Title: Psychoacoustic evaluations of the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostis).
Creator: Gerstein, Edmund Roy, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Psychology
Abstract/Description: Psychoacoustic procedures were used to measure the heating thresholds of captive West Indian manatees under simultaneous masking conditions. Auditory detection thresholds of pulsed and non- pulsed pure tones, and complex sounds were measured against continuous white noise backgrounds through a series of forced-choice paradigms. Auditory thresholds as a function of signal intensity, center frequency, pulse repetition, spectral characteristics and bandwidth were measured. Resulting critical...
Show morePsychoacoustic procedures were used to measure the heating thresholds of captive West Indian manatees under simultaneous masking conditions. Auditory detection thresholds of pulsed and non- pulsed pure tones, and complex sounds were measured against continuous white noise backgrounds through a series of forced-choice paradigms. Auditory thresholds as a function of signal intensity, center frequency, pulse repetition, spectral characteristics and bandwidth were measured. Resulting critical signal-to-noise ratios for pure tone measurements suggest manatees have relatively acute frequency filtering abilities compared with humans and other marine mammals. Signal characteristics such as repetition rate along with amplitude and frequency modulation may lower detection thresholds by providing temporal contrasts against aperiodic background noise. Thresholds for frequency modulated bandlimited signals were measured near or below background noise levels. Threshold tests using broadband signals, including a species specific call and samples of boat noise suggest that loudness summation across critical bands, as well as modulation of signals, can reduce the effects of masking observed with pure tones. To test a manatee's ability to localize sound sources in relation to its position in the water, a forced-choice egocentric (orientation) paradigm was used. The manatee demonstrated equal localization of sounds originating from the left or right side. While accuracy improved with higher frequencies the manatee demonstrated good overall localization of both low and higher frequency sounds, suggesting it may utilize both time of arrival cues and intensity difference cues for localizing brief sounds. The psychoacoustic data reveal some hearing abilities unique to manatees, as well as hearing phenomena similar to those observed among mammals and other vertebrates species. Manatees are well adapted for hearing and locating high frequency sounds in noisy shallow water habitats where physical boundary and near surface phenomena such as the Lloyd Mirror Effect can impede the propagation of low frequencies. Narrow critical bands and selective perception of pulsed signals may be adaptations for detecting species-specific vocalizations. Results indicate manatees can not effectively detect the low frequency sounds of approaching boats from safe enough distances to avoid collisions in the wild.

Title: Elucidation of pseudopterosin biosynthesis: Oxidations of erogorgiaene and the intermediacy of seco-pseudopterosins.
Creator: Ferns, Tyrone A., Florida Atlantic University, Kerr, Russell G.
Abstract/Description: The pseudopterosins and seco-pseudopterosins are diterpene glycosides isolated from the marine octocoral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae . These compounds exhibit potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties superior to the industrial standard indomethacin. The overall goal of this work was to complete biosynthetic studies for the development of a biotechnological production method of the pseudopterosins and seco-pseudopterosins.

Show moreThe pseudopterosins and seco-pseudopterosins are diterpene glycosides isolated from the marine octocoral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae . These compounds exhibit potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties superior to the industrial standard indomethacin. The overall goal of this work was to complete biosynthetic studies for the development of a biotechnological production method of the pseudopterosins and seco-pseudopterosins. The aim of this project was to identify all intermediates involved in pseudopterosin biosynthesis. Previously, the Kerr lab has shown that elisabetatriene and erogorgiaene are the first two committed steps in pseudopterosin biosynthesis. In a continuation of those metabolic studies, the isolation and utilization of 7-hydroxyerogorgiaene, 7,8-dihydroxyerogorgiaene, seco-pseudopterosin J, amphilectosins A and B in pseudopterosin biosynthesis is reported. The utilization of these compounds in pseudopterosin biosynthesis was assessed by incubating these compounds in radiolabeled form with viable cell-free extracts of P. elisabethae and monitoring for the incorporation of a radiolabel in the pseudopterosins. We also report the isolation of the pseudopterosin aglycone from extracts of P. elisabethae and identified the aglycone as the end product of this metabolic pathway.

Title: EFFECTS OF FEED PELLETS FORM FACTOR IN CONJUNCTION WITH β-GLUCAN ON PRODUCTION CHARACTERISTICS OF FLORIDA POMPANO.
Creator: Bianchine, Tyler C., Wills, Paul S., Florida Atlantic University, Department of Marine Science and Oceanography, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description: Florida Pompano Trachinotus carolinus are molluscivorous, greater than 70% of their natural diet consists of hard-shelled gastropods and bivalves. A specialized feeding mechanism (pharyngeal jaw) forms a crushing surface used to grind prey. In aquaculture, extruded pellets are fed and this feeding apparatus results in pellets fracturing and loss of fragments through their gill rakers. The effect of pellet form (hard vs. soft) and size on fractured pellet waste (FPW) and production...
Show moreFlorida Pompano Trachinotus carolinus are molluscivorous, greater than 70% of their natural diet consists of hard-shelled gastropods and bivalves. A specialized feeding mechanism (pharyngeal jaw) forms a crushing surface used to grind prey. In aquaculture, extruded pellets are fed and this feeding apparatus results in pellets fracturing and loss of fragments through their gill rakers. The effect of pellet form (hard vs. soft) and size on fractured pellet waste (FPW) and production characteristics of Pompano reared in recirculating aquaculture systems was addressed. No difference in FPW between the standard pellet size and smaller pellet size treatments. However, a difference in FPW at first feeding of the day between the hard and soft pellet treatments was observed, with no difference in FPW present at the last feeding. Results suggest that pellet size does not reduce the amount of FPW produced, while the use of soft pellets reduces the amount of FPW.

Show moreEvidence that supplementation with prebiotics, probiotics, or combinations of both (synbiotics) enhances the health, growth, and survival of aquacultured teleosts has sparked significant research into their application. This study evaluates the effects of β-glucan and Pediococcus acidilactici synbiotic supplementation in aquacultured Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus). The first study defined embryonic and larval organogenesis. The gastrointestinal tract is differentiated, but not yet fully functional within the first seven days post hatch evidenced by the absence of gastric glands, gastric mucous cells, lipid vacuoles in the anterior intestines, and the persistence of acidophilic supranuclear vesicles. Synbiotics may serve as a source of exogenous digestive enzymes prior to complete gastrointestinal maturation. The second study investigated hematological, serum biochemical, and protein electrophoretic changes with and without β-glucan and P. acidilactici symbiotic supplementation. Significant decreases in blood urea nitrogen and carbon dioxide concentrations were observed in supplemented Florida pompano compared to controls and may represent enhanced mucosal tissue health, urea excretion, and osmoregulatory function associated with supplementation.
