Abstract

Background and Objectives: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) serosurveys are typically analysed by applying a fixed threshold for seropositivity ('conventional approach'). However, this approach underestimates the seroprevalence of anti‐nucleocapsid (N) in vaccinated individuals—who often exhibit a difficult‐to‐detect anti‐N response. This limitation is compounded by delays between the onset of infection and sample collection. To address this issue, we compared the performance of four immunoassays using a new analytical approach ('ratio‐based approach'), which determines seropositivity based on an increase in anti‐N levels. Materials and Methods: Two groups of plasma donors and four immunoassays (Elecsys total anti‐N, VITROS total anti‐N, Architect anti‐N Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and in‐house total anti‐N) were evaluated. First‐group donors (N = 145) had one positive SARS‐CoV‐2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result and had made two plasma donations, including one before and one after the PCR test (median = 27 days post‐PCR). Second‐group donors (N = 100) had made two plasma donations early in the Omicron wave. Results: Among first‐group donors (97.9% vaccinated), sensitivity estimates ranged from 60.0% to 89.0% with the conventional approach, compared with 94.5% to 98.6% with the ratio‐based approach. Among second‐group donors, Fleiss's κ ranged from 0.56 to 0.83 with the conventional approach, compared with 0.90 to 1.00 with the ratio‐based approach. Conclusion: With the conventional approach, the sensitivity of four immunoassays—measured in a predominantly vaccinated population based on samples collected ~1 month after a positive test result—fell below regulatory agencies requirement of ≥95%. The ratio‐based approach significantly improved the sensitivities and qualitative agreement among immunoassays, to the point where all would meet this requirement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The threat posed by invasive non-native species worldwide requires a global approach to identify which introduced species are likely to pose an elevated risk of impact to native species and ecosystems. To inform policy, stakeholders and management decisions on global threats to aquatic ecosystems, 195 assessors representing 120 risk assessment areas across all six inhabited continents screened 819 non-native species from 15 groups of aquatic organisms (freshwater, brackish, marine plants and animals) using the Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit. This multi-lingual decision-support tool for the risk screening of aquatic organisms provides assessors with risk scores for a species under current and future climate change conditions that, following a statistically based calibration, permits the accurate classification of species into high-, medium- and low-risk categories under current and predicted climate conditions. The 1730 screenings undertaken encompassed wide geographical areas (regions, political entities, parts thereof, water bodies, river basins, lake drainage basins, and marine regions), which permitted thresholds to be identified for almost all aquatic organismal groups screened as well as for tropical, temperate and continental climate classes, and for tropical and temperate marine ecoregions. In total, 33 species were identified as posing a ‘very high risk’ of being or becoming invasive, and the scores of several of these species under current climate increased under future climate conditions, primarily due to their wide thermal tolerances. The risk thresholds determined for taxonomic groups and climate zones provide a basis against which area-specific or climate-based calibrated thresholds may be interpreted. In turn, the risk rankings help decision-makers identify which species require an immediate ‘rapid’ management action (e.g. eradication, control) to avoid or mitigate adverse impacts, which require a full risk assessment, and which are to be r

Abstract

The goal of the ICES Working Group on the Introduction and Transfers of Marine Organisms (WGITMO) is to contribute to the ICES vision and mission by addressing specific science objectives related to the introduction, spread and impacts of non-indigenous marine species (NIS). The expert working group provides information and advice on the impacts of human activities (e.g. pressures caused by invasive species, litter, aquaculture, biofouling) on marine ecosystems including the Arctic. The Terms of Reference include annual national reporting on NIS detections and research, climate change impact on the spread of NIS, the risk and impacts of NIS, vectors of spread of NIS including biofouling, marine debris and aquaculture. This report summarizes the key findings and outcomes from the 2020–2022 term. A joint meeting in (2020) with WGBOSV [Ballast Water and Other Ship Vectors] and WGHABD [Harmful Algal Bloom Dynamics] was held to discuss scientific issues of joint interest including climate change in the Arctic environment, and early detection of and response to species through the use of innovative molecular tools. The discussion on molecular tools was used by the groups to develop the framework for a targeted Molecular Tools workshop in conjunction with at the International Conference for Marine Bioinvasions (ICMB) in May 2023. National activities were presented and discussed from over 20 countries each year. Common themes included, new species introduction and monitoring, recent activities on traditional and innovative methods for detection and surveillance (including molecular tools). Science highlights include the submission of the ICES biofouling viewpoint to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regarding biofouling guidelines, development and publication of a global scale NIS screening tool, and publication of a global review of NIS trends over 50 years. The Information system on aquatic non-indigenous and cryptogenic species AquaNIS continu

Abstract

European Green Crab (EGC; Carcinus maenas) is a voracious aquatic invasive species (AIS) that threatens Canada's Atlantic and Pacific marine and estuarine ecosystems. It preys on and competes with commercial and recreational shellfish, negatively impacts commercial fisheries, and destroys ecologically- and biologically-significant habitat for native species. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has developed substantial knowledge of EGC, particularly regarding trapping for early detection, monitoring, research, and physical removal for control. Information on trapping method considerations (deployment, environment, behaviour, catch) and goalfocussed protocols for different objectives including control measures and mitigation strategies has been compiled to provide advice on detection and control of EGC. Trapping EGC is critical for early detection, determining impacts on native species and habitat, and rapid response and control efforts to prevent ecosystem degradation and commercial fishery loss. A review of 69 peer reviewed studies and unpublished projects on EGC trapping were reviewed to examine trap types used in Canada (46 studies) and elsewhere (23 studies). Fifteen traps were categorized by type and usage in Canada and 13 additional traps that were used in North America and other parts of the world. The Fukui collapsible crab trap was the most utilized trap in Canada based on the review. Other traps have proven effective and direct trap type comparisons have been conducted in several regions. Trap selection must consider the trapping objective, in particular, the targeted portion of the EGC population, as some trap types can disproportionately catch large adult EGC due to trap design and intraspecific EGC behaviours. Several factors are key in selecting an appropriate trap type based on trapping objectives, which can include habitat type, depth and site location, deployment method, life stage of targeted population, bycatch considerations and available resources. Trapping is an effective methodology for monitoring relative changes in EGC abundances and population dynamics, including changes in co-occurring native species (e.g., rock crab, lobster, and some fish depending on the trap type) that may be impacted by the invasion. Trapping for rapid response and control can effectively reduce EGC numbers and alter population dynamics. Outcomes could include reduction of EGC mean body size and recovery of impacted native species and habitat, but trapping efforts may need to be sustained to maintain low impacts of EGC on ecosystem components. Knowledge gaps identified include a lack of information on trapping juvenile EGC and determining effective threshold levels or numbers for control to prevent environmental and fishery impacts. This EGC trapping advice could be incorporated by managers into a decisionmaking tool for guiding action related to early detection, rapid response, and control management activities.

Abstract

23 témoignages de survivant(e)s Des dizaines de milliers de femmes et d'hommes ont secoué la planète en agissant pour leur mieux-être, celui de leurs enfants et de leurs petits-enfants et celui des générations futures. Je crois qu'on minimise trop facilement des élans de colère, des gestes grossiers ou agressifs, des paroles offensives, des regards intimidants. La violence fait peur. On retarde le moment d'agir. On se tait et on espère qu'il n'y aura pas de prochaine fois... et il y en aura une, il y en aura toujours une. Je sais, je l'ai vécu. Je veux vivre, un livre qui n'a pas d'âge, dans lequel vingt-trois survivantes et survivants racontent leur parcours et comment ils s'en sont sortis... un livre inédit sur un enjeu majeur existant, qui apporte espoir et vérité, conseils et informations, références et ressources d'aide, afin de contrer la violence conjugale, l'intimidation et les agressions sexuelles. Nathalie Simard, chanteuse et conférencière, une battante qui soutient la cause depuis de nombreuses années, s'associe à l'écriture de ce livre qui invite à éclaircir et comprendre la vérité de la réalité. La réalisation de Je veux vivre a été rendue possible grâce à Sylvie Morin, directrice de La Bouée régionale du Lac-Mégantic, une maison d'hébergement pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale et leurs enfants.

Abstract

Didemnum vexillum Kott (2002) is a high-impact, globally-invasive, colonial tunicate species that is native to Japan (Lambert, 2009; Stefaniak et al., 2012). It is generally a temperate cold-water organism, and its introduced range currently includes New Zealand, the Netherlands, France, Ireland, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and both the west and east coasts of the United States and Canada (Lambert, 2009; Stefaniak et al., 2012; Tagliapietra et al., 2012; Ordóñez et al., 2015, Vercaemer et al., 2015). Like other invasive tunicates, D. vexillum has the capacity to reproduce rapidly, outcompete native species, deteriorate environmental integrity, and cause significant economic harm (Lambert, 2005; Blum et al., 2007; Daniel and Therriault, 2007; Langyel et al., 2009; Cordell et al., 2013). For these reasons, this document aims to increase awareness of D. vexillum, with a focus on identification, natural history, current global distribution, potential impacts, and prospects for management and control where introductions occur.

Abstract

We report new observations of two invasive ascidian species, the solitary Ascidiella aspersa and the colonial Diplosoma listerianum, from Eastern Canada, which include some records from new sites. Because these species share many superficial characteristics with native and non-native species in the region, identifications based on detailed taxonomic studies of internal structures--and not only on external features--are essential and can complement molecular methods. In this report, specimens of A. aspersa collected from Nova Scotia in 2013 and D. listerianum from New Brunswick and Quebec in 2017 were described morphologically to confirm species identity. Specimens of both were collected one year after initial discoveries in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, respectively. Specimens of D. listerianum from Quebec were collected after a six-year hiatus. This report contributes a new record of A. aspersa 30 km (by sea) north of the site of the first record in Canada. It also confirms the first record of D. listerianum and documents its rapid spread in New Brunswick. This report is the first time that A. aspersa from Eastern Canada and D. listerianum from New Brunswick and the second time that D. listerianum from Quebec was explicitly identified based on an examination of internal features. Species confirmation of these easily overlooked or misidentified taxa contributes a time-stamp on current invasion fronts and suggests that the risk of further introductions and spread of these invasive species is present at un-invaded sites throughout Eastern Canada.

Abstract

In eastern Canada, the initial suspected discovery of the non-indigenous colonial ascidian Diplosoma listerianum in Quebec was followed by species identification and increased awareness for its detection in the neighbouring provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. A phylogenetic analysis was conducted based on sequences generated from the 18S ribosomal DNA gene isolated from tissues of two Canadian samples (Quebec and Nova Scotia) and samples from several species belonging to the Diplosoma genus, which confirmed the species identity of the eastern Canadian specimens. Colonies of D. listerianum found in Quebec (2008) and Nova Scotia (2012) are currently the only tissue records of this species in eastern Canada. Water samples of concentrated plankton collected in Quebec (2010 and 2011) and in Prince Edward Island (2011) tested PCR positive for D. listerianum DNA, but colonies were not observed concurrently. As a case study for early detection, this paper documents how D. listerianum was detected in eastern Canada by different groups (government monitoring, academic research) and with different methods (dive surveys, genetic analysis of water samples, collector plates). This case study suggests that the co-operation between groups and the breadth of the methods used contributed to the early detection of this species in three eastern Canadian provinces. In particular, we show that (i) partnerships between government, academia, and industry, (ii) a national capacity for species-specific molecular detection tools, and (iii) the recognition that the effectiveness and limitations of different monitoring methods may be site-specific can have positive early detection and monitoring outcomes.
