- Aquaculture of Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae and induction of pseudopterosins.
- Creator
- Thornton, Renee S., Florida Atlantic University, Kerr, Russell G.
- Abstract/Description
-
The pseudopterosins are a class of diterpene glycosides isolated from the Caribbean sea whip, Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae. Pseudopterosins A-D possess potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties (ED50 ca. 3.0 mg/kg). There is a large demand in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for pseudopterosin derivatives and presently, the only source of these chemicals is from wild-collected gorgonians. Preliminary experiments were performed to develop a reliable, cost-effective...
Show moreThe pseudopterosins are a class of diterpene glycosides isolated from the Caribbean sea whip, Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae. Pseudopterosins A-D possess potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties (ED50 ca. 3.0 mg/kg). There is a large demand in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for pseudopterosin derivatives and presently, the only source of these chemicals is from wild-collected gorgonians. Preliminary experiments were performed to develop a reliable, cost-effective production method of the pseudopterosins in order to avoid large-scale harvesting. We exposed the gorgonians to various forms of "stress" in an attempt to increase the amount of pseudopterosins produced. We have also evaluated the feasibility of raising Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae in an aquaculture setting by studying their growth rates in different environments. Our studies indicate that aquaculture used with some simple induction methods can allow for the commercialization of this important biochemical resource.

- Biochemical and biosynthetic optimization of bryostatin 1 in Bugula neritina.
- Creator
- Vicchiarelli, Richard, Florida Atlantic University, Kerr, Russell G.
- Abstract/Description
-
Bryostatin 1 is a macrocyclic lactone isolated from the marine bryozoan Bugula neritina. It is currently in clinical trials at the National Cancer Institute as a promising new antileukemic agent. Bryostatin 1 is found in Bugula neritina in poor yields (10^-4% dry weight). The focus of this research was to develop the biochemical and biosynthetic techniques that could be utilized to optimize the production of bryostatin 1 in Bugula neritina through aquaculture. To that end, the basic...

The focus of this research was to develop the biochemical and biosynthetic techniques that could be utilized to optimize the production of bryostatin 1 in Bugula neritina through aquaculture. To that end, the basic biosynthetic pathway to bryostatin 1 in the marine bryozoan was evaluated by using radiolabeled precursors. Techniques for the incorporation of these precursors were also developed. Other experiments involved an analysis of the composition of a specific population of Bugula neritina in terms of its bryostatin and lipid content. A determination of which lipids are produced de novo and which are exogenous was also undertaken.

- Abstract/Description

Marine food chains are highly stressed by aggressive fishing practices and environmental damage. Aquaculture has increasingly become a source of seafood which spares the deleterious impact to wild fisheries, but it requires continuous water quality data to successfully grow and harvest fish. Aerial drones have great potential to monitor large areas quickly and efficiently. The Hybrid Aerial Underwater Robotic System (HAUCS) is a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and underwater...
Show moreMarine food chains are highly stressed by aggressive fishing practices and environmental damage. Aquaculture has increasingly become a source of seafood which spares the deleterious impact to wild fisheries, but it requires continuous water quality data to successfully grow and harvest fish. Aerial drones have great potential to monitor large areas quickly and efficiently. The Hybrid Aerial Underwater Robotic System (HAUCS) is a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and underwater measurement devices designed to collect water quality data of aquaculture ponds. The routing of drones to cover each fish pond on an aquaculture farm can be reduced to the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). A dataset is created to simulate the distribution of ponds on a farm and is used to assess the HAUCS Path Planning Algorithm (HPP). Its performance is compared with the Google Linear Optimization Package (GLOP) and a Graph Attention Model (GAM) for routing around the simulated farms. The three methods are then implemented on a team of waterproof drones and experimentally verified at Southern Illinois University’s (SIU) Aquaculture Research Center. GLOP and GAM are demonstrated to be efficient path planning methods for small farms, while HPP is likely to be more suited to large farms. HAUCS shows great value as a future direction for intelligent aquaculture, but issues with obstacle avoidance and robust waterproofing need to be addressed before commercialization. The future of aquaculture promises more integrated and sustainable operations by mimicking natural systems and leveraging deeper understandings of biology.

This selective breeding program will be implemented to produce and maintain a healthy and diverse breeding stock of the Florida Pompano Trachinotus carolinus.

Show moreThe goal of this project is to gain access to valuable genetic information that will be utilized to create a genetics-based selective breeding program. This selective breeding program will be implemented to produce and maintain a healthy and diverse breeding stock of the Florida Pompano Trachinotus carolinus. The Florida Pompano is a popular food fish found in abundance off Florida's east and west coasts. There has been interest in the aquaculture of this species for decades with minimal success. With recent improvements in aquaculture systems and nutrition, now is the time to bring this fish to commercialization. The main research objectives of this study are to create a bioinformatics workflow to generate a draft whole-genome of the Florida Pompano, identify variation sites within this genome, and run a comparative analysis with two closely related Trachinotus species, Permit T. falcatus and Palometa T. goodei. These two species were chosen because they are found in the same environment as the Florida Pompano but grow to substantially different sizes. To sequence and assemble the whole genome of the Florida Pompano, a hybrid method was applied using long and short-read sequencing technologies. The draft genome was found to be 733.5 Mb in length with a total of 26,891 protein-coding genes. Sites of variation within this assembled genome were identified using a 2b-RAD sequencing method on 62 individuals collected off Florida’s east and gulf coasts.

Show moreSince 2010, aquaculture practices have produced 70% of global seafood consumption. However, this fast-growing sector of agriculture has yet to see the adoption of advanced technologies to improve farm operations. The Hybrid Aerial Underwater robotiCs System (HAUCS) is an Internet of Things (IoT) framework that aims to bring transformative changes to pond aquaculture. This project focuses on the latest developments in the HAUCS mobile sensing platform and field deployment. A novel rigid Kirigami-based robotic extension subsystem was created to expand the functionality of the HAUCS platform. The primary objective of this design was to limit the surface area of an extender arm on the drone during flight operations and minimize the in-flight drag. By utilizing a novel combination of shape memory polymer (SMP) and nitinol to extend and retrieve the sensing arm, the structure was able to conserve energy while operating under varying environmental conditions.
