    Notes: Abstract A simulation model was developed to describe linkages among fish food web, nutrient cycling, and contaminant processes in the southern basin of Lake Michigan. The model was used to examine possible effects of management actions and an exotic zooplankter (Bythotrephes) on Lake Michigan food web and contaminant dynamics. The model predicts that contaminant concentrations in salmonines will decrease by nearly 20% ifBythotrephes successfully establishes itself in the lake. The model suggests that this decrease will result from lowered transfer efficiencies within the food web and increased flux of contaminants to the hypolimnion. The model also indicates that phosphorus management will have little effect on contaminant concentrations in salmonines. The modeling exercise helped identify weaknesses in the data base (e.g., incomplete information on contaminant loadings and on the biomass, production, and ecological efficiencies of dominant organisms) that should be corrected in order to make reliable management decisions.

    Notes: Synopsis Cyprinid fishes apparently constituted the major part of the original fish fauna in Lake Luhondo, Rwanda, at least until 1934. At that time only three species, all cyprinids, were known from the lake:Barbus neumayeri, a small barbel, very common in the lake (described from the lake asBarbus luhondo) and two larger cyprinid species:Barbus microbarbis andVaricorhinus ruandae. These two large species were probably not very common in the lake. Between 1935 and 1938 some youngTilapia were introduced into Lake Luhondo. Since then and certainly since 1952 the large cyprinids seem to have disappeared completely from the lake. The smallBarbus neumayeri has become extremely rare; at present it survives only in some small tributaries of the lake. In the lake itselfTilapia andHaplochromis species are now the dominant fauna. A survey of the available information is given.

    Notes: Synopsis The characteristics of lightly and heavily exploited Pacific ocean perch,Sebastes alutus, stocks are evaluated relative to the predictions of life history theory. These long-lived species (50–100 year lifespan) show limited phenotypic plasticity and have little buffering against the effects of reduced lifespan. Reduced stock abundance has generated some compensatory increase in growth rate. Length at first maturity varies only slightly with increased growth rate, although age at maturity may decrease by 1–4 years. Grooth increases yield larger (15–20%) size at age and increased reproductive effort at younger ages, but lower size-specific fecundity for these faster-growing fish. This suggests an energy allocation protocol favouring growth over reproduction in these long-lived animals. Rockfishes have late recruitment to fisheries (ages 10–15), and the detection time for results of management actions is equally long. Their vulnerability to overfishing means that indices of population changes, more representative of fishing effects than the catch rate index presently used, are required. Reproductive value indices are shown to be extremely sensitive and continuous with population abundance changes. Their incorporation into monitoring programs would permit more timely evaluation of management actions. Management policies developed for shorter-lived species are shown to be inappropriate for rockfishes. The need for an improved match in the time frame of the species' life history, and that of management strategies, is stressed.

    Notes: Synopsis The age, growth, and sexual maturation of the leopard shark, Triakis semifasciata, from central California were studied. Growth band counts in vertebral centra of 162 leopard sharks produced von Bertalanffy growth curves with L∞, K. and to parameters of 1536 mm. 0.082, and -2.31, respectively, for both sexes combined. The L8 value for females (1602 mm TL) was slightly but insignificantly higher than for males (1499 mm TL), but the K and to values were almost identical. Seasonal changes in size modes of young-of-the-year leopard sharks, centrum edge characteristics, and growth and tetracycline mark-recapture from the field were used to validate annual deposition of vertebral centrum band pairs. Sexual maturity was evaluated by the gonads and presence of sperm and eggs; males mature at 7 yr and at about 63% of asymptotic length, and females mature at 10 yr, and at about 72% of asymptotic length. This slow growth, late maturity, and relatively low fecundity may increase their susceptibility to over-exploitation.

    Notes: Synopsis In October–December 1990, the large barbs (Barbus) that contribute more than 35% of the catch in lake Tana (northern Ethiopia) were studied. Previous authors (Rüppell 1837, Boulenger 1902,1911, Bini 1940) described from 6 to 23 (sub)species for the lake. Banister (1973) lumped all of these into one subspecies: Barbus intermedius intermedius Rüppell,1837. We found that the Lake Tana Barbus could be readily categorized in at least 13 discrete morphotypes, some of which were already distinguished by local fishermen. None of the known descriptions are adequate to distinguish the barbs unambiguously, which is important for monitoring and management of developing fisheries. Intermediates between morphotypes were rare (〈 10%). By applying canonical discriminant analysis on a set of 17 morphometric characters (including some directly associated with feeding) our initial morphotype-distinction was confirmed. Also, differences between the morphotypes in distribution, related to depth and substratum were found, as well as differences in intestinal contents, a key to the food-niche. The high number of piscivorous morphotypes (8 out of 13) was striking as piscivory is relatively rare among cyprinids. Piscivory was found to be highly correlated with morphological (feeding related) characters. The presence of discrete morphotypes, that also differ in food-niche and distribution, strongly suggests that several distinct populations exist, that may be (partly or completely) reproductively segregated. Knowledge about these populations, that may represent separate units of fish stock, is of crucial importance for the management of sustainable fisheries and protection of the biodiversity in Lake Tana. It is possible that several species or even a unique cyprinid species flock are present, that urgently need protection.

    Notes: Miniasters formed in mitotic sea urchin egg after treatment with 5% hexylene-glycol were investigated with the combined techniques of indirect immunofluo-rescence using anti-tubulin and anti-51 kD protein antibodies and electron microscopy.The formation of miniasters was dependent on the mitotic cycle. In the cytoplasm of eggs treated with hexyleneglycol at early prometaphase, a small number of microtubule fragments was observed, whereas in those treated at pro-metaphase, many miniasters and microtubule fragments were seen. When treated at metaphase, we found a great number of miniasters: 250-350 in one egg. In contrast, no miniasters were seen in eggs treated at anaphase, although many long microtubules that spread throughout the cytoplasm were observed. In the eggs treated at telophase, we scarcely noticed microtubule structures in the cytoplasm. In the center of miniasters, granules were found, showing the same size and electron density as those of the microtubule-organizing granules (MTOGs). Furthermore, the 51 kD protein, a component of the centrosome and mitotic spindle, was observed to be localized in the region of miniasters.

    Notes: Vinculin and talin are adhesion plaque proteins which have been shown to interact with each other in vitro. In order to begin to investigate where the talin-binding domain is in vinculin, vinculin was digested with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease to generate two major fragments of 85 and 30 kDa, and these fragments were purified. Nitrocellulose overlays with 125I-talin and the 125I-85 kDa vinculin fragment and sucrose density gradient centrifugation demonstrated that the talin-binding domain was localized to the 85 kDa vinculin fragment. Quantification of 125I-talin binding in the overlays showed that four times more talin bound to the 85 kDa fragment as compared to intact vinculin. Competitive immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that unlabeled 85 kDa fragment, was about three fold more effective at competing for 125I-85 kDa binding to talin than was unlabeled vinculin. These results suggest that the 30 kDa fragment inhibits the vinculin-talin interaction even though the talin-binding domain is localized in the 85 kDa fragment.

    Notes: Confluent and proliferatively quiescent T51B rat liver epithelial cells provide a cellular model for the study of epidermal growth factor (EGF) effects in non-neoplastic cells. Immunoreactive calpactin II, a well-known substrate for EGF-receptor kinase, was found predominantly in the cytosol, although a second im-munoreactive pool was found in a Triton X-100-extractable membrane fraction. Stimulation with EGF resulted in a rapid and transient (2-;5 min) formation of ruffles at the cell surface and at the cell-cell contacts. Both calpactin II and filamentous actin were found co-localized at the membrane ruffles. Immunopre-cipitations of membrane-bound calpactin II from 32P-labeled cells indicate a transient EGF-dependent phosphorylation of calpactin II correlating with membrane ruffling. These results suggest a temporal (2-5 min) function for calpactin II at the plasma membrane during the EGF-induced mitogenesis of T51B cells.
