Three black bear cubs (rescued and rehabilitated in 2019) were recently released back into the wild. The yearlings were tagged for future identification and fled into their natural habitat when released April 27, 2020. Black Bear cub #19-0492 (White Tag) was admitted at the Wildlife Center April 19, 2019 after being observed roaming near a populated shopping area. As there was no safe place for her to await the return of her mother, a biologist with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries delivered her to the Wildlife Center. Over her 375-day stay she grew from 1.78 kg to 33.9 kg and is now a healthy, vibrant yearling. The stories of the Cubs of 2019 are documented in the Critter Corner section of the Wildlife Center of Virginia website.
The high mortality of cephalopod early stages is the main bottleneck to grow them from paralarvae to adults in culture conditions, probably because the inadequacy of the diet that results in malnutrition. Since visual analysis of digestive tract contents of paralarvae provides little evidence of diet composition, the use of molecular tools, particularly next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, offers an alternative to understand prey preferences and nutrient requirements of wild paralarvae. In this work, we aimed to determine the diet of paralarvae of the loliginid squid Alloteuthis media and to enhance the knowledge of the diet of recently hatched Octopus vulgaris paralarvae collected in different areas and seasons in an upwelling area (NW Spain). DNA from the dissected digestive glands of 32 A. media and 64 O. vulgaris paralarvae was amplified with universal primers for the mitochondrial gene COI, and specific primers targeting the mitochondrial gene 16S gene of arthropods and the mitochondrial gene 16S of Chordata. Following high-throughput DNA sequencing with the MiSeq run (Illumina), up to 4,124,464 reads were obtained and 234,090 reads of prey were successfully identified in 96.87 and 81.25% of octopus and squid paralarvae, respectively. Overall, we identified 122 Molecular Taxonomic Units (MOTUs) belonging to several taxa of decapods, copepods, euphausiids, amphipods, echinoderms, molluscs, and hydroids. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed seasonal and spatial variability in the diet of O. vulgaris and spatial variability in A. media diet. General Additive Models (GAM) of the most frequently detected prey families of O. vulgaris revealed seasonal variability of the presence of copepods (family Paracalanidae) and ophiuroids (family Euryalidae), spatial variability in presence of crabs (family Pilumnidae) and preference in small individual octopus paralarvae for cladocerans (family Sididae) and ophiuroids. No statistically significant variation in the occurrences of the most frequently identified families was revealed in A. media. Overall, these results provide new clues about dietary preferences of wild cephalopod paralarvae, thus opening up new scenarios for research on trophic ecology and digestive physiology under controlled conditions.
This project will correct two fish passage fish passage
Fish passage is the ability of fish or other aquatic species to move freely throughout their life to find food, reproduce, and complete their natural migration cycles. Millions of barriers to fish passage across the country are fragmenting habitat and leading to species declines. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Fish Passage Program is working to reconnect watersheds to benefit both wildlife and people.
Learn more about fish passage barriers on a Clallam County owned road within the Sol-Duc watershed on the Olympic Coast. Anton Creek and Cedar Creek cross at mileposts 1.74 and 1.78 of the Bear Creek Road and block nearly 5 miles of field verified anadromous habitat upstream that includes beaver ponds and wetlands. The Anton Creek crossing is a 67% passable round steel culvert, and the Cedar Creek crossing is a 33% passable timber box culvert. Obsolete or poorly designed dams, culverts, stream crossings, and levees keep fish, and other aquatic species from moving freely to feed, migrate, and reproduce. These challenges put fish populations at risk and undermine the health of the rivers.
Wild-type parasite strains showed clearance half-lives averaging 1.78 hours, whereas those with the A675V or C469Y kelch13 mutations had mean half-lives of 3.95 and 3.30 hours, respectively. But half-lives seen in resistant Southeast Asian strains have recently been much longer, with medians approaching 7 hours, Balikagala and colleagues indicated.
