title: Fish diversity of Indian Sundarban and its resource and research prospects: Fishes Checklist

description: The updated list of fishes of Sundarban gives information of about 350 species belonging to 225 genera, 86 families distributed in 25 orders occurring in this region. Cartilaginous fishes or Elasmobranchs comprise only 10.3% of fishes known, i.e., 36 species belonging to 21 genera, 10 families and 6 orders.The rest, 314 species (89.7%) in 204 genera, 76 families and 19 orders are bony fishes. Among the fishes occurring in Indian Sundarban, the family Gobiidae is the most diverse group with 40 species, followed by Sciaenidae (18 spp.) and Engraulidae (17 spp.).The highest representation of elasmobranchs is by the gray sharks (Carcharhinidae, 10 spp.), followed by stingrays (Dasyatidae, 9 spp.).

title: Fishes associated with spinner dolphins at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, tropical Western Atlantic: an update and overview: Fishes Checklist

description: An update is presented for fish species associated with spinner dolphins at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, tropical Western Atlantic, providing a general view of their diversity. The associates are mostly reef-dwelling fishes that feed on the dolphin wastes. Twelve species are habitual or occasional plankton-eaters and two species are herbivores that occasionally forage on floating pieces of algae. One species is a strict carnivore, one species is a hitchhiker that forages on a variety of foods including parasites and dead tissue from the dolphins, and one species is a carnivore that joins the dolphin groups to forage on schools of small fishes or squids. We predict that the list of fish associated with spinner dolphins will expand mostly with addition of habitual or occasional plankton-eaters.

title: Comparaison des inventaires de poissons dans les aires marines prot?g?es de M?diterran?e : influence de la surface et de l?anciennet?: Fishes Checklist

description: Les inventaires r?alis?s dans 8 r?serves marines de M?diterran?e ont ?t? compar?s statistiquement apr?s avoir ?t? compl?t?s : Port-Cros (France), Lavezzi et Scandola (Corse, France), Monaco, M?des (Espagne), Termiti, Torre Guaceto et Porto Cesareo (Italie). Ces aires marines prot?g?es pr?sentent des biotopes comparables, mais des dates de cr?ation (1963, Port-Cros ? 1997, Porto Cesareo) et des surfaces diff?rentes (418 ha, M?des, ? 16600 ha ? Porto Cesareo). Les inventaires, r?alis?s avec des m?thodes vari?es (relev?s visuels en plong?e sous-marine, anesth?siques, empoisonnements, captures par filets ou lignes), ont ?t? compar?s ? l?aide des indices d?velopp?s par Clarke etWarwick (diversit? taxinomique moyenne et sa variance). Au total, 215 esp?ces sont report?es pour Port-Cros, 198 pour Scandola, 191 pour les Lavezzi, 136 pour les M?des, 108 pour Monaco, 105 pour Torre Guaceto, 75 pour Tremiti et Porto Cesareo, ? comparer aux 331 esp?ces retenues pour le peuplement th?orique en M?diterran?e (sous-esp?ces, esp?ces profondes ou lessepsiennes exclues). Le nombre d?esp?ces trouv?es ? Port-Cros, ? Scandola ou aux Lavezzi correspond ? la diversit? attendue en M?diterran?e. La variance de la diversit? taxinomique des zones convenablement prot?g?es correspond aussi ? celle qui est attendue en M?diterran?e. La richesse sp?cifique et la diversit? taxinomique sont corr?l?es ? l?anciennet? des aires prot?g?es, mais pas ? leur taille. En terme de mise en place de nouvelles aires prot?g?es, cela signifie que le degr? de surveillance et la p?rennit? des zones prot?g?es sont plus importants que la surface de la r?serve pour abriter un peuplement de poissons riche en nombre d?esp?ces.

title: Subtidal macrobenthos monitoring in function of a foreshore suppletion at the Belgian coast, period 2013-2016

description: What ecological effects does a foreshore suppletion, and a beach suppletion, have on the marine ecosystem in the intertidal and shallow surf zone (
description: This dataset contain the macrobenthic data collected in the subtidal area. Macrobenthos are the biota that lives in the sediment and are retained on a sieve of 1mm. The sampling design for the monitoring is following the BACI-design (Before After Control Impact), with a control area with similar habitat characteristics outside the influence of the suppletion activity. There is sampled before the suppletion and in the following two years after suppletion. In this BACI-monitoring, the seasonal aspect is taken into account, by taking samples in spring (March) and autumn (September). In the subtidal area, three depth strata were determined to investigated the influence of the suppletion outside the suppletion area. Stratum a (between low water line and -2m TAW) is the area were the foreshore suppletion is executed. Stratum b and c are taken respectively the depth zones -3m to -4m and -5m to -6m TAW. The amount of sampling locations was determined by the client and determines 15 points for each sampling moment. That amount of samples was via a systematic random stratified strategy distributed over each stratum (5 in each strata). The samples were taken with a Van Veen grab (0.1m²). The samples were sieved alive on a 1mm sieve and then fixed with an 8% formaldehyde-seawater solution. The sieved material is stained with eosin. All biota were determined and counted to species level following a standardized taxonomic discrimination protocol. This to determine the determination level and if certain life stages (larvae, juveniles) need to be discriminated. The biomass is determined as wet weight. All macrobenthic samples were taken following the ISO16665:2005(E)) (“Water quality – Guidelines for quantitative sampling and sample processing of marine soft-bottom macrofauna”). Moreover, the analyses (identification, counts and biomass) were conform NBN EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard executed (cfr. BELAC nr. 315-TEST: date 28/04/2016, valid until 05/03/2020).

title: Infaunal SACFOR abundance data from underwater video footage from selected Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Northern Ireland, 2017

description: This series contains information on the SACFOR abundance of benthic infauna species from video footage from selected Special Areas of Conservation (SAC’s) in Northern Irish waters. The selected SAC’s have previous multibeam data available for each site, therefore this project was to provide ground-truthing evidence for these habitats. The surveys took place from 2017-09-25 to 2017-09-27 on board the RV Corystes and the selected SAC’s are as follows; Red Bay SAC, The Maidens SAC and Skerries and Causeway SAC. Both a towed sledge camera and a drop frame camera were used in these surveys. The video sledge was attached by a 400m cable with a USBL system, scaling lasers and an ancillary GoPro. A 0.1m2 day grab was also used as further ground-truthing but this information is not included in this dataset. Particle size analysis and Carbon and Nitrogen analysis were also carried out (not included in this dataset). Information on the substrate was collected and is included in this dataset. In total there were 13 successful sledge camera tows and 7 successful drop frame camera tows.

title: Heterobranquios observados en la Expedición Seaflower Isla Cayo Bolivar 2022 - Proyecto Colombia BIO

description: La infraclase Euthyneura (Heterobranchia: Mollusca) incluye especies que exhiben gran diversidad en formas, tamaños y coloraciones. En Colombia, es posible encontrar especies de este clado tanto en el Caribe como en el Pacífico, asociadas a diversos ecosistemas (e.g., arrecifales coralinos y rocosos). A pesar de la importancia que reviste el conocimiento de los invertebrados marinos asociados a un ecosistema, y en este caso particular a los moluscos de la infraclase Euthyneura, los estudios sobre este tipo de organismos son básicamente inexistentes en la región del Caribe insular colombiano. Por el contrario, estudios sobre los moluscos con concha en sitios cercanos al continente son más fáciles de encontrar. Con el objetivo de determinar la biodiversidad de Heterobranchia: Euthyneura, presente en los ecosistemas arrecifales submareales someros de la Isla Cayos de Bolívar, se realizaron muestreos usando la metodología ECORAPs a través de careteo y buceo libre en los rangos de profundidad de 0,20 a 35 m. Se encontraron 14 especies de babosas y liebres marinas que fueron fotografiadas e identificadas in situ y de las cuales se recolectaron algunos especímenes que fueron preservados en viales con etanol al 96%. Lo anterior, permitió obtener una lista de especies que permite ampliar los reportes previos y aportar al conocimiento y conservación del grupo, y generar un catálogo visual de las especies de Euthyneura asociadas a los ecosistemas arrecifales de la Isla Cayos de Bolívar en la Reserva de la Biosfera Seaflower.

title: Moluscos manglares de áreas afectadas por hidrocarburos en zona costera y piedemonte del departamento de Nariño

description: Se presentan 1403 registros de epifauna, correspondientes a moluscos manglares de las clases Gastropoda y Bivalvia, colectados en febrero y abril del 2017 en los esteros de Curay, Trujillo, Bocarande, Terán y Chontal los cuales se localizan en jurisdicción el municipio de San Andrés de Tumaco, Nariño.
description: La epifauna fue dominada en términos de abundancia relativa por los moluscos y los crustáceos en número de especies. De la totalidad de especies Cerithideopsis californica sumó más del 50% de la abundancia total del muestreo. Las especies que dominaron en abundancia junto a C. californica, fueron Littoraria zebra, Leptuca thayeri, Goniopsis pulchra, Littoraria fasciata, Ucides occidentalis y Sesarma aequatoriale abarcando casi un 80% del total.
description: En la evaluación de especies indicadoras, se conoce que las poblaciones de invertebrados, particularmente los moluscos y gasterópodos, son clasificados como intermedios en función de su sensibilidad a los hidrocarburos (Ramos-Castellanos, 2003). Los organismos expuestos a hidrocarburos presentan efectos de toxicidad que pueden causar mortalidad en cortos periodos de tiempo o alteraciones por exposición a largo plazo de los contaminantes; en este contexto, la baja densidad de especies de crustáceos respecto a los moluscos registrada en la zona, así como la ausencia de cirripedios vivos en las raíces presentes en el área de estudio, se puede relacionar con un impacto directo en los hábitos de vida y en los ciclos de desarrollo por la presencia de hidrocarburos, puesto que son organismos con ciclos de vida relativamente cortos, que se pueden ver afectados disminuyendo el éxito reproductivo, y por ende la densidad de especies.

title: Stationary visual census of commercial fishes in Mayotte (2023)

description: Since its establishment in 2010, the Mayotte Marine Natural Park has been promoting fishing activities beyond the lagoon, specifically targeting pelagic species to alleviate fishing pressure on reef species. However, despite these efforts, catches of reef fish remain notably high. In 2020, reef carnivores (groupers, snappers…), constituted approximately 35% of the total catches. Ensuring the sustainability of reef fishing necessitates regular assessments of Mayotte's commercial reef fish populations. This study aims to evaluate the current status of these populations and comprehend their dynamics by comparing them with historical data. Scuba diving was employed for the assessment of ichthyological populations and habitat description. In 2023, a total of 96 sites, comprising 1,100 stations (Stationary visual census), were sampled, covering a combined sampled area of 169,400 m2, with an in situ observation duration totalling 110 hours.

title: Aportes al conocimiento de la biodiversidad de aguas profundas del mar Caribe colombiano

description: La exploración y caracterización de los fondos marinos puede llegar a ser muy importante para aspectos de soberanía y economía, dada la gran cantidad de recursos naturales que se encuentran en el mar profundo. Pese a que aproximadamente 44% del territorio colombiano se encuentra sumergido, el conocimiento de los fondos marinos más allá de una profundidad de 150 m es limitado en Colombia. La biodiversidad de las aguas profundas es actualmente muy poco conocida en la región del sur del Caribe, ya que no se ha llevado a cabo ninguna exploración sistemática que permita el descubrimiento de patrones de diversidad biológica. La mayor limitante para esta exploración y caracterización es la falta de equipos de alta tecnología que permiten llegar a profundidades de más de 1000 m.
description: Anadarko Colombia Company (ACC) es una empresa internacional que realiza exploración de hidrocarburos en aguas profundas y ultra profundas colombianas. Durante la fase de exploración, ha realizado diversos estudios (toma de muestras del fondo marino, batimetría e interpretación de señales de retro dispersión de alta resolución, pozos exploratorios) que le han permitido tener confirmaciones visuales, remotas y directas, de diferentes organismos del fondo marino, contando con un archivo invaluable de imágenes (fotos y videos) del fondo marino que representan los primeros registros en Colombia a más de 1500 m de profundidad.
