AbstractIt is generally agreed that variation in social and/or environmental complexity yields variation in selective pressures on brain anatomy, where more complex brains should yield increased intelligence. While these insights are based on many evolutionary studies, it remains unclear how ecology impacts brain plasticity and subsequently cognitive performance within a species. Here, we show that in wild cleaner fish (Labroides dimidiatus), forebrain size of high-performing individuals tested in an ephemeral reward task covaried positively with cleaner density, while cerebellum size covaried negatively with cleaner density. This unexpected relationship may be explained if we consider that performance in this task reflects the decision rules that individuals use in nature rather than learning abilities: cleaners with relatively larger forebrains used decision-rules that appeared to be locally optimal. Thus, social competence seems to be a suitable proxy of intelligence to understand individual differences under natural conditions.

Underwater behavioural observations were conducted to evaluate the relative importance of cleaning behaviour in three species of common north-eastern Atlantic wrasse (Teleostei: Labridae). At the study site, the only cleaner was Centrolabrus exoletus. A total of 12 species was cleaned, with the wrasse, Symphodus melops and Labrus bergylta being the species most frequently cleaned. Neither S. melops nor Ctenolabrus rupestris, known to be cleaners in other sites or in captivity, could be observed cleaning other fishes. Centrolabrus exoletus was found to be a facultative cleaner fish with cleaning acts representing only 7% of the observed feeding acts. In focal observations of host fishes, the incidence of cleaning acts reached a level (11 h-1 per host) similar to that reported for tropical reef fishes and probably reflects the high numbers of cleaners available. Some factors that may affect the origin of the cleaning interactions are discussed.

The geoduck Panopea globosa is a long-lived and large endemic infaunal clam sustaining a growing fishery in the Northwest coast of México that, in spite of its increasing demand in Asian markets very little is known about its biology. In order to provide genetic markers to support genetic research of wild populations, nine novel microsatellite loci (di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide repeats) were developed using shotgun sequencing with next generation technology (Illumina). The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 16 and the observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.286 to 0.650 and 0.504 to 0.906, respectively. Five loci were found to be significantly deviated from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and three pairs showed evidence of linkage disequilibrium. Most loci are highly informative for population genetics and linkage analyses according to their polymorphism information content (> 0.5) and will be useful for increasing our understanding of the wild population structure and developing a sustainable fishery management. Aislamiento y caracterización de nuevos marcadores microsatelitales en la almeja generosa (Panopea globosa) La almeja generosa Panopea globosa es una especie infáunica longeva y de gran tamaño que mantiene una pesquería creciente en la costa del Noroeste de México. A pesar de su demanda creciente en los mercados asiáticos, se conoce muy poco acerca de su biología. Con la finalidad de proveer nuevos marcadores genéticos para la caracterización de poblaciones silvestres, se desarrollaron nueve marcadores microsatelitales nuevos (con patrones repetidos de di-, tri-, y tetranucleotídicos) utilizando secuenciación genómica aleatoria con tecnología de secuenciación de siguiente generación (Illumina). El número de alelos por locus varió de 3 a 16 y los valores de heterocigosidad observada y esperada variaron de 0.286 a 0.650 y 0.504 a 0.906, respectivamente. Cinco microsatelites se desvían del equilibrio de Hardy-Weinberg y tres pares de microsatélites mostraron evidencia de desequilibrio de ligamiento. La mayoría de los loci son altamente informativos para estudios poblacionales y análisis de ligamiento de acuerdo con su contenido de información de polimorfismos (> 0.5) y serán útiles para incrementar el conocimiento de la estructura genética de las poblaciones silvestres de esta almeja y para coadyuvar en su pesquería sustentable.

The monoamines serotonin and dopamine are important neuromodulators present in the central nervous system, known to be active regulators of social behaviour in fish as in other vertebrates. Our aim was to investigate the region-specific brain monoaminergic differences arising when individual cleaners face a client (mutualistic context) compared to when they are introduced to another conspecific (conspecific context), and to understand the relevance of visual assessment compared to the impact of physical contact with any partner. We demonstrated that serotoninergic activity at the diencephalon responds mostly to the absence of physical contact with clients whereas cerebellar dopaminergic activity responds to actual cleaning engagement. We provide first insights on the brain’s monoaminergic (region-specific) response variations, involved in the expression of cleaner fishes’ mutualistic and conspecific behaviour. These results contribute to a better understanding of the monoaminergic activity in accordance to different socio-behavioural contexts.

Maritime disputes in the Northeast Asia region are nothing new. The Exclusive Economic Zone (eez) regime under the u.n. Convention on the Law of the Sea (unclos) spurred many coastal states, including these countries, to declare eezs. This has led Korea to conclude bilateral fishery agreements with Japan and China, with the goals of achieving sustainable fishery management in the East Sea (Sea of Japan) and the Yellow Sea, and peacefully cooperating with these countries in sharing fishery resources in the region. While not without shortcomings, the agreements provide important procedures for cooperation in fisheries management and sustaining fishery resources. In addition to competition over fishery resources, Korea and Japan agreed to establish a Joint Development Zone (jdz) in 1974. Although the Korea-Japan jdz, however, has not produced oil so far, it nevertheless serves as a model for maritime dispute resolution.
