Within the Fiordland (Te Moana o Atawhenua) Marine Area (FMA) in south-western Aotearoa/New Zealand, two of the four recognised bottlenose dolphin (<i>Tursiops truncatus</i>) subpopulations are considered resident to discrete fiord systems. Opportunistic sightings outside the Patea/Doubtful and Tamatea/Dusky Sound complexes, however, indicate these subpopulations occupy a larger space than is currently recognised. To investigate bottlenose dolphin use of remote spaces in the FMA, passive acoustic monitoring equipment was deployed in six of the southern fiords. Acoustic data were collected between February 2022 and November 2023 using two types of devices: F-PODs to detect click trains of odontocetes and SoundTraps to collect recordings to explore a variety of call types. We used automated classifiers/detectors and manual browsing to detect various vocalisation types. To better understand dolphin occupancy at each acoustic monitoring site, we constructed a hierarchical Bayesian model to estimate detection probabilities of the different data collection and signal detection approaches. Photo-identification was used to identify individual dolphins in remote areas, and differences in detection between visual and acoustic methods were explored. This study demonstrates that dolphins, including two resident subpopulations of Fiordland bottlenose dolphins, regularly use fiords that are not currently considered part of their habitat range and may often use spaces outside the FMA. This increased understanding of the spatial ecology of Fiordland bottlenose dolphins underscores the need for a re-evaluation of their habitat and potential threats throughout this region.</p>","PeriodicalId":55493,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aqc.70084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143622478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Water quality is an important environmental variable to turtles, and many species have limited tolerances to different abiotic parameters. Despite the potential for extreme effects of water quality variables on turtle physiology and behaviour, we still do not understand the extent to which many species identify and select different water quality parameters within their habitats. The eastern long-necked turtle (<i>Chelodina longicollis</i>) resides in both natural and highly degraded systems throughout south-eastern Australia. However, their ability to perceive the quality of these environments and whether they select a habitat based on specific water quality attributes is unknown. Our objective was to identify the preferences of eastern long-necked turtles to different water quality parameters. We quantified the time spent in varying concentrations of five abiotic variables: dissolved oxygen, fertiliser, pH, salinity, and turbidity. Testing arenas consisted of four tubs, each with a different concentration of a selected water quality variable, and turtles were allowed to choose in which concentration they spent their time. This was replicated for each of the five variables, using a sample size of 10 turtles. Eastern long-necked turtles strongly preferred the freshwater control treatment over treatments with high salinity. They did not show strong preferences towards treatments with different dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and fertiliser or pH. We show that although <i>C. longicollis</i> occupies a variety of natural and man-made water bodies, they do prefer specific salt concentrations, which may influence their subsequent habitat selection within their range. Our trial model may also reveal stronger habitat preferences of more sensitive turtle species, which may be increasingly vulnerable to changes in their natural habitats.</p>","PeriodicalId":55493,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aqc.70097","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the Torín sector of Isla Aguja, there is an important reef formation of <i>Acropora palmata</i> influenced by river discharges with possible impacts on their condition. To evaluate whether signs of the disease were reducing the population, in 2019, the formation was delimited, and monthly surveys were performed in 65 tagged colonies to calculate the incidence and prevalence of white pox in the population. Samples of water, sediment, healthy mucus and disease mucus were collected to isolate bacterial members and characterize them through amplifications of the V1–V3 hypervariable region of the 16S gene. Because of pandemic restrictions, monitoring was restarted in September 2020 and ended in December 2021, recording only the appearance of signs of disease. Nineteen bacterial strains were isolated. <i>Enterobacter cloacae</i> was found in water and disease mucus, <i>Klebsiella variicola</i> was found in healthy mucus and disease mucus, <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> was found in water and healthy mucus, and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> was common in sediment and healthy mucus. <i>Escherichia coli</i> was found only in water.

In contrast, the gillnets registered on four occasions between 2019 and 2021 caused the breakage of large colonies that impacted the population.

It makes them a key element for conservation measures in marine environments. Among several stressors, climate changes put pressure on species in different ways (direct and indirect) and intensities. Understanding how changes may affect shark species is essential to evaluate measures that reduce the impact on shark populations and help them to adapt to a future climatic scenario. The aim was to identify the levels of vulnerability for Northern and Northeastern Brazil sharks to climate change based on a semiquantitative method of ecological risk assessment. Temperature and UV light were, respectively, the most concerning direct and indirect effects for sharks. In general, most of the assessed species have moderate chances of surviving the pressure caused by climate change. <i>Carcharhinus porosus</i>, <i>Mustelus higmani</i> and <i>Isogomphodon oxyrhyncus</i> were the most vulnerable assessed species. Coastal and estuarine sharks had high rates of exposure and high vulnerability indexes to climate change. Coastal and inshore species generally has high habitat specificity and latitudinal limitation, which worsens its ability to adapt to the new climate scenario. Both parameters may be a crucial factor in preserving coastal shark populations. Continental shelf habitats are commonly affected by other human stressors, such as fishing, waste contamination and destruction of tidal vegetation. In this way, region-specific conservation measures can reduce bycatch and increase reproductive efficiency, increasing the likelihood of coastal sharks surviving climate change. There is still little knowledge about the synergistic effect between human pressure and climate change. However, it is necessary to take measures to preserve the coastal and estuarine environments, so that the biota of these areas show favourable conditions for survival.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55493,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated dolphin behavioural dynamics through unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and acoustic recordings in two zones off Alvarado, Veracruz, Mexico, with high (HVP) and low-vessel presence (LVP). Within the HVP zone (at the mouth of a lagoon) known for its greater abundance of prey, dolphins focused their behavioural budget on feeding (mostly individually), with higher emission rates for echolocation trains. Conversely, at the LVP zone (located northwest and southeast of the lagoon mouth), groups were larger and their behavioural repertoire was more varied (dolphins travelled, fed, socialized and rested equally), emitting not only high emission rates for echolocation trains but also for whistles. Our findings suggest that dolphins have developed a zoning strategy through a compensatory mechanism that allows tolerance to a certain level of fishing activities and marine traffic, especially within their feeding areas, by reducing group size to individual interactions, while prioritizing certain surface and acoustic behaviour when in the presence of vessels. By using this trade-off strategy, dolphins may remain at the site and continue taking advantage of the resources, at the expense of potential long-term effects, which remain to be investigated.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55493,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143554937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enhance fisheries resources of this catadromous fish, eel stocking programs are conducted annually in many rivers across Japan. These programs involve capturing naturally recruited glass eels at river mouths, farming them in artificial ponds and releasing them into rivers. However, the impact of these stocking efforts on eel populations remains unclear. Recently, environmental DNA (eDNA) has emerged as an effective tool for assessing the biomass of target species in aquatic environments. This study aims to evaluate the spatiotemporal changes in Japanese eel population over 3 years and the effect of stocking using species-specific eDNA marker in the Shigenobu River system in western Japan, where numerous sediment-control dams and weirs are present, and eel stocking is conducted both upstream and downstream of these barriers. Our results show that eDNA concentration was significantly correlated with both the density and biomass of captured eels, confirming the effectiveness of eDNA assays for eel stock assessment. eDNA concentrations, as well as captured density and biomass, were higher downstream than upstream. After stocking, eDNA concentrations increased and remained elevated at upstream stocking sites where natural recruitment was blocked by sediment-control dams. Seasonal variation in eDNA concentrations was most pronounced downstream, where natural recruitment occurs. These findings suggest that stocking enhances eel populations in areas where natural recruitment is restricted, but the effect is modest compared to natural recruitment. Therefore, ecosystem-based habitat management, including habitat restoration and connectivity, should be prioritized for eel conservation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55493,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143554451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This led to heterozygote excess in juvenile samples and a significant genetic differentiation between (i) juvenile and wild samples and (ii) juvenile and broodstock samples, in both species. Broodstock individuals used in this study were fished in the wild, which was proven here not be sufficient for maintaining the level of genetic diversity found in natural populations.
