“…The early life stages of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) have been widely used as biological model in ecotoxicological studies [32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. In the present work, they have been used to assess the effects of pure active glyphosate, the herbicide Roundup, and the main glyphosate degradation product, AMPA.…”

Despite the widespread use of herbicide glyphosate in cultivation, its extensive runoff into rivers and to coastal areas, and the persistence of this chemical and its main degradation product (aminomethylphosphonic acid, AMPA) in the environment, there is still little information on the potential negative effects of glyphosate, its commercial formulation Roundup® and AMPA on marine species. This study was conducted with the aim of providing a comparative evaluation of the effects of glyphosate-based and its derived chemicals on the larval development of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, thus providing new data to describe the potential ecotoxicity of these contaminants. In particular, the effects on larval development, growth and metabolism were assessed during 48 h of exposure from the time of egg fertilization. The results confirm that AMPA and its parent compound, glyphosate have similar toxicity, as observed in other marine invertebrates. However, interestingly, the Roundup® formulation seemed to be less toxic than the glyphosate alone.

“…Alternating patterns of local velocity and turbulence can change local sediment dynamics by a few tenths of a millimetre (to a few millimetres) per month (Nagel et al, 2018) and influence sediment transport at local and regional scales (Rivier et al, 2016). The re‐suspension of sediments can enhance the release of persistent pollutants, thus increasing the risk of bioaccumulation in fishes (Brinkmann et al, 2021) and interrupting the ontogenetic development of benthic biota (Chiarore et al, 2020; Milito et al, 2020). The bioaccumulation of persistent pollutants in fishes also increases health risks to apex predators such as the humpback dolphin.…”

Unstated impacts of the green energy industry on the habitat of a coastal delphinid: Turbid‐turbulent wakes induced by offshore wind turbine foundations

1. Offshore wind farms (OWFs) are a green energy solution to reducing CO 2 emissions, but often encroach on major habitats of coastal delphinids. Clustered OWF construction in shallow waters may have cumulative negative impacts on coastal delphinids and marine ecosystems. Although the impacts of piling noise have been discussed extensively, the potential impacts of oceanographic alterations induced by wind turbine foundations are rarely discussed. 2. Two OWFs were constructed near the core habitat of a critically endangered subspecies of humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis taiwanensis) in the eastern Taiwan Strait. Turbid-turbulent wakes induced by wind turbine foundations were inspected using Landsat images. Sighting rates of the humpback dolphin that were obtained from boat-based line-transect surveys near the northern OWF (OWFn) since the late 2000s were examined. 3. Indicators of surface turbidity were used to highlight turbid-turbulent wakes extending in the direction of the main current. Sighting rates of the humpback dolphins near the OWFn have been declining since the 2000s, but decreased significantly after the OWFn was constructed and began operating. 4. The long-term decline in sighting rates implies an alarming decline in the population size of humpback dolphins. Decreased sighting rates after the OWFn installation indicate the reduced utilization of a once-important habitat. Offshore wind farm construction may influence prey abundance and composition and cause acute stress from piling noise; operational noise may mask the chorus of prey fish and turbid-turbulent wakes may disturb the benthic ecosystem. 5. Site selection committees for future OWFs should avoid the habitats of coastal delphinids and areas subject to strong ocean currents. Ecological impact assessments for OWF projects should examine the impacts of turbulent wakes on benthic ecosystems and of acoustic disturbance on marine mammals. Long-term environmental monitoring programmes are recommended, which can be funded by wind energy companies as a compensatory measure.

“…This group of animals in the marine invertebrate phylum is classified as multifunctional. Sea urchins have a role as a source of nutritious food [9], supporting ecosystem balance [9,10], marine bioindicators [11], economic commodities, model organisms [12][13][14] and ornamental organisms, as well as important organisms for sharing scientific studies. This great benefit has not received much attention in our country, including in BHS and in some cases sea urchins are threatened due to overfishing or other factors [15,16].…”

The DNA barcoding of COI gene has been used for molecular identification of the numerous individuals of sea urchin present in Bird’s Head Seascape (BHS) Papua in Indonesia. We extracted, sequenced, and analysed DNA of a total of 29 individuals collected from Raja Ampat, Rumberpon, Fakfak and Manokwari. The fragment gene of cytochrome oxidase subunit 1, were amplified with polymerase chain reaction by using coif and coitri primers. Total 570 base pairs nucleotide from each sample were analysed with MEGA X. The results of sample sequence homology with the GenBank and BOLD System databases show that some samples can be identified at the species level, and some samples can only be identified at the genus level. The phylogenetic tree results show that all samples are separated into two large clades.
