“…Anyway, as mussel beds are ecosystem-engineers that harbour a great number of individuals and species and provide many ecosystem services to mankind [e.g. 28,29], urbanisation can also have indirect effects on communities associated with mussels and ultimately to human welfare. In this way, evaluating the vulnerability of mussel beds may support assessment and management concerning not only them but also their associated communities and the human welfare.…”

“…Trampling and removal of M. californianus for bait by fisherman also diminished cover, density, biomass and size of mussels in California [26]. M. galloprovincialis is a species ecologically and economically relevant providing many ecosystem services as supporting (habitat for species, lifecycle maintenance, biodiversity), provisioning (food), regulating (water filtration, coastal protection) and cultural services (recreational fishing, symbolic) [27][28][29]. As mussel beds contribute to ecosystem function and the delivery of ecosystem services, understanding of their sensitivity to urbanisation may help to its management.…”

The role of urbanisation in affecting Mytilus galloprovincialis

Urbanisation is considered as one of the most critical and widespread threats to coastal marine ecosystems. The aim of this study was to compare the density, percentage cover, thickness of clumps, condition index and size-frequency distribution of Mytilus galloprovincialis between urban and non-urban shores, at nested spatial scales, in the Northern Portuguese coast. M. galloprovincialis was selected as model because it is economically and ecologically relevant. Moreover, the relationship between mussel size and the other variables (i.e. density, percentage cover, thickness and condition index) were investigated. Mussels on urban shores showed a smaller density and a greater frequency of larger individuals. A significant negative correlation between mussel length with density and with thickness of clumps was also found. Our results seem to indicate that recruitment has declined on urban shores and, as a result, intraspecific competition is also smaller, leading to more resources being available for a fewer individuals which can reach larger sizes. As mussel beds support a great biodiversity of invertebrates and provide many ecosystem services, urbanisation may have indirect effects on communities associated with mussels. Understanding the vulnerability of mussel beds to urbanisation could inform management.

“…Estuaries (EU habitats code 1130) of different size are also typical for the area. The natural forests of primary succession stages of land upheaval coast (EU habitat code 9030) are typical for the terrestrial part of the coast (UNEP WCMC; Gundersen et al, 2017).…”

“…Typical for the flads and gloes is that the water temperature rises faster than in the surrounding sea in spring. These coastal lagoons are important habitats for water vegetation, especially for Charophytes and for many spring-spawning fish species (Gundersen et al, 2017). Another important habitat in shallow and sheltered areas is Potamogeton and Myriophyllum meadows.…”

Genetic heterogeneity of two bioeconomically important kelp species along the Norwegian coast

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

25Knowledge of genetic diversity among wild populations is becoming increasingly important as more species are 26 recognized for their bioeconomic value. Industrialization of natural resources, such as kelp in the marine 27 shallow sublittoral zone through cultivation and wild-harvesting, may lead to extensive translocation and local 28 population decimation. Without adequate resilience in the form of genetic diversity within and across 29 populations and given the potential introduction of deleterious alleles from translocations, such 30 anthropogenically pressured populations may not be able to sufficiently respond to future climate and other 31 stressors. Here we provide an assessment of the genetic heterogeneity of two bioeconomically important kelp 32 species, Laminaria hyperborea and Saccharina latissima, across the Norwegian coastal region from South 33 (57°N) to North (78°N), by applying microsatellite genotyping. Isolation by distance was found for both kelp 34 species when comparing genetic distance to geographic distance. L. hyperborea clustered into four distinct 35 genetic groups corresponding to distinct geographical ecoregions, whereas S. latissima did not show equally 36 strong geographical structuring but separated into three geographical clusters along the Norwegian coast. No 37 genetic differentiation was found within the Norwegian Skagerrak region, corroborating previous findings. The 38 identified genetic clustering of both kelp species supports the retention of established management regions along 39the Norwegian coast and argues for the continuation of a regional focused management plan for kelp resources. 40 2 Further, the results demonstrate that care should be taken to prevent translocation of kelp between ecoregions in 41 the ongoing industrialization of kelp cultivation, to maintain a healthy coastal ecosystem and sound natural 42 population genetic diversity. 43 44
