Abstract

AbstractNative to the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf wedge clam (Rangia cuneata) has been successfully invading Baltic Sea since first introduction with ballast waters in 2010. In this study, we report new occurrence sites in the Pomeranian Bay and in the brackish water of the Szczecin Lagoon. We aimed to describe the structure and stability of the new population of Gulf wedge clam using ecological indicators (i.e. condition index, length-at-age) and a molecular approach targeting first cytochrome oxidase subunit (COX1) fragments. The study showed an age structure dominated by adult clams (aged 4+), rather than the often reported juveniles. We found that the condition of the R. cuneatapopulation in the Pomeranian Bay is characteristic of the expansion model after bottleneck. Genetic analyses indicated low nucleotide (π = 0.00387 ± 0.00012) and haplotype (h = 0.79 ± 0.018) diversity. A haplotype network inferred by a median-joining method showed lack of haplotype H6 (Chesapeake Bay, NW Atlantic) and numerous individuals with haplotype H1 (Gulf of Mexico). Demographic parameters (non-significant Tajima’s D = 2.058, Fu’s Fs = 2.298, Fu and Li’s D* = 1.195, and significant Fu and Li’s F test = 1.757) suggested that the population underwent a moderate population bottleneck, while analysis of mismatch distribution showed a bimodal shape which may imply population admixture as a consequence of “allelic surfing”. Moreover, we concluded that R. cuneatahas successfully invaded the basin of the LNG terminal, although our study proved non-linear growth of this species.

Abstract

Summary The study aimed to characterise the gametes of salmon ( Salmo salar L.) ascending Polish rivers, the first such characterisation since initiation of the salmon restitution programme in the 1980s. Gametes of ascending salmon were examined in two Polish rivers: the Wieprza in the western part of the Polish Baltic coast and the Vistula in the eastern part. Additional gametes were sampled from salmon maintained in pond cultures at fish farms that had provided stocking material for the restitution programme. Spermatocrit, spermatozoa concentration and motility, egg size and weight, as well as egg membrane resistance were analysed. The parameters studied were found to differ both within individual populations and between them. The high variability of the gamete characteristics bodes well for the salmon population in Polish waters, because it evidences high species plasticity and an ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Despite the variabilities observed, the egg and sperm parameters showed values within ranges optimal for salmon reproduction under natural conditions. Sperm quality was found to be largely dependent on environmental conditions affecting the adult males (environmental conditions explained 73.9% of sperm parameter variability), whereas egg quality was mainly related to individual characteristics of the respective female (environmental conditions explained as little as 28.3% of the egg parameter variability).

Abstract

Plastic debris is thought to be widespread in freshwater ecosystems globally1. However, a lack of comprehensive and comparable data makes rigorous assessment of its distribution challenging2,3. Here we present a standardized cross-national survey that assesses the abundance and type of plastic debris (>250 μm) in freshwater ecosystems. We sample surface waters of 38 lakes and reservoirs, distributed across gradients of geographical position and limnological attributes, with the aim to identify factors associated with an increased observation of plastics. We find plastic debris in all studied lakes and reservoirs, suggesting that these ecosystems play a key role in the plastic-pollution cycle. Our results indicate that two types of lakes are particularly vulnerable to plastic contamination: lakes and reservoirs in densely populated and urbanized areas and large lakes and reservoirs with elevated deposition areas, long water-retention times and high levels of anthropogenic influence. Plastic concentrations vary widely among lakes; in the most polluted, concentrations reach or even exceed those reported in the subtropical oceanic gyres, marine areas collecting large amounts of debris4. Our findings highlight the importance of including lakes and reservoirs when addressing plastic pollution, in the context of pollution management and for the continued provision of lake ecosystem services.

Abstract

The majority of microplastic research has focused on seawater, with fewer than 4% of microplasticsrelated studies occurring on freshwaters. The limited available information suggests that the abundance of microplastics in freshwaters is often as high or even higher than marine environments. However, comprehensive investigations on occurrence and fate of microplastics in freshwaters are scarce and highly fragmented, partly because detection and identification of microplastic particles is rather complex. In addition, up to now, harmonized and standardized protocols for the sampling and analysis of microplastics in freshwaters do not exist, and studies with different research aims and hypotheses often report unstandardized results, making comparison among studies difficult. In the present study, we performed the first global standardized sampling and analysis effort to investigate the occurrence and distribution of microplastics in surface water of lakes and reservoirs with different anthropogenic impacts. Participants aim to collect water samples of freshwater systems with different features (e.g., area, depth, thermal behavior, watershed), following a common protocol. This 18 establishes the collection of samples by horizontal trawling of a plankton net and, after treatment with hydrogen peroxide, the polymer identification through micro-Raman spectroscopy. This GLEON project will allow obtaining comparable data about microplastic contamination in different freshwater systems around the globe. With this global dataset, our goals are to determine whether a relationship exists between the abundance of microplastics and the waterbody/watershed attributes and understand which factors are likely to influence the occurrence of microplastics in surface water of lentic systems. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
