Book Environmental Assessment on the Effects of NMFS Permitted Scientific Research and Enhancement Activities on Endangered White Abalone  Haliotis Sorenseni

Download or read book Environmental Assessment on the Effects of NMFS Permitted Scientific Research and Enhancement Activities on Endangered White Abalone Haliotis Sorenseni written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Office of Protected Resources, proposes to issue a scientific research and enhancement permit to the University of California, Davis, Bodega Marine Laboratory, Bodega Bay, California for the captive maintenance, breeding and outplanting (referred to as field planting) of white abalone (Haliotis sorenseni), pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The purpose of this research is to overcome key barriers to captive propagation of the endangered white abalone, to identify limitations to reproduction in wild animals, to further understand disease processes and how to mitigate them, and the most successful means of restoration. In addition, white abalone will be maintained at participating aquariums for education and reserve holding. No white abalone will be taken from the wild; animals will come from existing captive broodstock and their progeny. The permit would be valid for five years from the date of issuance. Scientific research permits are generally categorically excluded from the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) requirements to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) or an environmental impact statement (EIS) (NAO 216-6). However, the issuance of permits for scientific research or to enhance the propagation or survival of a listed species pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA when hatchery activities are involved requires development of an EA (NAO 216-6, section 6.03(e)(2)(c)). Therefore, for this action NMFS prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to facilitate a more thorough assessment of potential impacts on endangered white abalone. This EA evaluates the potential impacts to the human environment from issuance of the proposed permit"--Abstract.

Book Edible Sea Urchins  Biology and Ecology

Download or read book Edible Sea Urchins Biology and Ecology written by John M. Lawrence and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-05-21 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea urchins are a major component of marine environments found throughout the world's oceans. A major model for research in developmental biology, they are also of major economic importance in many regions and interest in their management and aquaculture has increased greatly in recent years. This book provides a synthesis of biological and ecological characteristics of sea urchins that are of basic scientific interest and also essential for effective fisheries management and aquaculture. General chapters consider characteristics of sea urchins as a whole. In addition, specific chapters are devoted to the ecology of 17 species that are of major commercial interest and ecological importance. Features include: • A synthesis of what is known about the basic biological characteristics of the sea urchin, useful for the direction of future research. • Case histories of 17 species that illustrate their ecological role in a variety of environments. • With the catastrophic decline in fisheries resulting primarily from over-fishing, it is essential that the populations be managed effectively and that aquaculture be developed. This book provides knowledge of the biology and ecology of the commercially important sea urchins that will contribute to these goals. • The only book available in present literature devoted to sea urchins. With this new title experts provide a broad synthetic treatment and in depth analysis of the biology and ecology of sea urchins from around the world, designed to provide an understanding of the group and the basis for fisheries management and aquaculture.

Book Selective Breeding in Aquaculture  an Introduction

Download or read book Selective Breeding in Aquaculture an Introduction written by Trygve Gjedrem and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation of quantitative genetics theory was developed during the last century and facilitated many successful breeding programs for cultivated plants and t- restrial livestock. The results have been almost universally impressive, and today nearly all agricultural production utilises genetically improved seed and animals. The aquaculture industry can learn a great deal from these experiences, because the basic theory behind selective breeding is the same for all species. The ?rst published selection experiments in aquaculture started in 1920 s to improve disease resistance in ?sh, but it was not before the 1970 s that the ?rst family based breeding program was initiated for Atlantic salmon in Norway by AKVAFORSK. Unfortunately, the subsequent implementation of selective breeding on a wider scale in aquaculture has been slow, and despite the dramatic gains that have been demonstrated in a number of species, less than 10% of world aquaculture production is currently based on improved stocks. For the long-term sustainability of aquaculture production, there is an urgent need to develop and implement e- cient breeding programs for all species under commercial production. The ability for aquaculture to successfully meet the demands of an ever increasing human p- ulation, will rely on genetically improved stocks that utilise feed, water and land resources in an ef?cient way. Technological advances like genome sequences of aquaculture species, and advanced molecular methods means that there are new and exciting prospects for building on these well-established methods into the future.

Book The State of the World   s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

Download or read book The State of the World s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conservation, sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources (AqGR) is critical to the future supply of fish. The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is the first ever global assessment of these resources, with the scope of this first Report being limited to cultured AqGR and their wild relatives, within national jurisdiction. The Report draws on 92 reports from FAO member countries and five specially commissioned thematic background studies. The reporting countries are responsible for 96 percent of global aquaculture production. The Report sets the context with a review of the state of world’s aquaculture and fisheries and includes overviews of the uses and exchanges of AqGR, the drivers and trends impacting AqGR and the extent of ex situ and in situ conservation efforts. The Report also investigates the roles of stakeholders in AqGR and the levels of activity in research, education, training and extension, and reviews national policies and the levels of regional and international cooperation on AqGR. Finally, needs and challenges are assessed in the context of the findings from the data collected from the countries. The Report represents a snapshot of the present status of AqGR and forms a valuable technical reference document, particularly where it presents standardized key terminology and concepts.

Book Effects of Ocean Acidification on the Growth and Survival in Early stage Red Abalone  Haliotis Rufescens

Download or read book Effects of Ocean Acidification on the Growth and Survival in Early stage Red Abalone Haliotis Rufescens written by Sara Elizabeth Boles and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shellfish aquaculture industry has been identified as a sustainable source of protein to feed a growing global population. Absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) by the world's oceans is leading to a decline in ocean pH, resulting in process termed ocean acidification (OA), and is occurring at an unprecedented rate. The result of OA has reduced global surface oceans by 0.1 pH units and is projected to decrease by 0.3 to 0.4 pH units by the year 2100. The negative consequences of OA have been shown to reduce calcification, growth, and survival during sensitive larval and post-settlement life-history stages in both ecologically and economically important species of shellfish. The consequences of OA are threatening the viability of these economically and ecologically important resources; however, few adaptive aquaculture strategies exist to mitigate the negative effects of OA. Red abalone (H. rufescens) are a culturally, ecologically, and economically important species of shellfish, yet few studies have investigated the effects of OA across sensitive life-history stages and adaptive culture strategies for this species are absent. To address these gaps in knowledge during sensitive larval and post-settlement stages with the following objectives we examined: (1) the mitigative effect of post-settlement diet in wild-caught (VD: Van Damme, CA) and captive (SB: Santa Barbara, CA) populations of red abalone exposed to OA conditions; and (2) the capacity of seawater chemistry manipulations and the tailoring post-settlement and grow-out temperatures during sensitive stages to buffer the negative carry-over effects of OA into later life-history stages. To test the OA-buffering effect of natural (CCA: crustose coralline algae) and commercially grown (NV: Navicula sp. Diatoms) post-settlement diets on the survival of wild-caught and captive populations of red abalone, embryos were cultured from 6 hours post-fertilization to 97 days post-fertilization (dpf) under either control-pH or OA treatment conditions. We found that CCA enhanced post-settlement survival in both populations under both control-pH and OA treatment conditions compared to abalone settled on NV diatoms; however, this effect remained significant only in the SB population at later post-settlement stages. Variation in response to pH treatment conditions was observed between the two populations with SB abalone displaying a considerable decline in post-settlement survival when cultured under OA conditions, whereas, survival of VD-sourced abalone was not affected by OA. We also observed a significant effect of settlement diet on the relationship between total larval lipids stores and post-settlement survival, a relationship that was more pronounced in VD compared to SB abalone. To assess the mitigative capacity of pH manipulations to buffer the negative consequence of OA, we cultured red abalone from embryos (6 hours post-fertilization) to 7 dpf under control-pH or OA conditions and were settled under a factorial combination of these treatments. Post-settlement and grow-out temperatures were tailored to enhance the growth of abalone cultured under the various pH treatment conditions. Slight warming during post-settlement and grow-out stages enhanced the growth of red abalone; however, this effect was dependent on pH treatment exposure history. Results from this dissertation reveal the effects of OA across larval and post-settlement stages in red abalone are complex; however, they highlight the potential for adaptive culture techniques to sustain and advance red abalone conservation and production aquaculture in the face of ocean change.

Book Expanding Mariculture Farther Offshore

Download or read book Expanding Mariculture Farther Offshore written by Alessandro Lovatelli and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2013 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is also recommended that efforts be increased to farm lower trophic levels species and optimize feeds and feeding in order to minimize ecosystems impacts and ensure long-term sustainability. Similarly, risk assessments and/or environmental impact assessment and monitoring must always be in place before establishing offshore farms, and permanent environmental monitoring must be ensured. All coastal nations should be prepared to engage actively in developing the technological, legal and financial frameworks needed to support the future development of offshore mariculture to meet global food needs. The workshop report highlights the major opportunities and challenges for a sustainable mariculture industry to grow and further expand off the coast.
