Despite their ecological significance, gaps persist regarding our understanding of their trophic ecology. Specifically, it is unknown whether Symbiodiniaceae-derived photosynthates are metabolized differently according to species and organ. Therefore, we maintained <i>Tridacna derasa</i> and <i>T. noae</i> for 3 months in a well-lit recirculated system without food supply. Samples were taken from eight organs and underwent lipid extraction and fatty acid esterification before analysis of three symbiont-derived fatty acids (stearidonic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid—SDA, DPA, and DHA, respectively) using gas chromatography. Results show considerable variation in fatty acids concentration among species and organs. SDA was found in higher concentrations in <i>T. noae</i>, especially in the adductor muscle. DPA was detected in low concentrations across <i>T. noae</i> organs and absent for <i>T. derasa</i>. DHA did not vary significantly among species and organs. Our findings indicate that Symbiodiniaceae supply clams with fatty acids, which are stored differentially according to species and organs. This demonstrates that these compounds are translocated to multiple organs throughout the complex giant clam anatomical system, in contrast to simpler hosts like corals. These results advance our understanding of the physiological dynamics of the mollusk-algae association.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49883,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology-An Evolutionary Perspective","volume":"45 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142540805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Without mitigation measures, the total loss of tropical corals is inevitable. Already, one-third of tropical reefs are considered permanently lost. Coral bleaching initiated by the loss of symbionts, the photosynthetic zooxanthellae, is the main process whereby corals respond to thermal stress, followed by recovery. However, increased thermal stress and frequency of bleaching have caused widespread coral recovery failure. Zooxantheallae of the genus <i>Symbiodinium</i> are considered the thermally vulnerable part of the coral symbiosis. In recent decades, warming has displaced genotypes of lower thermal resilience to subtropical latitudes; few genotypes of higher temperature tolerance remain abundant in tropical seas, but these will not withstand warming predictions either. Interestingly, high temperatures in the Red Sea have selected for exceptionally heat-resistant coral genotypes and for the highest known thermal resilience in endemic zooxanthellae at the same time. Actions to overcome the coral bleaching crisis have been proposed by combining coral ecophysiology and mass culturing of thermally resilient Red Sea symbionts for naturalisation to the global tropical ocean, including restoration of collapsed reefs using corals with thermally resilient symbiont genotypes.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49883,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology-An Evolutionary Perspective","volume":"45 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142540806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Small, inexpensive ARs, standard monitoring units for the recruitment of reef fishes (SMURFs), were deployed at eight treatment stations at −20 m as habitat for juvenile fishes to understand and determine the effects of substrate type on the recruitment of juvenile fishes. Each treatment station contained four SMURFs with four treatments: small and large concrete rubble (~10 and ~20 cm), oyster shells, and bare. Surveys conducted from July 2017 to July 2019 yielded 39 different juvenile species, including one of the most economically important species, <i>Lutjanus campechanus</i>, present across all replicates. There were 5238 individual fishes collected, and the family Lutjanidae accounted for ~49% of these. The highest species richness and diversity occurred in SMURFs containing oysters or small concrete rubble while bare treatment had the lowest. Both concrete rubble and oyster shells might offer shelter to numerous body shapes and sizes of juvenile fishes as a result from a variety of crevice sizes. This study suggests that the deployment of low-relief structures with different substrate materials might affect recruitment of select species and provide further information useful to designing ARs, aiding fisheries production. Because enhancing fisheries is one of the goals of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Artificial Reef Program it is here recommended to continue developing other designs of low-relief to be allocated in between existing high-relief ARs that should serve as stepping stones for the survival of species of fisheries interest (e.g., <i>L. campechanus</i>).</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49883,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology-An Evolutionary Perspective","volume":"45 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142541101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
