Abstract The exploited mangrove crab Ucides cordatus, an important ecosystem engineer in South American mangroves, has a biphasic lifecycle with pelagic larvae developing offshore. Megalopae return to the mangrove forest to settle, i.e., metamorphose into benthic juveniles but its environmental drivers remain poorly understood. We postulate that conspecific crabs facilitate recruitment. In the field, we investigated whether the number of recruits is higher near conspecific burrows than in areas without conspecific bioturbation. Recruit sampling was conducted monthly from April 2008 to May 2009 along an environmental gradient. First, U. cordatus recruits of that year emerged from March to July. Intraspecific facilitation was indicated by significantly higher recruit numbers in bioturbated than in non-bioturbated substrates. Recruits were most abundant in zones with intermediate conditions of inundation, leaf litter standing stock, sediment consistency, luminosity, temperature, salinity, and pH. Avoidance of more inundated zones likely reduces predation by fishes and of less inundated zones helps individuals escape more stressful, drier environmental conditions. The observed habitat-specific recruitment pattern must be considered when designing field assessments of the population structure of U. cordatus (which should include sampling recruits) and enhancing stocks by releasing laboratory-cultivated larvae and first juveniles into the wild. mangroves offshore settle ie i e i.e. understood bioturbation 200 gradient First U July nonbioturbated non substrates inundation stock consistency luminosity temperature salinity pH stressful habitatspecific habitat specific which laboratorycultivated laboratory cultivated wild i.e 20 2

Abstract Tsunamis, despite their rarity, are among the deadliest natural disasters, inflicting catastrophic damage on both coastal and inland regions. Given their highly site-specific impact, a comprehensive understanding of tsunami wave flow characteristics is crucial for effective tsunami preparedness and for safeguarding civil engineering structures. This study investigates the formation and progression of tsunami bores as they transition into surges near the shore. We employed a wave-flume experimental approach, with a specific focus on the Malaysian coastline. Experiments took place in a wave flume with a length of 40 m and a platform designed to replicate the gentle slopes commonly found in Malaysian coastal areas vulnerable to tsunamis. The primary focus lied in measuring key flow parameters, including flow depths and velocities near the shore. Wet bed bores were marked by a sudden rise in water depth and considerable air entrainment in the front region. As these waves transformed into dry bed surges, the front slope became gentler, and aeration diminished, while peak velocities increased. Additionally, the study also delves into the relations between flow depth and velocity concerning Froude numbers and momentum flux. The outcomes contribute significantly to global initiatives aimed at improving coastal resilience against tsunamis.

Abstract Understanding the dynamics of sea surface variation and its direct effects on the coastal population has been a central issue of study for oceanography in conjunction with other areas of geosciences. One of the main challenges in a changing global ocean is continuously monitoring on an adequate scale that can detail locally varying phenomena. This study reviews the methods to obtain coastal topo-bathymetric data and the tools available to produce flood maps and coastal sea-level rise monitoring models. The advantages and limitations of the main tools are described, highlighting the difficulties related to implementation time and financial investment in contrast to the quality of the obtained data. A case study of the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex — of great environmental, economic, and tourism importance — is presented as its sea-level fluctuations have been poorly studied. For this reason, we describe the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex, highlighting and discussing the structural and methodological challenges and the lack of resources that limit the possibilities of a detailed study of the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex from the point of view of natural disasters, thus stimulating the debate on the necessary actions to address climate change at the local level. geosciences phenomena topobathymetric topo bathymetric sealevel level models described environmental economic studied reason disasters

Abstract Of the 20,000 species of Annelida, most live in salt water, and the minority inhabits freshwater or terrestrial environments. Among the freshwater representatives, the family Aeolosomatidae draws attention mainly due to its enigmatic phylogenetic position. In the 1940s, Prof. Ernst Marcus was a pioneer in the study of Aeolosomatidae, mainly from collections in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. His research resulted in the description of eight species, four of which were new to science. Later, Marcus’ description of Aeolosoma headleyi was recognized as a fifth new species by Van der Land ( 1971 ) and named Aeolosoma marcusi in his honor. Recently, during a visit to the Museum of Zoology of the University of São Paulo (MZUSP), we found the original material deposited by Marcus ( 1944 ), but not formally registered. Thus, the aim of this work was to redescribe and designate the lectotypes and paralectotypes of Aeolosoma gertae Marcus, 1944 and Aeolosoma sawayai Marcus, 1944. We were able to study and photograph the specimens using a light microscope with Differential Interference Contrast (DIC). We were also able to identify and redescribe many important taxonomic features. However, some structures can only be observed in living individuals (as they are not preserved in the fixed material), which reinforces the need to study live specimens. This paper contributes to understand the diversity of Aeolosoma , provides new morphological knowledge and lays the foundation for new approaches to the study of aeolosomatids. 20000 20 000 20,00 Annelida water environments representatives position 1940s s Prof Brazil science Later 197 honor Recently MZUSP, MZUSP (MZUSP) 194 registered Thus DIC.

Abstract A 117-year series of hourly-observed heights in the Río de la Plata estuary allows studying the recorded changes in positive storm surge (PSS) events spanning from 1905 to 2021, and calculate the annual mean river level (AMRL) trend. The analysis of PSS focuses on the trend of the annual number of events, the annual mean events duration, and the annual maximum PSS height. Seasonal analyses of these variables can also be conducted. This study aimed to ascertain any correlation between the rising AMRL and the evolution of PSS. Since AMRL increase is related to the effects of global warming, the observation series is divided into two periods based on the behavior of the curve of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. One period covers 1905 to 1962 and is characterized by a less pronounced curve slope, while the other period, 1965 to 2021, exhibits a drastically steeper curve slope. Moreover, two sets of data were obtained to calculate the PSS in two different scenarios for both periods: a hypothetical one, with no trend in AMRL, and a realistic one, maintaining the observed AMRL trend. The results show the acceleration trend of two of the analyzed variables, namely the annual number of events and the average duration of events, when transitioning from one period to the other (following the behavior observed in AMRL). However, the increase in AMRL could not be the only explanation of these accelerations. On the one hand, although the accelerations decrease when the hypothetical scenario is considered, they do not totally disappear. Moreover, the annual average duration of the events increases follows the realistic scenario when removing AMRL trend. On the other hand, the maximum height of PSS shows no trend in either period and remains unaffected comparing the two scenarios. 117year year 117 hourlyobserved hourly (PSS 190 2021 (AMRL conducted warming atmosphere 196 slope Moreover following AMRL. .

Abstract The introduction of species beyond their natural distribution area as a result of human activities is one of the main threats to marine biodiversity. In 2019, Perna viridis , an Indo-Pacific mytilid, was recorded for the first time in the coast of Brazil in Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro State). In 2021, this species was recorded in the Northeast region of Brazil (Fortaleza, Ceará State). This record was subsequently replicated in studies from 2022, 2023, and 2024. The specimens from Ceará State were deposited in the malacological collection “Prof. Henry Ramos Matthews - Série B” of the Universidade Federal do Ceará. During a curation activity of this collection, these specimens were reanalyzed and their identification questioned. Therefore, this study aimed to confirm the record of P. viridis for the Northeast region of Brazil. According to the analyses, the individuals collected on the coast of Ceará are not P. viridis , but belong to Mytella strigata , a native species of the coast of South America. Thus, the occurrence of P. viridis in the Southwestern Atlantic remains restricted to the southeast region of Brazil. biodiversity 2019 IndoPacific Indo Pacific mytilid Rio State. .

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the applicability and reliability of the ABC method as an indicator of the level of organic pollution in non-vegetated tidal flats in a subtropical estuary in southern Brazil. Following a hierarchical sampling design, the method was applied in two contaminated and two non-contaminated tidal flats near Paranaguá. It was conducted in three consecutive fortnights of a summer and a winter, aiming to analyze correlations between faunal responses and chemical indicators of contamination and spatio-temporal variability. Tidal flats closer to the city were classified as grossly contaminated. However, the responses on the non-contaminated area were highly heterogeneous, indicating that natural inputs of organic matter were confounded with pollution effects. In the AIC analysis applied to the W-statistics of the ABC curves, the best model showed correlations with some of the fecal steroids and total organic carbon. Contrary to expected, the ABC curves significantly varied at the smaller spatio-temporal scales due to the high local hydrodynamics and natural organic inputs. This suggests that the ABC method is indeed sensible to the contamination levels and can be used as an index of biotic quality. However, the method must be cautiously applied in estuaries subjected to natural organic enrichment. nonvegetated non vegetated Brazil design noncontaminated Paranaguá winter spatiotemporal spatio temporal variability However heterogeneous effects Wstatistics W statistics carbon expected quality enrichment

Abstract The storm risks in coastal regions have drawn attention worldwide in recent decades. Understanding the characteristics and behavior of these events and their potential damage to coasts has become essential for decision-making and coastal management. This study aimed to identify and examine the climatology of coastal storms on the central coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, proposing a classification and a coastal impact evaluation that applies Dolan and Davis’ ( 1992 ) storm index. For this, 34 years of NOAA/NCEP/NCAR hindcast wave database were used (1979 - 2013). Secondarily, this study aimed to compare wave data at two locations (the south-orientated west and the east-northeast-orientated east coasts) to verify the influence of coastal orientation against storm events. This research found 231 storm events on the west coast and 44 on the east coast. While mean durations resembled each other (at around 27 hours), the east coast had a 9% lower mean storm wave height. The storm peak direction from the south predominated on the west coast (52%), whereas a south-southeast direction dominated the east coast (50%). Storm classification showed 3.4 and 9% of storms considered Extreme in the west and east, respectively. Extreme storms include those in September 1983, May 1997, May 2001, and April 2010. Coastal storms on the west and east represented 2.39 and 0.57% of all cyclones identified in the southwestern Atlantic. In shallow waters, the highest amount of energy dissipation occurred on the east coast, which is sheltered from storms from the south-southwest but is exposed to those from the south-southeast. Extreme and Severe events greatly impacted the coast, including beach and dune erosion, overwash, and property damage. However, even coastal storms considered Weak caused considerable coastal damage. decades decisionmaking decision making management Janeiro Davis 199 index 3 NOAANCEPNCAR NOAA NCEP NCAR 1979 (197 2013. 2013 . 2013) Secondarily southorientated orientated eastnortheastorientated northeast 23 4 2 hours, hours , hours) 9 height 52%, 52 52% (52%) southsoutheast southeast 50%. 50 50% (50%) 3. respectively 1983 1997 2001 2010 239 39 2.3 057 0 57 0.57 Atlantic waters southsouthwest southwest southsoutheast. southeast. erosion overwash However 19 197 (19 201 5 (52% (50% 198 200 2. 05 0.5 1 (1 20 (52 (50 0.

Abstract Alitta succinea (Leuckart, 1847) is an errant segmented worm from the Nereididae family (Annelida) and is broadly distributed around the greater Atlantic basin. A. succinea is a resilient mobile omnivore that plays an important role in connecting lower and upper levels of the food web. Like many other nereidids, A. succinea metamorphoses into reproductive swimming forms, called epitokes, before entering the water column to spawn. In Galveston, Texas the species A. succinea is commonly found in fouling communities attached to artificial structures in marinas. This study presents a two-year survey of a population found in the Texas A&M University at Galveston Boat Basin. Over the two-year period, we collected over 2,000 A.succinea individuals for a gross comparison of population dynamics and morphometrics. During the summer, we found high numbers of small individuals, indicating a primary recruitment period. This was further corroborated by the high number of epitokes in the summer compared to the winter and spring. During the summer and fall, the observed epitokes were significantly smaller than those found in the winter and spring, which supports previous research that shows a positive relationship between temperature and developmental rates. The continual presence of epitokes indicates the existence of a recruitment process that occurs continuously throughout the year. In terms of morphometrics, atokes and epitokes, both females and males, had their own unique profiles. As we expected, epitokes have larger eyes and wider posterior segments compared to atokes. Interestingly, we found females to be significantly larger than males, no matter the season. This study presents an updated approach to staging sexually reproductive individuals to help standardize taxonomic descriptions.

ABSTRACT Harmful algal blooms (HABs) can negatively affect coastal water quality, aquatic fauna, and human health from the consumption of toxin-contaminated seafood. Estuaries are especially prone to the incidence of these noxious events and sensitive to the associated damage. This study represents a comprehensive overview of previous investigations reporting the occurrence of harmful algae and/or phycotoxins in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex (CEP), in Southern Brazil. Secondary data from 2002 to 2021 were combined with new results obtained from widely spaced sampling campaigns performed from 2018 to 2019 to assess the periods and estuarine sectors at greater risk for the incidence of HABs. In total, about 600 water/sediment samples containing harmful microalgae and 675 tissue samples of phycotoxin-contaminated fauna were analyzed. The most frequent and abundant species of potentially toxic microalgae were dinoflagellates belonging to the species complexes Dinophysis acuminata and Prorocentrum lima, producers of diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs), and diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia, producers of amnesic shellfish toxins (ASTs). Okadaic acid, a DST, was by far the most common toxin in the fauna, reaching higher levels in primary consumers such as bivalve mollusks (mussels, oysters, and clams), zooplankton, and suspension-feeding crustaceans (ghost shrimps), and moderate to low levels in cephalopods, fishes, gastropods, echinoderms, sea turtles, seabirds, and cetaceans. Less rainy periods (winter-early spring) were associated with the highest incidence of DSTs and blooms of their producing algae P. lima and Dinophysis spp., mainly in the middle region of Paranaguá Bay and on the shallow continental platform adjacent to the estuarine mouth. However, certain HAB-forming species may be more successful in inner estuarine areas ( Prorocentrum cordatum) and during different periods, such as late summer—early fall ( Pseudo-nitzschia spp.). Continuous monitoring of harmful algae and toxins is therefore highly recommended to mitigate the effects of HABs in the entire estuary.

ABSTRACT Namalycastis abiuma has been recorded as a worldwide distributed species, found in most tropical and subtropical mangroves and estuarine environments. However, this status has been questioned in several publications, which indicate that several distinct species are being identified under the name N. abiuma. In this study, we perform a morphological analysis, along with a series of species delimitation tests and a phylogenetic analysis-using the molecular marker 16S-to evaluate whether analyzed populations previously identified as Namalycastis abiuma belong to the same species. We used sequences from the GenBank database in the analysis, as well as six newly sequenced specimens collected from the coast of Brazil, two of them from the N. abiuma type-locality. For species delimitation, we applied the Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC), the Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning (ASAP), and the Multi-rate Poisson Tree Processes (mPTP) tests. Results from GMYC and ASAP suggest that Namalycastis abiuma may be endemic to the type-locality and that all other populations studied represent a second distinct species. However, mPTP indicates that all Namalycastis species included should be grouped into one single species. The mPTP results seem to be biased due to data limitation as it showed poor statistical support. Our morphological data, especially on the shape and dentition of the sub-neuroacicular falciger blades, support the GMYC and ASAP results, suggesting restricted endemism for Namalycastis abiuma. Based on these results, we conclude that N. abiuma is restricted to its type-locality and we provide a description of a new species, Namalycastis lanai sp. nov. occurring in Brazilian waters from 22°S to 27°S, including, at its southern range, an overlap with N. abiuma at Florianópolis.

ABSTRACT This study encompasses the description and evaluation of the length-weight relationship of 104 demersal fish species caught by bottom trawlers targeting shrimps on the southeast continental shelf of Brazil from 2004 to 2006. The regression criteria describing the length-weight relationship for each species were classified as approved (met the criteria), approved with reservations (partially met the criteria), and not approved (did not meet the criteria) based on linear regression parameters to determine whether length is a viable predictor of weight. A total of 141,433 individual fish, comprising 44 families and 104 species, were sampled; the beta parameter (± se) varied from 0.22 ± 0.12 to 3.94 ± 0.19, and the alpha parameter varied from -4.09 ± 0.04 to 0.89 ± 0.02. In total, 22 species were not identified by a recent large survey (2019) conducted in the study area. The results of this study are significant for the management of fishery resources, mainly due to the occurrence of unusual species, the economic importance and enormous effort exerted by the trawling fleet in the region, and the substantial sample size, in which a large number of individuals per species were caught. lengthweight weight 10 200 2006 criteria, , partially did 141433 141 433 141,43 4 sampled ( se 022 0 0.2 012 12 0.1 394 3 94 3.9 019 19 0.19 4.09 409 09 -4.0 004 04 0.0 089 89 0.8 002 02 0.02 2 2019 (2019 area resources region size 1 20 14143 14 43 141,4 0. 01 39 9 3. 4.0 40 -4. 00 08 8 201 (201 1414 141, 4. -4 (20 - (2

ABSTRACT Sewage pollution is an increasing problem for Perna perna mussel farmers in Brazil, and there is an urgent need to adopt post-harvest treatments, such as depuration, to reduce the associated microbiological risks. However, depuration of this species has been discouraged by experiences showing that the animals usually spawn during this procedure, bringing difficulties for water treatment and making them lighter, weakened, and undesirable to be traded as a live product. This study aimed at developing a protocol to prevent mussels from spawning by modulating the water temperature during depuration. For one year (from 2021-07-07 to 2022-06-29), market-size mussels harvested from the Brazilian southern coast were divided into groups of five and immersed during 50 hours in sets of experimental units (15 L acrylic aquariums) that emulated depuration tanks with different water temperatures (ranging from 8°C to 31°C). During this period, the experimental units were inspected nine times to check for spawning/spawned mussels. Analysis of the overall results showed that 21 (95.5%) out of the 22 assays resulted in mussels spawning and that this behavior was mostly recorded (80.3%) within the first 5:30 hours of the assays. The models developed (binary logistic regression) indicate that conditioning the depuration water to temperatures 5°C lower than those registered at the harvest site holds the potential to reduce the chances of spawning by more than 50%, and these chances drop to 8.2% when this difference reaches 10°C. Further studies are needed to show how reducing water temperature during depuration influences its efficiency in terms of pathogen reduction, aiming to define the best protocol to optimize microbial removal and minimize spawning.

ABSTRACT The South Pacific hake, Merluccius gayi, is an ecologically and economically important species in Ecuador. However, studies regarding its feeding habits remain scarce. This study aimed to characterize the food and feeding habits of M. gayi in the Ecuadorian Pacific Ocean by sex, sexual maturity stages, size classes, and years. Hakes obtained (n = 2993) from industrial fishing (captured with seine nets) were analyzed from September 2013 to December 2014. Their diet was composed of 27 prey species. The most important prey was the euphausiid Nyctiphanes simplex (52%) and the same hake species (M. gayi; 31%) according to the prey-specific index of relative importance (%PSIRI), making this species a cannibal predator. Results show no significant dietary differences between female and male hakes or immature and mature males, but found differences between immature and mature females and individuals from four size classes and hake between 2013 and 2014. According to Levin’s Index, the species showed a low trophic niche breadth (Bi = 0.03), making it a selective specialist mesopredator with high specialization. The trophic overlap analysis based on Jaccard’s index by sex was low (J = 0.23) for indetermined individuals, moderate (J = 0.59) for males and females, and high (J = 0.78) for immature females and males; moderate values were noted for size classes (J = 0.42-0.63) and low for years (J = 0.31). Based on the Cortés index, the trophic level totaled (TLk = 3.22), indicating that this species is a primary and secondary carnivore mesopredator. This information supports the understanding of the relations between predators and prey and the flow of nutrients and energy in marine ecosystems, which serve as a base for ecosystemic fishing management.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to identify the squids caught by shrimp trawlers in Sergipe and to describe their populational structure. Four samples were obtained monthly from commercial trawlers based in Pirambu-Sergipe (May/2015-May/2016). Each squid found was separated, identified, weighed individually (wet weight - WW in g) and had its mantle length (ML; cm) and total length (TL, including tentacles; cm) measured. One specimen of Doryteuthis pleii was captured (23.3 cm ML mature male), as well as 152 specimens of Lolliguncula brevis (1.5˗6.7 cm ML). The linear relation between TL and ML of L. brevis was TL=5.1173+2.6190ML (positive allometry) and the power relation between WW and ML was WW=0.1453ML2.5353 (negative allometry). For L. brevis, there were two cohorts in the area during the period analyzed. Studies on the biology of cephalopods are scarce in northeastern Brazil, especially considering that these species are present in the bycatch of shrimp fishing and that the global conservation status of L. brevis is data deficient (DD) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). structure PirambuSergipe Pirambu May/2015May/2016.
