abstract = {Background Coastal lagoons are ecosystems of major importance as they host a number of species tolerant to disturbances and they are highly productive. Therefore, these ecosystems should be protected to ensure stability and resilience. The lagoons of Amvrakikos Gulf form one of the most important lagoonal complexes in Greece. The optimal ecological status of these lagoons is crucial for the well-being of the biodiversity and the economic prosperity of the local communities. Thus, monitoring of the area is necessary to detect possible sources of disturbance and restore stability. New information The environmental variables and heavy metals concentrations, from five lagoons of Amvrakikos Gulf were measured from seasonal samplings and compared to the findings of previous studies in the area, in order to check for possible sources of disturbance. The analysis, showed that i) the values of the abiotic parameters vary with time (season), space (lagoon) and with space over time; ii) the variability of the environmental factors and enrichment in certain elements is naturally induced and no source of contamination is detected in the lagoons. © Vasileiadou K et al.},

abstract = {Lagoons are naturally enriched habitats, with unstable environmental conditions caused by their confinement, shallow depth and state of saprobity. The frequent fluctuations of the abiotic variables cause severe changes in the abundance and distribution of biota. This relationship has been studied extensively for the macrofaunal communities, but not sufficiently so for the bacterial ones. The aim of the present study was to explore the biodiversity patterns of bacterial assemblages and to examine whether these patterns are associated with biogeographic and environmental factors. For this purpose, sediment samples were collected from five lagoons located in the Amvrakikos Gulf (Ionian Sea, Western Greece). DNA was extracted from the sediment and was further processed through 16S rRNA pyrosequencing. The results of this exploratory study imply that salinity is the environmental factor best correlated with the bacterial community pattern, which has also been suggested in similar studies but for macrofaunal community patterns. In addition, the bacterial community of the brackish lagoons is differentiated from that of the brackish-marine lagoons. The findings of this study indicate that the studied lagoons have distinct bacterial communities. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Background This article describes the digitization of a series of historical datasets based ?n the reports of the 1908-1910 Danish Oceanographical Expeditions to the Mediterranean and adjacent seas. All station and sampling metadata as well as biodiversity data regarding calcareous rhodophytes, pelagic polychaetes, and fish (families Engraulidae and Clupeidae) obtained during these expeditions were digitized within the activities of the LifeWatchGreece Research ?nfrastructure project and presented in the present paper. The aim was to safeguard public data availability by using an open access infrastructure, and to prevent potential loss of valuable historical data on the Mediterranean marine biodiversity. New information The datasets digitized here cover 2,043 samples taken at 567 stations during a time period from 1904 to 1930 in the Mediterranean and adjacent seas. The samples resulted in 1,588 occurrence records of pelagic polychaetes, fish (Clupeiformes) and calcareous algae (Rhodophyta). In addition, basic environmental data (e.g. sea surface temperature, salinity) as well as meterological conditions are included for most sampling events. In addition to the description of the digitized datasets, a detailed description of the problems encountered during the digitization of this historical dataset and a discussion on the value of such data are provided. © Mavraki D et al.},

abstract = {Background During recent years, X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) has seen an increasing use in biological research areas, such as functional morphology, taxonomy, evolutionary biology and developmental research. Micro-CT is a technology which uses X-rays to create submicron resolution images of external and internal features of specimens. These images can then be rendered in a three-dimensional space and used for qualitative and quantitative 3D analyses. However, the online exploration and dissemination of micro-CT datasets are rarely made available to the public due to their large size and a lack of dedicated online platforms for the interactive manipulation of 3D data. Here, the development of a virtual micro-CT laboratory (Micro-CTvlab ) is described, which can be used by everyone who is interested in digitisation methods and biological collections and aims at making the micro- CT data exploration of natural history specimens freely available over the internet. New information The Micro-CTvlab offers to the user virtual image galleries of various taxa which can be displayed and downloaded through a web application. With a few clicks, accurate, detailed and three-dimensional models of species can be studied and virtually dissected without destroying the actual specimen. The data and functions of the Micro-CTvlab can be accessed either on a normal computer or through a dedicated version for mobile devices. © Keklikoglou K et al.},

abstract = {Hydrothermal vents represent a deep, hot, aphotic biosphere where chemosynthetic primary producers, fuelled by chemicals from Earth's subsurface, form the basis of life. In this study, we examined microbial mats from two distinct volcanic sites within the Hellenic Volcanic Arc (HVA). The HVA is geologically and ecologically unique, with reported emissions of CO2 -saturated fluids at temperatures up to 220°C and a notable absence of macrofauna. Metagenomic data reveals highly complex prokaryotic communities composed of chemolithoautotrophs, some methanotrophs, and to our surprise, heterotrophs capable of anaerobic degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons. Our data suggest that aromatic hydrocarbons may indeed be a significant source of carbon in these sites, and instigate additional research into the nature and origin of these compounds in the HVA. Novel physiology was assigned to several uncultured prokaryotic lineages; most notably, a SAR406 representative is attributed with a role in anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation. This dataset, the largest to date from submarine volcanic ecosystems, constitutes a significant resource of novel genes and pathways with potential biotechnological applications.},

Six hundred (600) fish (average weight 21.21 ± 0.06SD g) were divided into 8 groups (triplicate treatments) and fed eight isoenergetic fishmeal-based diets, (C-control, L-lecithin, N-nucleosides, K-krill, L+N-lecithin+nucleosides, N+K-nucleosides+krill, L+K-lecithin+krill, L+N+K-lecithin+nucleosides+krill). The effects of the dietary regimes were evaluated in terms of specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), daily feed intake (DFI), and whole body chemical composition (moisture, crude ash, crude protein and crude lipid). At the end the trial the fish had tripled their initial weight. SGR, FCR and DFI were 1.17-1.24 %, 0.95-1.01, and 1.03-1.14% respectively. Although differences were observed between some groups, none of the tested feed additives improved SGR, FCR, and DFI, compared to the control diet. Analysis of whole body proximate composition showed that moisture, crude ash, crude protein, and crude lipid ranged 61.45-64.00%, 3.96-4.26%, 15.44-17.26% and 14.87-18.82% respectively. Crude lipid concentration was higher in whole body of fish fed the nucleoside supplemented diet compared to control, lecithin, and krill groups. No other effects of the dietary regime on the whole body composition of sharpshout sea bream were observed. © 2016, Israeli Journal of Aquaculture - Bamidgeh. All rights reserved.},

abstract = {Two trials were carried out on European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) juveniles to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of a full-fat Tenebrio molitor (TM) larvae meal. A first growth trail was performed on 450 European sea bass using three isonitrogenous and isolipidic experimental diets (3 tanks/diet, 50 fish/tank) formulated to contain increasing levels of TM meal inclusion and precisely: 0 (TM0), 25 (TM25) and 50% (TM50) as fed basis. The performances, proximate body composition and fatty acid (FA) profile of whole fish fed the experimental diets were evaluated. A digestibility trial was then conducted on 180 fish to evaluate the in vivo apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of diets having 25% of TM inclusion in absence (TMD) or presence of exogenous enzymes (Carbohydrases, TM-Carb; Proteases, TM-Prot) compared to a fish meal based control diet (CD). The growth trial results showed that the highest inclusion level (TM50) led to a worsening of final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, and feeding rate if compared to the control diet (TM0). Regarding the whole body composition, crude protein and ether extract were not significantly influenced by the use of TM, while changes were observed in the FA profile. In particular, C18:2 n6 increased (+91% and +173% in TM25 and TM50, respectively vs TM0) with the inclusion of TM while sharp decreases of C20:5 n3 (−30% and −58% in TM25 and TM50, respectively vs TM0) and C22:6 n3 (−35% and −67% respectively vs TM0) were highlighted. Consequently, the ∑ n3/∑ n6 FA ratio showed a significant decrease (−63% and −84% in TM25 and TM50, respectively vs TM0). As far as digestibility trial is concerned, the crude protein ADC of the fish fed TMD was significantly higher than that of the fish fed CD (92.31 vs 89.97, respectively). The supplementation of digestive enzymes did not improve the protein and ADF digestibility. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {The microbial and molecular ecology research communities have made substantial progress on developing standards for annotating samples with environment metadata. However, sample manual annotation is a highly labor intensive process and requires familiarity with the terminologies used. We have therefore developed an interactive annotation tool, EXTRACT, which helps curators identify and extract standard-compliant terms for annotation of metagenomic records and other samples. Behind its web-based user interface, the system combines published methods for named entity recognition of environment, organism, tissue and disease terms. The evaluators in the BioCreative V Interactive Annotation Task found the system to be intuitive, useful, well documented and sufficiently accurate to be helpful in spotting relevant text passages and extracting organism and environment terms. Comparison of fully manual and text-mining-assisted curation revealed that EXTRACT speeds up annotation by 15-25% and helps curators to detect terms that would otherwise have been missed. © The Author(s) 2016.},

abstract = {The present study examines the genetic diversity (using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I [COI] haplotypes) of polychaete Hediste diversicolor populations in the Amvrakikos Gulf (western Greece) in order to test Cognetti’s hypothesis on the formation of distinct isolated populations of species living in stressed transitional water habitats. To this purpose, the intraspecific diversity of H. diversicolor and the similarities among its populations in the brackish water habitats of the Eastern Mediterranean were investigated. Samples were collected from the lagoonal complex of Am - vrakikos Gulf in 2010 and 2011. Analysis showed that populations in the Amvrakikos Gulf share unique haplotypes which are distinct from the haplotypes hitherto reported, suggesting that these populations are highly isolated. This evidence partially supports Cognetti’s hypothesis. The results indicate that the genetic differentiation in the studied populations was probably caused by the complete isolation of the gulf and periodic hypoxic conditions during its formation history. The occurrence of unique haplotypes in the gulf underlines the importance of considering genetic diversity in the design of long-term biodiversity management and conservation plans. © The authors 2016.},

abstract = {Background Over the last decade, inventorying and monitoring of marine biodiversity has significantly benefited from the active engagement of volunteers. Although several Citizen Science projects concern tropical reef ecosystems worldwide, none of the existing initiatives has yet specifically focused on their Mediterranean equivalents. Mediterranean coralline reefs, known as "coralligenous", are bioherms primarily built by calcifying rhodophytes on hard substrates under dim-light conditions; they are considered hotspots of biodiversity and are extremely popular among divers due to their complex structure, conspicuous biological wealth and high aesthetic value. Nevertheless, data on their distribution, structure and conservation status is lacking for several Mediterranean areas while they are vulnerable to an increasing number of threats. New information In the framework of CIGESMED SeasEra (ERAnet) project a specialized Citizen Science project was launched, aiming to engage enthusiast divers in the study and monitoring of Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages through the gathering of basic information regarding their spatial occurrence, assemblage structure and associated pressures or threats. For its active implementation, a data collection protocol and a multilingual website were developed, comprising an educational module and a data submission platform. Georeferenced data reporting focuses on: (a) basic topographic and abiotic features for the preliminary description of each site, and the creation of data series for sites receiving multiple visits; (b) presence and relative abundance of typical conspicuous species, as well as (c) existence of pressures and imminent threats, for the characterization and assessment of coralligenous assemblages. A variety of tools is provided to facilitate end users, while divers have the choice to report additional information and are encouraged to upload their photographs. The long-term goal is the development of an active community of amateur observers providing widespread and ecologically significant data on coralligenous assemblages. © Gerovasileiou V et al.},

abstract = {Environmental change can alter both species distribution range patterns at a regional scale and their feeding habits at a local scale. While several studies have highlighted the mechanisms driving such changes separately, little is known on their combined effect on the local communities. In this manuscript, we used both feeding and distributional traits of macro-benthic species and examined their combined response across an environmental gradient induced by an aquaculture unit. Our results mainly suggest that specialized predators with narrow geographic distributions and niches were more sensitive to environmental change than the less specialized groups. Moreover, under harsh environmental conditions, predatory species with a wide dispersion capacity can sustain viable populations through niche generalization. In contrast, in areas of low environmental disturbance, predatory species with a more restricted dispersal capability (i.e. some endemic species) can coexist via niche differentiation. In this context, our findings contribute towards a better understanding of benthic communities’ functional response to environmental change and may be of use in environmental impact assessment. © 2015, Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.},

abstract = {The Greek Taxon Information System is an initiative of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) that is resuming efforts to compile a complete checklist of all species reported from the Greek territory. Such an effort is necessary as a requirement for all signatories of the Convention on Biological Diversity (Greece is a signatory since 1994). Over an estimation published in 2004 according to which 50,000 species are present in Greece, belonging to most kingdoms except bacteria and viruses, a list of 35,000 valid species (and subspecies) has been assembled from previous national and European initiatives and specialized databases on various groups. A new database will be progressively set up in the LifeWatchGreece Infrastructure within the near future. Before the dissemination of this dataset, it is important that the checklists will be validated by specialists for each taxonomic group. The first step already accomplished was to build and publish Preliminary Checklists for some taxonomic groups of marine fauna, which have been validated by specialists on the basis of their expertise and secondary literature. The publication of these Preliminary Checklists is expected to increase the visibility and usability of the database in the future not only to the scientific community but also to the broader domain of biodiversity management, especially in cases where no such checklists have been published yet. The guidelines used to test the first taxonomic groups are presented in this paper. © Bailly N et al.},

Sixty-two years following their first application and 9 years after the complete ban on their use as biocides in 2003 (EC No. 782/2003), their negative impact on mollusks was still evident, as illustrated by imposex (i.e. the masculinization of female gastropods). This phenomenon is widely used to investigate tributyltin (TBT) pollution, with Hexaplex trunculus and Nassarius nitidus being considered as sensitive bioindicators. H. trunculus specimens and sediment samples collected from the ports of Cagliari (Sardinia), El Kantaoui (Tunisia) and Olhão (Portugal), along with N. nitidus individuals from the port of Faro (Portugal), were used for the assessment of imposex intensity and organotin pollution in these areas. High imposex frequency and organotin concentrations (TBT, triphenyltin (TPhT) and their degradation products) were observed, especially in Sardinia, implying that these chemicals remain a significant pollution issue in the specific Mediterranean ports. Moreover, the highly significant relationship established between penis length of imposex-affected females H. trunculus and TBT/TPhT concentrations offers a rapid and nonsacrificial proxy model for assessing the impact of organotins in coastal environments. Finally, the complementary use of more than one TBT bioindicator is advised in order to obtain more accurate results in detailed monitoring studies of TBT pollution. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Background Parallel data manipulation using R has previously been addressed by members of the R community, however most of these studies produce ad hoc solutions that are not readily available to the average R user. Our targeted users, ranging from the expert ecologist/ microbiologists to computational biologists, often experience difficulties in finding optimal ways to exploit the full capacity of their computational resources. In addition, improving performance of commonly used R scripts becomes increasingly difficult especially with large datasets. Furthermore, the implementations described here can be of significant interest to expert bioinformaticians or R developers. Therefore, our goals can be summarized as: (i) description of a complete methodology for the analysis of large datasets by combining capabilities of diverse R packages, (ii) presentation of their application through a virtual R laboratory (RvLab) that makes execution of complex functions and visualization of results easy and readily available to the end-user. New information In this paper, the novelty stems from implementations of parallel methodologies which rely on the processing of data on different levels of abstraction and the availability of these processes through an integrated portal. Parallel implementation R packages, such as the pbdMPI (Programming with Big Data - Interface to MPI) package, are used to implement Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) parallelization on primitive mathematical operations, allowing for interplay with functions of the vegan package. The dplyr and RPostgreSQL R packages are further integrated offering connections to dataframe like objects (databases) as secondary storage solutions whenever memory demands exceed available RAM resources. The RvLab is running on a PC cluster, using version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) on a x86_64-pclinux- gnu (64-bit) platform, and offers an intuitive virtual environmet interface enabling users to perform analysis of ecological and microbial communities based on optimized vegan functions. A beta version of the RvLab is available after registration at: https:// portal.lifewatchgreece.eu/.},

Furthermore there is a plethora of different data sources providing resources for the same piece of information in a heterogeneous way. Even if we restrict our attention to Greek biodiversity domain, it is easy to see that biodiversity data remains unconnected and widely distributed among different sources. New information To cope with these issues, in the context of the LifeWatch Greece project, i) we supported cataloguing and publishing of all the relevant metadata information of the Greek biodiversity domain, ii) we integrated data from heterogeneous sources by supporting the definitions of appropriate models, iii) we provided means for efficiently discovering biodiversity data of interest and iv) we enabled the answering of complex queries that could not be answered from the individual sources.

The number of the relevant projects globally has been increased significantly in the recent years.

Although the need of such projects is apparent, an important part of scientific community cast doubt on the reliability of CS data sets. New information The pilot CS project COMBER has been created in order to provide evidence to answer the aforementioned question in the coastal marine biodiversity monitoring. The results of the current analysis show that a carefully designed CS project with clear hypotheses, wide participation and data sets validation, can be a valuable tool for the large scale and long term changes in marine biodiversity pattern change and therefore for relevant management and conservation issues. © Chatzigeorgiou G et al.},

Two injections of 10 μg/kg body weight of GnRHa given 3 days apart effectively induced ovulation. Within 6 days from the second injection, 80% of the injected fish had ovulated compared to only 10% of the control fish. Mean time to ovulation was reduced significantly (P textless 0.01) from 15.4 days in control fish to 5.9 days in fish injected with 10 μg/kg GnRHa. Ovulated eggs from fish injected with this dose of GnRHa had lower fertility, survival to eyeing (eye-pigment formation stage) and hatching rates compared to eggs from fish injected with lower GnRHa doses or from control fish. Survival from hatch to complete yolk-sac absorption was not affected by GnRHa treatment. Reduction of egg quality was correlated with decreased time to ovulation in both control and GnRHa-treated fish, suggesting that poor egg quality did not result directly from the effects of the hormone on the maturing oocytes. Of the egg quality parameters examined, fertility was the one affected most by early ovulation. It is hypothesized that GnRHa-induced maturation caused a reduction in egg quality by disrupting the timing of final oocyte maturation and ovulation. © 1992.},

Measure of food demand showed that group A refused feeding and declined in vitality and health; group B showed a net preference for 1.35% methionine (considered as optimum); group C was more influenced by spatial preferences. In a second experimental period, the following modifications were introduced: commercial food for sea bass (Aqualim dry pellet) was offered to group A in addition to the five initial diets; for groups B and C changes in spatial distribution of self feeders were introduced. The fish in group A reacted instantly to the introduction of the commercial food which they ate preferentially. Fish of groups B and C maintained behaviour similar to that of the previous period.

On the other hand, during the second period when the fry were self-feeding and free to regulate their feeding pattern, biological data become very good (food conversion ratio 1.95; mortality less than 0.03% day; hydric conversion ratio of 249 m3/kg production).

The food conversion factor decreased with increasing dietary protein level, although not significantly above the level of 24%. Specific growth rates were proportional to the protein content of the diet up to an incorporation rate of about 24%; beyond this level specific growth rates decreased. Protein efficiency ratio and protein retention (%) decreased with increasing dietary protein level, while carcass composition was little affected. High levels of carbohydrate in the diet caused a high glycogen content in the liver, resulting in its enlargement. Mugil capito seems to require about 24% of protein for maximum growth at 23°C.
