Abstract
|
The growing number of countries investigating the potential for releasing cultured juveniles to augment coastal fisheries resulted in the First International Symposium on Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching (ISSESR) in Norway in 1997. The 1st and 2nd ISSESR, in Japan in 2002, were instrumental in developing methods for mass production of environmentally fit juveniles and for releasing them in responsible ways. The 3rd ISSESR, held in the U.S.A. in 2006 (www.SeaRanching.org), ushered the discipline into a new era. The major advances included: (1) definitions of the various objectives for releasing cultured juveniles (restocking, stock enhancement, and sea ranching); (2) a framework for integrating releases within their fisheries management context, including tools for quantitative assessment; (3) a systematic, transparent, and stakeholderparticipatory planning process to determine whether releases have a cost-effective role to play in managing a fishery; (4) a comprehensive case study (blue crabs in Chesapeake Bay) describing the multi-disciplinary approach needed to evaluate the potential benefits of releases; and (5) a suite of other lessons to guide stakeholders in evaluating the potential for and implementation of releases.

Abstract

Bisher wurde angenommen, dass der indo-pazifische Pomacentride Amblyglyphidodon leucogaster aus verschiedenen, bestimmten geografischen Farbvarianten bestand. Jedoch die hier angeführte Untersuchung deutet auf einen aus vier Arten bestehenden Komplex hin: A. leucogaster (Bleeker) aus dem westlichen Pazifik und östlichen Randgebiet des indischen Ozeans; A. orbicularis
(Hombron u. Jacquinot) von Samoa, Fiji und Neu Kaledonien und zwei hier neu beschriebene Arten - A. indicus vom Roten Meer und Indischen Ozean und A. melenopterus von Tonga. Die einzelnen Mitglieder des leucogaster-Komplexes unterscheiden sich hauptsächlich durch Kombinationen von Farbmustern und Anzahl der Kiemenreusen. Ein Bestimmungsschlüssel für Amblyglyphidodon-Arten liegt bei.

Abstract
|
The long-term sustainability of the marine ornamental industry is being threatened by environmental pressures that are severely degrading the health of coral reef ecosystems. There is now a compelling need to practice resource conservation through the development of 'reef friendly' aquaculture technologies as an alternative to wild collection practices and to restore degraded wild populations. The commercial culture of marine ornamental finfish is very much in its infancy, but advances can be made more rapidly using insights from years of research and development with marine foodfish species. Many of the bottlenecks and constraints to developing marine ornamental fish culture are those now being addressed with the more challenging species of foodfish being attempted. The two key bottlenecks that currently limit expansion of the marine ornamental industry are the control of captive maturation and spawning and the identification of appropriate first-feed items for marine ornamental fish larvae. This paper highlights basic principles and recent achievements in marine foodfish culture that might be applicable to rapid development of controlled reproduction and propagation techniques for marine ornamental finfish.

The years 1998 and 2005 were the two most damaging years for coral reefs in recorded history. They were also the world’s hottest years since records began in 1880. About 16% of the world’s reefs were lost to coral bleaching in the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific in 1998. Seven years on, unusually warm waters caused even worse coral bleaching, this time in the Caribbean where it was also a record year for hurricanes. Some of these hurricanes nevertheless had a silver lining: although they caused extensive damage, they also helped to save many corals by ‘taking the heat off them.’

Abstract
|
Endolithic fungi bore through the extracellular calcium carbonate skeleton of reef-building scleractinian corals, both healthy and dead, and effect net erosion of coral reefs. Potential fungal interactions with coral tissue were investigated using an in vitro approach suggested by earlier observations of skeletal repair cones at the site of fungal perforation in Porites sp. A fungal strain was isolated from the skeleton of a long-term culture of healthy, tissue-covered, Pocillopora damicornis Linnaeus colonies maintained in a recirculating system in Monaco. As coral soft tissue spontaneously dissociated in vitro, the skeleton became exposed and hyaline hyphae emerged radially from 15% of the total clipped branches. In this study, which was performed between January 2001 and March 2003, 35 skeleton–hypha explants were embedded in agar-based solid medium, yielding 60% hyphal growth. A fungal strain (F19-3-1) of the dominant (80%) morphology was isolated and propagated in agar-based solid medium. The strain was identified by 18S and 26S rDNA gene sequence analysis as a basidiomycete in the genus Cryptococcus. Co-cultures were used to provide experimental exposure of coral soft tissue to the fungus. The fungus extended the survival of coral cells by 2 days, selectively maintaining skeletogenic cell types. This effect may be interpreted as stimulation by the fungus of a short-term coral defense response.

Abstract
|
Aliwal Shoal lies south of Durban in South Africa and has been the subject of recent bathymetric, seafloor and benthic surveys. ANOVA of the biological data revealed that the biota were uniformly distributed on the reef with the exception of encrusting sponges and algae on rock. The variations in distribution of these biota were significant and, in the case of the encrusting sponges, appeared to be related to the discharge of a wood pulp effluent. Further evidence of this was suggested by stable isotope analyses of representative organisms. The encrusting sponges were recommended as good candidates for further monitoring of the effects of the wood pulp effluent on Aliwal Shoal as the effluent pipeline has been extended.

Abstract New information on the presence and relative
abundances of 41 reef-building (zooxanthellate) coral
species at 11 eastern Paci®c and 3 central Paci®c local-
ities is examined in a biogeographic analysis and review
of the eastern Paci®c coral reef region. The composition
and origin of the coral fauna and other reef-associated
taxa are assessed in the context of dispersal and vicar-
iance hypotheses. A minimum variance cluster analysis
using coral species presence±absence classi®cation data
at the 14 localities revealed three eastern Paci®c reef-
coral provinces: (1) equatorial ± mainland Ecuador to
Costa Rica, including the Gala pagos and Cocos Islands;
(2) northern ± mainland Me xico and the Revillagigedo
Islands; (3) island group ± eastern Paci®c Malpelo Island
and Clipperton Atoll, and central Paci®c Hawaiian,
Johnston and Fanning Islands. Coral species richness is
relatively high in the equatorial (17±26 species per lo-
cality) and northern (18±24 species) provinces, and low
at two small oshore island localities (7±10 species). A
high proportion (36.6%, 15 species) of eastern Paci®c
coral species occurs at only one or two localities; of
these, three disappeared following the 1982±83 ENSO
event, three occur as death assemblages at several lo-
calities, and ®ve are endangered with known populations
of ten or fewer colonies. Principal component analysis
using ordinal relative density data for the 41 species at
the 14 localities indicated three main species groupings,
i.e., those with high, mid, and narrow spatial distri-
butions. These groupings correlated with species pop-
ulation-dynamic characteristics. These results were
compared with data for riverine discharges, ocean cir-
culation patterns, shoreline habitat characteristics, and
regional sea surface temperature data to help clarify the
analyses as these measures of environmental variability
aect coral community composition. Local richness was
highest at localities with the highest environmental
variability. Recent information regarding the strong af-
®nity between eastern and central Paci®c coral faunas,
abundance of teleplanic larvae in oceanic currents, high
genetic similarity of numerous reef-associated species,
and appearances of numerous Indo-west Paci®c species
in the east Paci®c following ENSO activity, suggest the
bridging of the east Pacifc flter bridge (formerly east
Pacifc barrier).

Abstract
|
Lepidisis olapa Muzik is a species of gorgonian (Coelenterata: Octocorallia) growing in deep water off Oahu,
Hawaii. Living colonies observed during submarine dives were luminescent when mechanically stimulated. Although
common in the order Pennatulacea, luminescence is apparently unusual in the order Gorgonacea, and has
never before been observed in colonies in their natural environment.

The oceanic islands of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), also known as the Caroline Islands, are home to some of the most biologically diverse forests and coral reefs in the world. Many individuals, communities, agencies and organizations
are acting to conserve the irreplaceable natural resources of the FSM. However,
for the most part conservation activities have been small-scale and disconnected, and lacked comprehensive goals for conservation success. A shared "blueprint" FSM's biological resources—a clear picture of the places in the nation where those resources reside and prioritization of conservation needs, is required in order to set and achieve conservation objectives. This conservation plan articulates such a blueprint.

Abstract
|
This paper proposes the need for new integrated guidance
for a “value-based” approach to facilitate more
sustainable management of global coral reefs and other
coastal resources. Values in this context include not only
economic welfare values, but also a range of other
indicators of value. The paper suggests a series of
supporting principles, frameworks and methodologies
upon which the guidance should be based. Their
application is then discussed with reference to a case
study in American Samoa for which the economic value
derived by residents and visitors to the islands are
estimated to be a minimum US$ 5 million/year (or US$
161 million in total or US$ 0.7/m2) for coral reefs and
US$ 0.7 million/year (or US$ 24 million in total or US$
50/m2) for mangroves respectively. With the inclusion of
non-use values potentially held by the US general public,
the total value of these habitats could be more than
double these figures. Innovative aspects of the study
include a spatial GIS-based approach highlighting the
extent to which values vary spatially, a contingent
valuation study that assesses non-use values, and
consideration of both present and future potential values
under alternative management scenarios. The paper
concludes by highlighting recommendations as to what
further steps need to be taken in development of the new
guidance.

Abstract
|
A review, starting with Spanish colonial times, is presented of research on the living marine resources of the Philippines. The first efforts were mainly taxonomic, with a gradual transition to the description of gears and fisheries. Biological studies were conducted mainly since the country's independence. Since the 1970s, increasing signs of resource depletion
and destruction (especially in the case of coral reefs) have led to an increased awareness of the need for quantitative studies and for resources management.
