De Gladde snavelneut is een relatief nieuwe exoot. Onlangs ontdekten duikers een populatie in het Grevelingenmeer op een nogal obscure plek. Daar waar de bodem zwart ziet en in zuurstofarme omstandigheden overal dieren liggen te sterven, steken deze tweekleppige schelpdieren hun schelp en een lange sifobuis uit het slib en blijken ze springlevend.

The Southeastern United States is known for rich levels of aquatic diversity, especially within its fish and mussel species. However, aquatic diversity has decreased significantly within the region, putting much of the aquatic fauna at risk of being threatened, endangered, or becoming extinct. Decreases in diversity have been associated with the breakdown and displacement of aquatic habitat that is essential to these diverse communities of aquatic organisms. The detection and characterization of habitat use in imperiled fish and mussels are vital to fully understanding these species, with the hopes of preserving and possibly reintroducing them into their historic range where suitable habitat possibly still exists. Throughout this study, we identified, assessed, and compiled habitat availability in North Carolina’s and Georgia’s Little Tennessee River Basin waterways upstream of Fontana Reservoir. Information was used for developing habitat assessments for species of greatest conservation need and support reintroduction/restoration site selection. These species include fish species such as Stonecat (Noturus flavus), Spotfin Chub (Erimonax monachus), and the undescribed Sicklefin Redhorse (Moxostoma sp.). Mussels of interest include the Tennessee Clubshell (Pleurobema oviforme), Appalachian Elktoe (Alasmidonta raveneliana), and Slippershell (Alasmidonta viridis). This information will be used by management organizations to further support the conservation needs of the species.

This work aims to generate the data needed to set epidemiological cut-off values for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and disc-diffusion zone measurements of Vibrio anguillarum. A total of 261 unique isolates were tested, applying standard methods specifying incubation at 28°C for 24-28 h. Aggregated MIC distributions for a total of 247 isolates were determined in 9 laboratories for 11 agents. Data aggregations of the disc zone for the 10 agents analysed contained between 157 and 218 observations made by 4 to 7 laboratories. Acceptable ranges for quality control (QC) reference strains were available for 7 agents and the related multi-laboratory aggregated data were censored, excluding the data of a laboratory that failed to meet QC requirements. Statistical methods were applied to calculate epidemiological cut-off values. Cut-off values for MIC data were calculated for florfenicol (≤1 µg ml-1), gentamicin (≤4 µg ml-1), oxytetracycline (≤0.25 µg ml-1) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (≤0.125/2.38 µg ml-1). The cut-off values for disc zone data were calculated for enrofloxacin (≥29 mm), florfenicol (≥27 mm), gentamicin (≥19 mm), oxolinic acid (≥24 mm), oxytetracycline (≥24 mm) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (≥26 mm). MIC and disc-diffusion zone data for the other agents where not supported by QC, thus yielding only provisional cut-off values (meropenem, ceftazidime). Regardless of whether QC is available, some of the aggregated MIC distributions (enrofloxacin, oxolinic acid), disc zone (sulfamethoxazole), and MIC and disc-diffusion distributions (ampicillin, chloramphenicol) did not meet the statistical requirements. The data produced will be submitted to the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute for their consideration in setting international consensus epidemiological cut-off values., European Commission, Ministère de l'Agriculture et de la Souveraineté alimentaire (France), Ministère de la Transition écologique et de la Cohésion des territoires (France), Norwegian Environmental Agency, Ministero della Salute (Italia), Depto. de Sanidad Animal, Centro de Vigilancia Sanitaria Veterinaria (VISAVET), Fac. de Veterinaria, TRUE, pub

Dankzij wegen kunnen we ons snel van A naar B verplaatsen. Bermen en watergangen vervullen eenzelfde rol voor planten en dieren en krijgen daardoor steeds meer waardering. Helaas blijkt het ook een ideale manier voor invasieve exoten om zich te verplaatsen. “Herkennen, vastleggen en communiceren”, daarmee kunnen we het beheersbaar maken, zegt Joyce Penninkhof, senior adviseur van Probos. Verdwijnen zullen veel exoten namelijk niet meer.

Beleid - Dit beleidsplan zet uiteen welke maatregelen genomen kunnen of moeten worden bij een verdenking of officiële besmetting van een categorie A ziekte bij gehouden en wilde waterdieren. Ook geeft dit beleidsplan weer hoe de crisisorganisatie van het Ministerie van Landbouw, Natuur en Voedselkwaliteit (LNV) is opgebouwd, welke algemene beleidsinstrumenten de minister van LNV heeft, wat de beleidsoverwegingen zijn en hoe de communicatie plaatsvindt.

Exotische vlokreeftjes die in zelfgebouwde kokertjes leven. Ze komen opeens massaal voor en overwoekeren onder water veel, zelfs levende dieren. Kleine ecoramp of tijdelijk gebeuren?

Er zijn sowieso al vele vormen en definities van het woord ‘intelligentie’, maar als je het hebt over intelligentie bij dieren, worden dat er alleen maar meer. Wanneer ben je intelligent? Een hond die alles doet wat de baas hem vraagt en alle commando’s kent, is die slimmer dan een kat die zijn eigen plan trekt? Als we de moeite nemen ons te verdiepen in de intelligentie van dieren die verder van ons af staan, bijvoorbeeld omdat ze zich onder de waterspiegel bevinden, komen we erachter dat er ook onder water, ontzettend veel wijsheid leeft.

The ocean is an important ecosystem, and aquatic animals play an important role in the biological world, especially in aquaculture. How to accurately and intelligently recognise and detect aquatic animals is one of the urgent problems in the field of underwater biological detection. The wide applications of artificial intelligence (AI), especially deep learning (DL), provide new opportunities and challenges for the efficient and intelligent exploration of aquatic animals. DL has been widely used in the visual recognition and detection of terrestrial animals, but it is in the early stages of use for aquatic animals due to the complexity of underwater environment and the difficulty of data acquisition. Here, this article reviews the current application status of DL for aquatic animals, potential challenges and future directions. The key advances of DL algorithms applied to the visual recognition and detection of aquatic animals are generalised, including datasets, algorithms and performance. The applications of DL are summarised in aquatic animals, including image detection, video detection, species classification, biomass estimation, behaviour analysis and food safety. Furthermore, the challenges are summed up and classified in the object recognition and detection domain for aquatic animals. Finally, further research direction is discussed and the conclusions are drawn. The key advances of DL in the recognition and detection of aquatic animals will help to further excavate and extend the application of DL in the field of marine biological exploration. © 2022 John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd.

Aim Natural disaster risk reduction (DRR) is becoming a more important function of protected area (PAs) for current and future global warming. However, biodiversity conservation and DRR have been handled separately and their interrelationship has not been explicitly addressed. This is mainly because, due of prevailing strategies and criteria for PA placement, a large proportion of PAs are currently located far from human-occupied areas, and habitats in human-occupied areas have been largely ignored as potential sites for conservation despite their high biodiversity. If intensely developed lowland areas with high flooding risk overlap with important sites for biodiversity conservation, it would be reasonable to try to harmonize biodiversity conservation and human development in human-inhabited lowland areas. Here, we examined whether extant PAs can conserve macroinvertebrate and freshwater fish biodiversity and whether human-inhabited lowland flood risk management sites might be suitable to designate as freshwater protected areas (FPAs). Location Across Japan. Methods We examined whether extant PAs can conserve macroinvertebrate and freshwater fish biodiversity and analysed the relationship between candidate sites for new FPAs and flood disaster risk and land use intensity at a national scale across Japan based on distribution data for 131 freshwater fish species and 1395 macroinvertebrate species. Results We found that extant PAs overlapped with approximately 30% of conservation-priority grid cells (1 km(2)) for both taxa. Particularly for red-listed species, only one species of freshwater fish and three species of macroinvertebrate achieved the representation target within extant PAs. Moreover, more than 40% of candidate conservation-priority grid cells were located in flood risk and human-occupied areas for both taxa. Main conclusions Floodplain conservation provides suitable habitat for many freshwater organisms and helps control floodwaters, so establishing new

Pursuant to Utah Code 65A-2-2 and 65A-2-4 and the implementing regulations of Utah Administrative Code R652-90, the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL or the division) is empowered to prepare and adopt comprehensive management plans for sovereign lands and resources. FFSL initiated the Bear Lake Comprehensive Management Plan (Bear Lake CMP) process to replace the existing 2009 Bear Lake CMP (FFSL 2009) . The process has included interagency cooperation and collaboration with open public participation. The primary purpose of the Bear Lake CMP is to guide FFSL, along with adjacent landowners and other local, state, and federal partners, in managing and appropriately using Bear Lake's sovereign land resources. The Bear Lake CMP clearly sets forth defined management goals and objectives for guiding and directing future resource management actions, activities, and recreation uses on Bear Lake. In compliance with policy, procedures, rules, and statutes for comprehensive management planning, FFSL has completed the updated CMP for the planning area. Therefore, FFSL issues this record of decision for the Bear Lake CMP.

The Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL) has developed the 2022 Bear Lake Comprehensive Management Plan (Bear Lake CMP) to replace the existing 2009 Bear Lake CMP (FFSL 2009) and to update management goals and objectives for Bear Lake sovereign lands in Rich County, Utah. The Bear Lake CMP is designed to ensure that navigation, fish and wildlife habitat, aquatic beauty, public recreation, and water quality (known as Public Trust resources or values) are given due consideration and balanced against the economic necessity, justification for, or benefit to be derived from any proposed use, pursuant to Utah Administrative Code R652-2-200. Under Utah Code 65A-10-1, management responsibility for the lake's sovereign land resources lies with FFSL. Additionally, Utah Code 65A-2-1, which governs management of all state lands within FFSL's jurisdiction, states that "[t]he division [FFSL] shall administer state lands under comprehensive land management programs using multiple-use, sustained-yield principles."

Pursuant to Utah Code 65A-2-2 and 65A-2-4 and the implementing regulations of Utah Administrative Code R652-90, the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL or the division) is empowered to prepare and adopt comprehensive management plans for sovereign lands and resources. FFSL initiated the Bear Lake Comprehensive Management Plan (Bear Lake CMP) process to replace the existing 2009 Bear Lake CMP (FFSL 2009) . The process has included interagency cooperation and collaboration with open public participation. The primary purpose of the Bear Lake CMP is to guide FFSL, along with adjacent landowners and other local, state, and federal partners, in managing and appropriately using Bear Lake's sovereign land resources. The Bear Lake CMP clearly sets forth defined management goals and objectives for guiding and directing future resource management actions, activities, and recreation uses on Bear Lake. In compliance with policy, procedures, rules, and statutes for comprehensive management planning, FFSL has completed the updated CMP for the planning area. Therefore, FFSL issues this record of decision for the Bear Lake CMP.

Exotische steuren kun je tegenwoordig overal tegenkomen. Ze worden in de aquacultuur geweekt voor de productie van kaviaar, verkocht als vijvervis en uitgezet in speciale hengelvijvers. Daarnaast worden er ook steeds meer vreemde steuren in het open water aangetroffen. Vormen deze vissen, net als de Amerikaanse rivierkreeft, Japanse oester of zwartbekgrondel, een bedreiging voor de inheemse flora en fauna?

Herkenning van vissen is niet altijd eenvoudig. Zeker binnen de familie van de karpers is de diversiteit hoog en lijken zeker de jonge exemplaren veel op elkaar. De laatste eeuw zijn daar ook nog een tiental exoten bij gekomen. Hoe herken je deze soorten en wat is bekend over de impact van deze nieuwkomers?

De beschermde en zeldzame Platte schijfhoren en Kleverige poelslak leven in vegetatierijk schoon water, vooral in laagveengebied. Ze nemen echter sterk af. Massaal toenemende exotische kreeften eten zowel waterplanten als de slakken. De sloten worden daardoor steeds soortenarmer. Is daar nog wat aan te doen?

Kennis - De rode rivierkreeft is als soort zo succesvol in het bezetten van nieuwe leefgebieden, dat die van de EU het predicaat ‘invasieve exoot’ heeft gekregen. Dit heeft lokaal negatieve gevolgen voor inheemse soorten. Vanwege dit label zijn de EU-lidstaten verplicht om hem ‘zo veel als mogelijk’ uit de natuur te verwijderen. Tot nu toe hebben LNV en de waterschappen vooral veel onderzoek gedaan. Een heldere strategie voor verwijdering bestaat nog niet. De rivierkreeften ‘are here to stay’ en ze moeten hun plek vinden in onze Hollandse waternatuur. De overlast zal nog wel een lange tijd voortduren.

Een terugkerend fenomeen: exoten die de balans van de Nederlandse ecologie verstoren, met telkens weer de mens als veroorzaker. Ook rivierkreeften zijn niet meer weg te denken uit deze exotenoorlog waarin onze inheemse Europese rivierkreeft de slachtofferrol bekleedt.

Amerikaanse rivierkreeft vertelt... “Wat ik soms wel leuk vind, is om helder water troebel te maken. Dan zie je lekker niks meer,” vertelt Gijs de rode Amerikaanse rivierkreeft in deze aflevering van de podcastserie Groene Oren. Als studiogasten vertellen planten, bomen en dieren zelf hun verhaal: wie zijn ze, hoe ziet hun dagelijks leven er uit en hoe is het om vanuit hun perspectief de wereld te ervaren?
