At present we have attained an increase in our survival rate from 5% to 1 5% without using sterilized seawater. We hope to increase it still more by using microbe-ffee-water. We are using different algaldiets for its growth which to our excitement has affected greatly its metamorphosis and cycle duration.

Much of the material in question has been collected in the course of statutory environmental assessment that is required of companies before they start operations in deep water. This is presently mainly off Scotland, but probably in the future will include neighbouring maritime states opening up to hydrocarbon propecting such as Ireland. A great deal of material exists already, and more can be expected. This will be the second round, the first opportunity (advertised in the New Scientist at the beginning of May 1999) being now closed. However, as no echinoderm specialists applied then, there should be good opportunities for echinoderms people in the future, probably next year. ☆ ☆☆☆ CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENTS ☆☆☆☆ Mike Reich, (University of Greifswald, Germany) Organizer of the "1st Meeting of German speaking echinoderm researcher" in 2000 or 200 1 .

Campos-Creasey (USU) I had the great pleasure of meeting John Lawrence yesterday at the Brazilian National Museum in Rio. We had a chat and he advised me that my information on Echinometra lucunter could be included under the ‘ Ailsa's section’ of the Echinoderm Newsletter. The reason for this is... when I came back to Brazil in April 1997, 1 had a general project which I submitted to a Brazilian funding Agency. The project concerned an evaluation of the collection of echinoderms from NE Brazil that was at the Department of Oceanography at the Federal University of Pernambuco. I was living in Pernambuco very close to the beach and one day I took some sea urchins home. These were Echinometra lucunter. A big surprise came when the person who looked after my children said: "What do you do with these urchins?" (O que a senhora faz com estes "oriscos"? - In Portuguese the correct way of saying urchins is "ouri 90 s"), I told her I studied them at the university. She replied: "Really? My neighbour actually cooks them!" (E mesmo? Minha vizinha na verdade cozinha elesi). How? (Como?) I asked. "Well, she makes omelet with them!" (Bom, ela faz omeletes com eles). Later on she brought me the recipe from her neighbour: "put the sea urchins in a fire so that they loose their spines. Open them up and scoop the whole content with a spoon and add to some chopped onions, garlic and tomatos fried in olive oil. Add the eggs and you have the omelet! It is very tasty!", she said. In the NE Brazil we do have a very dense population of Echinometra lucunter on the reefs (in some places 40-60 urchins per half square meter). I thought I should do something about it, and last year submitted a project to evaluate the viability of exploitation or even use Echinometra lucunter in aquaculture. In the process of writing the project, I then discovered that in Suape Port (still in Pernambuco) the fishermen community celebrate the Saint Luzia's day (December 13) with an urchin party ("ouri^ada"). This is a family party that has a ritual. The whole family gets up very early and goes to the nearby reef to collect the urchins. The older people and small children stay in the boat or ashore waiting. This takes a long time. They bring the urchins back to the shore, put them in series on coconut leaves, cover them up with other leaves and bum them. They open the urchins and eat the insides with lemon or pepper. They prey, dance, chat, and adults drink beer and/or "caipirinha" (Brazilian drink wifti lemon, sugar and rum or vodka). The party goes well into the afternoon. I tried raw E. lucunter. It does have a very strong fishy flavom*. I liked it. I moved to Rio last December as I have been hired by the Univerty of Saint Ursula as a lecturer, but I am still working on the Echinometra project from NE Brazil. My interest in 90 echinoculture grew even more whbn I found out that in Rio there are several oriental restaurants that consume urchins from Cabo Frio, and holothurians from the southern part of the state. We have no records of the landings or how much is actually exploited, and this has become my major area of interest at the moment. Lucia S.

My first reaction was "huh?" but after some thought I can say that I can truly relate to this! Contributed by Susan Hottenrott 91 How I began studying Echinoderms - Part 9. Karim Mezali (ISMAL - Aquaculture Lab, Tipaza-Algeria) I am an Algerian student researcher preparing doctoral thesis. My main research subject is the systematics and ecology of some Mediterranean "sea cucumbers". However, this kind of research is seldom undertaken in Algeria, and I'm the only researcher working in this area, so it is very difficult indeed to conduct very well my research work. The abstract of my last magister thesis: Few studies have been undertaken on the biology and the ecology of holothurians. In Algeria these studies are particularly few indeed. To make up this lack, a detailed study is carried out on the systematic, the biology, the distribution and the population dynamics of five holothurians species namely Holothuria tubulosa, Holothuria polii, Holothuria forskali, Holothuria sanctori and Holothuria stellati. A particular attention has been reserved to the micro-distribution of these species in the Posidonia oceanica meadow. This study was done in one shallow-water area in the Sidi-Fredj peninsula, situated at about 20 km West of Algiers, which covers a surface of 500m2 and a depth of between -0.5 and -3m. The sampling was done by scuba diving during two periods: the first period extending from June 1994 to December 1994, was destructive. It consists of mensurations and sampling of five batch composed of (1 15) //. tubulosa, (108) H. polii, (89) K forskali, (88) K sanctori and (46) H. stellati, and this for studying the biometrics relations. The second period not destructive, consists of counting and measuring, extend on one annual cycle, from March 1995 to February 1996, for the aim of studying the structure and dynamic of each holothurian populations. By this study, we have defined systematically each holothurian species. The census established showed a clear dominance of H, tubulosa et K polii. The biometrics analysis revealed one allometric relation between the contracted length and the body weight. The numerous young holothurians recorded on the fall period, result of the sexual reproduction; the reduced number of juveniles in the winter period should result from the viviparity of the adults. The micro- distribution of the holothurians in the studied area, shows that H. tubulosa, H. polii and H. stellati have a random distribution in the Posidonia oceanica sea grass, whereas H. forskali and H.sanctori confine themselves in the "tombants de matte" and between boulders. The growth parameters, the recruitment month and the age have been estimated only for H. tubulosa, H. polii and H sanctori. The data obtained in this study was compared to those obtained in others Mediterranean and tropical stations.

Lecturer of Zoology and Marine Biology at the University of Santa Ursula, Rio de Janeiro, since 1970, she concentrated her research work on Echinoderms. Maria da Natividade was a specialist of ophiuroids. She undertook her MSc at the Oceanographic Institute, University of Sao Paulo, working on the taxonomy of Antarctic and Sub- Antarctic Ophiuroidea. Her PhD thesis, gained in 1987 from the Biosciences Institute of the University of Sao Paulo, is an important contribution to the knowledge of the taxonomy and distribution of ophiuroids from the north and northeast Brazilian continental shelf. The University of Santa Ursula is in the process of publishing her PhD thesis as a book. They also hope to release in the form of scientific papers the work she was unable to prepare for publication in the last year of her life. She was involved in a major programme of Marine Ecology which has been carried out by the Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Santa Ursula, being responsible for studying the echinoderm population from the southeast continental shelf She joined the Research Oceanographic Campaign "MD55", a French collaboration with the University of Santa Ursula, using the RV 'Marion Dufresne'. She worked on the faunal composition of Ophiuroidea from the Vitoria-Trindade seamounts. She presented her initial results at the "2nd Echinoderm European Colloquium" in Brussels, under the title 'Isolation and dispersion strategies of coastal ophiuroids from the Vitoria-Trindade seamounts'. Maria da Natividade, known as Nati to her family and close friends, was an extraordinary person, physically small but with a big soul. Firm and determined, she enchanted all with her imperative way of talking mixed with an incredible good humour that tamed everyone. She was a good friend, always ready to listen and share, as evidenced from the many letters that continue to be sent to her from those who met her in Brazil and abroad. Nati will always be remembered as a person extremely creative, intelligent, happy, and companion. She left her eternal mark amongst us. Rio de Janeiro, 10 February, 1999.

But once they try sea cucumber, they are convinced. 90% of our sales are to REPEAT customers. So think about it as trying something old. For 2000 years the Chinese have used sea cucumber to regain and maintain proper joint function.* Now Maine sea cucumber, conveniently encapsulated, is available at your local health food store. MAINE PROVEN STATEWIDE Loss of full joint flexibility and accompanying discomfort have plagued people of all ages throughout the world. For generations, the Chinese have called on the lowly sea cucumber to provide nutritional support for proper joint functioning.* Maintenance of healthy joints, support for connective tissue, and protection of healthy cartilage have been their objectives.* Today the usefulness of sea cucumber has been captured in capsule form and its benefits have been concentrated and enhanced through a proprietary (patent pend.j process de\^eloped by Coastside Bio Resources of Stonington, Maine. SEA CUCUMBER What is a sea cucumber! Found throughout the world in more than T100 varieties, the sea cucumber is a dose cousin to our local starfish and sea urchin. From the pre-historic era, it is our oldest living non-vertebrate relative. The Chinese call the sea cucumber "Qinseng of the Sea" reflecting its high regard in the traditional healing community. \'Vhat about the Maine coastal variety used in "Qinseng of the Seal"'" Our sea cucumber, Cucumaria frondosa, feeds upon bits of sea weeds in the currents of the world's most productive body of water, the Qulf of Maine. It does not burrow in the bottom silt as other varieties do. Coastside's unique processing techniques assure the highest quality, potency, and purity. Our sea cucumber is neither smoked nor salted in the drying process unlike the procedures followed elsewhere. How often should I take "Qinseng of the Sea!"'^ Experience from a controlled clinical trial has shown that 4 to 6 capsules daily provide an effective nutritional supplement. Take them in the morning and e'/ening, or with meals. How does "Qinseng of the Sea!"'" work as a nutrition supplement! Sea cucumber contains mucopolysaccharides, including a high percentage of chondroitin sulfates, which are important elements of human cartilage. In addition, it is high in collagen, protein, amino acids and trace min- erals. It is low in iodine and sodium, and is pharmaceutically sterilized before encapsulat- ing. Our objectives are; (1) to provide a nutritional support to the body's cells which help rebuild and maintain cartilage, and (2) to promote comfortable joint function.* Secretariat of the Pacific Community BECHE-DE-MER Information Buiietin Number 11 - March 1999 Group Co-ordinator and Buiietin Editor: Chantai Conand, Universite de La Reunion, Laboratoire de biologic marine, 97715 Saint-Denis Cedex, La Reunion, France.

Readers, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have already contributed to the Bulletin and ask that you take an active role in its improvement, as many of you have already indicated that you find the Bulletin useful. Comments from new members are particularly welcome. — Is the current presentation by section, i.e. 1) New Information, 2) Correspondence, 3) Publications, satisfactory? — Which section should be given more space? — In the ‘New Information' section, are the parts on ‘In situ spawning observations’ and ‘Asexual reproduction through fission observations’ suitable? — The column ‘Aquaculturai information’ has been continued thanks to the collaboration of S. Battaglene from ICLARM. Do you find it useful? — Are there any other new parts that you would like to see included? Your suggestions and comments will be both useful and necessary for the Bulletin’s development Bulletin no. 1 1 includes original articles about the resources of several countries, including Indonesia, Canada and Mexico. Many different aspects of the biology of asexual reproduction through fission and the biology of one rare species are discussed. A detailed summary of a publication by Infofish is presented in this issue due to high interest in the subject, even though the Bulletin generally gives priority to original articles.

Biodiversidade do Estado de Sao Paulo, Brasil: sintese do conhecimento ao final do seculo XX, Volume 3: Invertebrados marinhos. Sao Paulo: Funda^ao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo - FAPESP. 31 Op. [in Portugese]. It's chapters contain all published information and knowledge of each marine invertebrate’s phyla on the Brazilian littoral. One has included, also, general information on those phyla that, until now, had not been registered for this area. Through the effort of some researchers those groups appear in the book. They tried to gather information on their general biology and ecology as well as the Brazilian literature concerning each one. As for the Echinodermata, we listed all the literature related to the State of Sao Paulo, the main subject of the book, and almost all related to the rest of the Brazilian coast. From these references, however, it is possible to get the ones that had not been included. The last chapter (44 - Synthesis), has a table with the summarized data about the collections and the research groups on each phyla. Invertebrados Marinhos is the third of a set of four published volumes of the series "Biodiversity of Sao Paulo State, Brazil". They show the first results of the BIOTA/FAPESP - The Virtual Institute of Biodiversity (http://www.biotasp.org.br). This is a biodiversity conservation and sustainable use research program for the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, sponsored by FAPESP (Funda^ao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo/State of Sao Paulo Research Council). They cover macroscopic fiingi and plants (vol. 2), marine invertebrates (vol. 3), terrestrial invertebrates (vol. 5) and vertebrates (vol. 6). The other three: microorganisms and viruses (vol. 1), fresh water invertebrates (vol. 4) and in-situ and ex-situ conservation infrastructure (conservation areas, museums, herbariums and zoos; vol. 7). The program's first phase evaluated the existing knowledge base of different taxonomic groups, from viruses to mammals and angiosperms. Documents were prepared containing information such as lists of species, researchers involved with specific groups, ex-situ and in-situ conservation infrastructure. Approximately 100 researchers were contacted and contributed with their knowledge to produce a series of such documents, published in the form of the 7 volumes (http://www.biotasp.org.br/publi).

ISSN 0706-6481 This catalogue presents a fairly complete inventory of 2214 species, subspecies -and varieties, most of them named to the species level, of metazoan invertebrates recorded from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the St. Lawrence Estuary (salinity 0.5 to 33%o) and the Saguenay Fjord. Benthic, planktonic, nek- tonic and parasitic species are covered, as are some salt-tolerant freshwater species. The data, sometimes new, are taken from (a) broadly disseminated literature (since 1841) or “grey” literature (e.g., theses, manu- script and unpublished reports), and from (b) three Quebec-based research collections containing as yet unpublished records. All faunistic records for each species have been accurately documented. For every species, codes are used to denote (1) the species’ geographic distribution in 20 fairly natural zones in the Gulf, (2) its occurrence (^d its estimated preferences) in different depth zones, or in benthic, pelagic, parasitic, estu- arine or freshwater habitats, and (3) at least one but usually several taxonomic references. The most recent, complete, well-illustrated and key-supplied references available have been provided, in order to facilitate identifi- cation and back up the synonymy. Thanks to the information provided by 66 taxonomists, we have updated the nomencla ture of each species and corrected, wheneve possible, wrong or incorrectly spelled identi fications from the past. In a voluminous alphabetical index, the nomenclature is cros referenced to all the names of higher taxa, genera, species, and old synonyms and mis- identifications reported for the Estuary and the Gulf. A system of codes and four-degrei doubts, along with numerous remarks on taxonomic and nomenclatural matters, has been used to accept or reject names from th list of valid Gulf species, in keeping with ou goal of ensuring the critical nature of this catalogue. A numbered bibliography contaii ing 1910 titles of references and other fauni tic (e.g., collections) or taxonomic sources i provided to support the many citations.

His I study of amphipod Cms- I tacea in Baie des I if' Chaleurs, started in I 1954, led to an M.A. f from the University of Toronto, then to’ employ- ment by the Station de Biologic marine de Grande-Rivifere (Gaspe) (Que- bec Department of Fisheries). In 1966 he moved to teaching in the Department of Biological Sci- ences of the University of Montreal and obtained his Ph.D. in 1968 from McGill University. In 1970 he joined ex-colleagues from McGill Univer- sity to establish the Groupe interuniversitaire de Recherches oceanographiques du Quebec (GIROQ), where he sat on the executive board un- til 1989. Kis research has dealt mostly with the ecology of marine bottom communities, mostly in the Gulf and Estuary of the St. Lawrence, but also in the Saguenay Fjord, the Bay of Fundy, and Hud- son Bay, as well as amphipod taxonomy and cod feeding and migrations. Since 1990 he has redi- rected his activities more toward biodiversity and saving research collections, especially through the establishment with colleagues of the Quebec Bio- diversity Network. Luci Boss6 obtained a B.Sc. in biolo^ in 197' For nearly 15 years she developed and manage a collection of marine < ganisms at the Maurice Lamontagne Institute, ; Department of Fisherie and Oceans research ce ter locate in Mont-Joli, Quebec. She provided an expertise in taxon- omy and realized projects on marine fauna of the Saint Lawrence Gulf and Estuary. In April 1997 she joined the Protection of the Environment Group where she is encountering new challenge; in the establishment and management of marine protected areas designated in the Oceans Act. Gabriel Lamarche Gabriel Lamarche was bom in Montreal in 195 He obtained a B.Sc. in biological sciences in 1978 at the University Montreal and an M.Sc. in marine biology fron the same institution in 1983. He has worked a a freeance consultant biologist for universi- ties, private companies for the Makivik Corporation, and for the Canadi; Department of Fisheries and Oceans since 1978. In 1995 he obtained a B.Sc. in civil engineering, specializing in environmental problems, from th' Ecole Poyltechnique de Montreal. He is now a freelance consultant in environmental issues.

Most echinoderm species in littoral or intertidal environments eat almost anything at their disposal. Some opportunistic genera of starfish such as Solaster and Luidia show extreme carnivorous habits feeding mainly on other echinoderms! - even of the same genera! This last attribute and the great capacity of contraction and expansion of their connective tissues make them one of the most voracious group of marine invertebrates! The Mexican Echinoderm National Collection (Coleccion Nacional de Equinodermos) "Maria Elena Caso Munoz" from the Institute de Ciencias del Mar y Limnologia, at the Univesidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), held 39 specimens of Luidia superba (Clark) collected in different localities (Sinaloa, Colima, Michoacan, Oaxaca, and Guerrero) including those donated by the Allan Hancock Collection (actually County Museum of Los Angeles County, U.S.A.), San Diego San Diego Society of Natural History (actual catalogue number; ICML-UNAM 2.29.3), collected at the Mexican Pacific (Bahia de Los Angeles, Baja California North, Mexico) by the "Museum Party" at the littoral frame (muddy substrate)(collecting date missing). This particular specimen attracts our attention because of the presence of a big sand dollar (Encope grandis L Agassiz [length = 102 mm; wide = 101 mm]) inside its stomach!. The measurements of the starfish are (R = 267 mm, and r = 217 mm). Two starfish were collected, each one with a sand dollar inside it.

La mayoria de las especies de equinodermos, dentro de la fauna litoral o intermareal, comen todo lo que tengan disponible, otras en cambio, ademas de ser oportunistas, pueden tambien seleccionar su alimento, tal es el caso de algunos generos de estrellas de mar como Solaster y Luidia que muestran habitos camivoros extremos, alimentandose principalmente de otros equinodermos (inclusive de los mismos generos), estos ultimos atributos, y la gran capacidad de contraccion y expansion de sus tejidos conectivos, hacen a este grupo uno de los invertebrados marinos mas voraces!. La Coleccion Nacional de Equinodermos "Maria Elena Caso Munoz" del Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnologia, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), alberga 37 ejemplares de Luidia superba (Clark) ) colectados en distintas localidades del Pacifico Mexicano (Sinaloa, Colima, Michoacan, Oaxaca, y Guerrero); incluyendo algunas donaciones de la Allan Hancock Collection (actualmente el County Museum of Los Angeles County, E.U.A.), San Diego Society of Natural History (numero de catalogo actual: ICML-UNAM 2.29.3), colectado en el Pacifico Mexicano (Bahia de Los Angeles, Baja California al Norte de Mexico) por el "Museum Party", en la franja litoral (substrate fangoso) (fecha de colecta no disponible). Este especimen en particular, llama nuestra atencion por la presencia de una gran galleta de mar {Encope grandis L Agassiz [largo = 102 mm; ancho =101 mm]) dentro de su estomago!. Las medidas de la estrella de mar son (R = 267 mm, and r = 217 mm). Originalmente fiieron colectados un par de estos organismos, cada uno con una galleta de mar dentro.

Rich adds the following remarks: First, I think I can assure you that this is not a hoax or a doctored specimen of some kind. Only a living asteroid could get a sand dollar of that size into the body cavity without destroying the integrity of the body wall. Second, the orientation of the Encope inside the mouth suggests that the Luidia ingested it by moving over the Encope as it lay on the bottom in its natural orientation- - with the oral surface down. Third, it would appear that mutable collagenous tissues (MCT) would have to come into play to make it possible for the mouth angle plates and proximal parts of the ambulacra to move apart enough to permit passage of the sand dollar into the stomach. MCT is not unknown in asteroids, but I am not sure if it has been recorded in the regions between ambulacral plates before. It would not be a surprise to find it there, though, given that it seems to be present between ambulacral ossicles of ophiuroids. The use of MCT to stretch and soften body regions could also be responsible for weakening the body wall of the disk of the Luidia to the point where the arms could easily be broken off during post-mortem handling. I doubt very much that the arms broke off during the process of swallowing the sand dollar. Other species of Luidia are known to swallow sand dollars whole. For example, Luidia clathrata can swallow entire specimens of irregular urchins, including the sand dollar Mellita, and the spatangoid Moira atropos (Handler et al . , 1995, "Sea stars.
