Abstract: Environmental conditions experienced during the larval dispersal of marine organisms can determine the size‐at‐settlement of recruits. It is, therefore, not uncommon that larvae undergoing different dispersal histories would exhibit phenotypic variability at recruitment. Here, we investigated morphological differences in recently settled southern rock lobster ( Jasus edwardsii ) recruits, known as pueruli, along a latitudinal and temporal gradient on the east coast of Tasmania, Australia. We further explored whether natural selection could be driving morphological variation. We used double digest restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) to assess differences in the genetic structure of recently settled recruits on the east coast of Tasmania over 3 months of peak settlement during 2012 (August–October). Phenotypic differences in pueruli between sites and months of settlement were observed, with significantly smaller in iduals found at the northernmost site. Also, there was a lack of overall genetic ergence however, significant differences in pairwise F ST values between settlement months were observed at the southernmost study site, located at an area of confluence of ocean currents. Specifically, in iduals settling into the southernmost earlier in the season were genetically different from those settling later. The lack of overall genetic ergence in the presence of phenotypic variation indicates that larval environmental history during the dispersal of J. edwardsii could be a possible driver of the resulting phenotype of settlers.

Abstract: Palinurid rock (or spiny) lobsters constitute valuable seafood fisheries around the world. Post‐harvest mortality can have a substantial economic impact on the value of these fisheries and damage the brand identity of an otherwise fungible commodity. In this study, sudden, large‐scale mortalities in the Australian Rock Lobster industry were investigated through comprehensive haemolymph biochemistry panels, measurements of immune status and nutritional condition. A cohort of lobsters ( n = 25) was s led over a 4‐week period at a commercial processing facility, with the final s le occurring during a mortality event. A comparison of 22 biochemical parameters, including electrolytes, minerals, ions, metabolites and enzymes, showed a notable disruption in osmoregulation, protein content and enzymes during weeks 3 and 4 of the study. Haemocyte counts showed a decline in circulating haemocytes by the time of the mortality event along with a shift in the proportion of hyalinocytes to granulocytes favouring the former. The condition index was variable over the s ling schedule, possibly linked to observed incidences of cannibalism, with no evidence of an overall low condition that would explain mortalities. The lobsters s led in this study did not show any consistent or progressive changes in biochemistry that may indicate a pathogen or disease as a causative agent. Rather, analysis of the water quality within the facility suggested that mortality was due to sub‐optimal water quality characterized by a combination of two factors, a substantial decrease in the pH and potential nitrogen toxicity, that caused a physiological response comprised of an ion imbalance, altered enzyme activity and, ultimately, mortality. These results offer a comprehensive characterization of the impact of unexplained morbidity on the biochemistry and physiology of lobsters, illustrate the harm of sub‐optimal aquaculture practices and highlight the need for a better understanding of aquaculture practices and their effects on economically important seafood industries.

Abstract: Plasma growth hormone secretion in response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia was evaluated in cows undergoing an extended lactation. Twelve multiparous Holstein-Friesian cows that calved in late winter and were managed for a 670-day lactation by delaying mating. Four experimental periods of 40 days commenced at ~73, 217, 422 and 520 (±9.1 mean ± s.d.) days in milk (DIM) during which cows were in idually offered a diet of perennial ryegrass (73 and 422 DIM) or pasture hay and pasture silage (217 and 520 DIM) supplemented with either 1 kg DM grain (CONT) or 6 kg DM grain (GRAIN). Cows were fitted with jugular catheters during the final week of each experimental period. Seven blood s les over a 24-h period were collected and an insulin tolerance test was performed on each cow using a dose of 0.12 µU insulin/kg liveweight at ~100, 250, 460 and 560 DIM. This resulted in an increase in plasma growth hormone concentration occurring at 100 DIM, an intermediate and delayed response at 250 DIM, and no response at both 460 and 560 DIM. Cows in the CONT treatment had higher basal plasma growth hormone concentrations and tended to have a greater peak growth hormone response than GRAIN cows. The growth hormone response at 100 and 250 DIM is likely a homeorhetic mechanism to support milk yield during early-mid lactation. These observations are consistent with the known actions of growth hormone to promote lipid mobilisation, hepatic glucose production and an overall state of catabolism. With further research, the insulin tolerance test may be a useful tool to identify cows with greater growth hormone secretory response and increased milk production or persistency.

Abstract: Population structure of many marine organisms is spatially patchy and varies within and between years, a phenomenon defined as chaotic genetic patchiness. This results from the combination of planktonic larval dispersal and environmental stochasticity. Additionally, in species with bi-partite life, postsettlement selection can magnify these genetic differences. The high fecundity (up to 500,000 eggs annually) and protracted larval duration (12-24 months) and dispersal of the southern rock lobster, Jasus edwardsii, make it a good test species for chaotic genetic patchiness and selection during early benthic life. Here, we used double digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) to investigate chaotic genetic patchiness and postsettlement selection in this species. We assessed differences in genetic structure and ersity of recently settled pueruli across four settlement years and between two sites in southeast Australia separated by approximately 1,000 km. Postsettlement selection was investigated by identifying loci under putative positive selection between recently settled pueruli and postpueruli and quantifying differences in the magnitude and strength of the selection at each year and site. Genetic differences within and among sites through time in neutral SNP markers indicated chaotic genetic patchiness. Recently settled puerulus at the southernmost site exhibited lower genetic ersity during years of low puerulus catches, further supporting this hypothesis. Finally, analyses of outlier SNPs detected fluctuations in the magnitude and strength of the markers putatively under positive selection over space and time. One locus under putative positive selection was consistent at both locations during the same years, suggesting the existence of weak postsettlement selection.
