Book excerpt: From 6-25 April 1998, the Tenth International Workshop on the Marine Flora and Fauna of Hong Kong and South China was convened at the Swire Institute of Marine Science of the University of Hong Kong. Thirteen scientists from six countries and twenty-two scientists and students from Hong Kong investigated aspects of the marine flora and fauna of the Cape d'Aguilar Marine Reserve and the southeastern waters of Hong Kong. This was to obtain more information about the newly-established reserve (the only one in Hong Kong) and the changes that had taken place on the seabed in the southern waters since they were dredged between 1992-1995, respectively, and, in the latter case, to see if there had been any subsequent benthic recovery. The Proceedings of the workshop contains thirty-six original research papers dealing with aspects of the taxonomy and anatomy, behaviour and physiology of marine life in Hong Kong and Southern China. Papers also explore aspects of Hong Kong's marine parks and reserves, including the pollution of Hong Kong's marine life with particular reference to the Cape d'Aguilar Marine Reserve, established only in 1996, and the fauna of its territorial southern waters. The Workshop was sponsored by the University of Hong Kong, the Croucher Foundation and the K.C. Wong Foundation so as to bring eminent overseas scientists to Hong Kong to work with their local colleagues and students. The success of the workshop concept is self-evident in the contents and scope of these proceedings. This was the eighth workshop convened in Hong Kong since 1977 and these proceedings have become the single-most important body of information on the long-term changes that have taken place in its marine environment over an extended time-frame. The volumes are also the largest regional repository of information on the marine life of the territorial waters of Hong Kong and the northern rim of the South China Sea. For those with any interest in Hong Kong's marine environment, therefore, this proceedings and its predecessors are essential reading.

Abstract: Abstract Abstract of thesis entitled "THE ECOLOGY OF INDIGENOUS AND TRANSPLANTED CORALS IN THE CAPE D' AGUILAR MARINE RESERVE, HONG KONG" submitted by Tracy Helen Clark for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in September 1997 A survey of the hermatypic and ahermatypic corals within the Cape d'Aguilar Marine Reserve, Hong Kong, identified twenty-two species of reef-building Scleractinia belonging to twenty genera and ten families and twenty-two species of ahermatypic corals belonging to fourteen genera and seven families. This list included three new records for Hong Kong, i.e., Leptoseris scabra (Scleractinia) and Echinogorgia complexa and Eleutherobia indica (Gorgonoidea). Species richness, abundance and percentage cover of scleractinians was greatest at the two most sheltered sites within the study area. Nineteen species of Scleractinia from sixteen genera and eight families were recorded from one site studied in the Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park. Representatives of the Faviidae dominated both locations at shallow depths although the gorgonian Euplexaura curvata was dominant in deeper waters within the marine reserve. The new scleractinian brings the species total for Hong Kong to fifty-one. In general, there was an increase in the abundance and diversity of corals with hard substratum availability and for, gorgonians, with increasing depth. Colony surface area and species distribution did not differ significantly, for hard corals, between 1995 and 1997. Monthly measurements of hydrographic parameters demonstrated seasonal and inter- site differences. Water movement was inversely related to percentage light transmission (PAR) and differed with site, as did salinity and dissolved oxygen (D.O.). Measurements of temperature, pH and total particulate matter (TPM) were similar at all sites. Temperature and TPM differed seasonally, being greater during summer than winter, as did salinity, D.O. and pH values though, conversely, higher in winter. Species of Diadema were the commonest coral grazers observed but at low densities at all sites and seasons. Overall, it can be concluded that survival, growth and tissue regeneration rates in transplanted corals and the reproductive effort of indigenous and transplanted colonies were dependent on environmental conditions at the study sites. With growth and tissue regeneration differing between species, the large polyped Favia speciosa and Goniastrea aspera showed the least growth and smaller polyped, Porites lobata, the most. Damage repair was retarded in transplants to exposed sites where attachment was only semi-secure. Favia speciosa and Goniastrea aspera were observed to be simultaneous hermaphrodites, with gametes reaching maturity around June/ July. Porites lobata was gonochoric, maturing in September/ October. Spawning is presumed to have occurred in these months, but no coral recruits were recorded during this study. Polyp size was related directly to egg size and inversely correlated with fecundity. The average monthly weight of recently living coral, washed up on Telecom Bay Beach in the Cape d'Aguilar Marine Reserve accounted for approximately 0.008 %, by weight of the total live coral in the bay with quantities greatest after typhoons and storms. Seventeen species of Mollusca were recorded from within the skeletons of this rubble and included a new record for Hong Kong, Anchomosa yoshimu

Download or read book The Marine Biology of the South China Sea III written by Brian Morton and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-01 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first conference on the Marine Biology of the South China Sea was convened in Hong Kong in 1990, to celebrate the opening of the Swire Institute of Marine Science. The second was convened in Guangzhou, China, in 1993. The third conference returned toHong Kong in 1996 and, in a continuing pattern of growth, was attended by 127 scientists and students from 14 countries and territories. Of the 1O4 keynote addresses, papers and posters presented at the meeting, 42 are published here, following critical peer review, under the symposium categories of Taxonomy and Biological Diversity, Biology and Ecology and Coastal Zone Management and Conservation of the Biological Resources, of the South China Sea.Each conference sets its own symposia themes but in view of the rapid, perceived, decline in the marine environment of the South China Sea and the overexploitation of its resources, the 1996 meeting focused its attention on these issues.There are many meetings related to marine science convened by the countries of the South China rim. Some are national, others are international, but most are typically convened by agencies and attendance is restricted to an invited few, usually senior scientists. Europe hosts a European Marine Biology Symposium, that is convened in a different country each year and which sets the meeting's themes. The proceedings of those meetings constitute one of the most authoritative accounts of the marine biology of European waters. The meeting itself provides a forum for scientists and students, so that international collaborative research is now a key feature of European marine science. First convened in 1996, the 32 symposia are a tribute to international co-operation in research in a marine environment that, of itself, knows no boundaries.The South China Sea countries also need such a forum, free of political dogma. This conference proceedings is the third to help promote such an event, hopefully, one day, at a greater frequency than three years. The fourth conference is to be convened in the Philippines in 1999.This volume then is an international perspective on the South China Sea by scientists who research it and are concerned for its future. It contains information that should appeal to marine biologists throughout the world and, in particular, to those in Asia.

This book was released on 2007-11-25 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine, coastal and wetland habitats are threatened, through exploitation, and also by climate change, as ocean currents change course, sea levels rise, and rainfall patterns change. This book gathers papers on the biodiversity conservation of these increasingly threatened habitats. The papers provide a snapshot of the problems they face, and offer numerous examples which render this volume valuable to educators in marine, freshwater and wetlands ecology, conservation and ecological restoration.
