Pre-print Volume - Posters Topic 2: MARINE ORGANISMS AND ECOSYSTEMS AS MODEL SYSTEMS Results – In agreement with scientific literature on monitoring of perfluorinated acids in biota, PFOS was the predominant fluorochemical in the combers analyzed. PFOS was found at concentrations above LOD (0.5 ng/g wet weight) in 6 out of 20 samples. The greatest concentration of PFOS in liver of comber was 8.5 ng/g wet weight. PFOS levels are lower than the mean level (176.3±12.8 ng/g w.w.) found in liver of brown comber (Serranus hepatus) from the Augusta Gulf (Southeastern coast of Sicily) and higher than the concentration of PFOS in hepatic tissue (

HABITAT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CHOICE OF NESTING SITE IN SYMPHODUS OCELLATUS (FORSSKAL) REQUISITI DI HABITAT PER LA SCELTA DEL SITO DI NIDIFICAZIONE IN SYMPHODUS OCELLATUS (FORSSKAL) Abstract – This study is aimed to assess the habitat requirements for nesting site in the fish Symphodus ocellatus (Forsskal) (Labridae). For this reason a set of biotic and abiotic variables has been collected in 84 areas surrounding the nests during summer 2009 in a coastal area of southern Tyrrhenian Sea (Sicily). The influence of variables on the habitat requirements of nesting site was studied by Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCO). The result showed that presence of Dictyotales and high canopy algal forms represented the elective requirements for the choice of nesting site. Key-words: habitat selection, nesting, marine fish, Tyrrhenian Sea. Introduction - The choice of nesting site is a process that can have important effects on fitness of several animal species (Boulinier et al., 2008). Indeed, many abiotic and biotic factors have a strong influence on reproductive success. For marine fishes that build nest during the reproduction, the selection mechanisms of the site are quite unknown. The knowledge of habitat requirements for nesting is the first step in order to understand these mechanisms of selection. Several authors performed an evaluation of the habitat requirements for marine fishes, on various life history stages, by correlating different environmental variables with their abundance (La Mesa et al., 2002; Letourneur et al., 2003). The aim of this work is to evaluate the habitat requirements for the choice of nesting site in the Labridae fish Symphodus ocellatus (Forsskal) used as a model. Materials and methods - We performed runs of samplings during summer 2009 along the north-west Sicilian coast (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea). Data have been collected on 84 nests using underwater observations according to a standard protocol. During sampling the following biotic and abiotic variables have been recorded: slope of the substrate; presence (%) of the most abundant algal taxa such as Dictyotales, Cystoseira sp. and Jania rubens; presence of sandy substrate; depth of nest (in meters); type of cavity used for nest building (crevice/hole); average algal canopy height surrounding the nest. We expressed all variables in numerical ranks and the influence of these variables on the habitat requirements of nesting site of the S. ocellatus have been studied by PCO (Principal Coordinate Analysis). Results - The results of the distribution patterns of the variables are plotted in Fig. 1. The first two axes explained 41.2% of the total variance (PCO1 23.9%; PCO2 17.3%). Presence of J. rubens, Dictyotales, Cystoseira sp. and canopy variables affect the most the distribution of samples. The results show that samples are concentrated principally around the Dictyotales and algal canopy variables. 41 st S.I.B.M. CONGRESS Rapallo (GE), 7-11 June 2010 136
