AN EXAMINATION OF SOME ASPECTS OF GROWTH AND NUTRITION OF JUVENILE GREY MULLET (MUGILIDAE) IN RELATION TO POTENTIAL MULLET FARMING IN BRITAIN
Creators: name: Graham, Alison J.
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1981

description: The growth of juvenile (0 - III group) C. labrosus, L. aurata and L. ramada was examined in the Tamar, Lynher and Yealm estuaries in south-west England. Two growth models were used to facilitate comparisons among species, age groups and sites of capture. The growth of C. labrosus and L. ramada was similar and faster than that of L. aurata. The growth and relative condition of 0 group fish tended to be greater in St. John's Lake than at other sites, but amongst older fish the reverse appeared to be true. Annual and daily cycles in feeding intensity were examined. A high daily food intake and fast passage of food through the gut appeared to be characteristic of both C. labrosus and L. aurata. In the spring 100% of fish examined were infected w1th cysts of Myxbolus exiguus but this did not appear to have any significant effect on growth or condition. Three 12-15 week feeding experiments were undertaken to examine aspects of the nutrition of I group C. labrosus using experimental diets of semi-purified rations. In the first and second experiments the effect of dietary protein level and ration size on growth was investigated. There was a significant interaction between these factors with optimum dietary protein level decreasing with increase in ration size, and optimum ration decreasing with increase in dietary protein level. In the third experiment the ability of juvenile mullet to utilise dietary energy supplied as either lipid + carbohydrate or mainly carbohydrate in diets containing 20% and 40% protein was examined. Increase in dietary energy resulted in improved growth, but lipid energy had a greater protein sparing effect than carbohydrate energy. The effects of dietary protein and energy level, energy source and ration size on conversion efficiency, assimilation of the diet, histology and size of certain organs, and body composition were also investigated.

description: A circadian clock is present in some capacity in almost all forms of life, and is useful for a wide array of traits, but crucially allows organisms to predict future conditions and adapt their behaviour to synchronise with, and thrive under, their dynamic environment. Accordingly, plant environmental stress responses are gated in a circadian manner, including that for pathogenic defence and immunity. Comparatively less work has been carried out on the plant pathogens, but there are increasing reports of pathogens capable of rhythmically altering their behaviour and virulence-related traits. Magnaporthe oryzae, the fungal pathogen responsible for the destruction of enough rice to feed at least 60 M people annually, has been shown to possess some circadian clock components, and based on bioinformatic analyses, likely contains all the core, accessory, and circadian-associated genes. M. oryzae displays a conidial banding pattern, reminiscent of the model clock species, N. crassa, and (after sufficient entrainment) this pattern can continue to occur under free running conditions for a number of days, with a period of approximately 24 h. This rhythm is also presented on a range of nutrient-rich and poor media, suggesting a nutritionally-compensated circadian rhythm in M. oryzae. This onset of conidial banding is partially determined by the presence of secreted metabolites, the sensation of which is facilitated by the circadian clock, predominantly via WC2. The entraining light conditions that M. oryzae is exposed to can significantly alter its vegetative growth, conidiation and conidial development, and even pathogenicity. Further, inoculation timing (dawn or dusk) plays a role in both the virulence of M. oryzae, and in the susceptibility of the plant host, seemingly in a species-by-species manner, where rice is most susceptible at dawn, and barley most susceptible at dusk. For M. oryzae, pre-inoculation entrainment to darkness predominantly favours dawn inoculations, and those exposed to prolonged periods of light prefer dusk inoculation. Upon mutation of the core clock genes, WC2 and FRQ, vegetative growth, conidiation and conidial development, photoadaptation, and pathogenicity were all significantly altered compared to the wild type, suggesting an important role of the clock in the general fitness of M. oryzae. This work discusses how entraining light cycles and the circadian clock impacts the growth, development, conidiation, virulence, and ultimate severity in the economically important rice blast disease.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Characterisation modelling in Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) quantifies impacts of anthropogenic emissions by applying substance-specific impact potentials, or Characterisation Factors (CF), to the amount of substances emitted. Nitrogen (N) emissions from human activities enrich coastal marine ecosystems and promote planktonic growth that may lead to marine eutrophication impacts. Excessive algal biomass and dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion typify the ecosystem response to the nutrient input. The present novel method couples a mechanistic model of coastal biological processes that determines the ecosystem response (exposure) to anthropogenic N enrichment (eXposure Factor, XF [kgO2·kgN-1]) with the sensitivity of species exposed to oxygen-depleted waters (Effect Factor, EF [(PAF)·m3·kgO2-1], expressed as a Potentially Affected Fraction (PAF) of species). Thus, the coupled indicator (XF*EF, [(PAF)·m3·kgN-1]) represents the potential impact on benthic and demersal marine species caused by N inputs. Preliminary results range from 2 (PAF)·m3·kgN-1 (Central Arctic Ocean) to 94 (PAF)·m3·kgN-1 (Baltic Sea). Comparative contributions per country or watersheds can also be obtained. Further adding environmental fate modelling of N emissions completes the CF for eutrophying emissions making it a useful contribution for sustainability assessment of human activities, as applied in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Recruitment to the Eastern Baltic cod stock depends on the availability of saline and oxygenated waters to ensure the fertilization and early development of cod eggs. Frequency and strength of major Baltic inflows, which transport saline and oxygen-rich water into the deep Central Baltic basins, have therefore been regarded as major factors that determine the recruitment success of Eastern Baltic cod.Eutrophication has increased the importance of oxygen-dependent egg mortality for cod recruitment.Biogeochemical model simulations show that under present climate and nutrient loads successful cod egg development in the Eastern Gotland Basin unlikely. Thus, in the present hypoxic Baltic Sea, eutrophication has become a major driver for cod egg survival.
VARIATION IN POD WETTABILITY AND PERMEABILITY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR IMPROVING SPOILAGE CHARACTERISTICS IN THE DRIED PEA (Pisum sativum L.) CROP
Creators: name: MILES, SIMON NICHOLAS
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1993

description: This investigation was designed to determine some of the causes of spoilage in the pea crop. It was found that physiological and morphological characteristics of the pods were related to degrees of spoilage experienced by a range of varieties. This included the amount and configuration of epicuticular waxes affecting pod surface wettabilities which, together with total pod wall and parchment layer thicknesses, all contributed to high rates of water uptake and water contents in pod tissues. Water content was determined to be closely correlated to the degree of pod spoilage observed in the field. Pod phenotypes which were badly affected included waxless and parchmentless varieties which were unable to resist the uptake of water, and thick walled pods which retained water for longer periods. Thin walled varieties and those with neoplasms were more successful, not because they resisted water uptake, but because they were able to dispel it rapidly so reducing the length of wetness periods. The most detrimental environments for pod development were those with fluctuating parameters, particularly temperature. This caused the disruption of epicuticular wax conformation increasing surface wettability. It may also have had the effect of decreasing pod wall integrity. Humidity had much less of an independent effect but combined with certain temperatures it became more significant. High temperature/low humidity environments caused high water potential gradients from pod to atmosphere and possible tissue damage leading to high spoilage potential. High temperature/high humidity lengthened periods of water retention in the pods. Yield and spoilage of leafless and parchmentless phenotypes were most sensitive to environment. Pod characteristics determined to be advantageous in this investigation could be incorporated into a wider breeding strategy which includes the improvement of standing ability and root formation so that peas become a more attractive alternative source of protein.

EFFECTS OF COPPER ON GILL STRUCTURE AND PHYSIOLOGY IN CARCINUS MAENAS
Creators: name: HEBEL, DAGMAR KARINA
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1997

description: The effects of sublethal copper exposure at three levels of biological organisation were studied in the common shore crab Carcinus maenas (L.) (Crustacea, Decapoda). The three levels included the ultrastructure of respiratory and osmoregulatory gill tissues; ventilatory physiology (scaphognathite activity); and tissue metallothionein levels. Respiratory gill epithelia were more sensitive to sublethal copper exposure than osmoregulatory gill tissues. The cellular damage observed included severe epithelial necrosis and vacuolation, hyperplasia and haemocyte infiltration. In the respiratory gills, these changes were first present following exposure to 100 µg Cu Lˉ¹ At 500 µg Cu Lˉ¹, there was complete degeneration of the epithelia. In osmoregulatory gills, lipofuscin granules were formed at 300 µg Cu Lˉ¹. Signs of cellular damage (as observed in respiratory gills) appeared in the osmoregulatory gills only following exposure to 500 µg Cu Lˉ¹, and were restricted to areas proximal to the marginal canal. Copper concentrations below 100 µg Cu Lˉ¹ had no effect on gill tissues. This result is discussed with reference to previous studies, and related to inter-population differences and exposure techniques. Gill ultrastructural differences were observed in crabs from two estuaries with different levels of water-borne trace metals, and in crabs transplanted from the cleaner to the more polluted site. Differences included . varying densities of plasmalemmal folds and frequencies of cellular vacuolation, as well as composition and thickness of algal surface layers on the gill cuticle. Following laboratory copper exposures (500 µg Cu Lˉ¹), gill ultrastructural "damage" and tissue metallothionein levels were related to changes in scaphognathite activity. Physiological effects, including changes in scaphognathite rate and periods of apnoea, were exacerbated by increased temperature and hypoxia. Changes in scaphognathite activity and metallothionein levels were not consistent following several exposures to the same level of copper; results are discussed in relation to physiological influences. In contrast, gill ultrastructure showed consistent deterioration following exposure to 500 µg Cu Lˉ¹. Gill ultrastructure represents a reliable indicator of exposure to copper at this concentration compared to both scaphognathite activity and metallothionein concentrations.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The world’s climate has changed and human activities will continue to contribute to the acceleration of greenhouse gases and temperature rise. The major drivers of these changes on coastal hypoxia are increased temperature, altered hydrological cycles and shifts in wind patterns that might alter coastal currents. Increasing temperatures alone have the potential to strengthen stratification in coastal waters, but lower surface salinity (e.g., from increased freshwater runoff) would be more of a factor in stratifying the water column. The combination of increased nutrient loads (from human activities) and predicted increased freshwater discharge will aggravate the high loads of nutrients from the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, strengthen stratification (all other factors remaining the same), and worsen the hypoxia situation. Reduced precipitation, on the other hand, would lower the amount of nutrients and water reaching the coastal zone and, perhaps, lead to oligotrophication and reduced fisheries productivity, or perhaps alleviate hypoxia. The increase or decrease in flow, flux of nutrients and water temperature will have important, but as yet not clearly identifiable, influences on hypoxia. In anticipation of negative effects, nutrient loadings to coastal waters need to be reduced now, so that further water quality degradation is prevented.

 Current name:  Medicago minima  (L.) Bartal. (Fabaceae: Faboideae).
 Note: Shinners (in Rhodora 58: 3. 1956) questioned whether the recombination of var. minima at species rank was made by Linnaeus (in Fl. Anglica: 21. 1954). Shinners suggested that this is an error of interpretation, as Linnaeus subsequently continued to treat the taxon as a variety of M. polymorpha. Shinners accepted Bartalini (1776) as the first to make the combination at species rank, as did Stearn (Introd. Ray’s Syn. Meth. Stirp. Brit.  (Ray Soc. ed.): 57. 1973). Greuter (in Candollea 44: 563. 1989) disagreed, arguing that the combination dates from 1754. Brummitt & Meikle (in Watsonia 19: 181-183. 1993) argued, however, that there are typographical variants of the thesis which make it unreasonable to interpret names such as this (though they focussed particularly on two names in Primula) as a new combination.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Research on the effects of hypoxia on fish, shellfish and fisheries has generally focused on seasonal or persistent low oxygen, and has generated a great deal of information on processes ranging from gene expression to food web interactions. Expanding to smaller scales (especially short temporal fluctuations) or to whole-system responses can be difficult, however, because of the range of compensatory mechanisms and the presence of co-occurring stressors. Our research shows that even short-term but repeated exposures can affect oyster growth, filtration rates and susceptibility to pathogens, as well as fish growth and behavior. But compensation and acclimation that occur through morphological, behavioral and physiological mechanisms can influence long-term consequences, and co-occurring stressors can influence sensitivity to hypoxia. Looking across systems, we have found that associated nutrient enrichment may modulate effects of hypoxia, but the spatial extent of hypoxia influences trophic structure and the relationship between nutrient loads and fish biomass. We must also begin to look further and consider the global ocean that includes both nutrient-driven and naturally occurring hypoxic zones. Climate change is predicted to increase the severity and geographic extent of hypoxia in both estuaries and the open ocean, with unknown consequences for populations, fisheries and food security.
ONTOGENETIC STUDIES OF IMMUNITY AND TOLERANCE IN XENOPUS LAEVIS (DAUDIN)

Year: 1985

description: Xenopus laevis injected with sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) at Stage 48 of Nieuwkoop and Faber (1967) showed no evidence of tolerance induction as a result of early exposure to antigen. These experiments showed that priming during the larval stages of development (at Stages 48 and 54 or at Stage 56) led to a positive anamnestic response when the animals were challenged after metamorphosis as toadlets. It was not, however, possible to demonstrate enhanced secondary responses within the larval period itself. The effect of the alkylating agent, cyclophosphamide on the generation of immunological memory varies at different stages of development. In the larva, positive memory cells generated at the time of priming may be the population most affected by the drug, whereas in adults the evidence suggests that suppressor cells may have been eliminated by the cyclophosphamide treatment. Cyclophosphamide had no tolerogenic effect when administered with a primary injection of SRBC even at larval Stage 48. It is concluded that, although transplantation tolerance to allografts has been demonstrated in Xenopus laevis, these free-living larvae are not vulnerable to tolerance induction by xenogeneic antigens. On the contrary, both HGG (human gamma globulin) and SRBC induce positive anamnesis in the larva which can be expressed post-metamorphosis. Tolerance was only observed in the present experiments to soluble antigen (HGG) injected in high doses, such as could induce tolerance in the adult as well as in tadpoles. In contrast to their ability to react to xenogeneic antigens with the induction of positive memory, larvae injected with live allogeneic cells (adult blood leucocytes) failed to produce any anamnestic response when challenged as toadlets. These cells, injected by various routes into larvae from Stage 47 to Stage 57 induced neither tolerance nor positive memory. The recipients responded in a primary manner both in mixed leucocyte reactions and to skin grafts.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Marine hypoxia creates a sequence of changes in redox‐sensitive ion availability. As oxygen isconsumed by organic matter decomposition or other processes, other electron acceptors are usedsequentially: nitrate reduction, manganese and iron reduction, sulfate reduction, and finallymethanogenesis. Manganese, when reduced, is in dissolved form and is thus available in the watercolumn. Otoliths, the small, calcium carbonate structures that form part of the acoustico‐lateralissystem in fishes, readily take up available Mn. We and others have observed that uptake appears tobe a function not only of availability, but also a function of fish growth rate. We explore plausiblemechanisms by developing a simulation model that incorporates both a bioenergetics module and abiogeochemistry module. The biogeochemistry module simulates seasonal hypoxia and cycling ofmanganese between particulate and dissolved forms. The bioenergetics module produces vonBertalanffy type growth over a 10‐year simulation period. Both mechanisms are shown to affect Mnuptake, and produce reasonable patterns of uptake similar to actual measurements.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.During the Norwegian Trans-Atlantic cruise covering the central parts of four north Atlantic ocean basins, the Norwegian Sea (NS), Iceland Sea (ICS), Irminger Sea (IRS), and Labrador Sea (LS), data on vertical distributions of mesozooplankton to micronekton components were collected using a combination of hull-mounted and towed multi-frequency acoustics, OPC (Optical Particle Counter), and VPR (Video Plankton Recorder). In addition, data on both surface light, as well as the light regimes in different hydrographical regions were collected. Daytime depths of mesopelagic scattering layers showed strong correlation with optical conditions, with shallow daytime distributions occurring in regions with low light penetration, and deeper daytime distributions in regions with clearer waters. For micronekton, DVM behaviour in the eastern basins (NS and ICS) was heavily influenced by the short summer nights, with duration of nocturnal descent coinciding with night lengths, and depths reached during nighttime depending on latitude. Mesozooplankton showed less pronounced migrations and were generally more shallowly distributed during the day. Recent works have suggested a strong dependence of daytime depths of vertical migrators on oxygen conditions, but in the highly oxygenated North Atlantic light conditions at depth appear to exert a strong control on their vertical distribution. Since factors controlling vertical distribution and migratory behaviour may affect predator-prey relationships through vertical overlap, we explore vertical overlap between mesozooplankton prey and micronekton predators under different optical regimes during the 2013 Norwegian Euro-BASIN cruise.

Sars undertook a cruise from Bergen to Nuuk and back during May and June 2013. Mesozooplankton was sampled on stations in the basins of the Norwegian, Iceland, Irminger and Labrador Seas. We investigate the major basin scale differences in species composition, vertical distribution, phenology and abundance of the mesozooplankton community. Further, we analyze these differences in relation to both biotic (chlorophyll and predators) and abiotic (light, temperature and salinity) factors in order to enhance our understanding of the underlying ecological similarities and differences in these four important ocean basins.

IMMUNOLOGICAL MEMORY IN YOUNG FISH AND AMPHIBIANS: STUDIES ON CYPRINUS CARPIO, CHELON LABROSUS AND XENOPUS LAEVIS
Creators: name: MUGHAL, MOHAMMAD SHARIF
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1984

description: This study asks whether antigens encountered early in life by animals with free-living larvae can prime the immune system to yield memory responses on subsequent exposure and, if so, whether positive immunity or immunological tolerance is induced. In 4-week old carp, Cyprinus carpio, the thymus dependent antigen human gamma globulin (HGG) was tolerogenic both in soluble form and attached to latex particles, Formalin-killed Aeromonas salmonicida bacteria, in contrast, elicited primary antibody production and induced enhanced secondary responses. By the age of 9-10 weeks HGG was no longer tolerogenic even when injected into the thymus or administered orally. Despite their antibody tolerance fish primed with HGG at 4 weeks old resembled A. salmonicida-treated fish in their ability to elicit proliferative responses in the spleen and kidney after challenge, Direct immersion vaccination of 4-week old carp yielded enhanced antibody and proliferative responses on challenge with A. salmonicida. With particle-borne HGG it partially suppressed secondary antibody production but still yielded enhanced proliferation. Both carp and Xenopus laevis larvae were refractory to stimulation with soluble HGG by direct immersion. Mullet, Chelon labrosus, aged 6-7 months possessed well developed lymphoid organs but unlike adult fish required priming, orally or by injection, before they could respond to soluble antigens. In X. laevis, HGG induced positive memory rather than tolerance even in week-old larvae except when very high doses were employed such as induce tolerance in adults also. Injection of immune complexes into X. laevis toadlets resulted in accelerated antigen trapping and enhanced antibody production. Spleen cells which trap antigen can be separated on Percoll gradients and injected into non-immunized toadlets. This results in splenic antigen localization and accelerated antibody production. Foreign albumins were localized in the Xenopus spleen but yielded poor antibody production both in amphibians and fish.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Temperature increase associated with global climate change can be expected to directly influence the spawning success of fish species. We investigated and compared responses of development time and survival of fish eggs from 32 species and populations in the North Atlantic to different temperatures in order to assess and compare potential consequences of global warming for these species. The response of development time to temperature increase exhibited a decreasing trend. The similar slopes of regression lines relating development time and temperature indicate similar sensitivity to temperature changes. Across-species differences were mainly driven by intercept values, indicating up to 8-fold differences in development time at given temperature. Moreover, the sensitivity of survival of eggs from different species to temperature increase differed among species, indicating different vulnerabilities. The results quantify physiological effects of temperature on the eggs and show that such effects are major factors leading to a close correspondence between the physiological optimal temperature for survival and observed temperature at spawning sites. Temperature during egg development appears to be a key evolutionary force affecting spawning time and location.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A full life-cycle model for Calanus finmarchicus embedded in the physical-biological model system NORWCOM.E2E has been evaluated for the Norwegian Sea for the period 1995-2007. The inter annual zooplankton biomass variability was large, up to a factor of three for the period 1995-2007, and there was a negative trend toward the end of the time series. In the model, this negative trend is explained by bottom-up processes, and not related to increased predation pressure by fish. The mean annual production was found to be 22.6 million tons (MT) carbon (= 150 MT wet weight), with a maximum in 1997 (34.5 MT carbon) and a minimum in 2004 (13 MT carbon). The model showed a delay in the maximum of biomass and timing of the spring bloom compared to available observations, but for nearly all months for all years, the observations lay between the maximum and minimum values within a time- and space window of 10 days and ± 2 grid cells of the model. The sampling pattern was proved to be of great significance to the results in the model, producing biomass estimates for individual years varying by a factor of three.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Marine zooplankton populations are generally believed to be bottom-up controlled. However, most studies from the Norwegian Sea-Barents Sea area (NS-BS) have focused on top-down control by planktivorous fish. We quantify bottom-up effects on Calanus finmarchicus biomass by including particle tracking in statistical analyses of survey data from NS-BS between 1959 and 1993. Spatial variation in C. finmarchicus biomass in summer is positively related to back-calculated temperature in spring, reflecting that more biomass originates from warmer areas closer to the core overwintering areas in the Norwegian Sea. However, a warm spring does not generally result in overall increased summer biomass. In warm springs, overall biomass is generally high, and population growth from spring to summer is lower than in cold years. Further, C. finmarchicus biomass in summer relates positively to increased wind in spring when the mixed-layer-depth (MLD) is shallow. The same wind-MLD combination relates positively to chlorophyll biomass in spring, possibly by prolonging the spring bloom with nutrient replenishment. These results suggest that C. finmarchicus biomass in summer is influenced by bottom-up effects of food availability in spring.
