody response was investigated in plasma and in mucosal and biliary secretions and found that a fragment of HGG produced by partial digestion with intestinal enzymes was highly antigenic in trout. The methods developed to study antigen processing in the gut were applied to assess the potential value of modern enteric delivery systems in teleosts. Encapsulation of HGG in poly lactide-co-glycolide (PLG) microparticles partially protected HGG from degradation in the gut and increased its absorption into the bloodstream. A live attenuated strain of Aeromonas salmonicida was shown to adhere to and invade isolated trout enterocytes and Atlantic Salmon tissue culture cells using a range of light - and electron microscopical techniques. These results indicate that an investigation into antigen processing by the gut is a valuable preliminary step in the formulation of oral delivery systems for teleosts.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This study has explored integration of the fisheries sector into marine planning in Scotland. Focus hasbeen on Scotland’s first regional marine spatial plan of the statutory model under the Marine ScotlandAct 2010. The Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters (PFOW) MSP is driven by the intention to site largescale arrays of wave and tidal energy devices in local waters. The 2010 announcement of proposalscoincided with the start of plan development and created early tensions with the inshore fishingindustry. The fishery is lightly regulated and largely managed by the fishermen themselves. It is ofgreat significance to the local economy and culture. The study demonstrates the measures, such assmall vessel VMS, taken to integrate the fishery into the plan. The work on the plan has acted as acatalyst to draw the fishermen and the renewables industry into dialogue to achieve greaterunderstanding although not necessarily accord. Other factors, such as the requirements of retailercustomers like Marks and Spencer, have acted to speed the introduction of measures to support asustainable fishery. Also important is the type of marine spatial plan which has resulted ‐ one basedon policy criteria for development and protection.

description: The cystophorous hemiurid cercariae, Cercaria vaullegeardi and C. calliostomae, are recorded from the digestive gland of Gibbula umbilicalis and the gonad of calliostoma ziziphinum respectively. The encysted forms are described at ultrastructural level for the first time, and developmental stages redescribed. Specialisation of the anterior region and birth pore of the daughter sporocyst in c. vaullegeardi, and migration of the redia in C. calliostomae, ensure that in neither species does the cercaria, hindered by a bulky immotile cystophorous tail, itself have to migrate through blood vessels or tissues to the site of emergence from the molluscan host. The inoculative mechanism whereby hemiurid cercariae infect the copepod second intermediate host is described for the first time in C. vaullegeardi. Experimental infections of the harpacticoid copepod Tigriopus brevicornis are recorded, and the infection process is related to the ultrastructure of the cercaria and to the feeding mechanics of harpacticoids. The cystophorous tail of C. vaullegeardi is shown to be a device whose shape and construction ensure that the cercarial body is neither damaged by copepod mouthparts nor swallowed, but reaches the host haemocoel during the initial stages of feeding. The metacercaria grows rapidly within T. brevicornis, virtually filling the haemocoel 21 days after infection when maintained at l7°C. The development of the ecsoma from the eversible excretory vesicle is described. Post-larval Gobius paganellus have been experimentally infected by feeding 21 day-old metacercariae of C. vaullegeardi raised in T. brevicornis. Encapsulated metacercariae and adults are recorded from 12 species of fish examined for natural hemiuroid infections. function of the hemiurid ecsoma is discussed in relation both 7 out of 12 species of fish examined for natural hemiuroid infections. The Function of the hemiurid ecsoma is discussed in relation both to habitat of the adult within the host pyloric stomach, and to ultrastructural and autoradiographic studies of metacercarial and adult stages.

Year: 2024
Subjects: Fisheries and aquaculture

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Despite of the increasing number of studies on marine spatial planning, few have documented its applicability to developing countries where data limitation and social complexity can be constraints. Using participatory-based methods and empirical research this study assessed how applicable are the methods of MSP in the Philippines, and what are the challenges that can be encountered in its implementation. The results of this study involved the accounting of legislations, institutions, and practices in marine governance nationwide; and an overview of existing maritime activities and management practices in the local setting. Gathered information shows that data limitation is not a hindrance in starting MSP but social complexity (i.e. un-coordinated multiple legislations and institutions) can be a challenge in implementing MSP in the Philippines.

Myanmar name:
Distribution: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Jordan, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. In Myanmar, no recent record of this species could be due to the misidentification of this species with U. javanica because of their similar morphology; however, it is possibly distributed in Chin State and central to the southern area.
Remarks: Due to taxonomic uncertainty, a revision based on molecular analysis is needed for this species in Myanmar.

Biomarkers of chemical impacts in the freshwater invertebrates Asellusaquaticus and Pacifastacus leniusculus
Creators: name: O'NEILL, ANNE JENNIE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2004

description: The international scientific community has grown increasingly concerned that exposure to low levels of anthropogenic chemicals may disturb hormone function and/or sub lethal toxicity to other cells or organ systems in vertebrate and invertebrate species. This research programme was designed to develop, evaluate, and apply a range of biological and chemical indicators in the laboratory and/or field to assess the impact of sublethal toxicants including potential endocrine disaipting chemicals in the aquatic invertebrates, Asellus aquaticus (isopod) and Pacifasiacus leniiisciiius (decapod). Laboratory exposures of A. aquaticiis to environmentally realistic concentrations of known contaminants present within the river systems have demonstrated a link between health status and chemical exposure. Exposure to the organoiins, tributyltin and triphenyltin, and the pesticides, dichlorvos and endosulphan, demonstrated that adults were adversely affected at the biochemical (esterase activities) and physiological level (ventilation rates), as well as disrupting embryo development during in vitro investigations. Field studies demonstrated that cholinesierase and carboxyleslerase activities, ventilatory rates, growth, sex ratios, number of copulatory pairs and ovigerous females, fecundity, and embryonic growth, development and survival were all adversely affected to some extent in the isopod at sites downstream of industrial and domestic effluent discharges in comparison to control populations. Some links were established between the biological parameters measured and sediment faecal sterol content and/or water physico-chemical parameters and comparisons of multiple biomarkers did demonstrate differences between organisms collected at reference and contaminated sites which may be an indicator of environmental stress. A preliminary field investigation of P. lenittscultis collected from sites of mild sewage pollution indicated statistically significant changes in some responses at the cellular (cell viability), molecular (micronucleus formation), and physiological (heart rate) level. The significance of these changes at the population level was not determined, however, there is evidently a need to conduct laboratory exposures of P. leniusculits to sewage effiuent and its individual components to determine whether the responses observed in the field are indicative of sewage contamination. In the present study, the sublethal responses of A. aquaticits and P. len len leniusculus to a range of endocrine disrupting chemicals has been investigated in laboratory and field settings and although cause and effect could not be demonstrated conclusively, this study has gone some way in identifying possible causative agents of these adverse effects in invertebrate populations.
title: Maritime Spatial Planning and the Baltic Sea commercial trawl fisheries: Estonian Case
Creators: name: Fetissov, Mihhail

Publisher: name: ASC 2015 - Theme session O

Subjects: Fisheries and aquaculture

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The new Estonian Planning Act (published on 26.02.2015) is providing the legal basis for planning of Estonian coastal zone and the marine waters under the Estonian jurisdiction including the Estonian Exclusive Economic Zone in the Baltic Sea (area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea). Recently published Estonian Planning Act legally supports also the full implementation by Estonia of the Directive 2014/89/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning. Estonian Baltic Sea commercial trawl fisheries compete for space with other maritime activities that use the sea area e.g. shipping, extraction of raw materials, offshore wind parks, aquaculture, and the implementation of nature-protection measures. Spatial and seasonal dynamics of Estonian trawl fisheries operations is analysed using data from Estonian National Electronic Log-Book Database and the ArcGIS analytical tools with aim to inform the actual MSP process in Estonia starting in 2016. Potential spatial conflicts and co-use options are identified and discussed.

 Lectotype (Grierson in Davis in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh 33: 252. 1974): Herb. Clifford: 415, Matricaria 1 (BM-000647192).
 Current name:  Matricaria chamomilla  L. (Asteraceae).
 Note: Applequist (in Taxon 51: 757-761. 2003) gives a detailed review of the nomenclatural complexities associated with this name, and accepts Grierson’s type choice (a specimen of chamomile). Although both M. chamomilla and M. recutita L. (which has also been used for the species) date from 1753, Applequist argues that M. chamomilla is the correct name, Visiani having been the first to combine the two in 1844.
