The importance of flow and settlement cues to larvae of the abalone, Haliotis rufescens Swainson.

چکیده
In flow tank experiments, I tested the relative importance of active and passive processes to larvae settling on manufactured casts that were hydrodynamically rough at a small scale (mm to <1 cm). I predefined two distinct regions of small-scale flow that I used to manipulate larval settlement behaviour of the red abalone Haliotis rufescens Swainson. The larvae show a stringent settlement response associated with coralline red algae. Haliotis rufescens larvae settled preferentially to an inducer regardless of the flow conditions, as expected. However, the ability of H. rufescens larvae to show this stringent behaviour was altered by changing the small-scale flow. When the free-stream velocity was low, the larvae responded to a settlement cue regardless of the small-scale hydrodynamics. When free-stream velocity was higher, the larvae acted increasingly as passive particles in their deposition, but settled only in response to an inducer. The results were consistent in two flow tanks, across 2 years and between different batches of larvae.

Studies were conducted to determine a disease outbreak in 14 day old post-larvae of abalone (Haliotis diversicolor supertexta) which caused mass mortality in July 2010 in Shanwei, China. Twenty-nine bacterial strains were isolated from a sample pool of 10 diseased post-larval abalones on 2216E marine agar plates during a natural outbreak of the disease. Among them, a dominant isolate (referred ...

A growing body of research on calcifying marine invertebrates suggests that ocean acidification will have deleterious effects on development and various physiological processes in these organisms. In laboratory experiments designed to mimic seawater chemistry in future oceans, we examined the effect of pH reduction, driven by the carbon dioxide (CO2) acidification of seawater, on larvae of the ...
