Abstract:
The Special Issue entitled “Biodiversity of Marine Microbes” aimed at highlighting the significance of marine microbes as primary producers, their participation in complex processes and interactions with both the biotic and the abiotic environment, and their important roles in biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem functioning. The issue includes five research papers, covering the diversity and composition of marine microbial communities representing all three domains of life in various marine environments, including coastal eutrophic areas, ice waters, and lagoons. One paper examined the diversity and succession of bacterial and archaeal communities from coastal waters in mesocosm experiments. The combination of classical tools with novel technological advances offers the opportunity to answer fundamental questions and shed light on the complex and diverse life of marine microbes.

Abstract:
Marine biodiversity is changing in response to numerous, mounting anthropogenic impacts, and effective conservation and management in the face of these threats requires a robust understanding of spatial and temporal patterns and trends in marine biodiversity. Achieving such an understanding is possible with the vast amounts of data present in aggregated online repositories, such as the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS), however overcoming incomparability between constituent datasets, and issues of variable methodology, detectability, and effort, requires that we employ statistical methods that ensure derived trends are robust to bias from "unstructured data". In this thesis, I explore how one of these methods, occupancy modelling, can be used to overcome issues of detectability and variable surveyor effort in OBIS data, while employing data management and analysis techniques to minimise the effects of variable methodologies. I use this combination of methods and aggregated data to assess temporal trends in the lesser-studied molluscs, expanding our understanding of molluscs in the Celtic Sea, and assessing the utility of multispecies models on a global scale for the genus Conus. I then go on to address more fundamental macroecological questions by deriving inter- and intraspecific abundance-occupancy relationships in European cetaceans, to then demonstrate how occupancy modelled unstructured data can be used to robustly estimate relative abundance of species within this group. Finally, I apply occupancy modelling to an Atlantic wide dataset of marine fauna, to attempt to address recent debate surrounding the marine latitudinal diversity gradient. I find throughout this thesis that occupancy modelling and unstructured data are useful in determining robust but coarse scale trends when sufficient data are available, and end by suggesting future avenues of research to both further test the methodology, and improve our knowledge of changes in marine biodiversity.

Abstract:
Investigations on the biodiversity in relation to conservative and non-conservative parameters in the Mangalavanam mangrove ecosystem, located in the northern fringes of Cochin City have been carried out from January to June 2002. The mangrove ecosystem is regularly under tidal influence and hence submergence and emergence of land takes place depending on the tidal amplitude. The average dissolved oxygen of the water was found to be 3.5ml/l despite the fact, phytoplankton was abundant in the ecosystem. It reveals that respiratory demand of the aquatic biota has exceeded the photosynthetic oxygen production. The indirect relationship exhibited by the quantity of phytoplankton and oxygen is attributed to anthropogenic activities, which resulted in to the eutrophication of the mangrove ecosystem. The general nutrient load was at a higher level. The macrophytic vegetation was dominated by A^icennia marina, Rhizdphora mucronata and Acanthus ilicifolius. The presence of Avicennia and Acanthus in majority of the area that showed decrease in salinity and more freshwater influx. The phytoplankton community was dominated by djatoms represented Naviculaceae followed by Coscinodisceae, which Is evidenced by the presence of high quantity of silicate. The Zooplankton was dominated by copepods. Benthic community is dominated by the infauna such as polychaetes and decapods. Juveniles of common brackish water fishes. Chanos spp., Liza spp., Etroplus spp., Silago spp., Lethrinus spp. and Lutjanus spp., and species of crustaceans like Penaeus spp., Metapenaeus spp., Macrobrachium spp., Acetes spp., Metaplex spp., Sesarma spp., Uca spp., and Scylla spp., have been found to be the residents of the mangrove ecosystem. Avian fauna comprises mostly little cormorants (Phalactocorax niger) and black crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax). Other arboreal fauna is dominated by Indian flying fox (Pteropus giganteus). An evaluation on the biodiversity of the mangrove ecosystem in the light of the present investigations reveals that species diversity Is less, but moderate population density of available species could be observed. To put It In a nutshell, human interventions on the environment has been detrimental and a general degradation of the ecosystem has been evidenced by the emergence of terrestrial vegetation and shrinking of the true mangrove areas.

Abstract:
Les communautés de poissons marins, essentielles au bon fonctionnement des écosystèmes, sont de plus en plus menacées par les pressions humaines : surpêche, dégradation des habitats, pollutions et changement climatique. Dans ce contexte, des réserves marines sont mises en place pour tenter de les protéger. Afin de mieux orienter la protection des espèces, notamment les plus vulnérables, il faut mieux connaître leur répartition spatiale et bathymétrique, mais aussi leur niveau de coexistence avec les pressions humaines. L’obtention de ces données est difficile avec les outils classiques tels que la plongée, cantonnée aux zones superficielles ou la pêche qui reste destructive et sélective sur les espèces. En alternative, le metabarcoding de l’ADN environnemental (ADNe), permet une meilleure détection des espèces, même les plus rares ou les plus furtives, et semble particulièrement adapté aux communautés des zones mésophotiques (30-150 mètres de profondeur) qui restent mal connues car relativement inaccessibles. Cette méthode consiste à collecter et amplifier l’ADN laissé par les organismes dans leur environnement, puis à l’assigner à des espèces connues par comparaison aux séquences d’une base de référence génétique. Dans quelle mesure un échantillonnage de l’ADNe le long de gradients spatiaux, bathymétriques et anthropiques va-t-il pouvoir alimenter des modèles prédictifs d’occurrence des espèces et renseigner des plans de conservation pour la biodiversité ichtyologique côtière ? Telle est la question centrale de la thèse.Le premier chapitre synthétise les connaissances actuelles sur la répartition spatiale et bathymétrique des poissons marins à l’échelle mondiale, ainsi que la disponibilité des séquences dans les bases de référence génétiques publiques. Seules 19% des 11 786 espèces marines étudiées sont couvertes par le marqueur teleo couramment utilisé pour la détection des poissons. De ce fait, les possibilités d’utilisation des données ADNe restent limitées, car 81% des espèces ne peuvent pas être identifiées. De plus, les espèces ne vivant qu’au-delà de 30m de profondeur sont moins couvertes par les bases de référence.Le deuxième chapitre présente une modélisation visant à évaluer et comparer les effets relatifs des réserves et du confinement sur les probabilités d’occurrence de 87 espèces de poissons. Pour cela, un important travail de séquençage des espèces a été réalisé pour compléter la base de référence des espèces présentes en mer Méditerranée française. Au cours des campagnes d’échantillonnage d’ADNe menées entre 2018 et 2022, des échantillons ont été récoltés à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de 11 réserves marines où la pêche est interdite, dont 160 pendant le confinement du printemps 2020 lié à l’épidémie de COVID-19. Les résultats montrent une augmentation de la probabilité d’occurrence dans les réserves pour 59% des espèces. La probabilité d’occurrence a augmenté lors du confinement pour 62% des espèces. La réponse à l’effet des réserves et du confinement est différente en fonction des espèces, suggérant que la mise en place de grandes réserves avec moins de présence humaine, en sus des réserves actuelles, sont nécessaires pour protéger l’ensemble de la biodiversité ichtyologique.Le troisième chapitre présente des modèles de distribution d’espèces prenant en compte les co-occurrences et les habitats côtiers méditerranéens. À partir de la distribution estimée de 120 espèces, des zones à protéger en priorité le long des côtes méditerranéennes françaises ont pu être identifiées pour atteindre les 30% de couverture en AMP préconisée d’ici 2030 et optimiser la conservation de la biodiversité ichtyologique.Dans cette thèse, le couplage entre les données issues du metabarcoding de l’ADNe et la modélisation a permis de décrire la répartition spatiale et bathymétrique des espèces, évaluer l’efficacité des mesures de protection et informer les futurs plans de conservation
Marine fish communities, which are essential to the proper functioning of ecosystems, are under increasing threat from human pressures: overfishing, habitat degradation, pollutions and climate change. In this context, marine reserves are set up to try to protect them. In order to better guide the protection of species, particularly the most vulnerable, we need to know their spatial and bathymetric distribution, but also their level of coexistence with human pressures. Obtaining this data is difficult with conventional tools such as diving, which is limited to superficial areas, or fishing, which is destructive and selective for species. Alternatively, the metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) allows better detection of species, even the rarest or most elusive ones, and seems particularly suited to study communities in mesophotic zones (30-150 meters deep) which remain poorly known because of their relative inaccessibility. This method consists of collecting and amplifying the DNA left by organisms in their environment, then assigning it to known species by comparison with sequences in a genetic reference database. To what extent will eDNA sampling along spatial, bathymetric and anthropogenic gradients be able to feed predictive models of species occurrence and inform conservation plans for coastal ichthyological biodiversity? This is the central question of the thesis.The first chapter summarizes current knowledge of the spatial and bathymetric distribution of marine fish at the global scale, as well as the availability of sequences in the public genetic reference databases. Only 19% of the 11,786 marine species studied are covered by the teleo marker commonly used for fish detection. As a result, the possibilities for using eDNA data remain limited, as 81% of species cannot be identified. In addition, species living only at depths greater than 30m are less well covered by reference databases.The second chapter presents modeling aimed at evaluating and comparing the relative effects of reserves and lockdown on the probabilities of occurrence of 87 fish species. To do this, a major species sequencing project was carried out to complete the reference database of species present in the French Mediterranean Sea. During the eDNA sampling campaigns carried out between 2018 and 2022, samples were collected inside and outside 11 marine reserves where fishing is banned, including 160 during the spring 2020 lockdown period linked to the COVID-19 epidemic. The results show an increase in the probability of occurrence in reserves for 59% of species. The probability of occurrence increased during lockdown for 62% of species. The response to the effect of reserves and lockdown is different depending on the species, suggesting that the establishment of large reserves with less human presence, in addition to current reserves, are necessary to protect all species.The third chapter presents species distribution models considering co-occurrences and Mediterranean coastal habitats. Based on the estimated distribution of 120 species, priority areas for conservation along the French Mediterranean coast have been identified to achieve the recommended 30% MPA coverage by 2030 and optimize the conservation of ichthyological biodiversity.In this thesis, the combination of data from eDNA metabarcoding and modeling was used to describe the spatial and bathymetric distribution of species, assess the effectiveness of protection measures and inform future conservation plans

Abstract:
Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) represents a major pool of fixed, reactive nitrogen in marine systems. It is now recognized that this pool can support primary production and the ability of some algal species to exploit DON compounds as sources of Nitrogen (N) may indicate that specific DON components can exert selective pressure on the composition of the phytoplankton community. In this study the ability of monocultures of ecologically-relevant algal species from the English Channel (Emiliania huxleyi, Micromonas pusilla, Alexandrium minutum and Chaetoceros peruvianus) to grow with DON as the only N source was examined using different artificial media. Among the two tested artificial seawater recipes, Aquil* was preferred as it contained lower micronutrient concentrations, and gave better growth results for all used species. In order to constrain the DON uptake to algae alone, a method for bacterial removal was tested using antibiotic additions. Both Slocombe antibiotic mixture (Cefotaxime-Carbenicillin-Kanamycin-AugmentinTM) and Penicillin-Streptomycin-Neomycin used were effective and not toxic to the algae. Incubation with the antibiotic up to 48 hours and a transfer period into antibiotic-free medium after 72 hours proved to be effective. However, the treatment removed bacteria in A. minutum cultures only; further treatment would be required for the other species to be cultured axenically. The ability to use DON was tested for the above mentioned species using the amino acid L-Arginine (ARG) as the sole N source, and growth was compared with nitrate-containing cultures of the same species. All the selected species grew in both NOᴈ‾ and in ARG, reaching lower final densities when incubated with ARG, although these were not significant. This study has shown that E. huxleyi, A. minutum, M. pusilla and C. peruvianus can grow on organic N, either by direct or indirect uptake, and develop comparable biomasses to species using inorganic N. Both C. peruvianus and M. pusilla cultures contained dissolved ammonium at the end of the experimental period, indicating potential indirect use by the algae of organic N converted to inorganic N by bacteria. A. minutum grew in the presence of ARG along with the cosmopolitan E. huxleyi; N-demand estimates, based on the molar concentration of N-ARG consumed, correlated with the final cell density, indicating that the species did not develop on inorganic N produced from ARG mineralisation, but directly on the ON substrate. Since A. minimum has been linked to harmful algal blooms, and E. huxleyi contributes significantly to oceanic CaCOᴈ deposition, their ability to utilise DON has environmental consequences in addition to the oceanic N-budget. Climate change scenarios predict both episodic conditions of elevated rainfall and extended periods of dry conditions leading to variable riverine inputs to coastal areas, altered nitrogen to phosphorus (N:P) ratios, and changes in the inorganic to organic balance of the nutrient pools. Organic N can constitute up to 69 % of the total N pools, respectively, making it crucial, to understand the cycling of this fraction in coastal waters, and how changes in the composition of nutrient pools could impact on marine ecosystem function and health.

Abstract:
The decline in biodiversity over the last decade has motivated researchers to investigate the relationship between species richness (biodiversity) and ecosystem function. Empirical approaches are becoming more realistic as more factors have been included. Spatial heterogeneity is an example. Heterogeneity is an inherent part of the environment and apparent in all habitat types creating a patchy, mosaic of natural landscape. Researchers have reported the extent of heterogeneity in the landscape, but surprisingly not yet included heterogeneity into biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) studies. In recent years, empirical studies of marine systems have enhanced the BEF debate. Depauperate estuarine systems are ideal candidates for establishing model systems. In this study, estuarine microphytobenthos (MPB) were used as a response variable since the relationship between MPB and primary productivity is well-known. This relationship was exploited to employ MPB biomass as a proxy for primary productivity. Benthic chambers were used to assess the effect of macrofauna in single species and multi-species treatments on both ecosystem function and net macrofaunal movement. Heterogeneity was created through enriching sediment ‘patches’ with Enteromorpha intestinalis, providing areas of high and low nutrient. Heterogeneity, macrofaunal biomass, species richness, species diversity and flow were all varied in order to assess combined effects on the functioning of the system. Heterogeneity was found to have a significant influence on ecosystem functioning and on macrofaunal movement, however, patch arrangement did not. MPB biomass was highest in patches containing organic enrichment suggesting that nutrients were obtained locally from the sediment/water interface rather than the water column. There was variation in MPB biomass with macrofaunal species, probably resulting from differences in behavioural traits. It was also evident that flow altered species behaviour, as there was a significant difference between static and flow treatments. This work shows the importance of heterogeneity for BEF relationships.

Abstract:
This study focuses on the seaweed biodiversity around the Antarctic Convergence in the South Atlantic. It integrates field work in the Falkland Islands and surrounding regions with algal culturing, molecular techniques, microscopy and morphological identification. Chapter 2 explores the diversity of seaweeds of the south-western Antarctic Peninsula which is poorly studied, contrasting with the substantial knowledge available for the northern parts of the Peninsula. A baseline seaweed species checklist for the southern Adelaide Island and northern Marguerite Bay region is presented here, combining data obtained during a small number of surveys in 1973-5 and a six week intensive diving-based field campaign in 2010-2011. Subantarctic and Antarctic regions remain little studied in their seaweed diversity. Chapter 3 is based upon field collections in the early 1970s and 2007-2013. It is supported by sequencing COI and reports new records of several macroalgal species and an oomycete. Chapter 4 revisits the enigmatic Subantarctic brown alga Cladochroa chnoosporiformis, which had been collected only on one occasion by Carl Skottsberg in 1907 from Port Philomel, West Falkland, resulting in its formal taxonomic description. Within the framework of this study, Cladochroa was rediscovered after 106 years at its type locality, confirming its existence and morphological features as described by Skottsberg. The recollection enabled molecular studies of its phylogenetic placement by DNA sequencing, suggesting that C. chnoosporiformis is conspecific with Utriculidium durvillei. In Chapter 5, DNA barcoding was applied to both seaweed tissue samples taken while preparing herbarium specimens during 2 expeditions to the Falkland Islands, and to live macroalgal isolates obtained from substratum samples using the Germling Emergence Method. In several cases, this enabled detection of previously unsequenced or undescribed taxa, respectively. The potential and challenges of applying DNA barcoding for cataloguing the biodiversity of remote bioregions such as the Falklands are discussed.

Abstract:
Free-living nematodes are abundant in all marine habitats, highly diverse and can be important ecological indicators for monitoring anthropogenic impacts on the environment. Despite such attributes, nematode diagnostics has traditionally relied on detailed comparison of morphological characters which is often difficult and laborious, and as a result there is an increasing 'black hole' in faunal inventories where the biodiversity of groups such as nematodes is typically underestimated. Molecular methods offer a potentially efficient alternative approach to studying the biodiversity of marine nematode communities, and the main focus of this thesis was to apply molecular ecological tools for improved understanding of nematode diversity in marine and estuarine environments. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) has been evaluated as a novel tool for the identification of marine nematodes and for rapid assessment of their diversity based on amplification of the nuclear 18S rRNA gene. This approach successfully identified nematode taxa based on banding pattern and was also able to detect the most abundant taxa in samples from marine and estuarine environments. A DNA barcoding approach based on the 18S rRNA gene was applied for the first time in marine nematology, in an attempt to speed up the identification process. The success rate of this approach, across a range of nematode groups, was found to be close to 97%. A combined morphometrics and molecular approach was also undertaken to investigate cosmopolitanism and cryptic speciation by analysing populations of a cosmopolitan marine nematode, Terschellingia longicaudata, from different geographical regions. Results suggest that Terschellingia longicaudata is indeed truly cosmopolitan, with a wide geographic distribution. Two haplotypes that were divergent from most T. longicaudata were also identified in this study, indicating possible novel cryptic lineages or previously undescribed species of the genus. The final focus of this thesis was to develop methods for the molecular investigation of nematodes stored in formalin and other organic compounds. The effectiveness of formalin as a short term preservative was first evaluated, since this would allow morphological and molecular work to be conducted on the same specimen. Amplifiable DNA could be routinely obtained from specimens stored in formalin for periods of up to nine days. In addition the effectiveness of other organic solvents for the preservation of both molecular and morphological integrity of marine nematodes was investigated. The final part of this study developed and optimized a novel DNA extraction technique that could be employed to recover DNA from archived formalin fixed marine nematode specimens so as to carry out subsequent molecular analysis such as PCR amplification and sequencing.

Li, Junhong. "Civil liability for damage to marine biodiversity under international law." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2012. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/359893/.

Full text
Abstract:
Marine biodiversity is of significance to the existence of humankind but has been experiencing globally continuous deterioration due to anthropogenic activities in the past decades. It has been generally accepted that damage to marine biodiversity is mainly caused by marine pollution, alien invasive species, unsustainable use and overexploitation of resources such as overfishing, destructive fishing operation and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, habitat loss, and climate change. Due to its importance, marine biodiversity must be protected and when damaged there should be liability imposed on the polluter. This thesis assesses the extent to which existing international law covers damage to marine biodiversity, permits actions and ensures recovery. To answer these questions, this thesis comprehensively examines the relevant international legal instruments on prevention and protection of marine biodiversity. It finds that protection of marine biodiversity under the current regulatory framework is piecemeal and no comprehensive liability regime exists. The factors hindering the development of an international liability regime for such damage include conceptual problems of the concept of marine biodiversity and the definition of damage to marine biodiversity, and the lack of baseline conditions as reference for the damage. Because of the gaps and inadequacy of the existing regimes which concern liability for damage to marine biodiversity, the thesis advocates that a liability regime for such damage shall be established and several important elements of such a regime are analysed. For this regime, the thesis discusses the theoretical basis first and then suggests a structure that will include relevant national legislation to be developed or refined, changes of the current multilateral liability regimes, and the creation of a new international legal instrument comprehensively addressing liability for damage to marine biodiversity within and beyond the areas of national jurisdiction. Significant obstacles in developing such a regime are identified and discussed.

Abstract:
A brief overview of the coastal biodiversity of Vietnam based on surveys conducted by the A.V. Zhirmunsky Institute of Marine Biology, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences for last 35 years. Main problems related to threats to biodiversity are discussed on the example of the intertidal communities, coral reefs, and molluscan diversity. Threats to marine biodiversity in Vietnam are summarized as follows: habitat degradation, fragmentation and loss (especially important are mangrove forest destruction, loss of coral reefs, change in landscape mosaic of wetland, estuary, sand and mud flats); global climate change including sea level rise, storm events, rainfall pattern change, warming of the coastal ocean; effects of fishing and other forms of overexploitation; pollution and marine litter; species introduction/invasions; physical alterations of coasts; tourism. Consolidated data of Vietnamese and Russian researchers on biodiversity and coastal zone management can be used in interpretations of ecosystem changes and for development of recommendations for local/national decision-makers.

Full text
Abstract:
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are widely used as place-based protective measures for restoring and safeguarding marine biodiversity. When ecological connectivity is taken into account during design and management, the results can lead to more effective and resilient MPAs and MPA networks. This publication provides 13 ‘Rules of Thumb’ to support more consistent efforts by MPA managers and marine conservation professionals to implement connectivity conservation and better measure progress towards global conservation targets. These purpose-built tools are intended to inform more effective management and protection of oceans and coasts by covering a diversity of science and policy issues. They can also be used to progress system-based marine conservation as an essential component of national, transboundary, and global policies that establish greater connectivity across borders and at larger scales.

Abstract:
In this multi-component exercise, you have been recruited as community scientists to analyze real-world data collected in Vatu-i-Ra Seascape using non-destructive diver operated video (DOV) methods. These videos were previously collected by the Wildlife Conservation Society in collaboration with local divers in Fiji. Students will quantitatively analyze and use this data to assess the fisheries management efficacy of tabu areas—a traditional Fijian approach to create no-take, Marine Protected Areas—as a method of promoting marine biodiversity and improving overall ecosystem health using metrics such as fish abundance and coral reef complexity. During this exercise you will also learn about the importance and cultural significance of tabu areas in relation to ecosystem health and human livelihoods. You will be directed on how to visualize the results and summarize their conclusions through a written report in the style of a scientific journal article. In the discussion section of your scientific journal article, you are encouraged to critically think about study limitations and discuss future research directions to expand the project.

Abstract:
Coral reefs, the most biodiverse of all marine ecosystems, are of high ecological, cultural, and financial importance, yet they are declining on a global scale due to several anthropogenic factors. Current threats to coral reefs highlight the urgent need for effective research, monitoring, and management of these ecosystems. In this case study-based exercise, students will compare and contrast biodiversity information about Hawaiian reefs between traditional diver surveys and eDNA based applications, consider the benefits and limitations of each method for coral reef fish monitoring, and use these data to designate potential marine protected areas (MPAs). As part of this process, they will practice identifying species based on genetic sequencing data using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) of the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Lastly, students will be introduced to different approaches to protection of marine systems in Hawai‘i, including the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, and reflect on the diversity of approaches to management of seascapes.
