I know about the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) that can be transmitted onto shrimp (Vijayan et al. 2009). Are there any other crustaceans, molluscs or finfish that can be infected through polychaetes? For the aquaculture industry it is important that the broodstock nutrition has a specific pathogen free status (SPF). It defines that organisms within the feed should be free of pathogens including viruses, bacteria and parasites. I would further like to know that if the feed contains polychaetes which tests are routinely being conducted to proove this status (SPF)? I would be thankful for any information, advice or even scientific abstracts on the subject. You can also send me an email to gordonbock@web.de.

I have a departmental colleague with substantial experience looking at vitellogenesis in fish, but I'm hoping to find an invertebrate model that might be a good starting point for a master's theses project. I'm writing to the list because I need to get up to speed on endocrine control of oogenesis and induction of vitellogenin expression in annelids as quickly as I can. I would appreciate any information the group can provide or references that may be helpful. How is oogenesis & vitellogenesis controlled in annelids? Do annelids respond to exogenous estrogens? I've read that Lumbriculus varigatus accumulates some forms of estrogen from spiked sediment. Has anyone looked at physiological effects? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have a departmental colleague with substantial experience looking at vitellogenesis in fish, but I'm hoping to find an invertebrate model that might be a good starting point for a master's theses project. I'm writing to the list because I need to get up to speed on endocrine control of oogenesis and induction of vitellogenin expression in annelids as quickly as I can. I would appreciate any information the group can provide or references that may be helpful. How is oogenesis & vitellogenesis controlled in annelids? Do annelids respond to exogenous estrogens? I've read that Lumbriculus varigatus accumulates some forms of estrogen from spiked sediment. Has anyone looked at physiological effects? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Tracy, It is likely that nereidids are the best candidates for invertebrate model annelids, perhaps Platynereis dumerilii being the most researched? I should also like to recommend the papers of the 1999 volume of Hydrobiologia 402, republished in hardback by Kluwer as Developments in Hydrobiology 142, edited by Adriaan Dorresteijn and Wilfried Westheide. Its title is ' Reproductive Strategies and Developmental Patterns in Annelids. Two additional references with polychaete connections just noticed: Baker, M.E. (2008). Trichoplax, the simplest known animal, contains an estrogen-related receptor but no estrogen receptor: Implications for estrogen receptor evolution. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 375(4): 623-627. Tsai, P.S.; Zhang, L.H. (2008). The Emergence and Loss of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone in Protostomes: Orthology, Phylogeny, Structure, and Function. Biology of Reproduction 79(5): 798-805. Please can I request that when listers post references they should do it after the conventional citation style as above? Undisguised raw output pasted straight from commercial databases may just get us into trouble over copyright. If I notice it I will kill the posting and ask the poster to reformat, making it less obvious. Thank you.

The sample must be monitored very close, as the soap may destroy the most delicate tissues. I have not yet used that method, although I will try soon, as I also have an old, dried sample and the OK from the museum curator. I will let you know the results as soon as done, but if you decide to try first, please, share the results too ;-) .

Science 105(2725):318). As mentioned in the method described by Daniel Martin you need to monitor the re-hydration process as it depends on the permeability of the cell membrane. As we all know different species respond differently to a range of techniques. RECONSTITUTION OF DRIED MATERIAL 1 Make up a solution of 0.25-0.5% Tri-sodium Orthophosphate in distilled water. 2 Place dried specimen in this solution and leave covered at room temperature. Higher temperatures give a rapid reaction eg at 35 degrees dried leeches were completely re-constituted in 2 days. 3 Occasionally examine specimen to observe when it has become re-hydrated. Generally, polychaetes return to "normal" after 6-12 hours. 4 When specimen has returned to original size place in 30% alcohol for approx 12 hours, then 50% alcohol, finally 74% alcohol. 5 You may find several air bubbles are trapped under the body wall during the process and the specimen floats to the surface. These should be removed and the specimen re-immersed in the tri-sodium Orthophosphate solution. It seems to work like magic!

We use Decon* Contrad* 70 biodegradable Liquid Detergent. We soak the specimen in a diluted detergent solution for about a day or until the specimen has regained it "normal", hydrated shape. We then rinse well but gently with distilled water (at least twice). Make sure all detergent is out of tissue by letting specimen sit in distilled water for a bit of time, depending on size of specimen. The specimen is then fixed in formaldehyde 2-3% for a day and finally preserved in 70-80% ETOH. Of course, none of that will preserve your tissue for future DNA analysis :-( I hope this helps.

This is a little less drastic and may do less damage to the tissues if you need to do sections or something like that. Please remember that you will get out a distorted specimen no matter what, so measurements and detailed morphological description may be difficult, unless you can show that the rehydrated specimen matches other, similar specimens. If you use the soap solution, please be careful to wash it out before tossing the beast in regular preservatives.

Many authors have discussed these writings, but as previously noted, most of Darwin's references to earthworms do not define which species were under scrutiny (even though behavioural descriptions make some species recognisable). It was therefore determined that with the permission of English Heritage, the grounds of Down House (Darwin's home from 1842 to 1882 and the location of many of Darwin's observations recorded in FVM) would be surveyed for earthworms, where possible with direct reference to passages drawn from FVM. From what is known about the management of the land through the 125 years since Darwin's time, there appears to have been little change in its suitability for different kinds of earthworm, and Darwin's records can therefore be linked with some confidence to likely species. ..." >>> On 12/02/2009 at 8:11 a.m., "Geoff Read" wrote: > Greetings from Wellington, NZ, near the leading edge of Earth's dateline , > where already it is well into February 12th 2009, and Darwin's 200th birthday > anniversary. > > 200 years ago today in Shrewsbury, England, little Charlie made news for the > first time of many! > > Happy birthday to come Mr D. -- Geoff Read http://www.annelida.net/ http://www.niwascience.co.nz/ncabb/ About NIWA http://www.niwa.co.nz/about *************************** NIWA is the trading name of the National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research Ltd.
