Book excerpt: Regular reporting and monitoring of fishery and aquaculture production using genetic information, i.e. using information on stocks, breeds, monosex groups, polyploids, products of modern biotechnology and hybrids, would allow aquaculturists to assess which breeds or strains could be most useful for production, and help fishery managers better manage and trace products from capture fisheries. Genetic information would be useful to both aquaculturists and fishery managers in assessing which stocks are under threat or endangered and in traceability requirements for the origin and handling of aquatic food products. However, the capacity and information requirements for incorporating genetic information into national and global statistics are significant and, in many cases, currently prohibitive. A key source of information for this paper was the reports currently being submitted to the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department by countries as part of the process to produce the first report on The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (SoW AqGR). Through this country-driven process, FAO is receiving information on stocks, varieties, strains and other farmed types that are currently being used in aquaculture and fisheries or that are being actively researched for future use. The country reports will further attempt to include relevant policies and constraints relating to the collection and monitoring of genetic data.

This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conservation, sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources (AqGR) is critical to the future supply of fish. The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is the first ever global assessment of these resources, with the scope of this first Report being limited to cultured AqGR and their wild relatives, within national jurisdiction. The Report draws on 92 reports from FAO member countries and five specially commissioned thematic background studies. The reporting countries are responsible for 96 percent of global aquaculture production. The Report sets the context with a review of the state of world’s aquaculture and fisheries and includes overviews of the uses and exchanges of AqGR, the drivers and trends impacting AqGR and the extent of ex situ and in situ conservation efforts. The Report also investigates the roles of stakeholders in AqGR and the levels of activity in research, education, training and extension, and reviews national policies and the levels of regional and international cooperation on AqGR. Finally, needs and challenges are assessed in the context of the findings from the data collected from the countries. The Report represents a snapshot of the present status of AqGR and forms a valuable technical reference document, particularly where it presents standardized key terminology and concepts.

Download or read book The State of the World's Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State of the World's Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture presents the first global assessment of biodiversity for food and agriculture worldwide. Biodiversity for food and agriculture is the diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms at genetic, species and ecosystem levels, present in and around crop, livestock, forest and aquatic production systems. It is essential to the structure, functions and processes of these systems, to livelihoods and food security, and to the supply of a wide range of ecosystem services. It has been managed or influenced by farmers, livestock keepers, forest dwellers, fish farmers and fisherfolk for hundreds of generations. Prepared through a participatory, country-driven process, the report draws on information from 91 country reports to provide a description of the roles and importance of biodiversity for food and agriculture, the drivers of change affecting it and its current status and trends. It describes the state of efforts to promote the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity for food and agriculture, including through the development of supporting policies, legal frameworks, institutions and capacities. It concludes with a discussion of needs and challenges in the future management of biodiversity for food and agriculture. The report complements other global assessments prepared under the auspices of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which have focused on the state of genetic resources within particular sectors of food and agriculture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The development of the Report was initiated in response to a call from the members of the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture to respond to the urgent need to build global knowledge and raise awareness on the main needs and challenges regarding the conservation, sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources. This global assessment is specifically focused on farmed aquatic species and their wild relatives within national jurisdiction. For the compilation of the SoW-AqGR, FAO invited countries to nominate National Focal Points having the role to coordinate the gathering of information as well as prepare and submit their Country Reports. The Country Reports are based on the Questionnaire for the Preparation of Country Reports. Overall 92 countries responded to the questionnaire and submitted their information. These responding countries cover over 96 percent of global aquaculture production and over 80 percent of global capture fisheries production and include the top 11 major aquaculture producing countries."--Publisher's description.
Book Synopsis Advancing Genetic Analyses and Implementing EDNA Metabarcoding for Invasive Species Detection and Macroinvertebrate Community Composition by : Nathaniel T. Marshall
Download or read book Advancing Genetic Analyses and Implementing EDNA Metabarcoding for Invasive Species Detection and Macroinvertebrate Community Composition written by Nathaniel T. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number and rate of species introductions are rising worldwide, and invasion genetics provides a valuable approach to trace introduction sources and routes over their temporal and spatial courses. Discerning what happens to an exotic species over the evolutionary span of introduction and establishment, over its ecological range and across its life stages offers an intriguing real-life experiment. This Ph.D. dissertation project sought to aid understanding of the population genetics and genomic detection underlying the evolution of the closely-related zebra (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga (D.rostriformis) mussels, by evaluating populations across their > two decade-long temporal invasion courses from two allopatric North American populations in the Hudson River and Lake Erie (Laurentian Great Lakes). Results indicate that temporal divergence has been most pronounced in the zebra mussel's Hudson River population, showing significant allelic turn-over during the middle time-point (2003). This suggests near complete population replacement, with overall genetic diversity levels remaining similar over time. Samples of veliger larvae from the zebra mussel also significantly differed from the local adult population, which appears attributable to gene flow from adjacent areas and possible genetic admixture. Identifying species and population genetic compositions of these biological invasions at early life stages and/or from environmental (e)DNA using targeted high-throughput sequencing (HTS) metabarcode assays offers powerful and cost-effective detection means. This dissertation develops, tests, and applies a targeted assay to analyze genetic variation from a diagnostic sequence region of the mitochondrial (mt)DNA cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene, to assess temporal and spatial inter- and intra-specific genetic variability of invasive zebra and quagga mussels. Experiments evaluated its accuracy and performance using: (i) mock laboratory communities containing known DNA quantities per taxon, (ii) aquaria containing mixed species/haplotype compositions of adults, and (iii) field-collected water and plankton versus traditional sampling of adult communities. Results successfully delineated species compositions, relative abundances, and population-level diversity differences among ecosystems, habitats, time series, and life stages from two allopatric concurrent invasions in Lake Erie and the Hudson River. Species compositions and diversity of macroinvertebrates comprise a primary ocus for monitoring aquatic communities, serving as possible sentinel indicators of ecosystem health. In this study, a suite of targeted metabarcode HTS assays were used to characterize the macroinvertebrate communities from eDNA water samples along the Maumee River. Metabarcode results were compared with a traditional sampling, identification, and enumeration survey done by a government agency (the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency) for multiple alpha (richness, Shannon-Wiener diversity, Simpson's index, and evenness) and beta (Bray-Curtis and Jaccard dissimilarities) diversity measures.Targeted metabarcoding uncovered greater gamma richness, delineating 183 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) versus 173 taxa from the conventional survey. eDNA and traditional sampling data displayed similar trends, showing comparable alpha diversity patterns and community compositions among habitat type and habitat quality scores along the river. Findings illustrate the utility of eDNA sampling and targeted HTS metabarcode assays, to enhance and complement environmental assessment of aquatic ecosystems for invasive species and biodiversity management. In conclusion, this dissertation study sought to help "pave the way" for the growing toolkit of biotechnology in revealing the evolutionary and ecological population changes. It is hoped that these approaches will be useful for helping to conserve, preserve, and improve our aquatic fauna for generations to come.

Download or read book The GEO Handbook on Biodiversity Observation Networks written by Michele Walters and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiversity observation systems are almost everywhere inadequate to meet local, national and international (treaty) obligations. As a result of alarmingly rapid declines in biodiversity in the modern era, there is a strong, worldwide desire to upgrade our monitoring systems, but little clarity on what is actually needed and how it can be assembled from the elements which are already present. This book intends to provide practical guidance to broadly-defined biodiversity observation networks at all scales, but predominantly the national scale and higher. This is a practical how-to book with substantial policy relevance. It will mostly be used by technical specialists with a responsibility for biodiversity monitoring to establish and refine their systems. It is written at a technical level, but one that is not discipline-bound: it should be intelligible to anyone in the broad field with a tertiary education.
