Parasitic infections in ornamental cichlid fish in the Peruvian Amazon

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and seasonal distribution of the main parasite species in Amazonian ornamental cichlids that affect their trade. The study was conducted from August 2007 to September 2009. We sampled 3042 specimens from 9 different species, of which 9.47% had at least one type of external parasite. 81.25% of the cases occurred in the dry season. Crenicichla anthurus (28.57%) was the most parasitized, followed by Aequidens diadema (26.32%), Pterophyllum scalare (22.69%), Cichlasoma sp. (9.52%), Apistogramma sp. (3.88%) and Symphysodon aequifasciatus (3.66%). Monogenea was the most abundant group of parasites, occurring in 66.67% of the cases, of which 96.88% occurred in the dry season. This parasite infested 95.68% of Pterophyllum scalare, 76.67% of Apistogramma sp, 33.33% of Cichlasoma sp. and 23.81% of Symphysodon aequifasciatus cases. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infested 100% of Aequidens diadema, 76.19% of Symphysodon aequifasciatus, 66.67% of Cichlasoma sp, 41.67% of Crenicichla anthurus and 23.33% of Apistogramma sp cases. Myxosporidia infested 58.33% of Crenicichla anthurus. Trichodina infested 4.32% of Pterophyllum scalare. The prevalence of these parasites is related to the season, preferred habitat, fish behavior, individual susceptibility and handling of animals during transportation by fishermen.

Occurrence and behavior of butyltins in intertidal and shallow subtidal surface sediments of an estuarine beach under different sampling conditions

Contamination by butyltin compounds (BTs) has been reported in estuarine environments worldwide, with serious impacts on the biota of these areas. Considering that BTs can be degraded by varying environmental conditions such as incident light and salinity, the short-term variations in such factors may lead to inaccurate estimates of BTs concentrations in nature. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the possibility that measurements of BTs in estuarine sediments are influenced by different sampling conditions, including period of the day (day or night), tidal zone (intertidal or subtidal), and tides (high or low). The study area is located on the Brazilian southeastern coast, Sao Vicente Estuary, at Pescadores Beach, where BT contamination was previously detected. Three replicate samples of surface sediment were collected randomly in each combination of period of the day, tidal zone, and tide condition, from three subareas along the beach, totaling 72 samples. BTs were analyzed by GC-PFPD using a tin filter and a VF-5 column, by means of a validated method. The concentrations of tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT), and monobutyltin (MBT) ranged from undetectable to 161 ng Sn g(-1) (d.w.). In most samples (71%), only MBT was quantifiable, whereas TBTs were measured in only 14, suggesting either an old contamination or rapid degradation processes. DBT was found in 27 samples, but could be quantified in only one. MBT concentrations did not differ significantly with time of day, zones, or tide conditions. DBT and TBT could not be compared under all these environmental conditions, because only a few samples were above the quantification limit. Pooled samples of TBT did not reveal any difference between day and night. These results indicated that, in assessing contamination by butyltin compounds, surface-sediment samples can be collected in any environmental conditions. However, the wide variation of BTs concentrations in the study area, i.e., over a very small geographic scale, illustrates the need for representative hierarchical and composite sampling designs that are compatible with the multiscalar temporal and spatial variability common to most marine systems. The use of such sampling designs will be necessary for future attempts to quantitatively evaluate and monitor the occurrence and impact of these compounds in nature

O surgimento da navegação entre os povos dos sambaquis: argumentos, hipóteses e evidências

As evidências arqueológicas encontradas ao longo do litoral brasileiro atestam que essa área era ocupada, desde, pelo menos, 8.000 anos AP, por grupos pescadores coletores que exploravam os ambientes aquáticos costeiros. Embora a comunidade científica acredite que os sambaquieiros fossem exímios navegadores, evidências a esse respeito ainda são raras. Neste artigo, a partir de uma abordagem focada na Arqueologia Marítima, são apresentados argumentos, hipóteses e evidências que discutem o entendimento de que, além de uma forte relação econômica e simbólica com os ambientes aquáticos, os povos dos sambaquis se apropriaram de ou desenvolveram técnicas de navegação e artefatos náuticos.

Contribution to the biology and fishery of the deep-water red crab, Chaceon Affinis (A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1894) (Decapoda, Brachyura, Geryonidae) in deep waters of the Canary Islands (Central-East Atlantic)

[EN] This crab was captured in the whole range of depths sampled, although its highest abundance was found between 600 and 800 m, on muddy-rocky bottoms. Moreover, significant differences were observed in the average weight and length, according to depth of capture, island of origin, and date of survey. In general, the b parameter of length-weight relationship indicates a negative allometric growth pattern, although in some cases it was not statistically different from isometry, particularly in males. Males were heavier, larger, and more abundant in catches than females.

Presentación del libro: La pesca, entre sus circunstancias y consecuencias

[ES] El mundo de la pesca y de los pescadpres ha estado, desde muy antiguo, envuelto en una dualidad que titubea entre la probreza y la opulencia, entre los héroes solitarios, que se juegan la vida en un mundo hostil, y los piratas que saquean el mar hasta esquilmarlo. Sin embargo, y partiendo de que todas estas situaciones y aptitudes se codean diariamente en nuestros océanos, es verdad que la pesca está plagada de circunstancias que van más allá de las simplemente bucólicas o las absolutamente malditas. La pesca es el único sustento de cientos de miles de familias desde el primer al tercer mundo, auqnue de forma mayoritaria en este último, que sufrirán en primera instancia las consecuencias de la irracionalidad, perpretada en todo el planeta, y que ha llevado la productividad del océano al borde, si no lo ha superado ya, de la sostenibilidad. Desgraciadamente, los culpables de tal sinrazón no se encuentran únicamente enrolados en los barcos de pesca, sino que piratas y mercenarios integran también las huestes de científicos, gestores y políticos con responsabilidades en pesca. Es posible incluso que sean los pescadores los únicos que han hecho su trabajo bien, pescar, aunque quizás con egoismo desmedido. (JJ Castro, Prefacio)

La Conexión Africana : el impacto de las plataformas de petróleo

[ES] Durante más de dos décadas hemos estudiado la deriva larvaria desde la plataforma africana hacia el Archipiélago Canario. Se ha encon-trado una conectividad entre ambas costas, la denominada Conexión Africana, que origina un fenómeno de amplia trascendencia biológica y socioeconómica para las pesquerías locales en Canarias. Dicho transporte larvario promueve un flujo genético y un aporte de nuevos indi-viduos que alimenta las pesquerías alrededor de las islas, existiendo una coincidencia entre las especies dominantes en la plataforma africana, la presencia de sus larvas en los filamentos de afloramiento que se ex-tienden hacia el archipiélago, y las capturas por parte de los pescadores canarios. Los resultados tanto de las distintas campañas oceanográficas como de los modelos desarrollados muestran que existe un transporte importante de partículas y organismos hacia el Archipiélago Canario. Este transporte demuestra que, al igual que las larvas, todo aquello que derive en la masa de agua en la zona derivará hacia las Islas Canarias. Las plataformas de petróleo que se quieren instalar entre el Archipiéla-go Canario y la costa africana se localizan justamente en el lugar de mayor sensibilidad para el transporte larvario que alimenta las pesquerías de pequeños pelágicos. Un derrame en esta zona tendrá un impacto ecológico catastrófico en todas las islas, tal y como se reconoce en estudios de la propia concesionaria, afectando a los sistemas pelágicos y costeros durante un período de tiempo indeterminado.
