1 Marine Algal Diversity and Abundance in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) Dr. Peter S. Vroom Ms. Kimberly N. Page-Albins Ms. Molly A. V. Timmers Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research, NOAA Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center Coral Reef Ecosystem Division
2 History of algal research in the NWHI USS Owl sister ship to the USS Tanager Roy Tsuda lobster trap covered with algae and invertebrates Isabella Abbott only ~12 algal papers in literature before 2002 almost all algal samples collected off lobster traps, field studies rare ~ 205 species reported for NWHI, compared to ~485 species in main Hawaiian Islands
3 CRED algal sampling protocol instigated in 2002 Algal sampling design is fully Integrated with fish, coral, and macroinvertebrate monitoring protocols Algal data collected: digitial photoquadrat image map of photoquadrat image detailed species list of algae from photoquadrat ranked abundance of algal genera from each photoquadrat voucher specimens of each species in photoquadrat Preskitt et al. (2004) A Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) Quantitative Survey Method for Benthic Algae using Photo Quadrats with SCUBA. Pacific Science 58:
4 CRED Qualitative Algal Surveys: 2000 present
5 CRED Antithamnion antillarum Polysiphonia scopularum Caulerpella ambigua Qualitative Algal Analyses French Frigate Shoals Gardner Pinnacles 166 species reported 75 species 800% reported increase 300% from increase Abbott from Abbott (1989) (1989) 47% marcroalgal species, 41% marcroalgal 53% turf or species, epiphyte 59% turf or epiphyte species species 2 species new to science 4 species new to Hawaiian archipelago Ceramium fimbriatum Centroceras clavulatum Vanvoorstia coccinea Cladophora hawaiiensis Heterosiphonia crispella
6 Species new to science Acrosymphyton brainardii Vroom & Abbott Scinaia huismanii Vroom & Abbott
7 Species new to science Dasya atropurpurea Vroom
8 Species new to science Sporochnus sp. Vroom & Abbott
9 Species new to the Hawaiian archipelago Halimeda distorta Bryopsis indica Gracilaria millardetii Laurencia sp.
10 CRED Quantitative Spatial Algal Analyses How do sites differ spatially around an atoll, particularly in terms of algal communities?
11 CRED Quantitative Spatial Algal Analyses Using a combination of: Multivariate statistics Multidimensional scaling (MDS) plots Field notes Geographic maps 7 biogeographical groups were interpreted at FFS based on benthic species composition and geographic area
12
13 Biogeographic Group 3: 17 sites along fore- and back- reef regions
14 Group 5 Group 7 Group 2
15 Pearl and Hermes Atoll Midway Atoll French Frigate Shoals Oahu
16 Are benthic communities structured by wave exposure? Ikonos satellite image of study sites at Pearl and Hermes Atoll. Different colors represent the four different wave exposure categories (n=34): red = high (n =5), yellow = intermediate- high (n=16), green = intermediate-low (n=10), blue = low (n=3).
17 Relationship of sites at Pearl and Hermes Atoll based on benthic percent cover surveys MDS ordination Cluster analysis Different colors represent the four different wave exposure categories: red = high, yellow = intermediate- high, green = intermediate-low, blue = low.
18 The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands contain algal dominated reefs
19 Temporal Analysis of Algal Communities at Gardner Pinnacles
20 Survey methods Towed Diver Surveys Rapid Ecological Assessments -Photoquadrats 2000, 2003, , 2004
21 Towed REA Diver Surveys Surveys Distinct clusters by year 2004 separated based on location
22 REA site surveys rgar-03 rgar-05 rgar-06 rgar-03 rgar-05 rgar-06 Turf algae Microdictyon setchellianum Corals Pocillopora meandrina Porites lobata
23 Pacific-wide Algal Comparisons
24 Future directions Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument has asked for a baseline study of algal populations to be completed. Taxonomic analysis of samples from majority of islands still incomplete. Data is in-hand for spatial and temporal analyses of algal communities. Funding being sought for completion of analyses.
