After 48 hours, traps were checked and if at least 10 crabs were found in the traps we deployed an array of 17 Vemco VR-2Tx hydroacoustic receivers attached to PVC poles set into concrete bases. The GPS location of each receiver was recorded and each was approximately 100 meters from any other receiver. We then placed Vemco V9 hydroacoustic tags on the backs of 9 to 11 crabs using aluminum wire and released them at the center point of the receiver array. The size and sex of each crab was recorded prior to release. After 48 to 72 hours, the receivers were retrieved and the raw hydroacoustic data were downloaded and analyzed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The potential pathways of tagged crabs were estimated using a Center of Activity analysis following Simpfendorfer et al (2002). Estimates of latitude and longitude were made from the mean center of detections within the receiver array over 15-minute intervals for each transmitter. The mean center at a given time was weighted relative to how many receivers detected a transmitter during an interval (e.g., if a crab transmitter was recorded 3 times, 2 times and 15 times on receivers A, B and C respectively then the mean would be the average position of 3 × receiver A + 2× receiver B + 15 × receiver C). Bearings and velocities were calculated from the position estimate at the last interval. If a transmitter was not detected during the previous analysis interval, a position estimate would be recorded, but no bearing or velocity would be recorded, and the crab was considered inactive. This ensured that velocities and bearings were only recorded during times at which a crab was actively moving to best couple the appropriate environmental data. If a crab was absent for many sequential intervals while within the array, it was assumed to have buried or otherwise masked its transmitter. Analysis was conducted between the first and last position estimate for each crab within the array to encompass only the timespan when the crab was known to be detected by the array.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Tidal impact was examined using tide and&amp;nbsp;current data from NOAA stations nearest the site locations.&amp;nbsp; Values were obtained from the NOAA Tide and Current Dataserver:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Virginia site location used&amp;nbsp; the Wachapreague, VA station (# 8631044)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Jacksonville site location used the _________ station (# 8719525 (??)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;StPeteMay site location used the Clearwater Beach, FL station (# 8726724)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The values are&amp;nbsp;height from MLLW (mean lower low water--relative to the water level at the lowest daily low tide).

Collaborative research: Variation in life history and connectivity as drivers of pathogen-host dynamics and genetic structure in a trans-hemispheric pathosystem https://osprey.bco-dmo.org/project/739621 Collaborative research: Variation in life history and connectivity as drivers of pathogen-host dynamics and genetic structure in a trans-hemispheric pathosystem <p>NSF Award Abstract:</p> <p>Marine invertebrates use an array of strategies to survive, move, and reproduce across diverse and dynamic environmental conditions. This project investigates the intersection of these strategies and how they facilitate the persistence of blue crabs and a pathogenic virus along the Atlantic coast of North and South America. The widespread distribution of this crab-virus system makes it useful for investigating host-pathogen interactions. Blue crabs can reduce their activity level and induce winter dormancy in colder climates, but it is unclear how this alters progression and transmission of the pathogen. Conversely, year-round growth and reproduction of tropical blue crabs may be offset by higher pathogen abundance and activity. This project will use a combination of field and laboratory studies to reveal how crab life history and pathogen dynamics interact and adapt at the extremes of their range. Genetic sequencing, crab movement tracking and oceanographic models will be used to understand how crab-disease dynamics vary across temperate and tropical latitudes. The blue crab is an ecologically and economically important species and knowledge generated in this project will help provide management guidance to support sustainable fisheries. Best practices to avoid and limit disease will be communicated to commercial and artisanal harvesters through partnerships and workshops. Local high school and undergraduate students from underrepresented groups will be engaged through a variety of formal and informal educational programs. Public outreach will be implemented through a museum partnership with the Shedd Aquarium and will include the training of a science communication intern.</p> <p>This collaborative project will combine empirical field and laboratory experiments, population genomics, and biophysical modeling to explore the consequences of latitude-driven changes in life history and oceanic connectivity on a trans-hemispheric pathosystem comprised of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, and the pathogenic virus, CsRV1. The virulence of the CsRV1 virus from tropical and temperate latitudes and the impact of overwintering will be studied by experimental virus challenges of crabs transplanted between high and low latitudes. The impact of infection and virulence on crab movement will be investigated in laboratory raceway experiments of healthy and infected crabs and in the field with acoustically tagged crabs deployed in temperate and tropical locations. Population genetic studies using thousands of genome-wide RAD sequencing markers for crabs and whole-genome sequencing for the virus will define genetic connectivity of crab and virus populations across their range, and will investigate the possible latitudinal, seascape, and life history-driven changes in blue crab and virus genomes. The two population genomic data sets are expected to provide different inferences and scales of connectivity because CsRV1 virus genotypes are transmitted only among post-larval crabs while blue crab genotypes also move by a potentially long-range dispersive larval stage. Finally, integrated biophysical models will be used to investigate the relative contributions of adult and larval dispersal on the population structure of the crab and the pathogen across a broad swath of habitat between New England and Argentina with a decade of simulations. An open-source Lagrangian stochastic model will estimate pelagic larval transport, and spatially explicit biased-correlated random walk models will estimate adult movement. Models will be informed by experimentally-derived movement and behavior data, as well as information on crab larval and adult behavior and overwintering duration available in the published literature. Under a series of scenarios in which crab behavior is affected by latitude and virus infection, statistical comparisons will be made between biophysical model-based predictions of connectivity and genetic estimates of connectivity. These analyses will advance our understanding of the physical, environmental, and biological factors that shape the dynamics of the blue crab CsRV1 pathosystem.</p> Blue Crab Connectivity largerWorkCitation project eng; USA biota oceans -82.80439 -75.5965 27.7004 37.62097 2019-05-21 2020-02-03 Atlantic coast of north and south America from Massachusetts to Southern Brazil, Caribbean 0 BCO-DMO catalogue of parameters from Hydroacoustic tracking data from blue crabs released in receiver arrays along the Atlantic coast from May 2019 to Feb 2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) Unavailable 508-289-2009 WHOI MS#36 Woods Hole MA 02543 USA info@bco-dmo.org http://www.bco-dmo.org Monday - Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm For questions regarding this resource, please contact BCO-DMO via the email address provided. pointOfContact http://lod.bco-dmo.org/id/dataset-parameter/867615.rdf Name: ISO_DateTime_UTC Units: unitless Description: <p>Date and time (UTC) formatted to ISO8601 standard.
