| 114 | 2019-11-05 | Mytilus | Tissue - to be used for molecular phylogenetic so ideally preserved in ethanol. | South Atlantic, Southern South America, or South Africa. | I study biofouling organisms and the risk of introducing non-native marine species to Antarctica on ships. I have samples of biofouling Mytilus spp. and would like to determine the source population of the mussels. The samples are from a ship that journeys between Europe, Antarctica, and the Arctic each year via the Atlantic Oceans. My colleagues have ample samples of mussels from European and even Arctic populations but none from the South Atlantic or South America, which are the other possible source locations. | For biofouling species found on ships that are widespread, knowing the population of origin allows researchers and managers to effectively understand and manage the pathway of introduction, reducing the risk of invasion. It also allows for detailed studies on, for example, the physiological limits of certain populations, which can be used to create better distribution models predicting the spread of an invasive species. Without this information, effective management of invasive species is extremely difficult. Mytilus species are currently absent from the Southern Ocean and have the potential to impact native populations if introduced, but have an almost worldwide distribution and distinct populations with distinct physiological capacities. Understanding the origins of the mussels found growing on ships will allow us to assess the risk of accidentally introducing Mytilus spp to Antarctica. | University of Cambridge | United Kingdom | 105246 | Show details ... | |||

| 106 | 2019-10-16 | Chelonia | mydas | Skin Samples or DNA from any marine turtle | Known ages | Animal age is fundamental for a broad range of research questions relating to population biology. It can be used to estimate future growth rates, population structure, size and viability. However, most wild animals do not have a practical and non-invasive method to estimate age. Although it is possible to estimate the age of some marine turtles through skeletochronology, there are several limitations such as only being conducted on deceased turtles and is time-consuming. An alternative method to estimate age would need to be non-invasive, rapid and cost effective. We are currently developing non-invasive rapid assays using methylation at specific CpG sites from skin cells. | The overall aim of this project is to develop non-invasive assays that can be used to estimate the age of marine turtles. By doing so this will reduce costs and improve the accuracy of other models relating to population biology that rely on known animal ages. Moreover, by developing a rapid universal non-invasive aging assay, this has the potential to significantly impact many aspects of marine turtle management. At this stage in the project we are seeking marine turtles with known ages to firstly calibrate and validate our model. | CSIRO | Australia | 150178 | Show details ... | ||

However, there is very little information on the surrounding soft tissues, particularly in batoid fishes (rays and relatives). Skin structure appears to vary widely in elasmobranchs, linked to both habitat and phylogeny - understanding these relationships will help us understand better how species interact and adapt to different environments. | Request/qUNbeiyt4k2xhOHHp8lYEg.pdf | Max Planck Institute of Colloids & Interfaces | Germany | 170 | Show details ... | ||

| 7 | 2017-06-09 | Chiloscyllium | punctatum | fin clips | I am doing a study on population structure of Chiloscyllium punctatum in its distribution region using genetic approach. The known distribution of this species is from India to Japan and Australia. We need to get some fin clips from representative countries such as India, Thailand, Vietnam, China, The Philippines, PNG and Australia. | Research Center for Oceanography, Indonesian Institute of Sciences | Jakarta | Indonesia | 33 | Show details ... | |||
| 6 | 2017-06-09 | Rhinoptera | tissue for genetics, fin clips or muscle biopsies will work great. | We are working on a global taxonomic revision of the cownose rays (Rhinopteridae) and are seeking tissue samples from all species to better describe their phylogeny and clarify species validity and distributions. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or clarification. | NOAA | Pascagoula | United States | 149 | Show details ... | ||||

| 2 | 2017-06-07 | Carcharodon | carcharias | Muscle (~1g, frozen) | I am looking to investigate the trophic ecology of white sharks throughout Australia, using stable isotope and fatty acid biochemistry. This project is also seeking to compare the white sharks throughout Australia to juvenile, sub-adult, and adult white sharks in the Eastern Pacific. | Flinders University of South Australia | Adelaide | Australia | 24 | Show details ... |
