Abstract:

Cherax destructor is a crayfish endemic to south-eastern Australia and one of the last alien crayfish to be introduced in Italy. In the Laghi di Ninfa Natural Reserve (Latium region, Central Italy), the species was probably introduced in 1999, but only reported for the first time in 2008. Nearby this area, the most widespread alien crayfish is the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii. In the Natural Reserve, between 2008 and 2013 and during spring and summer, crayfish sampling was carried out with baited traps to assess the distribution of C. destructor and its possible relationship with P. clarkii. Cherax destructor was first recorded in 2008; few P. clarkii were detected in the cultivation ponds where C. destructor was present in 2012 and 2013. Moreover, crayfish plague analyses evidenced a positive result in two out of the 12 sampled P. clarkii. Cherax destructor is now completely absent from the Natural Reserve, while P. clarkii has spread in the area and was probably responsible for this eradication since C. destructor is vulnerable to crayfish plague which was also detected in the area. An ecosystem restoration project in the area favoured the spread of. P. clarkii; the implications of this intervention are discussed.

Abstract:

This study tested the hypothesis that the introduced yabbie Cherax destructor Clark, 1936 has the potential to compete with the endemic marron Cherax cainii Austin, 2002 for food resources. Multiple stable isotope analyses were conducted in the Hutt River, Western Australia, in summer (December) and winter (July), 2003. Summer samples indicated that these species occupied similar predatory trophic positions when their assimilated diet consisted of a large proportion of Gambusia holbrooki. Although C. cainii continued to assimilate mostly animal matter based on winter signatures, those of C. destructor appeared to shift towards a more herbivorous trophic position. The study suggests that C. destructor and C. cainii may be keystone species in the Hutt River, possibly altering the cycling of nutrients and structure of the aquatic food web since their introduction into this system. The ecological implications of the continued invasion of C. destructor into the aquatic systems of south-western Australia, particularly with regard to competition with the other endemic freshwater crayfishes, are discussed.

Abstract:

Cherax is a genus of 58 species of decapod crustaceans that are widespread across Australia and New Guinea. We use single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to examine phylogeographic patterns in the most widespread species of Cherax, namely, C. destructor, and test the distinctiveness of one undescribed species, two C. destructor subspecies, previously proposed evolutionarily significant units, and management units. Both the phylogenetic analyses and the analysis of fixed allelic differences between populations support the current species-level taxonomy of C. setosus, C. depressus, C. dispar and C. destructor, the distinctiveness of C. destructor albidus and C. d. destructor and the existence of one undescribed species. The two populations of C. d. albidus from the Glenelg and Wimmera rivers were significantly distinct, with eight diagnostic differences (<1% fixed differences, null expectation is four fixed differences), but this low level of divergence is interpreted as within the range that might be expected of management units, that is, among allopatric populations of a single species or subspecies. A southern clade of C. d. destructor comprising the Murray River and its tributaries upstream from its confluence with the Darling River is genetically distinct from a northern clade comprising populations from the Lake Eyre Basin, the northern half of the Murray–Darling Basin (Darling River catchment) and the Lower Murray River below the Darling confluence.

Abstract:

A study under controlled conditions of ovarian development and rematuration in the yabby (Cherax destructot) was undertaken. The purpose of the study was to improve fundamental understanding of the reproductive biology of the species and provide a basis for application to hatchery management in culture. A review was made of the current status of yabby culture in Australia and the present understanding of reproductive biology of decapod Crustacea. The review emphasised factors controlling several aspects of ovarian development, in particular the processes of vitellogenesis. The subsequent study was designed within the context of current hatchery practice and was based on existing knowledge of decapod reproduction, The sexual differentiation of the yabby after hatching was investigated by serial histological sections, and experiments were carried out to investigate the possibility of sex reversal of males. Most of this Investigation was concerned with removing the influence of the androgenic gland in directing male development, with the intent of observing the development of the elementary gonadal tissue into ovary. It was found that in contrast to other crustacean species, the sex of the yabby becomes fixed before the development of external secondary sexual characteristics, and before the androgenic gland can be discerned. Ovarian tissue developed in females at less than 8 weeks after hatching. A preliminary examination was undertaken for feminising parasites in gonadal tissue of a hermaphrodite yabby. Investigation of the ovary after spawning demonstrated that whilst the female was held under constant conditions of temperature and photoperiod, little rematuration occurred. Except for generation of previtellogenic oocytes during the first two days, the gonaciosomatic index remained low for up to 5 months after spawning. If the temperature of the female was reduced to 10°C and maintained constant, the previtellogenic oocytes were partially resorbed over a three week period. Rematuration then commenced, albeit at a low rate because of the reduced temperature, A method for standardising gonadosomatic indices was developed which took into account differences in hepatopancreatic nutrient reserves of individuals and loss of one or more appendages. This part of the study also considered constraints to rematuration and developed a method of accounting for differences in the ability of females to remature after spawning. Experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of crowding and temperature manipulation on initiating ovarian rematuration and to determine the rate of rematuration at 22°C once initiated. The duration of low temperature had no effect on rematuration; an overnight cooling was sufficient to initiate the process, Rematuration to the end of stage 2 vltellogenesis was substantially complete within 10 days. Crowding of females suppressed rematuration, but less than ideal water quality was not found to have any effect. The presence of a male initiated rematuration at a similar rate, but also led to stage 3 vitetlogenesis and spawning. A study was made of the pheromonal influence of the male through water borne factors without success. Rematuration could not be induced in ovigerous females. The literature review indicated that ovarian rematuration was under the control of an ovary stimulating hormone produced by the thoracic nerve ganglia. Attempts were therefore made to stimulate ovarian rematuration by incorporating the thoracic nerve into the diet of females. Attempts were also made to induce the release of ovary stimulating hormone from the thoracic nerve with 5-hydroxytryptamine, and also with octopamine. No effects were found, but a significant difference between the neurophysiology of the yabby and northern hemisphere crayfish was observed, and the implications of this finding are discussed. The study did not produce any conclusive evidence of an ovary stimulating hormone for the yabby. A model of ovarian rematuration which collects the findings of the experimental investigations was developed, and was used to suggest a hatchery broodstock management protocol. This model differs from existing models in that rematuration triggers and nutritional status are considered.

Abstract:

Inhibitory neurons exert control the expression of many aspects of behaviour by regulating the effectiveness of excitatory neural function. By comparison with excitatory neural systems, relatively little is known about the development of inhibitory neurons and the influence which these neurons exert on the development of other neural systems. Two issues which relate to the development of inhibitory neurons are of particular interest. First, a paradox arises when inhibitory neurons are considered in terms of modern models of synaptic development which involve activity-dependent mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. Second, there is some evidence that inhibitory neurotransmitters may act in a special trophic manner during the early development of nervous systems. Investigations of these issues would be greatly facilitated in a neural system in which it was possible to experimentally control aspects of the development of individual pre- and postsynaptic cells. The aim of the results presented in this thesis was to characterise the normal development of one such system: the GABAergic inhibitory system of the Australian freshwater crayfish, Cherax destructor. The ontogeny of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA across the embryonic period of 30% to 100% development was investigated using immunohistochemical techniques. GABA-like immunoreactive cells and fibres were first detected in the embryonic brain region. The expression of GABA-like immunoreactivity progressed along a rostro-caudal gradient, with GABA-like immunoreactive cells being detected in the most anterior thoracic ganglia at 45% development and in all ganglia by 65% development. GABA-like immunoreactive fibres were evident in peripheral nerves as early as 55% development and ramified extensively throughout the neuropil of the nervous system by 65% development. By contrast, immunoreactivity to the primary excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate, was not detected until 60-65% development. Glutamate-like immunoreactivity at 60-65% development was evident only in the form of punctate staining in the midline of the ventral nerve cord. Cell body staining was observed only at 90% development and was restricted to only a few cells on the periphery of the ventral nerve cord. Radio-labelled ligand binding methods and autoradiography were used to study the expression of putative GABA receptors in the Cherax embryos from 30% to 100% development. Specific binding was evident in the earliest embryos studies at 30% development. There was an initial increase in binding from 30% to 40% development, followed by a dramatic drop to almost zero binding at 50-55% development. This was followed by a gradual increase in binding levels with age, reaching a plateau at 85% development. Preliminary pharmacological evaluation of binding indicated that at least three GABA receptor types were expressed during embryonic development. Methods for culturing, dissociated neural tissues explanted form Cherax embryos at 85% development were established. The success of cultures was demonstrated by neurite extension, and neuronal networks in which neurons appeared to form connections with other neurons and with explanted muscle cells after two days in culture. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that some explanted neurons expressed GABA-like immunoreactivity within two days of explanting. These studies have provided a comprehensive description of the development of GABAergic neurons and their receptors in Cherax destructor embryos. The very early expression of GABA-like immunoreactivity, coupled with the early onset of specific GABA binding, strongly indicates that the GABAergic neurons are functional and able to exert an effect on other cells during much of the period of nervous system development in crayfish embryos. These results support the hypothesis that inhibitory neurons may play an important role as regulators of the overall process of assembly and maturation of the nervous system and provide a substantial basis for future experimental studies in which the specific action of inhibitory neurons on the development of discrete components of the crayfish nervous system may be investigated.

Abstract:

The evaluation of the sub-chronic exposure to atrazine on crayfish The aim of this study is to evaluate the sub-chronic effect of atrazin on a behaviour, oxidative stress, antioxidant enzyme aktivities and biochemical profile of haemolymph in. These complex data should help to appraise the impact of this substance in the environment. The total test duration was 28 days and was divided into two periods. The first 14 days the crayfish were exposed to two concentrations of atrazine: 6.86 micrograms per liter (ATRenv = environmental concentration in the water in the Czech Republic) and 1.21 milligrams per liter (ATR10% = is coincident to 10% LC50). After the atrazine treatments the depuration 2 weeks phases in water without any chemicals followed. The results indicate that sub-chronic effect of atrazine influenced neither the behaviour of the crayfish nor the level of oxidative stress (measured by TBARS), whereas the changes of superoxiddismutase (SOD) were observed in all tissues (muscles, gills and hepatopancreas). The changes of enzyme activity were observed in catalase (CAT; hepatopancreas and the muscle tissue), glutathione S-transferase (hepatopancreas and the gills tissue), glutathione reductase (GR; the hepatopancreas tissue) and reduced glutathione (the muscle tissue). The influence of ATRenv on the biochemical profile of haemolymph at the following parameters was estimated only for lactate and alkaline, however phosphatase changes made by ATR10% were significant for glucose, ammonia, lactate and alkaline phosphatase measurements. The sub-chronical effect changed the activity of all antioxidant enzymes in hepatopancreas, muscles and the gills tissue of the observed crayfish. The presented results in this study are giving compact information of impact of atrazine on the crayfish and the whole water environment. The suggestion of using the crayfish for tests of toxicity looks like an ideal supplement for triazine herbicide estimations.

Abstract:

Crayfish have been in demand as desirable food items around the globe for centuries, and entrepreneurs have capitalized on this demand by developing and applying aquaculture principals for the intentional culture of this freshwater crustacean. The current state of the art has advanced within the last half century and is centered on a handful of species, represented by three different families, with some level of commercial production occurring on all continents except Antarctica. Procambarus clarkii (family Cambaridae), a native of south central USA, is cultured in the USA and China and easily forms the bulk of farm-raised and wild-captured crayfish globally. One North American species (Pacifastacus leniusculus) and two European species (Astacus astacus and A. leptodactylus) constitute the main cultured species from the family Astacidae and are grown in small operations throughout Europe and parts of Asia. Four species (Parastacidae), all natives of Oceania, are cultured in their native ranges and were also introduced for aquaculture in several locations around the globe. Cherax destructor and C. albidus, both commonly referred to as yabby, are medium-size crayfish and share similar life histories, whereas C. quadricarinatus (redclaw crayfish) and C. cainii (smooth marron) are larger and more valuable but have very different geographical origins. While commercial crayfish aquaculture is typically based on an extensive or semi-extensive production approach in earthen ponds, more intensive approaches may involve selective breeding, improved strains, brood or nursery phases, and use of raceways or recirculation systems. Pond size can range from 0.05 to 80 ha, depending on the species cultured. Harvesting is accomplished mainly by baited trap, although other gear and techniques are sometimes employed. Global crayfish aquaculture production has expanded significantly in the last decade, due largely to the integration of Procambarus clarkii with that of rice production in the USA and China. This integrated system of production works well because rice farming has similar requirements as crayfish aquaculture, such as clay soils, irrigation systems, and suitable climates; furthermore, the rice crop residue provides the base of the food web for furnishing sustenance to growing crayfish.

Abstract:

This chapter explores the multiple forces that predispose capitalism to ever-increasing amounts of environmental damage. Sociologists discuss the treadmill of production, the degradation of the biosphere coming from increasing population growth and GDP requiring consuming ever-greater amounts of natural resources. A more refined argument is expanding frontiers of production. Modern economies require the incorporation of ever-greater amounts of physical space into capitalist production. Whenever an area is converted to commercial use, its natural function gets destroyed. The chapter then considers how capitalism is dependent on the four cheaps: cheap food, cheap energy, cheap natural resources, and cheap labor. All four are subject to expanding frontiers of production. However, the physical destruction of environments is not the only problem with expanding frontiers of production. The incorporation of new space into capitalist production means the dislocation of the population originally living in that space. Ultimately, landlessness leads to political volatility and warfare.

Abstract:

In Jacques Derrida’s Archive Fever (1995), the motif of the missing woman appears in the guise of Gradiva, a character from William Jensen’s novella (1903) of the same name. At once a ghostly image and a presence evoked by a few material traces, Gradiva motivates the construction of the archive and, for Derrida, its eventual destruction. Yet in omitting a key part of Jensen’s text, namely the flesh-and-blood woman Zoë, Derrida consigns the archive to a space of haunting. This Gradivan logic, where the body of the living woman is excluded from her chimerical image, adheres in several films that are pointedly about the film archive. Bill Morrison’s The Film of Her (1996) reproduces the melancholic terms of Derrida’s Gradivan theory, while Cheryl Dunye’s The Watermelon Woman (1996) and Radha May’s When the Towel Drops, Volume 1, Italy (2015) offer feminist critiques of the gendered materiality on which it is predicated.

Abstract:

Recent scientific researches show that human influence on climate change due to the use of conventional energy is continuously affecting the world. By all means, conventional energy sources destruct the earth, living standards of environment, and health leading to unnecessary risks and high costs. Therefore, nations focus to find new solutions of renewable energy sources which are clean, healthful, smart, and affordable. This chapter explores one of the new forms of smart energy management systems for heating called “heat pump” and its development in Turkey. Heat pumps offer smart heating solutions for buildings that lower the imported energy costs in the economies. The study shows that as Turkey facing severe financial burdens, major factors still act against the progress of renewable energy investments and energy efficiency solutions. However, efforts to improve energy saving investments like heat pumps could be promising for cheap and smart energy source, if only Turkey sticks to a sound action plan developing public awareness and education.
