TL;DR: In January 2003, the US Environmental Protection Agency sponsored a "roundtable discussion" to develop a consensus on the relationship between eutrophication and harmful algal blooms, specifically targeting those relationships for which management actions may be appropriate.

TL;DR: Analysis of cDNA libraries indicates that EST approaches are effective for immune gene discovery in shrimp and that the diversity of these PCR-generated libraries would support full-scale EST collection.
Abstract: A pilot program was undertaken in immune gene discovery in two sister species of litopenaeid shrimp, the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei and the Atlantic white shrimp, L. setiferus. RNA from the hemocytes and hepatopancreas of single individuals from each species was recovered, 4 cDNA libraries (one from each tissue/species) were made by a PCR-based method and a total of approximately 2045 randomly selected clones were sequenced. A total of 268 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were found that corresponded to 44 immune function genes. The most common immune-function ESTs (172) were antimicrobial peptides, which were restricted to the hemocyte libraries. Lectins were the largest group of immune-function ESTs found in the hepatopancreas. Analysis of these libraries indicates that EST approaches are effective for immune gene discovery in shrimp and that the diversity of these PCR-generated libraries would support full-scale EST collection.

TL;DR: It is concluded that increased use and continuing advancements of real-time remote monitoring (RTRM) and sensing technologies will become a progressively more important tool for evaluating water quality.

TL;DR: Habitat restoration encompasses a broad range of activities, emphasizing very different issues, goals, and approaches depending on the operational definition of ‘restoration’ as mentioned in this paper, which is particularly true for many shellfish (molluscan) dominated systems (e.g. oyster reefs, mussel beds, vermetid gastropod reefs).

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that an invertebrate immune system, like its vertebrate counterparts, can recognize dsRNA as a virus-associated molecular pattern, resulting in the activation of an innate antiviral response.
Abstract: Vertebrates mount a strong innate immune response against viruses, largely by activating the interferon system. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a common intermediate formed during the life cycle of many viruses, is a potent trigger of this response. In contrast, no general inducible antiviral defense mechanism has been reported in any invertebrate. Here we show that dsRNA induces antiviral protection in the marine crustacean Litopenaeus vannamei. When treated with dsRNA, shrimp showed increased resistance to infection by two unrelated viruses, white spot syndrome virus and Taura syndrome virus. Induction of this antiviral state is independent of the sequence of the dsRNA used and therefore distinct from the sequence-specific dsRNA-mediated genetic interference phenomenon. This demonstrates for the first time that an invertebrate immune system, like its vertebrate counterparts, can recognize dsRNA as a virus-associated molecular pattern, resulting in the activation of an innate antiviral response.
