JOGMECCRFC12016 Env Template 2016 ROV

Keywords: Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2016/2016

Sampling data captured in Oceanic Exploration Research JOGMEC has implemented the following works as the crust exploration activities during the year 2016: (1) Exploration work A sampling survey, acoustic survey, and seafloor observation were conducted according to the exploration plan. The exploration target was the JA02 Seamount and BMS drilling, ROV survey, MBES survey were performed with the marine resource research vessel Hakurei owned by JOGMEC during a period of 29 days from April 11 to May 9. In the BMS drilling, 25 holes were drilled at 13 sites to collect 22 core samples. In the ROV survey, 278 kg of samples were collected for benefication and metallurgy tests. In the MBES survey, benthic landform data including the foot of the JA02 seamount were collected. In addition to the surveys with Hakurei, automatic measurement of the crust thickness was conducted at the JA02 Seamount with a chartered vessel owned by a private company during a period of 21 days from February 3 to 23. Although the actual survey could be made only for two days due to bad weather, we made 3D mapping of the acoustic measurement result of the crust thickness on the benthic plane. The measured crust thickness was found consistent with the BMS data collected from the surrounding area.

Global distribution of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa

Keywords: Occurrence, Observation
Temporal coverage: 1975/2016

Historically, species in the genus Gambierdiscus Adachi &amp; Fukuyo were viewed as pantropical organisms distributed between 35°N and 34°S and ubiquitous throughout the Caribbean, the Hawaiian Islands, French Polynesia, Australia and the Indian Ocean. Between 2016 and 2017 four new species were added to the genus Gambierdiscus from the South Pacific Ocean. In addition, four new species have been described in areas where Gambierdiscus was previously unknown, including two from the Canary Islands, one from Japan and another from Korea. In total, there are now sixteen described Gambierdiscus species and three species of Fukuyoa, a closely related genus, previously included in the genus Gambierdiscus. Among these nineteen species, and several, as yet, unsubscribed species (ribotypes), toxicity varies significantly. To better understand the distribution of these species, occurrence data from recently published literature (ca. 2009 – 2018) and two culture collections, where species identification was confirmed molecularly, were collated and archived in the biogeography of harmful algal species (HABMAP) subsection of the IOC-UNESCO Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). This manuscript represents a demonstration project illustrating how the spatially distributed HABMAP data can be employed to visualize the global distribution of Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa species. These data will also inform the ISSHA-IOC contribution to the first Global HAB Status Report describing the global distribution of all toxin-producing microalgae in OBIS.

Sydney Tar Ponds Impacts and Clean-up: Sediment and biota surveys of Sydney Harbour, December 1995

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1995/1995

In December 1995 a field sampling program collected samples of sediment, lobster and mussels from Sydney Harbour to assess the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and metals in sediment and the levels of PAHs in lobster and mussels and PCBs in lobster.  The study was initiated to collect baseline data on the conditions of the harbour prior to commencement of a proposed remediation of the Sydney Tar Ponds and to assess the changes in the levels of contaminants from previous surveys, conducted in 1981 and 1986.

Species distribution information associated with the contaminant study of the harbour and Muggah creek (JWEL-IT 1996)) were digitized, standardized and republished by Cape Breton University (CBU) as part of the Atlantic Coastal Zone Information Steering Committee (ACZISC) Atlantic Ecosystem Initiative (AEI) funded project "Atlantic Canada's Biological Data for Ecosystem Planning and Decision Making" and OBIS Canada.

This resource contains mussel (Mytilus edulis, Modiolus modiolus) and lobster (Homarus americanus) presence only information included in the project report. Specimens were collected for laboratory analysis and no attempt was made to determine abundance. For information on the contaminant measurements please refer to the source report (JWEL-IT 1996).

Dataset credits:

Abstract:
The Kemp's ridley sea turtle <i>Lepidochelys kempii</i> is recovering from declines that reduced nesting from a single-day estimate of 10000 to 40000 females in 1947 to &lt;300 during the entire 1985 nesting season. Although beach monitoring is crucial to estimating nesting population size and activity, in-water data are essential for understanding population dynamics, evaluating management strategies, and ensuring the species’ continued recovery. Fifteen immature and 7 adult female ridleys were fitted with platform terminal transmitters and released off the upper Texas coast during 2004 through 2007. Immature individuals were tracked primarily during warmer months and exhibited preferences for tidal passes, bays, coastal lakes, and nearshore waters, although movement patterns varied among years. Females tracked during their inter-­nesting intervals remained in the vicinity of the upper Texas coast and, upon entering the post-nesting stage, moved eastward along the 20 m isobath to foraging areas offshore of central Louisiana. Satellite telemetry indicated that inshore and continental shelf waters of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico serve as developmental, migratory, inter-nesting, and post-nesting habitat for the Kemp’s ridley. Projected population growth will likely lead to increased use of the northwestern Gulf by the species and more frequent encounters with human activities. The extent of such anthropogenic interactions and need for mitigation measures should be examined and considered by natural resource managers to facilitate continued recovery of this and other sea turtle species in the Gulf of Mexico. Likewise, research efforts should be continued to better understand seasonal in-water distributions, abundances, population dynamics, and mortality risks to all life history stages.

Purpose:
The following research objectives were identified:

(1) to characterize movements of benthic-stage im mature and adult female Kemp’s ridleys in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico; and

(2) to identify Kemp's ridley migration patterns and foraging grounds in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico.
