Worldwide bivalve aquaculture is expanding rapidly. Simultaneously, there has been a loss of natural reefs due to anthropogenic activities. As support several ecosystem functions disproportionate the area they cover, interest in their restoration. The Firth Thames (FoT) northern New Zealand once supported dense populations green lipped mussels Perna canaliculus , which were extirpated by dredge fishery mid-20 th century. Efforts restore these biogenic habitats are underway. largest standing...

Abstract The New Zealand green-lipped mussel aquaculture industry is largely dependent on the supply of young mussels that wash up Ninety Mile Beach (so-called Kaitaia spat), which are collected and trucked to farms. locations source populations spat unknown this lack knowledge represents a major problem because may be irregular. We combined genotypic (microsatellite) phenotypic (shell geochemistry) data in geospatial framework determine if new approach can help identify from two...
In lizards, chemical senses play important roles in ecology and behavior. Previous studies have shown that food discrimination, phylogeny, foraging modes are associated squamates. The two major clades, Iguania Scleroglossa, display marked differences A large majority of iguanians primarily ambush foragers lack prey whereas scleroglossans, mainly active foragers, capable discrimination. However, evidence for discrimination tuatara (Sphenodon), the only living representative order...
Abstract The trace elemental composition of biogenic calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) structures is thought to reflect environmental conditions at their time formation. As CaCO such as shell are deposited incrementally, sequential analysis these allows reconstructions animal movements. However, variation driven by genetics or ontogeny may interact with the environment influence composition. This study examined how genetics, ontogeny, and bivalve Perna canaliculus . We cultured genetically...
The emergence of high resolution population genetic techniques, such as genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), in combination with recent advances particle modelling larval dispersal marine organisms, can deliver powerful new insights to support fisheries conservation and management. In this study, we used investigate the connectivity a commercial deep sea lobster species, New Zealand scampi, Metanephrops challengeri, which ranges across vast area seafloor around Zealand. This species has limited...
Abstract We sought to determine how p CO 2 will affect the incorporation of trace elements into bivalve shell. This was validate that under high conditions reconstruction animal movements is still viable; and investigate potential element proxies for ocean carbonate chemistry. Here, we examined shell Perna canaliculus formed current ( CO2 = 400 μatm) those predicted exist in 2100 1050 μatm). Seventeen element:calcium ratios were at two locations within shells. Elements are typically most...
ABSTRACT: A prerequisite to effectively managing fish populations is understand what factors and processes, including predation changing environments, affect the survival of individuals. In anadromous fishes, transition from freshwater marine habitats considered a critical period regulating population abundance due high variable mortality rates. During this period, conditions experienced in may influence size- growth-selective ocean. To determine if or occurred juvenile Interior Columbia...
