Three species currently addressed to Protohydnum (Auriculariales) are studied with morphological and DNA methods. The genus Protohydnum is retained for the type species only, P. cartilagineum, recently re-collected in Brazil. The European species, P. piceicola, is not congeneric with P. cartilagineum and, therefore, placed in its own genus, Hyalodon, gen. nov. Another Hyalodon species, H. antui, is described from East Asia. The third member of Protohydnum sensu lato, P. sclerodontium from South-East Asia, is transferred to Elmerina.

The taxonomy of Sistotremastrum (Trechisporales, Basidiomycota) is revised based on morphology and DNA data. The genus is shown to be polyphyletic, and therefore it is split into two units—Sistotremastrum s. str. and Sertulicium, gen. nov. (typified with Corticium niveocremeum). Sistotremastrum s. str. is retained for eleven species of which eight are described as new while Sertulicium encompasses at least six species, including one new to science. Both of these genera are only distantly related to other representatives of the Trechisporales. Additionally, a new poroid neotropical species, Porpomyces abiens (Hydnodontaceae), is described as morphologically similar to some members of Sistotremastrum s. str.

The utilization of grouper and snapper resources in Teluk Cempi, Teluk Waworada and the waters of Sape has not been carried out in a sustainable manner, so it is feared that it will interfere with stock availability and the sustainability of grouper and snapper fishery resources. This study aims to assess the status of management and policy strategies for sustainable grouper and snapper fisheries resource management. The data was collected by using a structured interview technique using a questionnaire, Focus Group Discussion, and public consultation. Analysis of the status of grouper and snapper fisheries resources using the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) indicator. The results showed that the condition of grouper and snapper fisheries management is classified as “Less” with an aggregate score 39.6. Sustainable grouper and snapper fisheries management strategies can be carried out through several efforts, including: regulating the allowable quota and fishing time, arrangement of fishing gear, development of artificial coral reef technology and mangrove rehabilitation controlling water quality, optimizing the use of selective fishing gear, livelihood alternatives, management working groups, development for facilities and infrastructure for fisheries supervisors and strengthen institutions (Pokmaswas), knowledge, attitude and practices assistance to fishing communities and formulation of management plan.
