A synthesis of genetic connectivity in deep-sea fauna and implications for marine reserve design.
With anthropogenic impacts rapidly advancing into deeper waters, there is growing interest in establishing deep-sea marine protected areas (MPAs) or reserves. Reserve design depends on estimates of connectivity and scales of dispersal for the taxa of interest. Deep-sea taxa are hypothesized to disperse greater distances than shallow-water taxa, which implies that reserves would need to be large...
متن کاملSignificance and applications of sea cucumber
Sea cucumber is an important component of the food chain in temperate ecosystems and coral reefs and plays an important role as a poultry eater and has antiviral, anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties in addition to oral administration and in the pharmaceutical industry. It has many uses. This creature swallows sediment on the bottom of aquaculture ponds and is in fact considered as a natural p...
متن کاملLarge-scale, multidirectional larval connectivity among coral reef fish populations in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Larval dispersal is the key process by which populations of most marine fishes and invertebrates are connected and replenished. Advances in larval tagging and genetics have enhanced our capacity to track larval dispersal, assess scales of population connectivity, and quantify larval exchange among no-take marine reserves and fished areas. Recent studies have found that reserves can be a signifi...
متن کاملAlongshore advection and marine reserves: consequences for modeling and management
The appropriate configuration of marine reserves for maximizing harvests or ensuring species persistence when there is uncertainty or variability in larval dispersal patterns is not completely understood. This is particularly true in environments with large alongshore advection rates, as the success of a system of marine reserves depends on connectivity through larval and/or adult dispersal bet...
متن کاملDetecting larval export from marine reserves.
Marine reserve theory suggests that where large, productive populations are protected within no-take marine reserves, fished areas outside reserves will benefit through the spillover of larvae produced in the reserves. However, empirical evidence for larval export has been sparse. Here we use a simple idealized coastline model to estimate the expected magnitude and spatial scale of larval expor...
