Towards a collaborative stakeholder engagement pathway to increase ocean sustainability related to marine spatial planning in developing coastal states

Environmental Challenges, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15, С. 100954 - 100954

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2024

With the increased emphasis on charting ocean sustainability narratives, marine spatial planning (MSP) is envisioned as a key tenet. MSPs emphasize systematic and collaborative management of space (resources activities) for benefit all users. Regions that have implemented MSP based stakeholder engagement are progressively realizing better outcomes. Unfortunately, in developing coastal states, progress toward largely pedestrian has attracted less interest. This partly due to archaic coastal/marine resource models dominated by few powerful stakeholders. worsened increasing human-environmental shocks, which creating bleak futures. Our study systematically sourced 12,316 documents from Scopus were analyzed using bibliometrics (i) conduct performance analysis, (ii) scientific mapping analysis (iii) identify game-changing developments can drive sustainability.

Lionfish (Pterois miles) in the Mediterranean Sea: a review of the available knowledge with an update on the invasion front

NeoBiota, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 92, С. 233 - 257

Опубликована: Апрель 25, 2024

Invasive species often severely impact ecosystems and human activities in the areas that they invade. The lionfishes Pterois miles P. volitans are regarded as most successful invasive fishes marine ecosystems. In last 40 years, these Indo-Pacific predators have established tropical western Atlantic Ocean, with well-documented detrimental effects on local fish communities. Around 10 years ago, a second invasion began Mediterranean Sea, which is being colonised by . Given potential of fact ecology biodiversity temperate/sub-tropical Sea offer different setting from Atlantic, specific knowledge this needed. Here, we: (i) review scientific available lionfishes, (ii) discuss such context (iii) suggest future research avenues Sea. addition, we an update spread While history development resolved some mitigation plans been implemented locally, study interactions their its infancy. Closing gap will lead to important fundamental insights result predictions ecosystem services Such information practical implications for policy-makers aiming devise sound efficient plans.

Microbiota dynamics in lionfish (Pterois): insights into invasion and establishment in the Mediterranean Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16

Опубликована: Апрель 2, 2025

Lionfishes (Pterois spp.), originally native to the Indo-Pacific and Red Sea, have become one of most invasive marine species globally, including recent establishment in Mediterranean Sea. This study investigates microbiota lionfish explore its potential role their invasion success establishment. Using high-throughput sequencing analyses, we characterized species-specific core microbiome identified habitat-specific markers across different regions (Red Caribbean, aquarium populations) organs. Focusing on invasion, tracked distribution population dynamics along Israeli coastline from 2017 2023, monitoring size, seasonal trends, depth preferences. Our findings reveal that initially established themselves deeper waters before expanding shallower habitats, with a gradual increase size body length over time. From microbial aspect, compared organs similar pattern (Photobacterium), Earlier Lessepsian migrants fish species. provides novel insights into interactions between host ecology, shedding light mechanisms may support successful invasion. contributes understanding Mediterranean. It highlights as an integral component for studying ecological biological underpinning species' lionfish.

Genetic diversity patterns of lionfish in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean reveal a rapidly expanding stepping-stone bioinvasion process

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Авг. 18, 2023

In 2020, multiple lionfish (Pterois spp.) records along the equatorial Southwestern (SW) Atlantic revealed a new expansion of these potentially damaging invasive populations, which could impact over 3500 km Brazilian coastline next few years, as well unique ecosystems and marine protected areas in its path. To assess taxonomic status, invasion route, correlation with other centres distribution, we investigated genetic diversity patterns caught 2022 at Amazonia, Northeastern Brazil, Fernando de Noronha Rocas Atoll ecoregions, using two molecular markers, mitochondrial COI nuclear S7 RP1. The data indicate that all studied belong to what is generally accepted P. volitans, share same signature present Caribbean Sea. shared haplotypes alleles SW derives from an active movement adult individuals Sea into coast. Amazon mesophotic reefs likely served stepping-stone overcome biogeographical barrier represented by Amazon-Orinoco River plume. New found for RP1 suggest onset local diversification, heightening environmental risks this bioinvasion heads towards South ecoregions.

Depth drive shifts in the fish and benthic assemblages of the South American Reef System

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(1)

The low-latitude habitats of the South American reef system have a high endemism and represent important stepping-stones due to connectivity with Amazon Caribbean reefs. We provide first seabed mapping, analyze benthic cover fish assemblages these extreme Fleshy macroalgae (2—66% cover), algal turfs (0—47%), sponges (3—25%) are dominant groups. main builders crustose coralline algae (2—23%) only four coral species (0 18%), mainly weedy Siderastrea stellata. Cluster analysis distinguished two group includes shallowest reefs (~ 17 m deep) where fleshy abundant together higher siltation on 31% covered by sediments). second group, contrast, deeper (22.5—27 m), which much turf cover, lowest sediment (4%). also highest corals (18%) (25%). recorded total 63 species, deep being richest. Analysis indicated that composition benthos was considerably more homogeneous across study area than assemblages, had turnover among Moreover, we identified depth as variable structuring assemblages. assemblage is influenced, in turn, benthos.
