Abstract:
In 1903, the Scripps Marine Association was founded in La Jolla, San Diego. It was rechristened the Scripps Institution of Oceanography two decades later. Today it is one of the largest marine research institutions in the world. The present study aims to reconstruct the history of this institution during the first years of its existence, the life of its first director, W. E. Ritter, and the cultural and scientific background of both. In particular, through the use of archival sources and unpublished materials, the essay reports on Ritter’s dream to import a form of holistic biology from Europe to southern California. This biology, which Ritter termed “organismal,” had to challenge reductionist and mechanist approaches to life sciences, including Weismann’s and Mendelian’s theories of heredity, both considered ideologically biased, politically dangerous, and scientifically flawed. Ritter believed that his new biology had to be grounded in a pluralist approach where laboratory and field investigations went hand in hand. In addition, the new biology had to support a progressivist political agenda whereby biological studies were linked with the political progress and the democratization of California and the United States. Despite its ambitions, Ritter’s research program was rapidly forgotten after the 1930s. In the conclusion, the article explores a few possible hypotheses explaining why this happened.

Abstract:
In order to meet the spirit of interdisciplinary teaching, this study combined the existing teaching materials with students' life experience using the existing resources in the community to train their ability to achieve mastery in any area of their life. Focusing on the ecological teaching in the Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, teachers in the subjects of biology, Chinese, and information discussed the teaching direction and designed a series of teaching programs in a comprehensive way. The course ran for one year with a total of 72 classes and two classes a week. The teachers in the three subjects carried out collaborative teaching according to the contents they had prepared together. The objects of this study were 33 high school students who participated in the biology curriculum. It was hoped that they would be provided with a more comprehensive and integrated education and their interest in learning would be cultivated through integrating interdisciplinary teaching into marine education. The research conclusions are: 1) through the systematic and cross-curricular courses prepared together and curriculum activities, students were able to learn more fully and effectively integrate the content of those subjects; and 2) through the strategy of outdoor teaching at Ocean Fantasy Museum, the interest and learning attitude of high school students were effectively promoted and students' knowledge on marine organisms was enhanced. Therefore, the design and implementation of a cross-curriculum teaching plan in this course can contribute to the expansion of marine education.

Abstract:
The naturalist Charles Darwin founded modern ecology, considering in a single conceptual framework the manifold aspects regarding the organization of life at various levels of complexity and its relationship with the physical world. The development of powerful analytical tools led to abandon Darwin's natural history and to transform naturalists, as Darwin labelled himself, into the practitioners of more focused disciplines, aimed at tackling specific problems that considered the various aspects of the organization of life in great detail but, also, in isolation from each other. Among the various disciplines that stemmed from the Darwinian method, ecology was further split into many branches, and marine ecology was no exception. The compartmentalization of the marine realm into several sub-domains (e.g., plankton, benthos, nekton) led to neglect of the connections linking the various parts that were separated for the ease of analyses that, in this way, prevented synthetic visions. The way marine sciences were studied also led to separate visions depending on the employed tools, so that ship-based biological oceanography developed almost separately from marine station-based marine biology. The necessity of putting together such concepts as biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is rapidly leading to synthetic approaches that re-discover the historical nature of ecology, leading to the dawn of a new natural history.

Full text
Abstract:
A population of Prototransversotrema steeri Angel, 1969 is recorded from the introduced fish Gambusia affinis and the native species Pseudomugil signifer and Mugil cephalus in fresh water in Queensland, Australia. Adults of P. steeri are considerably smaller than adults previously described from marine fish. This appears to be a host-related phenomenon, possibly reflecting the size of the subscale niche offered by the host. The intermediate host is Posticobia brazieri, a hydrobiid snail. It is suggested that different hydrobiid snails may act as intermediate hosts in other parts of Australia. The miracidium develops into a mother sporocyst which produces a single mother redia. Mother rediae produce daughter rediae which may produce further daughter rediae or cercariae. Cercariae emerge from the redia while still embryonic and develop independently in the tissues of the snail. Upon emergence the cercariae attach directly to the definitive host and commence egg-production within 6 days. Gambusia affinis, Xiphophorus rnaculatus, X. helleri, Craterocephalus marjoriae and Mugil cephalus were all infected experimentally. I discuss various theories concerning the phylogenetic position of the Transverso- trematidae within the Digenea and conclude that the family occupies an isolated position not closely allied with any other group.

Abstract:
Winter conditions impose dramatic constraints on temperate, boreal, and polar ecosystems, and shape the abiotic and biotic interactions underpinning these systems. At high latitudes, winter can last longer than the growing season and may have a disproportionately large impact on organisms and ecosystems. Even so, our understanding of the ecological implications of winter is often lacking. Indeed, even what exactly defines winter is currently unclear, and boundaries that delineate this season are blurred across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial realms and fields of biology. Here, we discuss the complexity of defining winter, and highlight the importance of maintaining the capacity to test hypotheses across seasons, realms, and domains of life. We then outline questions drawn from diverse fields of research that address current gaps in our understanding of winter ecology and how winter influences multiple levels of biological organization, from individuals to ecosystems. Finally, we highlight the potential consequences of changes to both the length and severity of winter due to climate change, and discuss the role winter may play in mediating ecosystem function in the future.

Hageman, John. "The Reproductive Biology of the Paddlefish, Polyodon Spathula (Walbaum), in Lake Cumberland, Kentucky." TopSCHOLAR®, 1985. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/2427.

Full text
Abstract:
The reproductive biology of the paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) was studied on specimens collected from Lake Cumberland, Kentucky, from September 1983 to July 1984. A total of 500 specimens was studied. Reproductive activity was observed on 17 April 1984 in the Big South Fork of Lake Cumberland. Seasonal differences were observed in sex ratios with more males than females occurring in the winter and spring. Movements were observed throughout the year, but these were accentuated prior to reproduction in the spring. Lake Cumberland paddlefish became sexually mature by Age Group V in males and VIII in females. In the spring, gravid females were found only in upstream spawning areas while non-gravid females occurred throughout the rest of the lake. This supported the alternating year spawning hypothesis for females of this species; mature males were found in all lake locations sampled at this time. Gonad development in Lake Cumberland paddlefish started in September-October and continued progressively throughout the year until egg release. Gonad fat bodies responded inversely with gonad development, progressively decreasing in size as the gonads increased. The liver and throat fat bodies did not show this weight correlation but were concluded to be important in the energetics of the gonads. Coefficients of condition for Lake Cumberland paddlefish corresponded closely with gonad development. Condition values for Lake Cumberland paddlefish were greater than those reported in the literature. This supported the idea that the optimum habitat for paddlefish is in lakes rather than rivers. The estimated average annual fecundity for Lake Cumberland paddlefish was similar to that reported in other studies. No relationship was seen between number of eggs and fish size. All sexually mature males and some females exhibited prominent secondary sexual characteristics.

Szedlmayer, Stephen T. "Early life history of weakfish Cynoscion regalis (Bloch and Schneider)." W&M ScholarWorks, 1988. https://scholarworks.wm.edu/etd/1539791567.

Full text
Abstract:
Juvenile weakfish Cynoscion regalis, life history was studied in the York River estuary, Virginia. to verify daily aging methods of juvenile fish, both male and female adults were induced to spawn by injection of 200 IU Human chorionic gonadotropin/Kg wet weight. Subsequent larval and juvenile fish were reared up to 275 days with wild plankton and a daily rotating diet of squid, liver, Anchoa mitchilli, and Menidia menidia. Otoliths and scales were examined for daily microincrements patterns. Otolith ring counts were highly variable (31% varied by &>& 15% among 3 counts). Two problems were evident: (1) Microincrements frequently split to form two increments; and (2) Otoliths from a size series of fish (6.12-13.1 mm) indicated that weakfish otoliths grew by bud formation rather than concentric deposition. Scale circuli showed little variation between counts (99.5% of 2 counts from an individual scale were the same). Daily scale deposition was suggested by rearing up to 100 days, after which ring deposition was less than daily, however further research is needed because only one fish was reared past 25 days. The advantages of scale circuli counting over otolith increment counting were increased precision and ease of preparation. Field samples were collected weekly from the York River channel, at night using a 4.9 m, 1.5 mm cod end, trawl, during the weakfish nursery period (Aug-Oct 1983). The new technique of daily aging by scales, was applied to 845 of 922 weakfish collected. Counts ranged from 3 to 100 circuli/scale. Three cohorts were defined from the 1983 0-age fish. Growth rates estimated from scales (0.76-1.13 mm/d) were similar to those from length frequencies (1.0-1.2 mm/d). Analysis of covariance showed a significant difference (0.05 level) in growth rates among cohorts and among stations, but third order interactions (station, cohort, growth rate) were not detected. Mortality/migration rates estimated from decline in mean catch were significantly different between cohorts 1 and 2 (0.05 level, t-test). Weakfish were first abundant as new recruits at the river mouth, and moved upriver as they grew. In the fall a reverse migration occurred. Birthdate frequency by station and date indicated that different cohorts used different areas of the York River.

Abstract:
Six species of haplosplanchnids are reported in this study. Haplosplanchnus caudatus (Srivastava, 1939) Skrjabin and Guschanskaja, 1955 was found in large numbers in 8 of 9 Mugil cephalus. H. purii Srivastava, 1939 was found in small numbers in 2 of 9 Liza vaigiensis and 1 of 9 Mugil cephalus. Both of these findings represent a new locality record. Schikhobalotrema southi n. sp. is described from a single specimen from Scarus rivulatus. S. scari n. sp. from the same host is also described from a single specimen. Schikhobalotrema sp. is described but not named because of insufficient data. Hymenocotta mulli Manter, 1961 from Mugil cephalus and Liza vaigiensis is also reported, based on one specimen from each host. New synonyms: Haplosplanchnus stunkardi Gupta and Ahmad, 1979 is a synonym of H. caudatus (Srivastava, 1939) Skrjabin and Guschanskaja, 1955. H. otolithi Gupta and Ahmad, 1979 is a synonym of H. purii Srivastava, 1939. Neohaplosplanchnus ablennis Abdul-Salam and Khalil, 1987 is transferred to the genus Schikhobalotrema becoming S. ablennis n. comb. A key to the genus Schikhobalotrema including the new species is included.

Abstract:
Four new species of Hurleytrematoides Y amaguti, 1954 are described: H. fl}iensis from Heniochus acuminatus pnd Chaetodon citrinellus, H. prevoti from Chaetodon melannotus; H bartolii from Heniochus acuminatus and H monoceros, and H. zebrasomae from Zebrasoma scopas. The hurleytrematine genera Hurleytrema, Hurleytrematoides, Pseudohurleytrema and Parahurleytrema are briefly discussed and their validity accepted based chiefly on the structure of the male and female terminal structures. Hurleytrema pyriforme Overstreet, 1969 and H. catarinensis Amato, 1982 are transferred to Pseudohur/eytrema as new combinations. The generic diagnosis of Hurleytrematoides is emended to include cirrus with large and extensive spines or small ones with limited distribution, and a spiny or aspinose unipartite terminal organ. A key to the hurleytrematine genera with single testis and their species is given. A parasite-host list of all monorchiid species reported to date is included.

Abstract:
The population dynamics, life histories, and patterns of emergence in an assemblage of inshore cumaceans (Crustacea, Peracarida) in Dania, Florida (the boat basin at Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center) were investigated over the course of 13 months. Three sampling methodologies were employed. Replicate box sampling (bimonthly, Mar 91-Mar 92) determined seasonal variations in population composition and density. Surface plankton net tows (monthly, Dec 90-Feb 92) determined seasonal recruitment and spawning cycles. Demersal emergence net sampling (twice - June and July 91) examined the time structure of emergence of cumaceans into the plankton.

Young, Kathryn. "Identification and Estimation of Sensitive Life History Parameters for Cetaceans in Response to Acoustic Disturbances with Implications for Conservation." NSUWorks, 2008. http://nsuworks.nova.edu/occ_stuetd/238.

Full text
Abstract:
Meta-analyses of published cetacean life history data and original modeling efforts have been conducted to determine which vital rates are most important in determining the growth and sustainability of both odontocete and mysticete populations. In particular, the role of anthropogenic sound in the ocean was examined in relation to cetacean population trends, with specific implications for life functions, vital rates, and population sustainability. Elasticity and sensitivity analyses of Leslie matrices suggested that most cetacean populations appear to be most sensitive to changes in the adult female survival rate, and least sensitive to calf survival. A secondary factor to which whale populations are sensitive is a change in juvenile survival or growth. With the exception of the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis), most cetaceans are not sensitive to changes in fecundity at any age stage. Of particular concern for depleted cetacean species, adult females may be sensitive to changes in foraging success which limit their ability to acquire sufficient body fat to reproduce and raise calves successfully. These results are similar to those for other species with similar life histories, such as terrestrial vertebrates and non-mammalian marine predators. The resulting model outputs have direct implications for the management of marine mammals, particularly in regions where acoustic disturbances are likely in the future or are currently prevalent. Additionally, information gained from these modeling exercises may aid in the transition of the Population Consequences of Acoustic Disturbances (PCAD) model from qualitative to quantitative, as well as provide useful values for the parameterization of population viability analyses (PVAs) in cetacean management. The implications of these model findings to cetacean conservation are many, and include: 1) Increases in anthropogenic noise in the marine environment which have the capacity to limit adult female survival should be avoided at all costs, 2) Due to the inexact nature of cetacean population modeling, changes in vital rates may induce undetectable or unpredictable changes in population growth rate, so use of the precautionary principle is strongly advised in management decisions, 3) There are likely thresholds within which population vital rates can change without a resulting change in the growth rate, but these are not indicated by traditional sensitivity and elasticity analyses. Future studies are needed focusing on the likely intricate relationships between anthropogenic ocean noise and both adult female and juvenile cetacean survival. Additionally, improvements in cetacean modeling resulting in more precise and robust population and vital rate estimates would prove invaluable to the conservation of these species.

Keith, Anna. "Molecular Responses to Catastrophic Molting in a Wild Marine Mammal." Scholarly Commons, 2021. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/3745.

Full text
Abstract:
While most mammals shed their hair and skin either continuously or seasonally, northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) undergo an annual catastrophic molt, in which they shed their entire fur and underlying skin layer in the span of just three weeks. Due to the energetic and thermoregulatory constraints of molting and the large distances between their coastal rookeries and foraging grounds, elephant seals must remain on land and fast for the duration of their molt. Previous studies of molting northern elephant seals have examined endocrine and metabolic adjustments to fasting, but not the molecular processes underlying molting. We examined changes in the skin and underlying blubber tissues using histological, endocrine, and proteomic analyses during molting to provide a more in-depth understanding of the cellular mechanisms enabling rapid skin shedding and regeneration in this marine mammal. Shotgun proteome sequencing by LC-MS/MS identified 47,671 peptides and 573 protein groups in skin and outer blubber that were associated with lipid metabolism, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, and collagen regulation. Label-free quantification and differential protein expression analyses identified 23 and 21 proteins that were differentially expressed during molting in the skin and outer blubber, respectively. Proteins downregulated over molting included those associated with inflammation, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation, whereas proteins upregulated over molting included those associated with cytoskeletal remodeling, collagen synthesis, and lipid metabolism. This suggests that rapid skin regeneration involves intensive protein synthesis and increased vascularization that may be supported by fatty acid substrates from underlying blubber tissue. These data provide insights into cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern unusually rapid skin regeneration in mammals, which may further understanding of disorders affecting the skin and hair of humans and other mammals.

Abstract:
AbstractKelp forests are major marine ecosystems and key sources of biodiversity comparable to tropical forests, as pointed out by Darwin on the Beagle in 1834: “Yet if in any country a forest was destroyed, I do not believe nearly so many species of animals would perish as would here, from the destruction of the kelp”. Despite the key roles supporting marine life, our understanding of their biology lags far behind that of land plants. Kelp mitigates the effects of climate change, sequesters CO2, reduces eutrophication while providing biomass for food, feed, and materials. Genome editing together with functional genomics can map genetic diversity potentials for temperature tolerance, important since they already face the upper tolerance limits in some regions. This chapter considers the major genome editing prerequisites; the transformation methods for introducing DNA/RNA and annotated genomes for predicting results. Risk assessments are discussed. These uses of genome editing show how widely applicable the techniques can be used from basic science to securing the global environment for our existence.

Abstract:
Bio-logging devices are systems mounted to an animal that measure parameters associated with the animal or its environment. These devices date back to the 1930’s in their simplest form, while modern devices use suites of digital sensors, microcontrollers, and wireless data communication. Despite these advances, there has always been a fundamental relationship between power consumption and the amount of science that can be conducted. There are now a number of commercially available devices that use solar cells to supplement their daily energy budget, but supplemental solar power is not useful for species that are nocturnal, subterranean, aquatic, or spend significant time beneath dense forest canopies. As such, there have been calls from the marine biology community for devices that could harvest power from their environments. For these marine species, alternative energy harvesting techniques are required. Here we explore a new application for energy harvesting as a power source for marine wildlife bio-logging tags. Marine animals cover wide swaths of the ocean, making tracking and data collection challenging. Tagging these animals with devices that track their location and/or collect data about the animal or its surroundings require large batteries and have limited life spans due to high power requirements for satellite data relays. With limited solar irradiance at depth making solar power less attractive, we review and explore other forms of energy that could be harvested, such as energy from fluid flow and hydrostatic pressure cycles. We investigate the energy potential from a number of sources and compare these values with the requirements of current bio-logging systems to assess required transduction efficiencies. The application of energy harvesting on animal tags could result in nearly indefinite life systems allowing for data collection from a single animal over the course of many years.

Abstract:
SHORT PAPER. “Under the Bay” is an augmented reality project where anyone can use their cell phone like a microscope and reveal invisibilities in our world and marine life. When they do a series of animated stories between humans and non-humans emerge. Images, sounds, and stories are affected by live data streamed in from sensors located in the largest estuary in North America. Sensors in the Chesapeake Bay relay live pH, oxygen, temperature, etc. (figure 9). Similar to the water itself, color, speed, audio fluctuate with the water and marine life, making “Under the Bay” a data-driven narrative with eight scenes that tell a story of a world beneath the marine surface, and the exciting but frail health of estuaries and oceans worldwide. The two projects discussed here, “Under the Bay” (2022) and “What is the Shape of Water?” (2020), are part of Lisa Moren’s series of cross-species artworks aimed at diminishing human-centered exceptionalism. The collaborations began in 2019 when Lisa was the inaugural Artist-in-Resident at the Institute for Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET). There, she met researcher and marine biologist, Dr. Tsvetan Bachvaroff (Tsetso) and the two immediately shared a like-minded vision to develop a project that exemplified phenomenal exceptionalisms in micro-organisms. In this paper we argue that novel strategies in nature emerge when a complexity of matter is intermingled with conditions of differentiation. We explain and identify differentiation in art and architecture, symbiosis in biology, and the “wobble” in physics as core principles for new forms and creative strategies to emerge. The outcome is focused on the unusual and significant diversification of dinoflagellate microbes in the Chesapeake Bay and oceans worldwide. Tsetso directed the live organisms, science and data analysis for the augmented reality project. Stories are written and told by Lisa, who produced and art directed the animation and AR scenes. The sound score is by electronic composer Dan Deacon. Dr. Marc Olano led the software engineering and development with John Boutsikas, for the AR app in IOS and Google Play.

Abstract:
The purpose of this publication is to summarize the state of knowledge on the effects of environmental variability and climate change for individual species and stocks based on literature review, giving species-climate information for 32 key taxa in Swedish marine and coastal waters. The report is written in English. The extent and scale of recent changes in climate due to global warming is unprecedented and causes increasing effects on ecosystems. In oceans, ongoing warming leads to, for example, increased water temperatures, decreased ice cover and effects on hydrology and water circulation patterns that can in turn influence salinity. The environmental alterations affect species distribution, biology, and hence also the delivery of marine ecosystem services and human well-being. The results of this review on the effects of environmental variability and climate change on marine taxa are presented as species-climate information sheets designed in a user-friendly format aimed to enhance accessibility for professionals spanning different fields and roles, including e.g. scientific experts, NGOs affiliates and managers. The species-climate information sheets presented here cover 32 key taxa selected among the economically and ecologically most important coastal and marine fish and crustacean species in Swedish waters. The species-wise evaluations show that climate change leads to a wide range of effects on fish, reflecting variations in their biology and physiological tolerances. The review also highlights important data and knowledge gaps for each species and life stage. Despite the high variability and prevailing uncertainties, some general patterns appeared. On a general level, most fish species in Swedish marine and coastal waters are not expected to benefit from climate change, and many risks are identified to their potential for recruitment, growth and development. Boreal, marine and cold-adapted species would be disadvantaged at Swedish latitudes. However, fish of freshwater origin adapted to warmer temperature regimes could benefit to some extent in the Baltic Sea under a warming climate. Freshwater fish could also be benefitted under further decreasing salinity in the surface water in the Baltic Sea. The resulting effects on species will not only depend on the physiological responses, but also on how the feeding conditions for fish, prey availability, the quality of essential fish habitats and many other factors will develop. A wide range of ecological factors decisive for the development of fish communities are also affected by climate change but have not been explored here, where we focused on the direct effects of warming. The sensitivity and resilience of the fish species to climate change will also depend on their present and future health and biological status. Populations exposed to prolonged and intense fishing exploitation, or affected by environmental deterioration will most likely have a lower capacity to cope with climate change effects over time. For both the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, it is important to ensure continued work to update and improve the species-climate information sheets as results from new research become available. It can also be expected that new important and relevant biological information and improved climate scenarios will emerge continuously. Continued work is therefore important to update and refine the species-climate information sheets, help filling in currently identified knowledge gaps, and extend to other species not included here. Moreover, there is need to integrate this type of species-level information into analyses of the effects of climate change at the level of communities and ecosystems to support timely mitigation and adaptation responses to the challenges of the climate change.

Wagner, Daniel. The Ocean Exploration Trust 2023 Field Season. Ocean Exploration Trust, April 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.62878/vud148.

Full text
Abstract:
This annual report marks the fifteenth year anniversary of Ocean Exploration Trust’s (OET) E/V Nautilus exploring poorly known parts of our global ocean in search of new discoveries. Since its first season in 2009, E/V Nautilus has conducted a total of 158 expeditions that explored our ocean throughout the Black Sea, Mediterranean, Atlantic, Caribbean, and Pacific for a total of 1,970 days at sea (~5.5 years). These scientific expeditions included a total of 1,017 successful ROV dives, as well as mapped over 1,053,000 km2 of seafloor. The results of these exploratory expeditions have been summarized in over 300 peer-reviewed scientific publications covering a wide range of scientific disciplines, including marine geology, biology, archaeology, chemistry, technology development, and the social sciences. Throughout its 15-year history, E/V Nautilus has been not only a platform for ocean exploration and discovery, but also an inclusive workspace that has provided pathways for more people, especially those early in their careers, to experience and enter ocean exploration professions. It has also catalyzed numerous technological innovations, multi-disciplinary collaborations, and inspired millions through OET’s extensive outreach initiatives. The 2023 field season was no exception, with E/V Nautilus undertaking 12 multi-disciplinary expeditions that explored some of the most remote and poorly surveyed areas in the Pacific, all of which included numerous activities to share expedition stories with diverse audiences across the globe.

Saillant, Eric, Jason Lemus, and James Franks. Culture of Lobotes surinamensis (Tripletail). Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, January 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.18785/ose.001.

Full text
Abstract:
The Tripletail, Lobotes surinamensis, is a pelagic fish found in tropical and sub-tropical waters of all oceans. Tripletails are often associated with floating debris and make frequent incursions in bays and estuaries where they are targeted by recreational fishermen. In Mississippi waters the species is typically present during the late spring and summer season that also correspond to the period of sexual maturation and spawning (Brown-Peterson and Franks 2001). Tripletail is appreciated as a gamefish but is also prized for its flesh of superior quality. The fast growth rate of juveniles in captivity documented by Franks et al. (2001) and the excellent quality of Tripletail flesh both contribute to the potential of this species for marine aquaculture. In addition, the production of cultured juveniles would be precious to develop a better understanding of the biology, early life history and habitat use of Tripletail larvae and juveniles, a topic largely undocumented to date, through experimental releases and controlled studies. The culture of tripletail thus supports the Tidelands Trust Fund Program through improved conservation of natural resources, potential enhancement of fisheries productivity and potential development of a new economic activity on the Gulf coast producing tripletail via aquaculture. The Objective of this project was to initiate development of methods and techniques needed to spawn captive held tripletail broodfish and raise their offspring to evaluate their growth and development in captivity. In this report we will present the results of studies aiming to develop methods and protocols for captive spawning of tripletail and the first data obtained on the early development of tripletail larvae. A major issue that was encountered with tripletail broodstock development during the project lied in the difficulties associated with identifying the sex of adults caught in the wild and candidates for being incorporated in mating sets for spawning. This issue was addressed during the course of the project by examining the potential of a non-lethal method of hormonal sexing. The results of these preliminary investigations are presented in the third part of this report. All protocols used in the project were determined with the guidance of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of the University of Southern Mississippi (USM IACUC protocol number 10100108).

Abstract:
The American Academy of Microbiology convened a colloquium September 5–7, 2003, in Charleston, South Carolina to discuss the central importance of microbes to life on earth, directions microbiology research will take in the 21st century, and ways to foster public literacy in this important field. Discussions centered on: the impact of microbes on the health of the planet and its inhabitants; the fundamental significance of microbiology to the study of all life forms; research challenges faced by microbiologists and the barriers to meeting those challenges; the need to integrate microbiology into school and university curricula; and public microbial literacy. This is an exciting time for microbiology. We are becoming increasingly aware that microbes are the basis of the biosphere. They are the ancestors of all living things and the support system for all other forms of life. Paradoxically, certain microbes pose a threat to human health and to the health of plants and animals. As the foundation of the biosphere and major determinants of human health, microbes claim a primary, fundamental role in life on earth. Hence, the study of microbes is pivotal to the study of all living things, and microbiology is essential for the study and understanding of all life on this planet. Microbiology research is changing rapidly. The field has been impacted by events that shape public perceptions of microbes, such as the emergence of globally significant diseases, threats of bioterrorism, increasing failure of formerly effective antibiotics and therapies to treat microbial diseases, and events that contaminate food on a large scale. Microbial research is taking advantage of the technological advancements that have opened new fields of inquiry, particularly in genomics. Basic areas of biological complexity, such as infectious diseases and the engineering of designer microbes for the benefit of society, are especially ripe areas for significant advancement. Overall, emphasis has increased in recent years on the evolution and ecology of microorganisms. Studies are focusing on the linkages between microbes and their phylogenetic origins and between microbes and their habitats. Increasingly, researchers are striving to join together the results of their work, moving to an integration of biological phenomena at all levels. While many areas of the microbiological sciences are ripe for exploration, microbiology must overcome a number of technological hurdles before it can fully accomplish its potential. We are at a unique time when the confluence of technological advances and the explosion of knowledge of microbial diversity will enable significant advances in microbiology, and in biology in general, over the next decade. To make the best progress, microbiology must reach across traditional departmental boundaries and integrate the expertise of scientists in other disciplines. Microbiologists are becoming increasingly aware of the need to harness the vast computing power available and apply it to better advantage in research. Current methods for curating research materials and data should be rethought and revamped. Finally, new facilities should be developed to house powerful research equipment and make it available, on a regional basis, to scientists who might otherwise lack access to the expensive tools of modern biology. It is not enough to accomplish cutting-edge research. We must also educate the children and college students of today, as they will be the researchers of tomorrow. Since microbiology provides exceptional teaching tools and is of pivotal importance to understanding biology, science education in schools should be refocused to include microbiology lessons and lab exercises. At the undergraduate level, a thorough knowledge of microbiology should be made a part of the core curriculum for life science majors. Since issues that deal with microbes have a direct bearing on the human condition, it is critical that the public-at-large become better grounded in the basics of microbiology. Public literacy campaigns must identify the issues to be conveyed and the best avenues for communicating those messages. Decision-makers at federal, state, local, and community levels should be made more aware of the ways that microbiology impacts human life and the ways school curricula could be improved to include valuable lessons in microbial science.
