description: Abstract:Marine invasive species have become a widespread phenomenon, with devastating ecological and economic consequences. Current research focuses mainly on monitoring the ecological impacts of invasive species, rather than aiming to understand the mechanisms facilitate or drive them. Landscape characteristics such as substrate configuration, patchiness, and resource availability, are known determinants of the behavior and distribution of marine species. Such components change substantially over space and time, and little is known on how the impact of invasive species may vary accordingly. This research focuses on an invasive rabbitfish species Siganus rivulatus, previously native to the Indo-Pacific. Along the Mediterranean coast, S. rivulatus is shown to have devastating impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems’ resilience, and community structures. My research aims to understand how the species’ behavior and impact are facilitated or restricted by the surrounding landscape, directly comparing the native and invasive ranges of this species. By employing state-of-the-art technology, previously unused in Israel, fish movements will be recorded in real-time through acoustic tags. Data of such high resolution will enable to quantify fundamental parameters such as home range kernels, habitat utilization, and movement trajectories. By conducting a similar study at the native region (Red Sea; Eilat) and the invaded region (Mediterranean; Sdot-Yam) I aim to gain insight into the behavioral landscape ecology of S. rivulatus, and the behavioral shifts that may have occurred as a result of invading a novel ecosystem. Finally, movement patterns of S. rivulatus can be used to understand the degree of landscape connectivity in the Mediterranean, thereby predicting further expansion.

description: This is the OBIS extraction of the Ocean Tracking Network and Kintama Research Services (KRS) Kintama Research Services: Seymour River steelhead smolts., consisting of the release tagging metadata, i.e. the location and date when the tagged animal was released, and summarized detection events of tagged individuals.
 If readers are interested in the source dataset they may also inquire with the project PIs as listed here or on the OTN web site (https://members.oceantrack.org/project?ccode=NEP.KRS).
description: Abstract:Fifty Seymour River steelhead smolts were double-tagged with VEMCO V9 and V4 acoustic transmitters, and then released in Malaspina Strait (east side of Texada Island in the Strait of Georgia) to migrate over acoustic arrays in the Salish Sea. The V9 transmitters allowed us to estimate early-marine survival through the northern Strait of Georgia and Discovery Islands, and provided a baseline estimate against which to evaluate the detection performance of the V4 transmitter (VEMCO’s newest, smallest transmitter). Cumulative survival over the ~170 km from release to Johnstone Strait was 46% (SE=7.0%). Detection efficiency of the V4 was 74% (SE=10%) at the Discovery Island subarray compared to 100% for the V9 tags. Since the subarray was fully functional and the tags were operating within their warranted lifespan, we consider this to be a useful first estimate of what can be achieved with the V4 tags.An animation of the movements of the Seymour River steelhead smolts released in 2015 is available on our website (http://kintama.com/visualizations/).

title: Meiofauna en playas de la ciudad de Santa Marta

description: El incremento en el número de estudios en las zonas costeras ha evidenciado la gran diversidad de organismos que allí habitan. Sin embargo, es poco el conocimiento que se tiene de la biodiversidad meiobentónica presente en los sedimentos marinos, debido a que el proceso para lograr su caracterización es complejo. La separación de los organismos de la meiofauna requiere una gran inversión de tiempo debido al tamaño de los individuos (20 y 500 µm) y la preparación de los especímenes para su determinación taxonómica demanda una variedad de técnicas específicas para cada grupo taxonómico.
description: Por otro lado, la crisis de la taxonomía morfológica ha generado una disminución de taxónomos especialista. El uso del ADN ambiental junto con las técnicas de secuenciación de próxima generación son una alternativa que complementan la información generada por estudios morfo-taxonómicos y a su vez ofrece una solución rápida y precisa para la estimación de la biodiversidad de la meiofauna de los ecosistemas marinos.
description: En Colombia, es escasa la información sobre la diversidad de la meiofauna marina, y los pocos datos obtenidos en las costas del Caribe de Colombia están relacionados con inventarios de grupos como anélidos, artrópodos y nematodos, y unos pocos estudios ecológicos. Esta propuesta de investigación tiene como finalidad contribuir al conocimiento de la diversidad del departamento del Magdalena y Colombia por medio de la caracterización de la meiofauna intermareal en playas de la región de Santa Marta, utilizando métodos de secuenciación como el barcoding y el metabarcoding. Esto, permitirá complementar la información existente y proporcionará información para los diseños de los planes de manejo y conservación en las playas del departamento del Magdalena.

title: Subtidal epibenthos and demersal fish 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 (6 m depth)? The foreshore suppletion (400.000m³) was by means of an experimental set-up in the shallow coastal zone (-1 to -2m TAW) of Mariakerke. Beside it, a beach nourishment was conducted at Mariakerke (681243m³) and Middelkerke (968754m³). For the Mariakerke area, we collect biological and sedimentological samples in the impact area and in a control area (Bredene), before as after the suppletion, whereas for Middelkerke only the data after suppletion was part of the study. We monitor the marine ecosystem with a focus on the fauna within the sediment (macrofauna) and on the sediment (hyperbenthos, epi- and demersal fish fauna) in the intertidal zone and subtidal zone.
description: This dataset contains the epibenthos and demersal fish data collected in the subtidal area. The epibenthic and demersal fish fauna are the biota living on the sea bottom and which are catched with a bottom trawl in this study. 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 contains six tracks for each sampling moment. In each stratum two tracks were taken and the sampling start at the moment of high tide, starting at stratum a. The samples were taken with a 3m beam trawl (22mm mesh size) and a light chain at the bottom of the net. The beam was dragged over the bottom for 15 minutes (1000-1500m). This was done with a constant speed and in line with the currents. The exact distance of the track was determined by calculating the distance between the start- and stop coordinate. The content of the net was worked out immediately by determining and counting the species. The entire catch was handled for determining and counting the fish species, whereas the epifauna was mostly handled by sub-sampling (minimum volume of 2 L). The length of the fish species were measured and the biomass of the epibenthos was based on wet weight measurements. The density and biomass values were standardized to 1000m².

title: The distribution and abundance of young fish in the Banc d'Arguin, Mauritania: Fishes Checklist

description: The importance of the Banc d'Arguin (Mauritania) for juvenile fish has been investigated in September 1988. Fish have been sampled with a 2 m beam trawl at 50 locations in the coastal zone between Cap Sainte Anne and Cap Timiris . Water depth varied between 1 and 16 metres. Temperature and salinity at each station have been measured, as well as the weight of the catch and total length of the individual fish. The largest catches - in numbers as well as in weight - were obtained around the shallows of Tidra and Arel. This region has a large diversity in species, and contains large numbers of juvenile fish and cephalopods. The deeper areas seem to be much poorer in species, but average length and weight of the sampled fish are higher than around Tidra and Arel.
