Coleção de Echinodermata do Museu Nacional - MNRJ-ECHINO

Keywords: Occurrence, Specimen
Temporal coverage: 1901/2015

A atividade de curadoria (manutenção e ampliação) da coleção de Zoológica de Echinodermata é desenvolvida pelo Setor de Echinodermata do Museu Nacional/UFRJ. Iniciada em 1960 pelo Professor Ignácio Aureliano Machado Brito, esta coleção conta com mais de 4000 lotes tombados de espécies de águas brasileiras (costeiras e profundas), do ambiente antártico e de outras partes do mundo. No que se refere à costa brasileira, apresenta uma ampla amostragem da região da Bacia de Campos, incluindo regiões de mar profundo, referentes a material coletado em programas de pesquisa desta região como o Programa REVIZEE e HABITATS, este coordenado pela Petrobrás.
Atualmente, a coleção de Echinodermata está alojada na Sala de Coleções do Departamento de Invertebrados do Museu Nacional/UFRJ e está toda em processo de informatização.
TPWD HARC Texas Coastal Fisheries Lower Laguna Madre Bag Seine

Keywords: Occurrence, Observation
Temporal coverage: 1977/2008

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) utilizes several sampling gears for fisheries-independent monitoring of finfish and shellfish communities. They include bag seines, trawls, gill nets and oyster dredges. TPWD uses multiple gears in a random sampling protocol, and they identify (to the lowest taxonomic unit possible) and count everything that they collect. This dataset contains bag seine data collected for the Lower Laguna Madre system in Texas from 1977 to 2008. Collected data also included spatial and temporal information describing the sample location and time, collection gear information, hydrological data (e.g. dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and salinity), weather conditions, species caught, and number of each species captured. Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) calculated the relative abundance data, calculated as the catch of a particular species in a sample divided by the total number of animals captured in that sample. Absence data was recorded for species on the TPWD species sampling lists that were not captured during sampling.
Interacciones coral-césped, estructura de tallas de corales masivos y diversidad funcional de herbívoros como indicadores de estado de los arrecifes del complejo Islas Cayos de Bolívar, Reserva de Biosfera Seaflower

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2022/2022

Se evaluó el estado del complejo arrecifal de Islas Cayos de Bolívar, Reserva de la Biosfera Seaflower. Para esto, se tomaron fotografías del sustrato, se seleccionaron entre 1 y 2 colonias de corales masivos morfológicamente contrastantes según su tipo de organización colonial (meandroide, plocoide y cerioide), que tuvieran bordes de interacción activa con céspedes algales y sobre estas interacciones, se estimó la diversidad y la redundancia funcional de herbívoros y macroalgas, se realizaron censos visuales de peces y macroinvertebrados en 3 puntos del arrecife utilizando el método de tipo estacionario y se realizaron anotaciones sobre la riqueza de especies/géneros, abundancia, tamaño y estadio de vida de los peces herbívoros pertenecientes a las familias Acanthuridae, Labridae-Scarinae, Ephippidae y Kyphosidae. Para el caso de los macroinvertebrados móviles, se buscaron ejemplares de Echinoideos y del crustáceo Maguimithrax sp. 
Se identificó la presencia de 39 especies de corales pétreos y 4 especies de hidrocorales. Las especies que se encontraron en más del 50 % de las estaciones fueron: Agaricia agaricites, Favia fragum, Madracis decactis, Montastraea cavernosa, Orbicella annularis, Orbicella faveolata, Porites astraeoides, Porites porites, Pseudodiploria strigosa, Siderastrea siderea y Millepora alcicornis. Se encontraron 100 colonias afectadas por 9 signos asociados con enfermedades coralinas. Estos signos afectaron a 11 especies de corales pétreos y una especie de coral blando. Las especies que registraron mayor número de casos fueron O. annularis (31 %), S. siderea (21 %) y P. strigosa (19 %). Los herbívoros estuvieron representados por 16 especies de peces, pertenecientes a 3 familias (Acanthuridae = 3; Labridae = 9 y Kyphosidae = 4); 4 especies de erizos (Diadema antillarum, Echinometra lucunter, Echinometra viridis, Eucidaris tribuloides y Tripneustes ventricosus) y 2 especies de crustáceos (Percnon gibbesi y Maguimithrax spinosissimus).

Abstract:
On 1 to 26 June 1993, as part of a larger study, Alaska harbor porpoise (<i>Phocoena phocoena</i>) abundance was investigated during an aerial survey from Prince William Sound to Dixon Entrance. Employing a Twin Otter as the survey platform, the second of three identical sawtooth tracklines was flown at an altitude of 152.2 m (500 ft) and at an airspeed of 185 km/h. Line-transect methodology was used, and only those observations made during optimal conditions were analyzed. Density of harbor porpoises was calculated using line transect estimates based on perpendicular distances of sightings to the cruise track of the airplane. On average, porpoise group size and density from Prince William Sound to Dixon Entrance was 1.22 (SE = 0.04) and 4.02 groups/100 km2 (SE = 7.42).

Purpose:
Although harbor porpoises, <i>Phocoena phocoena</i>, are known to occur throughout Alaska waters, few estimates of abundance exist. In 1991, the National Marine Mammal Laboratory initiated a 3 year study on Alaska harbor porpoises. The objectives of this program were to: 
1) Obtain minimum population estimates in coastal waters using line transect methodology with a coefficient of variation for density estimates of less than 30% for each survey area, and 
2) Establish a baseline for detecting changes in abundance through time, for analysis of trends. 
During the present study, it was not fiscally possible to survey all areas of the state in any one year. Accordingly, we selected sections of the state to survey in consecutive years to maximize the likelihood of including all of the animals for a particular area surveyed while minimizing the likelihood of significant movement between areas among survey years.

Funding for seven nesting ridleys tracked by the STFERL in 2007 and 2008 was provided by the Texas General Land Office Coastal Management Program, as well as by donations made through seaturtle.org and Help Endangered Animals - Ridley Turtles (HEART).Educational beach signage, posters, bookmarks, and stickers requesting public reporting of sea turtle tracks and sightings in Texas were printed by HEART/Sea Turtle Restoration Project (Gulf Office).


Abstract:
The Texas A&amp;M University at Galveston (TAMUG) Sea Turtle and Fisheries Ecology Research Lab (STFERL) initiated a satellite tracking study in 2005 to document inter- and post-nesting movements of sea turtles intercepted nesting on upper Texas coast beaches, as well as nester fidelity to beach habitats, migratory routes, and Gulf of Mexico foraging grounds. The STFERL's ongoing tracking program seeks to fill voids in our knowledge of the in-water and nesting dynamics of Kemp's ridleys and generate data essential to revising the Kemp's Ridley Recovery Plan.
