An experimental study was done to evaluate the biodeposition dynamics associated with mussels and two fouling tunicates, Ciona intestinalis and Styela clava, in mussel aquaculture in Prince Edward Island (PEI), eastern Canada. The presence of C. intestinalis on small constructed mussel socks increased biodeposition by a factor of about 2 relative to mussel socks without tunicates. S. clava were small and had a negligible effect on total biodeposition from mussel socks although they increased sedimentation rates relative to that of abiotic control socks. Sinking rates of faecal pellets from large C. intestinalis varied between 1.39 and 6.54 cm s− 1 (LSMean = 2.35 cm s− 1). Using biodeposit production and sinking rates and hydrological data obtained in the present study, footprints of benthic loading due to mussel and tunicate biodeposition for a typical mussel farm in PEI were modelled using Shellfish-DEPOMOD. The results show benthic loading below longlines with C. intestinalis to be ca. 2 times greater than those from lines with only mussels with rates of up to 15.2 g m− 2 d− 1. However, given the greater settling rate of C. intestinalis biodeposits relative to mussel biodeposits, the extent of the footprint (≥ 1 g m− 2 d− 1) is similar or even more restrained. 相似文献

The avoidance of infested squares of Gossypium hirsutum as oviposition substrate by females of Anthonomus grandis was studied following two approaches. First, the preference for oviposition in infested versus non-infested squares was studied in laboratory. Second, the distribution of ovipositions by A. grandis in nature was analyzed in cotton plots from Argentina. In addition, the consequences of multiple ovipositions were assessed in terms of emergence rate, adult weight and sex ratio. In the laboratory, the number of ovipositions was significantly higher in non-infested than in infested squares. Likewise, females were found to reject infested squares more frequently than non-infested squares. In the field, oviposition pattern fitted a uniform distribution for squares collected from the ground, while the distribution in squares sampled from the plant fitted random and uniform distributions. This suggests that oviposition decisions could be dynamic and change with the infestation conditions. Multiple ovipositions resulted in the elimination of competing larvae between L1 and L2 instars. The weight of the individual that develops to the adult stage was negatively affected by the level of larval competition, and the sex ratio deviated toward females. Our results suggest that females of A. grandis tend to avoid already infested squares. This behavior would allow reducing the levels of intraspecific competition, which we also found can seriously affect the development of their progeny. A deeper knowledge of the oviposition behavior of A. grandis could contribute to developing control methods against this important cotton pest. 相似文献
