Birds are an important component in an ecosystem. Birds can live in various types of habitats such as forests, grasslands and waters. For example, shorebirds are a type of bird whose life depends on coastal waters. Some shorebirds are migrant birds, which use the coastal area as a stopover to reach their destination. The presence of shorebirds can be an indicator of the productivity of coastal waters. This research was conducted to inventory the species of birds in the coastal waters of the urban village of Ambon City. The results obtained as many as 10 species consisting of 7 families. The family with the highest number of individuals is Phalacrocoracidae (35%) while the proportion of species is fairly even (10-20%). The results of the analysis concluded a fairly good diversity and evenness index (H '= 1.99; E = 0.87) where there was no dominance of a particular species (D = 0.17).

ABSTRACT Viruses infecting the harmful bloom-causing alga Phaeocystis globosa (Prymnesiophyceae) were readily isolated from Dutch coastal waters (southern North Sea) in 2000 and 2001. Our data show a large increase in the abundance of putative P. globosa viruses during blooms of P. globosa, suggesting that viruses are an important source of mortality for this alga. In order to examine genetic relatedness among viruses infecting P. globosa and other phytoplankton, DNA polymerase gene (pol) fragments were amplified and the inferred amino acid sequences were phylogenetically analyzed. The results demonstrated that viruses infecting P. globosa formed a closely related monophyletic group within the family Phycodnaviridae, with at least 96.9% similarity to each other. The sequences grouped most closely with others from viruses that infect the prymnesiophyte algae Chrysochromulina brevifilum and Chrysochromulina strobilus. Whether the P. globosa viruses belong to the genus Prymnesiovirus or form a separate group needs further study. Our data suggest that, like their phytoplankton hosts, the Chrysochromulina and Phaeocystis viruses share a common ancestor and that these prymnesioviruses and their algal host have coevolved.

Finfish Aquaculture

Parasitic copepods of the family Caligidae, the so-called sea lice, may be deleterious to marine or brackish finfish aquaculture. To date, biological and ecological studies of sea lice have been mostly restricted to species from cold or temperate regions. In Mexico there are some records of sea lice species on marine fishes; however, the research regarding their biology and ecology has been scarce. It is possible that a high biodiversity of sea lice is distributed in coastal waters of Mexico; therefore, their significance as pathogenic parasites should increase. The purpose of this review is to outline the current knowledge of the life cycle, host location, ecology, effect on fish health, and control strategies of sea lice in order to establish supportive basis for natural resource management and control of parasites and diseases of marine fish cultured in Mexico.

Role And Function

Banyuwangi is an area rich in various cultures and customs, this is because Banyuwangi district is inhabited by various ethnic groups. The majority of the sub-districts of Banyuwangi are osing tribe who live in the village of fern and urban village of rejo. Joglo building as one of the traditional Javanese buildings in it contained philosophy that suits the life of the people. The arrangement of the room in Joglo is generally divided into three parts, namely the meeting room called pendopo, the living room or the space used to hold the show called pringgitan, and the back room called dalem or omah jero as the family room. For the people of Banyuwangi especially those who still preserve the joglo house just like the osing tribe have begun to experience the shifting of its role and function where in this case joglo house serve as additional need for home decoration, private residence of the citizen, until used as permanent building of cafe and restaurant. From the description above, the researcher felt that the community did not understand the function of the role and shape of the architecture of the Javanese house which has become the culture of the inheritance slowly changed by causing a shift to the cultural values contained within it. The shift in value will sooner or later bring changes to traditional architectural forms, structures and functions.

Mercury Monitoring

In Skiathos Island the water is not potable due to mercury contamination and salinization. The mercury’s origin is natural due to the existence of cinnabar in the Skiathos aquifer as a mineral in the Earth’s crust. The possibility of mercury contaminants ending up in the coastal area was investigated through a field experiment. Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were employed as mercury monitoring biomarkers at the outflow of the wastewater treatment of the island. Using the RNA:DNA ratio, it was revealed that the organisms were stressed after three months of exposure to Skiathos’ coastal waters. The mercury concentration was directly measured at the bulk mussels’ tissue showing differences between the station located at the outflow of the WWT and the reference station. Although the results may imply mercury contamination in the coastal area of the island, the precise origin of the mercury in mussels is difficult to define.

This paper focuses on Diplolaimella and Diplolaimelloides two very cosmopolitan genera inhabiting lotic freshwater to salty water inland, groundwater and coastal waters systems, providing a review of their taxonomy with new keys, and their distribution on the east coast of Patagonia and inland Patagonia. Two new species belonging to the genus Diplolaimelloides of the family Monhysteridae are described from Patagonian salty lagoons and coastal areas, and the Chubut and Santa Cruz provinces of Argentina: Diplolaimelloides tehuelchus sp. nov. has four bursal and three postcloacal papillae, short gubernaculum, and spicules longer than 50 μm; it has been found in Patagonian salty lagoons and in high coastal salt marsh areas. Diplolaimelloides warwicki sp. nov. is characterized by the angular shape of the spicules and the long gubernaculum. Diplolaimella ocellata is recorded for the first time in Patagonian salty lagoons and new localities in coastal waters are recorded for Diplolaimella gerlachi Pastor de Ward, 1984.

Positive Results

Numerical analysis was used to characterize 111 Vibrionaceae strains. These included 31 reference cultures belonging to the genera Aeromonas, Listonella, and Vibrio and 80 strains isolated from the seasonally cold coastal waters of Newfoundland. The sources of the regional strains were the brown alga Alaria esculenta and the giant scallop Placopecten magellanicus. Most of the regional strains grew at temperatures associated with psychrotrophs, while a small proportion may have been psychrophilic. All of the regional strains grew at 4 °C. A routine incubation temperature of 20 °C was chosen and in tests for utilization of organic components as sole sources of carbon and energy the strains were incubated for 3 weeks rather than the more common 6-day period. The treatment of weak positive results as weak positive, positive, or negative was investigated and it was decided that the general conclusions reached in the study would not be significantly altered by the interpretation of weak positive results. Using numerical analysis it was shown that most of the strains clustered according to source. Most reference cultures were more closely related to each other than they were to the regional strains. Some strains were phenotypically similar to Vibrio splendidus biovar I, which is arginine dihydrolase positive. Although there were differences, some strains were similar to the fish pathogen Vibrio ordalii, which is negative for arginine dihydrolase. Both species are reported to grow at 4 °C. It was shown that most of the regional Vibrionaceae strains studied were different from previously described species belonging to the family Vibrionaceae.Key words: numerical taxonomy, Vibrionaceae, Vibrio, marine bacteria, psychrotroph.

In order to investigate the characteristic species and the relative importance of selected environmental conditions of rocky bottom communities in coastal waters and to estimate their richness, 27 sites in the Brest area were surveyed by diving. The abundances of underwater species, from a check-list of 115, were plotted as number of individuals or colonies in m2 or in percentage cover of the rock, against the environmental conditions (depth, bedrock slope, substrate type and sediment nature of the nearest soft bottom). Raw data were converted to biovolume expressed as mm3 m–2 and expressed as log 10 (x + 1).Various correspondence analyses were applied to these data: the first included bedrock slope (lit/dark surfaces) and takes into account the four biological formations according to the depth. It shows zonation with depth and decreasing light as factor 1, hydrodynamic conditions (waves or current) as factor 2, mixing of estuarine and oceanic waters as factor 3 and turbidity as factor 4. Four species assemblages emerge from these four axes, for which the main species contributing to the four axes may be considered as characteristic species. These correspond well to four broad communities described in British waters: very exposed to wave-action, semi-exposed to wave-action, exposed to strong tidal current, very sheltered sites. The second analysis, in which lit and dark surfaces are distinguished, but some very close sites are fused together, shows in detail the photophilous or sciaphilous nature of the species. Values of hydrodynamic conditions and percentage of surface light plotted on the 'stations-points' of the graphs allow drawing of a factorial network which may be used as hydrodynamic and illumination scales.

The study of seaweed biodiversity was conducted in Ory, Pelaw, Kailolo, and Waimital coatal waters of Haruku island in 2011.  The purposes or this study were to determine the density and biodiversity of makroalgae in the coastal waters of the Haruku island. Data collection were conducted in June-September 2011 with square transect line method. The results showed that in the coastal area of Kailolo exhibited the highest value in density and biodiversity of macroalgae in the study regions with 47 species from 31 genera consisting  of 21 species of red algae, 14 species of green algae and 13 species of brown algae. Gracilaria, Acanthophora, Sargassum, Turbinaria, Caulerpa, and Halimeda were the most dominance in the region. The highest biomass of macroalga found in the Kailolo coastal waters was due to its relatively good habitat contidion consisting of dead coral rubble, sand, coral live with seagrass vegetation dominated by Thalasia hemprizii and Halodule uninervis. Meanwhile, habitat condition at the other locations had suffered a severe damage and dominated by dead coral. Environmental conditions in the study region  were within the limits of decent support for the growth of macro algae. Keywords: Macroalgae, diversity, biodiversity, substrat, Haruku island

Understanding the traits related to species colonization and invasion, is a key question for both pest management and evolution. One of the key components is flight, which has been measured for a number of insect species through radar and tethered flight mill systems, but a general understanding of insect flight at a community level is lacking. In this study, we used flight mill experiments to quantify flight abilities of moth species, and simulation experiments to study which moths in mainland China have the potential for cross-island dispersal. We found that moths from superfamily Geometroidea (family Geometridae) have the weakest flight ability among the seven Lepidoptera superfamilies, which is characterized by the shortest longest single flight (LSF), the shortest time corresponding to the longest single flight (TLSF) (timecorrespondingtothelongestsingleflight), the lowest total distance flown (TDF), and the lowest average speed during the flight (VTDF). Surprisingly, the family Pyralidae (superfamily Pyraloidea) has the highest flight endurance of all 186 species of 12 families in this study, which is unexpected, given its small size and morphological traits yet it shows the longest LSF and TLSF. The comparison between species common to mainland and islands shows that flight distance (LSF) may be more important for species spread than flight speed. The results of mainland-island simulations show that when P(LSF>CD) (the proportion of individuals whose LSF is greater than the closest distance (CD) between mainland and island to the total number of individuals in the population) is less than 0.004, it is difficult for moth species to disperse to across islands without relying on external factors such as airflow. Over extended periods, with the immigration of species with strong flight abilities, islands are more likely to recruit species with stronger flight abilities.
