14.495 Crisis Of Coral Metapopulations in Okinawa, Southern Japan Kazuhiko SAKAI* 1 1 Tropical Biosphere Research Center, University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa 905-0227, Japan Coral communities on coral reefs are declining worldwide by global climate change and local degradation of coral reef environment. In Okinawa Prefecture, southern Japan, coral communities have been declining, but the status of the community varied greatly among islands. After the 1998 mass-coral bleaching, percent cover of corals was decreased by 80% around Okinawa I., but the cover remained relatively high at Kerama Is., which is located at 30 km west of Okinawa I. Coral communities are more healthy at Sakishima Is., which are at >300 km southeast of Okinawa I. I obtained the following results from ecological studies that I have been conducting since 1980 in Okinawa I. 1) Recovery of coral communities in Okinawa I. was reduced greatly after the bleaching; 2) For broadcasting spawning corals, Kerama Is. was the source area of larval supply to Okinawa I.; 3) The reduced resilience of coral communities in Okinawa I. was caused by decreased larval supply during two years after the bleaching and low survival rate of juvenile corals that were recruited abundantly in 2001; 4) Settlement of coral larvae in Okinawa I. decreased greatly after Acanthaster outbreak that started in Kerama Is. in 2001; 5) Coral metapopulations are likely to be separated between Okinawa-Kerama and Sakishima regions even for spawning corals whose larvae disperse long distance. The observed great reduction in supply of coral larvae in Okinawa I. may indicate that whole coral communities within the area of larval dispersal (coral communities with in connected reefs) lose the recovery potential rapidly when global climate change and local degradation of coral reef environment progress simultaneously. 14.496 Distribution Of The Hermatypic Corals in Dongshan, Fujian Province, China And The Possible Link To The Tropical Warm Current Kuroshio Jiansheng LIAN* 1 , Hui HUANG 1 , Jianhui YANG 2 , Xiubao LI 1 1 LMB, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, China, People's Republic of, 2 South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou, China, People's Republic of Along mainland China's coast, the northmost marginal distribution of the hermatypic coral community was found in Dongshan, Fujian Province (23.5°N~23.8°N). Dongshan is located in the southern tip of the Taiwan Strait, facing Luzon Strait to the east. It is interesting to observe an unusual phenomenal that there is no hermatypic corals distribution below Dongshan until Daya Bay (22.5°N~22.9°N). The distance between Dongshan and Daya Bay is about 330 km and 1 degree in terms of latitude. We carried out an extensive and systematic survey of the hermatypic coral status in Dongshan using line transect method from 2005 to 2007 to study the distribution range and try to find out why the marginal distribution of the hermatypic coral community can reach to Dongshan. A total of 58 stations were surveyed. Six 10 meters transect lines were completed for each station with two depth contours. Five species of the hermatypic corals was recorded: Favia speciosa, Cyphastrea serailia, Turbinaria peltata, Leptastrea sp., Goniopora sp. , ordered by the extent of their distribution range. The first three are dominant species. Comparing the earlier survey conducted from 1995 to 1997, two species Porites lutea and Acropora pruinosa,was disappeared, however, a new species Goniopora sp. was recorded and the three dominant species were the same. This indicated fast species turnover rate by species colonization. In terms of the live coral cover, the highest total coral cover was 33%, and Turbinaria peltata was the most dominant (its coral cover can reach to 31%). We also observe that the water mass along Dongshan area is high salinity and high temperature compare to that of nearby area and the lowest water temperature is 14 degree Celsius. Combined evidences suggested the water mass along Dongshan area is strongly influenced by the tropical warm current Kuroshio. Poster Mini-Symposium 14: Reef Connectivity 14.497 Genetic Population Structure in A Widely Distributed Tropical Species Of Sea Cucumber, holothuria (Halodeima) Atra. Timothy WERNER* 1,2 , Derek SKILLINGS 3 , Benita CHICK 4 1 Biology, Boston University, Boston, MA, 2 New England Aquarium, Boston, 3 University of Hawaii, Kaneohe, HI, 4 Boston University, Boston, MA Holothuria atra has one of the widest geographic distributions for any sea cucumber, ranging longitudinally from the Red Sea and Western Indian Ocean to the Panamaic region of the eastern Pacific. Typically it is locally abundant throughout its range, although this may be affected by the extent to which it is exploited as part of the international food trade. H. atra is capable of reproducing both sexually and asexually, a trait that it shares with only a small percentage of holothurians. We performed a population genetics analysis using 411 nucleotide bases of CO1 mitochondrial DNA from more than 600 individuals of H. atra sampled throughout its range, with the majority drawn from Indonesia and the Hawaiian Islands. Data were analyzed to determine evidence for population structure at multiple geographic scales, such as between regions separated by long distances and well-defined biogeographic barriers, and within sub-regions that included principally the Indonesian and Hawaiian archipelagoes. Based on an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) from Indonesian populations, most of the genetic variability (~80%) was explained by variation within local populations, and no obvious phylogeographic patterns were observed. In contrast, there was a significant genetic break between the Northwest Hawaiian Islands and the main Hawaiian Islands, even though the east-west geographic extent of this island chain is approximately two-thirds that of the Indonesian islands. Our results are discussed in the context of long-distance larval dispersal, physical barriers to gene flow, and reproductive strategy. 14.498 Human Exploitation Of Invertebrates in Seagrass Meadows in East-Africa Lina NORDLUND* 1 , Johan ERLANDSSON 1 , Martin GULLSTROM 2 1 Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm, Sweden, 2 Department of Zoology, Stockholm, Sweden Seagrasses form dense vegetative meadows which are dominating habitats of the coastlines around the world. Seagrass meadows are of ecological importance providing high biodiversity and production of both plants and animals. They are vital for fish as well as invertebrates, since they use these habitats for foraging, protection against predators, and as nursery grounds. The seagrass meadows play a significant role in the coastal environment as they often function as a link between mangroves and coral reefs. They provide protection against coastal erosion and many commercially important species use seagrass meadows as their habitat, which gives the meadows great economical value. Due to the high productivity and the significant role for coastal fisheries, seagrass meadows constitute a great direct value for humans in many tropical rural communities. The study objective is to investigate how collection of invertebrates in seagrass meadows influences the seagrass ecosystem in East-Africa. The study was performed by collecting biological data and interviewing invertebrate collectors in Mozambique and Tanzania. Abundance, biomass, and community structure of invertebrates, as well as seagrass characteristics have been compared between exploited and unexploited sites. The results show that invertebrate collection negatively affects abundance, biomass, and community composition of invertebrates in the seagrass meadows. Since seagrass and coral reef ecosystems are closely linked, there is a high possibility that the associated coral reef also will be affected by decreasing quantities of migrating invertebrates as well as less available feed for reef associated animals entering the seagrass ecosystem to forage. 387
14.499 Do Mangroves And Seagrass Beds Contribute To Coral Reef Fish Productivity in The Indo-Pacific? Richard UNSWORTH* 1 , Pelayo SALINAS DE LEON 2 , James BELL 3 , Samantha GARRARD 4 , David SMITH 5 1 SKM Consulting, Brisbane, Australia, 2 School of Biological Sciences, Victoria, University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand, 3 School of Biologica Sciences, Victoria, University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand, 4 Plymouth University, Plymouth, United Kingdom, 5 University of Essex, Colchester, United Kingdom Coastal marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened across the indo-pacific region; yet the faunal interactions that exist between the different component habitats of these ecosystems remain poorly understood. This information is vital as stress on one interconnected habitat may have cascade effects on other habitats. Promoting and raising the conservation importance of biodiverse yet unappealing habitats such as seagrass beds and mangrove forests requires a better knowledge of their connections to coral reefs and their use as fishing grounds. By extensively examining the fish assemblages of seagrass beds, mangroves and coral reefs within Eastern Indonesia we have developed a greater understanding of the usage of these habitats by fish assemblages and individual fish species. Our research found that seagrass beds were an important feeding habitat and nursery ground for many species and families of reef fish, this nursery role was found to be highly influenced by the presence of mangroves and the link with nearby coral reefs. Fish abundance and species richness in seagrass beds in close proximity to mangroves was at least twice that found in seagrass beds that were distant from mangrove habitats. We also found data to suggest that individual coral reef fish species may preferentially utilize certain environmental zones within those habitats at different stages of their development. Although indirectly important to seagrass and reef fish, mangroves are not an important juvenile reef fish habitat but harbor juveniles of many fish species of economic and subsistence importance across the indo-pacific. Our study indicates that Indo-Pacific seagrass beds play an enhanced role as fish nurseries, but this is influenced by the availability of nearby reef and mangrove habitats, and provides information to support the use of ecosystem level management of coral reef and associated fisheries within the Indo-Pacific region. 14.500 Genetic Connectivity Of siganus Fuscescens Populations Along The Northwest Luzon Coast Based On Microsatellite Data Rachel RAVAGO GOTANCO* 1 , Candice LUMIBAO 2 , Ma. Josefa PANTE 1 1 2 The Marine Science Institute, Quezon City, Philippines, The Marine Science Institute, Quezon CIty, Philippines Estimating the rates, extent, and patterns of connectivity among populations is important in the study of the population biology of marine organisms, and assumes critical importance in the design of spatially explicit management and conservation schemes. This study employs molecular genetic techniques to examine levels and patterns of connectivity among populations of the mottled rabbitfish, Siganus fuscescens, a valuable fishery species widely distributed in seagrass-dominated reef flats. Samples were collected from six sites along the northwest Luzon coast: Currimao, Ilocos Norte ; San Fernando, La Union; Bolinao, Pangasinan; Masinloc, Zambales; Morong, Bataan; and Padre Burgos, Quezon. Individuals were genotyped at 10 microsatellite loci. Population genetic diversity estimated from multilocus genotypes indicated high levels of heterozygosity (ranging from 0.66 to 0.79) among the six populations. Significant genetic differentiation was observed over all six populations (Fst = 0.047; P < 0.0001), spanning a distance of ~650 km. An analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) was performed to test the significance of various hypothetical spatial genetic structures. AMOVA results suggest the most likely partitioning of the six populations into three genetically distinct groups broadly consistent with geographical location: (1) Currimao (north); (2) San Fernando-Bolinao-Masinloc-Morong (central); and (3) Padre Burgos (south), with 16% of the total variance accounted for by among-group variation. There was no significant correlation between genetic distance and geographic distance. Relatively high levels of connectivity among samples from San Fernando to Morong (~250 km) were inferred, with these samples apparently constituting a single panmictic population. Connectivity between this central group and a southern site (Padre Burgos) appears to be greater than connectivity between the central group and a northern site (Currimao), which may be influenced by hydrographic features (current flow) and habitat availability. Poster Mini-Symposium 14: Reef Connectivity 14.501 Genetic Evidence Supports Larval Retention in The Western Caribbean For An Invertebrate With High Dispersal Capability (ophiothrix Suensonii: Echinodermata, Ophiuroidea) Vince RICHARDS* 1 , Mahmood SHIVJI 1 1 The National Coral Reef Institute, Oceanographic Center, Nova SE University, Florida 33004 USA, Dania Beach, FL Understanding connectivity at various spatial and temporal scales can aid in reef management. Here we report on the dispersal dynamics and demographic history of a coral reef invertebrate with high dispersal potential (up to 49 days larval duration in culture): the brittle star Ophiothrix suensonii. Mitochondrial COI sequences from 266 individuals collected from 10 locations throughout the Florida reef tract and Caribbean showed high overall connectivity (ΦST = 0.05). However, pairwise comparisons revealed three significantly differentiated regions: Florida, Honduras, and the remaining Caribbean, with Honduras showing substantially higher differentiation. A Bayesian analysis of migration was concordant with the AMOVA showing the lowest migration between Honduras and the remaining Caribbean. In contrast, migration rates between Honduras and Florida, and the Caribbean and Florida were considerably higher (19 and 45 times respectively). Despite long-range dispersal of O. suensonii throughout the wider Caribbean, the Honduras population appears isolated, and the persistent eddy current over the Meso-American Barrier Reef could be a major factor contributing to larval retention in this region. The phylogeographic pattern among haplotypes indicated a population expansion (confirmed by mismatch distribution) and coalescence analysis estimated that the expansion commenced approximately 300,000 years ago. A derived lineage dominated by Florida and virtually all Honduran haplotypes supports a colonization of Honduras from Florida. The large number of private haplotypes in Honduras and similar levels of molecular diversity for Honduras and Florida, suggest that Honduras has been genetically isolated for an extended period of time, likely predating the region wide population expansion. Finally, three widely distributed haplotypes formed a highly divergent lineage; the genetic distance between this lineage and the remaining haplotypes was comparable to other echinoderm congeners, suggesting cryptic speciation. The genetic isolation detected in Honduras, possibly due to local current patterns, highlights the need for independent management of reefs in this region. 14.502 Contribution Of Mangrove Nursery Habitats To Replenishment Of Adult Reef Fish Populations in Southern Florida David JONES* 1 , John WALTER 2 , Joe SERAFY 2 1 CIMAS, University of Miami - RSMAS, Miami, FL, 2 NOAA Fisheries, Miami, FL The idea that connectivity between mangrove forests and coral reefs, mediated by ontogenetic migrations of reef fishes that use mangroves for nursery habitat, is crucial for the replenishment of adult populations on the reef has recently received renewed attention. However, direct evidence of this linkage and an understanding of the influence variability of juveniles within mangrove nurseries has on the dynamics of adult reef fish populations is still lacking for many species. The present work is part of a larger study integrating two long-term and on-going efforts in southern Florida using visual survey methods to monitor fishes inhabiting (1) the Florida Keys reef tract and (2) adjacent inshore mangrove nursery habitats in Biscayne Bay. Our objective was to synthesize both data sets to establish the nature and extent of the linkage between mangrove and reef habitats and construct predictive models of recruitment dynamics, based on the mangrove survey data, that account for environmental variation and allow estimation of reef fish stock size. Length and abundance data of eleven species of fishes from nine families collected during >1000 mangrove survey transects over a nine year period (1999- 2007) form the basis of the analysis. Data were partitioned according to one spatial (mainland vs. key) and two temporal (season, year) treatments and a variant of MANOVA appropriate for ecological data was used to identify significant effects, establish the influence of five environmental variables (salinity, temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen, and proximity to freshwater discharge), and derive an index of recruitment (IR). Significant differences in length and abundance due to spatial, temporal, and interaction effects were present but varied with species. Examining the concordance between the mangrove-based IR and reef fish population size forms the basis of future work. 388
