Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a representative sample of contributions to the 41st European Marine Biology Symposium held in September 2005 in Cork, Ireland. The theme of the symposium was ‘Challenges to Marine Ecosystems’ and this was divided into four sub themes; Genetics, Marine Protected Areas, Global Climate Change and Marine Ecosystems, Sustainable Fisheries and Agriculture. The world’s marine ecosystems face multiple challenges, some natural, but many resulting from humankind’s activities. Global climate change, driven by influences of energy usage and industrial practices, is a reality now accepted by most of the world’s scientists, media and political establishments. Warming seas and rising sea levels are regarded as threats, while visionaries consider deep ocean carbon disposal as a technological opportunity. Exploitation of the seas continues apace, with repeated concerns over the impact of over-fishing, plus reservations about the environmental effects of marine aquaculture. We need to understand how resilient organisms and ecosystems are to these challenges, while responding by protecting biologically-meaningful areas of the oceans. The subthemes of the 41st European Marine Biology Symposium address all of these matters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic principle of all molecular genetic methods is to employ inherited, discrete and stable markers to identify genotypes that characterize individuals, populations or species. Such genetic data can provide information ori the levels and distribution of genetic variability in relation to mating patterns, life history, population size, migration and environment. Although molecular tools have long been employed to address various questions in fisheries biology and management, their contributions to the field are sometimes unclear, and often controversial. Much of the initial impetus for the deployment of molecular markers arose from the desire to assess fish stock structure based on various interpretations of the stock concept. Although such studies have met with varying success, they continue to provide an impetus for the development of increasingly sensitive population discriminators, yielding information that can be valuable for both sustainable exploitation and the conservation of fish populations. In the last major synthesis of the subject, Ryman and Utter (1987) summarized progress and applications, though this was prior to the wide-scale adoption of DNA methodology. New sources of genetic markers and protocols are now available, in particular those that exploit the widely distributed and highly variable repeat sequences of DNA, and the amplification technique of the polymerase chain reaction.

Download or read book Conservation and the Genetics of Populations written by Fred W. Allendorf and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loss of biodiversity is among the greatest problems facing the world today. Conservation and the Genetics of Populations gives a comprehensive overview of the essential background, concepts, and tools needed to understand how genetic information can be used to conserve species threatened with extinction, and to manage species of ecological or commercial importance. New molecular techniques, statistical methods, and computer programs, genetic principles, and methods are becoming increasingly useful in the conservation of biological diversity. Using a balance of data and theory, coupled with basic and applied research examples, this book examines genetic and phenotypic variation in natural populations, the principles and mechanisms of evolutionary change, the interpretation of genetic data from natural populations, and how these can be applied to conservation. The book includes examples from plants, animals, and microbes in wild and captive populations. This second edition contains new chapters on Climate Change and Exploited Populations as well as new sections on genomics, genetic monitoring, emerging diseases, metagenomics, and more. One-third of the references in this edition were published after the first edition. Each of the 22 chapters and the statistical appendix have a Guest Box written by an expert in that particular topic (including James Crow, Louis Bernatchez, Loren Rieseberg, Rick Shine, and Lisette Waits). This book is essential for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of conservation genetics, natural resource management, and conservation biology, as well as professional conservation biologists working for wildlife and habitat management agencies.

Download or read book Comparing Genetic Variation Among Atlantic Cod Gadus Morhua Off Newfoundland and Labrador Following the Stock Collapse written by Ty Gormley and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the collapse of the Northern cod stock, there has been much debate regarding the population structure of Canada’s Northern Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The objectives of the study are: 1) to determine whether the stock exhibits structure or panmixia and 2) to compare historic cod chromosomal inversion frequency (LG01) to among historic and modern cod. A whole genome scan on 119 historic cod captured between 2001 and 2003 was conducted from four locations spanning the range of the stock and two locations outside the stock. Population structure analysis using 3,907 SNPs suggests that the stock is a single panmictic population. However, additional analyses on only LG01 (15) revealed that historic cod had a higher inversion frequency than modern cod. Taken together, these results provide support for the metapopulation hypothesis and provide novel information on putative adaptive inversion allele changes over a short timeframe.

Download or read book Genetic Management of Atlantic Cod Gadus Morhua L Hatchery Populations written by Marine Claire Ghislaine Herlin and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensive aquaculture of Atlantic cod is fast developing in both Northern Europe and Canada. The last six years have seen major improvements in the larval rearing protocols and husbandry techniques for this species. Although breeding programmes are currently being developed by both governmental and private institutions in the main cod producing countries (i.e. Norway, Iceland and Canada), most hatcheries still rely on the mass spawning of their own broodstock. Mass spawning tanks are complex systems where fish are left to spawn naturally and fertilised eggs are collected with the overflowing water, with little or no control over the matings of the animals. Few published studies in other commercial marine species (i.e. turbot and sole) have attempted to analyse the output from such systems using microsatellite markers and several parentage analysis software programs. A review of these publications exposed a lack of consistency in the methods used to analyse such complex datasets. This problem was addressed by carrying out a detailed comparison of two analytical principals (i.e. assignment by strict exclusion and assignment by probabilities) and four parentage software programmes (i.e. FAP, VITASSIGN, CERVUS and PAPA), using the DNA profiles, at 5 loci, from 300 cod fry issued from the mass spawning of a large hatchery cod broodstock tank (consisting of 99 fish). This study revealed large discrepancies in the allocation outcomes between exclusion-based and probability-based assignments caused by the important rate of typing errors present in the dataset. Out of the four softwares tested, FAP (Taggart, 2007) was the most appropriate to use for handling such a dataset. It combined the most conservative method of assignment with the most informative output for the results displayed. In an attempt to study the breeding dynamics in a cod commercial hatchery, parental contributions to five groups of 300 fry (from five single days of spawning and from two commercial mass spawning cod tanks) were analysed, based on the genotyping data from eight loci. The parentage results from the exclusion-based analyses revealed that, on a single day, at least 25 to 30% of the total breeding population contributed to fertilised eggs that resulted in viable offspring at 50 and 83 days post-hatch. Family representations were highly skewed - with the marked dominance of a few males - and effective breeding populations were consistently low (approx. 5% of the total breeding population). Parental contribution to a group of 960 codlings - produced following intensive commercial practices (i.e. including successive size gradings and mixing of batches) and belonging to a single graded group - was also analysed, based on the genotyping data from eleven loci. The effective breeding population size of the juvenile batch (c. 14% of the total broodstock population) was two to three times greater than the effective size observed on a single day of mass spawning. The per-generation rate of inbreeding was however relatively high, for this batch alone, at 2.5%. Based on these results, suggestions were made to manage hatchery cod broodstock populations and implement genetic selection. Early maturation of farmed cod in sea cages (at two or three years old) is a major concern for ongrowers. Understanding the mechanism(s) behind sex determination in cod would probably help the development of a method to control sexual maturation. In an attempt to elucidate sex determination in cod, a protocol to induce gynogenesis was developed. Gynogenetic fish were successfully produced by irradiating cod milt with UV and applying a cold shock (at -6oC) to newly fertilised eggs. However, due to poor survival during larval rearing, only one gynogenetic fish survived long enough to be sexed; not enough to conclude anything on the sex determination mechanism(s) in cod.
