A) IN MEMORIAM

1) PASSING OF RANSOM MYERS
One of Dalhousie's brightest lights, Dr. Ransom Myers, passed away in Halifax on 27 March 2007, at the age of 54. He had been suffering from glioblastoma multiforme, a brain cancer, since last fall, the university said. A world-renowned fisheries biologist whose research showed that the number of large fish, including tuna, swordfish, cod and flounder, in the world's oceans had dropped by 90 percent in the past 50 years due to overfishing. He warned governments, the fishing industry and consumers that unless commercial fishing is sharply curtailed and management of fisheries is improved, many large marine species will become extinct. That, he said, could lead to economic disruptions, food shortages in seafood-dependent developing nations and lasting damage to marine ecosystems.

His work documenting the decline in large fish species drew criticism from fishery managers and others who took issue with what they called its overly gloomy outlook. But the work was widely praised by environmentalists and marine ecologists, and it put the fishery question onto the front pages of newspapers. Although that work was spectacular, said Daniel Pauly, who heads the Fisheries Center at the University of British Columbia, Dr. Myers's colleagues will remember him for more basic work. Dr. Pauly cited, in particular, Dr. Myers's efforts to solve "the major problem in fisheries science," predicting in one season how many fish larvae will survive to young adulthood in the next. Dr. Myers was a lead author of an article on the overfishing of sharks that appeared in the 30 March 2007 issue of the journal Science (see FEATURE story). He received his B.Sc. in Physics from Rice University, and his M.Sc. in Mathematics and Ph.D. in Biology from Dalhousie University.

Dr. Myers was a Pew Fellows in Marine Conservation Program Advisor.
A memorial service for Dr. Myers was held on Sunday, April 1 in Halifax.

B) FEATURE

2) DEPLETION OF SHARKS HURTS ECOSYSTEM, STUDY SAYS
For years, conservationists have warned about over fishing of large sharks in the northwestern Atlantic, as the demand for meat and fins, coupled with slow growth and reproduction rates of many species, has caused sharp declines in populations of hammerheads, duskies and other sharks.
Researchers are now reporting repercussions beyond the declining shark populations. Depletion of large sharks, they write in Friday's issue of the journal Science, has led to the destruction of the bay scallop fishery along parts of the Eastern seaboard.

The study, by Ransom A. Myers of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and colleagues, is among the few to document the cascading effects that the loss of a top predator can have on a marine ecosystem. In the absence of large sharks, the researchers say, the smaller sharks, skates and rays that they feed upon have thrived. In turn, the study shows that as one of these middle links in the food chain, the cownose ray, has become more abundant, it has wiped out scallop beds in North Carolina. "With fewer sharks around, the species they prey upon - like cownose rays - have increased in numbers, and in turn, hordes of cownose rays dining on bay scallops have wiped the scallops out," said co-author Julia Baum of Dalhousie.

"People are always asking me why we should care about sharks," said Ellen Pikitch, a marine biologist at the University of Miami and executive director of the Pew Institute for Ocean Science, a major funder of the study. "This is a great example of why sharks matter to the broader ecosystem." Dr. Pikitch described the paper as a "classic," and said it would inspire others to examine data in search of similar effects, called trophic cascades, which she said "are going to be seen more and more in the oceans." Pete Peterson, a marine biologist at the University of North Carolina and an author of the paper, said the work had its origins in a discussion he and Dr. Myers had at a conference several years ago. "He was working on shark depletions and I was working on the cownose ray and its effect on bay scallops," Dr. Peterson said. "The light went off - we were working on the same problem."

But Steve Murawski, director of scientific programs and chief science advisor at the National Marine Fisheries Service, said the study had not conclusively shown a connection between declines in certain species and increases in others. "It certainly shows correlation," he said. "What we don't have is a smoking gun in terms of a predation link." There are alternative hypotheses for some of the population effects described, he said, including habitat loss and pollution. The study combined long-term data on shark, skate and ray populations, along with experiments that showed the impact cownose rays can have on scallops. Dr. Myers, a leader in the study of the impact of over fishing in the oceans, died Tuesday of a brain tumor.

C) NEWS AND VIEWS

3) STUDY CHALLENGES THEORIES ON SPECIES
The previous belief that more species develop in warm, tropical climates may be false. True, more different types of animals exist there than in places farther from the equator. But new research suggests that is because tropical species do not die out as readily. Cooler regions have a higher turnover rate, with more species developing but also more becoming extinct.
The findings by Jason Weir and Dolph Schluter at the University of British Columbia are published in the 16 March 2007 issue of the journal Science.
They compared sister species from the Americas. Sister species are the most closely related species that share a common ancestor. By analyzing the DNA of 618 mammal and bird species that lived in the past several million years, they were able to determine that new species develop more readily farther away from the tropics. "It would take one species in the tropics 3 to 4 million years to evolve into two distinct species, whereas at 60 degrees latitude (two-thirds of the way toward either pole), it could take as little as 1 million years," Weir said.

4) DNA TESTING REVEALS CONTINUED TRADE IN BASKING SHARK FINS
Despite regulations by some countries to protect the behemoth basking shark, the second largest fish in the world which can grow up to 40 feet in length, from further population declines, a new study by an international team of scientists reports that this highly threatened, filter-feeding shark is still being killed for its high-priced fins. In a study appearing in the 20 March 2007 early-on-line version of the scientific journal Animal Conservation, scientists from the Guy Harvey Research Institute at Nova Southeastern University, Florida, The Pew Institute for Ocean Science at the University of Miami, Florida, Imperial College, England and Durham University, England, used a novel, streamlined DNA analysis method to document the presence of fins from basking sharks in the Hong Kong and Japanese fin markets, and even in the USA where this species has been completely protected by fishery regulations since 1997.

5) FARMED ESCAPED SALMON TRACED WITH DNA
A fish farm in western Norway is currently under police investigation after being identified by the Institute of Marine Research (IMR) as the source of a salmon escape. This is the first example of DNA methods being used to trace farmed escaped salmon to the source of origin. In September 2005, IMR was asked to assist the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries in finding the source of an unusual amount of escaped salmon which were recaptured in a fjord on the west coast of Norway. The Directorate took samples from all fish farms in the area and delivered them to IMR in Bergen.
Samples from the escapees were also collected and analysed. Results indicated that most of the recaptured escapees originated from a specific cage, and that it was highly unlikely that the escapees came from any other fish farm. In recent years, IMR has been testing the use of DNA methods to trace escaped salmon to farm of origin. The current investigation is considered a breakthrough, as this is the first time that such methods have been used to successfully identify the source of an escape.

6) DIAGNOSING MARINE ANIMAL DIE-OFF
In the summer and fall of 2005, marine animals suddenly started dying off the southwest Florida coast, with scores of bottlenose dolphins, manatees and turtles washing up on shore. In October alone, 22 dolphins became stranded and died, compared with the usual monthly average of three. Hoping to unravel the mystery, nearly 50 researchers, part of the Working Group on Marine Mammal Unusual Mortality Events, commissioned a study of the deaths.
After taking samples from 130 stranded dolphins, they concluded that red tide - an algae bloom that creates a neurotoxin known as brevetoxin - caused the massive die-off. In the 16 years since it was formed under the auspices of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the working group has investigated scores of similar events. Experts believe a range of factors are contributing to the algae blooms and viruses linked to the die-offs, including nutrient runoff from farming, rising ocean temperatures and discarded waste such as cat litter.

7) WORLDCHANGING Q AND A WITH ROSAMOND NAYLOR
WorldChanging.com recently posted a question and answer interview with Pew Fellow Rosamond Naylor (Julie Wrigley Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, and is an Associate Professor (by courtesy) in Economics at Stanford University) on their website. The interview, which was conducted at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where Naylor gave a talk as part of the Weston Global Distinguished Lecture series sponsored by the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment, focused on her research on the global food system. When asked, "What role is aquaculture going to play in a sustainable global food system?" Naylor replied, "I think that aquaculture is going to rise very rapidly over a long period of time especially as wild fish stocks continue to decline. In some sense we can't continue to fish the ocean any more, it is just too difficult to put any more pressure on it than we already are putting on those systems."

8) AMANDA VINCENT HIGHLIGHTED IN UNIWORLD ARTICLE
Amanda Vincent, Pew Fellow and director of Project Seahorse, was highlighted in an article published in the March 2007 issue of UniWorld. The article discussed Vincent's research to evaluate the effectiveness of marine protected areas on the Philippines' Danajon Bank, one of only six double barrier coral reefs in the world. The bank's protected status comes as a result of the efforts of Kamada, an alliance of fishers who work to conserve the marine environment of Danajon Bank. Project Seahorse aided in Kamada's establishment and is now conducting a multidisciplinary project, led by Vincent, to examine resource management, biology and anthropology issues at
12 sites along the bank.

E) OPPORTUNITIES AND EVENTS

11) NEW BOOK "THE SILENT DEEP"
Until recently, as little was known of the deep ocean as of the dark side of the moon. In "The Silent Deep," deep-sea ecologist Tony Koslow, Senior Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO Marine Research, charts the saga of scientific discovery that continues to reveal unanticipated diversity and new ecosystems within this last great human frontier on the planet. Koslow reveals the ecology of the bizarre life forms that inhabit the ocean's midwater Twilight Zone, the remarkable Lilliputian fauna of the vast abyssal plains, the deepwater coral reefs growing on seamounts, and the spectacular giant clams and man-sized tube worms that thrive in deep ocean hot springs laden with toxic hydrogen sulfide. Tony Koslow is the lead signatory of the global call for a moratorium on bottom trawling on the high seas, signed by over 1300 marine scientists worldwide. The book's final chapter on conservation was co-edited by Pew Fellow Kristina Gjerde, High Seas Policy Advisor,IUCN Global Marine Program. The book is now available in bookstores or from www.unswpress.com.au.

Abstract
The anomaly patterns of rainfall in South America for El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) extreme conditions stratified according to the high, low, and normal Pacific (inter-) Decadal Oscillation (PDO) phases (HPDO, LPDO and NPDO) are examined for the three bi-months of the season from November to April. El Niño (EN) and La Niña (LN) composites as well as the linear (EN - LN) and nonlinear (EN + LN) components of the precipitation anomaly patterns relative to ENSO show substantial differences among the three PDO phases.
The differences in the strength of ENSO teleconnections for the South
American rainfall might be related to the PDO, which creates a background for these teleconnections acting constructively (destructively) when ENSO and PDO are in the same (opposite) phase. An interesting aspect is the occurrence of robust structures of the nonlinear component, which are due to the same sign rainfall anomalies for EN and LN composites. This is particularly conspicuous for the HPDO over eastern Brazil in the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ) region during Nov/Dec and Jan/Feb, for the HPDO over northern/northwestern South America during Mar/Apr, and for the NPDO over northeastern Brazil during Mar/Apr. The results presented here might have relevant implications for climate monitoring purposes. Copyright © 2006 Royal Meteorological Society

Abstract

Three indexes of spatial aggregation are developed and used to examine the aggregation pattern of sardine (Sardinops sagax) and anchovy (Engraulis ringens) in the Peruvian Humboldt Current System, determined from 36 acoustic surveys conducted from 1983 through 2003 by the Peruvian Marine Institute (IMARPE). Each index assesses a different aspect of aggregation: the concentration, the percent occupancy of space and the clustering of high-fish abundance. Both time-series correlation and tree-based clustering-regression method, classification and regression trees (CART), were used to relate each of the indexes to environmental variables (season, temperature anomaly and year). Additionally, a measure of onshore–offshore distribution, the average distance from the coast, and abundance variables (the average acoustic backscatter per occupied sampling unit, and the acoustically estimated total abundance of sardine and anchovy from IMARPE) were related to environmental factors by using CART. We show that the 1983–2003 time series can be divided into three different periods: with shifts in 1992 and in 1997–98. Sardine and anchovy showed large differences in both abundance and aggregation among these periods. Although upwelling ecosystems support dramatic and sudden changes in environmental conditions, fish responses are sometimes smoother than usually suggested and there are transition periods with concomitant high biomasses of anchovy and sardine, but with different spatial aggregation patterns. Observed relationships between environmental proxies and aggregation patterns support the habitat-based hypothesis that environmentally mediated alterations in range lead to population changes.

Para todas aquellas personas interesadas acaba de publicarse el siguiente artículo en la revista Aquatic Mammals 32 (3):

Díaz López, B., 2006. Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Predation on a Marine Fin Fish Farm: Some Underwater Observations. Aquatic Mammals 32 (3), 305 - 310,
DOI 10.1578/AM.32.3.2006.305

Resumen
This paper reports on the results of underwater observations of bottlenose dolphin feeding
behaviour in a marine fin fish farm on the Sardinian coast in Italy from 2000 to 2005. During the study period, 178 underwater encounters were noted during 79 sightings of bottlenose dolphins at a fish farm. Total time spent underwater in the presence of dolphins was 284 min, with a mean encounter duration of 1.6 ± 1.3 min. Bottlenose dolphins were primarily observed hunting both schooling and solitary prey around the fish farm cages, using
seven cooperative and individual feeding strategies throughout the water column. The underwater observations suggest that the use of different feeding strategies is consistent with the hypothesis that bottlenose dolphins apply common decision rules in relation to prey availability, resulting in the use of different foraging techniques. The observed frequency of the feeding strategies employed by dolphins preying directly on farmed fish could be
worrisome for aquaculture.
Key Words: Tursiops truncatus, bottlenose dolphin, aquaculture, behaviour, predation, marine fin fish farm, Mediterranean Sea

Estimados colegas, de nueva cuenta para ofrecer nuestras obras. En este caso queremos poner a su consideración el Manual técnico para la producción de jaiba suave en el Pacífico mexicano, editado por el Centro Universitario de la Costa de la Universidad de Guadalajara.

Este manual pretende ofrecer el conocimiento práctico para construir y operar un sistema productor de jaiba suave en la costa del Pacífico mexicano. Para su creación se han tomado como base documentos publicados por diversos autores y dirigidos a la producción de jaiba suave en diversas zonas del Golfo de México, sin embargo no se trata de una simple traducción de los mismos sino una adaptación, modificación, actualización y corrección dirigida a las condiciones y necesidades de nuestro país y particularmente a las zonas productoras de jaiba del Pacífico. Los diseños de las instalaciones son los clásicos referidos por varios autores y pueden ser modificados según la disponibilidad de materiales y equipos. Se ha tratado de tener el mayor cuidado en el manejo del lenguaje técnico para hacerlo comprensible a todos los que pueden integrar la cadena de producción desde pescadores hasta niveles gerenciales. Gran parte de la información para este tipo de producción es conocida para la costa del Atlántico, sin embargo para la costa del Pacífico es necesario determinar algunos parámetros que influyen en los sistemas de producción, para lo cual será imprescindible realizar estudios pertinentes en cada región de esta zona.

Estimados colegas, recién acabamos de sacar a la luz el diccionario especializado "El Dicamarón, diccionario de camaronicultura", en una labor de coedición entre la Universidad de Guadalajara (México) y la Universidad de La Habana (Cuba), participando en su elaboración expertos de ambos países. Me tomo la libertad de incluir la presentación del mismo.

Diccionario especializado que contiene más de mil denominaciones técnicas y concibe como destinatarios a científicos, técnicos, estudiantes y productores vinculados con esta actividad. Como obra de consulta se debe tener en cuenta también su utilidad para labor terminológica.
La estructura de la obra aparece de la siguiente forma: índice general, prólogo, presentación, inventario léxico, índices por idiomas.
Se presenta además una relación de las abreviaturas utilizadas.
El inventario léxico está ordenado alfabéticamente.
En cada entrada se contempla: número de orden consecutivo, lema, información gramatical, notas explicativas cuando las consideramos útiles, términos relacionados con el lema y equivalentes en inglés.
Los términos relacionados sólo se muestran si sugieren relaciones estrechas con el lema.
Se registran sinónimos sin definición los cuales remiten al término considerado principal aunque no todos los casos de sinónimos tienen entrada propia.
Como encabezamiento de artículo aparecen tanto sustantivos como verbos y adjetivos.
Los latinismos no llevan categoría gramatical.
Aparecen representados regionalismos, extranjerismos y neologismos, como elementos ineludibles de la realidad lingüística. En los índices por idiomas se exponen los términos en orden alfabético seguidos por el número de orden que remite a la entrada en español.

A los interesados favor de escribirme directamente a fvillasante@pv.udg.mx
