Presencia de Perkinsus marinus en el ambiente y en los moluscos Anadara tuberculosa, Mytella strigata y Crassostrea corteziensis de la costa de Nayarit

Presence of Perkinsus marinus in the environment and in the mollusks Anadara tuberculosa, Mytella strigata and Crassostrea corteziensis from the coast of Nayarit

Naoki Abraham Kawamoto Camacho (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

El parásito Perkinsus marinus cuyo ciclo de vida le permite subsistir en el ambiente y cumplir su ciclo dentro del hospedero es el agente causal de la perkinsosis, letal para Crasssotrea virginica y enlistado por la Organización Mundial de Salud Animal (OMSA). El comercio de ostiones entre el Golfo de México y el Pacífico mexicano ha generado preocupaciones sanitarias al introducir estos moluscos en comunidades costeras del Pacífico. P. marinus formaría parte de la microbiota ambiental y estar en los moluscos bivalvos de estos ambientes. En el presente estudio se emplearon las técnicas PCR, qPCR, secuenciación de amplicones y de próxima generación, así como análisis de microbioma para determinar la presencia de P. marinus en el ambiente y en los moluscos Anadara tuberculosa, Mytella strigata y Crassostrea corteziensis que coexisten en el estero Pozo Chino, Nayarit. Además, se analizaron muestras embebidas en parafina de Tabasco, Veracruz (C. virginica), Nayarit y Sinaloa (C. corteziensis) para realizar comparaciones genotípicas. La prevalencia de infección mediante PCR fue de 86% en ostiones de la zona baja y media del estero, y de 66% en la zona alta, mientras que para M. strigata fue de 2.2% por qPCR. No se detectó a P. marinus en el ambiente ni en A. tuberculosa. La identidad del parásito fue de 86.1 al 100% mediante secuenciación dirigida. Los primers que amplifican productos de 130 pb fueron más eficaces. La no detección del parásito en el entorno se debe a su baja presencia, consecuencia de la baja salinidad, ausencia de infecciones graves y la falta de eventos inusuales de mortalidad, evitando la liberación masiva del parásito en el ambiente. Además, la baja detección en M. strigata y ausencia en A. tuberculosa puede relacionarse con su susceptibilidad. El análisis del microbioma eucariótico mostró a P. marinus como parte de la microbiota en C. corteziensis. En el ambiente los grupos más abundantes fueron copépodos, moluscos, poliquetos y diatomeas. Se requiere profundizar en su estudio en el ambiente y hospederos a lo largo del año para dimensionar mejor el riesgo sanitario que se enfrenta en una zona donde se ha establecido el parásito.

The parasite Perkinsus marinus, whose life cycle allows it to survive in the environment and complete its cycle within the host, is the causative agent of perkinsosis, lethal to Crassostrea virginica, and listed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). The trade of oysters between the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Pacific coast has raised sanitary concerns by introducing these mollusks into coastal communities on the Pacific. In areas where detection has occurred, P. marinus would be part of the environmental microbiota (plankton/sediments) and in coexisting bivalve mollusks. In this study, PCR, Real-Time PCR (qPCR), amplicon sequencing and next-generation sequencing techniques, as well as microbiome analysis, were employed to determine the presence of P. marinus in the environment (plankton and sediments) and in the mollusks Anadara tuberculosa, Mytella strigata, and Crassostrea corteziensis coexisting in the Pozo Chino estuary, Nayarit. Paraffin-embedded samples from Tabasco, Veracruz (C. virginica), Nayarit, and Sinaloa (C. corteziensis) were also analyzed for genotypic comparisons. The infection prevalence through PCR was 86% in oysters from the lower and middle zones of the estuary and 66% in the upper zone, while for M. strigata, it was 2.2% by RT-PCR. P. marinus was not detected in the environment or in A. tuberculosa. Directed sequencing revealed a parasite identity of 86.1 to 100%. Primers amplifying 130 bp products were more effective. The lack of detection of the parasite in the environment is due to its low presence, resulting from low salinity, the absence of records of severe infections, and the lack of unusual mortality events, preventing massive release of the parasite into the environment. Additionally, the isolated detection in M. strigata and absence in A. tuberculosa may be related to their susceptibility. Analysis of eukaryotic microbiomes identified P. marinus as part of the microbiota in C. corteziensis. In the environment, the most abundant groups were copepods, mollusks, polychaetes, and diatoms. Further studies in the environment and hosts throughout the year are required to better understand the health risks in an area where the parasite has become established.

Los Sistemas de Información Geográfica y la vulnerabilidad social.

SALVADOR VILLERIAS SALINAS (2022, [Capítulo de libro])

En el espacio geográfico concurren diversos procesos naturales y sociales: geológicos, hidrológicos, tecnológicos y provocados por el hombre, que pueden provocar cierto riesgo en la población. En este contexto, la forma de evaluarlo se relaciona con el estudio de la amenaza y la vulnerabilidad. Todo esto se encuentra inmerso en complejos procesos (Hilhorst y Bankoff, 2004) que se insertan en la intersección de la relación entre la sociedad y la naturaleza.

Conjuntos de dinoflagelados del Cretácico Inferior de Colombia

Assemblages of dinoflagellate from the Lower Cretaceous of Colombia

Maribel Reyes Tixteco (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

Los dinoflagelados se usan como indicadores en investigaciones ecológicas y son uno de los principales causantes de toxicidad en florecimientos algales nocivos (FANs). Estas microalgas producen quistes resistentes y fosilizables, los cuales son muy útiles como indicadores bioestratigráficos y paleoecológicos. Los dinoflagelados del Cretácico han sido ampliamente estudiados en estratos de latitudes medias y altas, pero los conjuntos tropicales casi no han sido estudiados. Para ayudar a remediar esta falta de conocimiento, se estudiaron cuantitativamente y cualitativamente el contenido de dinoflagelados de 50 muestras de núcleos de los pozos ANH-CR-MONTECARLO-1X y ANH-CON-06-ST-S, localizados en Colombia. La edad de la sedimentación en ambos pozos se interpreta como Albiano, aunque hay un poco de incertidumbre en la edad de inicio. Los taxones heterotróficos tienen menor riqueza de especies, pero presentan mayor abundancia, mientras que los autótrofos tienen mayor riqueza de especies pero menor abundancia. En el pozo ANH-CR-MONTECARLO-1X se identificaron 20 géneros y 24 especies, con altos valores de concentración total de 1,441.00 qst / gr sed, en la muestra IIES-PALY-6015 por la presencia de Subtilisphaera y 1,036.88 en la muestra IIES-PALY-6021 dominada por Muderongia. Dichas muestras son correlacionables con dos transgresiones marinas, del Albiano tardío (104.4 Ma) y el Albiano temprano (111 Ma) respectivamente. Además, indican que los ensamblajes de quistes en este pozo, están dominados por formas Peridinoideas y Ceratioideas. En el pozo ANH-CON-06-ST-S se encontraron 16 géneros y 15 especies, con un valor máximo de 3,539.62 qst / gr sed en la muestra IIES-PALY-5995 por el alto contenido de Subtilisphaera, y correlacionable con la transgresión marina del Albiano tardío (104.4 Ma). Los ensamblajes de quistes en este pozo, están dominados por las formas Peridinoideas. La litología y el contenido de palinomorfos de los pozos indican un ambiente nerítico interno (NI) a transicional (T), con mayor aporte de terrígenos en el pozo ANH-CON-06-ST-S. Se propone un clima cálido para el Cretácico Inferior por la alta diversidad de taxones autótrofos característicos de aguas cálidas y estratificadas.

Dinoflagellates produce resistant and fossilizable cysts, which are useful as biostratigraphic and paleoecological indicators. These microalgae are used as indicators in ecological studies and are one of the main causes of toxicity in harmful algal blooms (HABs). Cretaceous dinoflagellates have been extensively studied in mid- and high-latitude strata, but tropical assemblages have hardly been studied. To help remedy this lack of knowledge, the dinoflagellate content of 50 core samples from the ANH-CR-MONTECARLO-1X and ANH-CON-06-ST-S wells, located in Colombia, were quantitatively and qualitatively studied. The age of sedimentation in both wells is interpreted as Albian, although there is some uncertainty in the beginning of the depositional age. Heterotrophic taxa have lower species richness but higher abundance, while autotrophs have higher species richness but lower abundance. In the ANH-CR-MONTECARLO-1X well, 20 genera and 24 species were identified, with high total concentration values of 1,441.00 cst / gr sed, in the IIES-PALY-6015 sample, due to the presence of Subtilisphaera and 1,036.88 in the IIES sample -PALY-6021, dominated by Muderongia. These samples are correlable with two marine transgressions, from the late Albian (104.4 Ma) and early Albian (111 Ma) respectively. Furthermore, they indicate that the cyst assemblages in this well are dominated by hetrotrophic forms. In the ANH-CON-06-ST-S well, 16 genera and 15 species were found, with a maximum value of 3,539.62 qst / gr sed in the IIES-PALY-5995 sample due to the high content of Subtilisphaera, and correlated with the transgression marina from the late Albian (104.4 Ma). The cyst assemblages in this well are also dominated by the heterotrophic forms. The lithology and palynomorph content of the wells indicate an internal neritic (NI) to transitional (T) environment, with a higher terrigenous influx in the ANH-CON-06-ST-S well. A warm climate is proposed for the Lower Cretaceous due to the high diversity of autotrophic taxa characteristic of warm and stratified waters.

Phylogenetic relationships of Pseudo-nitzschia subpacifica (Bacillariophyceae) from the Mexican Pacific, and its production of domoic acid in culture

Sonia Quijano (2020, [Artículo])

Pseudo-nitzschia is a cosmopolitan genus, some species of which can produce domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxin responsible for the Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP). In this study, we identified P. subpacifica for the first time in Todos Santos Bay and Manzanillo Bay, in the Mexican Pacific using SEM and molecular methods. Isolates from Todos Santos Bay were cultivated under conditions of phosphate sufficiency and deficiency at 16°C and 22°C to evaluate the production of DA. This toxin was detected in the particulate (DAp) and dissolved (DAd) fractions of the cultures during the exponential and stationary phases of growth of the cultures. The highest DA concentration was detected during the exponential phase grown in cells maintained in P-deficient medium at 16°C (1.14 ± 0.08 ng mL-1 DAd and 4.71 ± 1.11 × 10−5 ng cell-1 of DAp). In P-sufficient cultures DA was higher in cells maintained at 16°C (0.25 ± 0.05 ng mL-1 DAd and 9.41 ± 1.23 × 10−7 ng cell-1 of DAp) than in cells cultured at 22°C. Therefore, we confirm that P. subpacifica can produce DA, especially under P-limited conditions that could be associated with extraordinary oceanographic events such as the 2013–2016 "Blob" in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. This event altered local oceanographic conditions and possibly generated the presence of potential harmful species in areas with economic importance on the Mexican Pacific coast. © 2020 Quijano-Scheggia et al.

Protein retention assessment of four levels of poultry by-product substitution of fishmeal in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diets using stable isotopes of nitrogen (δ15N) as natural tracers

DANIEL BADILLO ZAPATA (2014, [Artículo])

This is second part from an experiment where the nitrogen retention of poultry by-product meal (PBM) compared to fishmeal (FM) was evaluated using traditional indices. Here a quantitative method using stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (δ15N values) as natural tracers of nitrogen incorporation into fish biomass is assessed. Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed for 80 days on isotopically distinct diets in which 0, 33, 66 and 100% of FM as main protein source was replaced by PBM. The diets were isonitrogenous, isolipidic and similar in gross energy content. Fish in all treatments reached isotopic equilibrium by the end of the experiment. Two-source isotope mixing models that incorporated the isotopic composition of FM and PBM as well as that of formulated feeds, empirically derived trophic discrimination factors and the isotopic composition of fish that had reached isotopic equilibrium to the diets were used to obtain a quantitative estimate of the retention of each source of nitrogen. Fish fed the diets with 33 and 66% replacement of FM by PBM retained poultry by-product meal roughly in proportion to its level of inclusion in the diets, whereas no differences were detected in the protein efficiency ratio. Coupled with the similar biomass gain of fishes fed the different diets, our results support the inclusion of PBM as replacement for fishmeal in aquaculture feeds. A re-feeding experiment in which all fish were fed a diet of 100% FM for 28 days indicated isotopic turnover occurred very fast, providing further support for the potential of isotopic ratios as tracers of the retention of specific protein sources into fish tissues. Stable isotope analysis is a useful tool for studies that seek to obtain quantitative estimates of the retention of different protein sources. © 2014 Badillo et al.

El verdín y sus implicaciones en los cenotes de Yucatán

Juan Manuel Arana Ravell (2022, [Artículo])

La población nativa yucateca ha utilizado el término “verdín” para referirse a los crecimientos masivos de algas microscópicas en paredes o en los cenotes, siendo estos últimos los cuerpos de agua predominantes de la región. Su constante aparición en estos ecosistemas acuáticos no solo representa una alteración de su estado estético, sino una potencial amenaza al recurso hídrico, del cual la población hace uso.

Rapid effects of marine reserves via larval dispersal

Richard Cudney Bueno (2009, [Artículo])

Marine reserves have been advocated worldwide as conservation and fishery management tools. It is argued that they can protect ecosystems and also benefit fisheries via density-dependent spillover of adults and enhanced larval dispersal into fishing areas. However, while evidence has shown that marine reserves can meet conservation targets, their effects on fisheries are less understood. In particular, the basic question of if and over what temporal and spatial scales reserves can benefit fished populations via larval dispersal remains unanswered. We tested predictions of a larval transport model for a marine reserve network in the Gulf of California, Mexico, via field oceanography and repeated density counts of recently settled juvenile commercial mollusks before and after reserve establishment. We show that local retention of larvae within a reserve network can take place with enhanced, but spatially-explicit, recruitment to local fisheries. Enhancement occurred rapidly (2 yrs), with up to a three-fold increase in density of juveniles found in fished areas at the downstream edge of the reserve network, but other fishing areas within the network were unaffected. These findings were consistent with our model predictions. Our findings underscore the potential benefits of protecting larval sources and show that enhancement in recruitment can be manifested rapidly. However, benefits can be markedly variable within a local seascape. Hence, effects of marine reserve networks, positive or negative, may be overlooked when only focusing on overall responses and not considering finer spatially-explicit responses within a reserve network and its adjacent fishing grounds. Our results therefore call for future research on marine reserves that addresses this variability in order to help frame appropriate scenarios for the spatial management scales of interest. © 2009 Cudney-Bueno et al.

Dispersión horizontal y vertical en un modelo idealizado de la circulación inducida por el viento

Horizontal and vertical dispersion in an idealized wind-driven circulation model

José Rodrigo Barrientos Valencia (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

El estudio de la dispersión de materia flotante en el océano es fundamental para abordar problemas contemporáneos, como la contaminación por desechos y la distribución de nutrientes. Sin embargo, la distribución superficial horizontal no captura completamente la complejidad del problema, ya que muchos contaminantes, incluidos los plásticos, tienden a hundirse debido a la desintegración o a la adhesión de materiales que alteran su densidad. Este estudio se centra en la dispersión horizontal y vertical de trazadores pasivos en un océano turbulento impulsado por el viento. Se utilizan partículas sintéticas que son advectadas por un modelo Lagrangiano resolviendo la trayectoria de cada partícula mediante un método Runge-Kutta de 4 ◦ orden. Se exploran cuatro mecanismos de dispersión: (i) corrientes geostróficas a gran escala según el modelo clásico de Stommel, (ii) velocidad de Ekman, (iii) difusividad turbulenta debida a movimientos de submesoescala (simulados con una caminata aleatoria), y (iv) efectos inerciales relacionados con el tamaño y la flotabilidad del trazador. El estudio se divide en dos partes: primero, se examina la dispersión horizontal en superficie, y después se aborda el caso tridimensional mediante la inmersión de trazadores por bombeo de Ekman. Los principales resultados son: 1) con la deriva superficial de Ekman, las partículas convergen hacia una región alrededor del centro del giro de Stommel; sin embargo, dicha convergencia disminuye a medida que aumentan los efectos de la turbulencia; 2) considerando los efectos inerciales, aumentar la flotabilidad o el tamaño de las partículas provoca una convergencia mayor que la producida por la deriva de Ekman; 3) al incluir la velocidad vertical negativa, una baja difusividad turbulenta permite que los trazadores alcancen mayores profundidades porque permanecen más tiempo en regiones de mayor hundimiento.

The study of floating material dispersion in the ocean is crucial for addressing contemporary issues such as waste pollution and nutrient distribution. However, the horizontal surface distribution does not fully capture the complexity of the problem. Many pollutants, including plastics, tend to sink due to the disintegration or adhesion of materials altering their density. This study focuses on the horizontal and vertical dispersion of passive tracers in a turbulent, wind-driven ocean. Synthetic particles are advected using a Lagrangian model, with each particle’s trajectory solved using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Four dispersion mechanisms are explored: (i) large-scale geostrophic currents based on the Stommel’s classical model, (ii) Ekman velocity, (iii) turbulent diffusivity due to submesoscale motions (simulated with a random walk), and (iv) inertial effects related to the tracer’s size and buoyancy. The study is divided into two parts: first, horizontal dispersion at the surface is examined, and then the three-dimensional scenario is addressed by immersing tracers through Ekman pumping. The key findings are as follows: 1) with surface Ekman drift, particles converge around the center of the Stommel gyre; however, this convergence decreases as turbulence effects increase; 2) considering inertial effects, increasing buoyancy or particle size results in greater convergence than that caused by Ekman drift; 3) when the vertical velocity is included, a low turbulent diffusivity allows tracers to reach greater depths because they remain longer times in regions of greater sinking.
