“…Bays and estuaries are considered hotspots for species introductions via fouling on ships and the dumping of ballast water (Rocha et al, 2013;Bumbeer & Rocha, 2016;Ferrario et al, 2017). Recent studies have indicated other possible routes of non-native species introductions.…”

“…For example, Campbell et al (2017) reported that floats and plastic ropes used in aquaculture installations can serve as artificial substrates for encrusting organisms, including serpulid polychaetes. Among the water-borne anthropogenic materials that have drawn attention in recent years, plastic is known to act as a vector for non-native species dispersal (Ruiz et al, 1997;Bumbeer & Rocha, 2016;Campbell et al, 2017). Zibrowius (1970) pioneered the study of the Serpulidae in Brazil.…”

Species of Serpulidae are common on benthic and biofouling communities, occurring attached on both natural and artificial substrates. In this paper, Serpulids were collected from intertidal to subtidal areas, on rocky shore and suspended artificial plates in port areas. Herein we report three new records of serpulid species to the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We also discuss the misidentification of Spirobranchus tetraceros, which was previously reported to the north of Rio de Janeiro.

“…Thus, many NIS found in Currais MPA at low abundances may become invasive, or new species may expand their distribution to Paraná. As has been observed in another MPA located in the southern neighboring state of Santa Catarina (the Biological Reserve of Arvoredo -see Metri & Rocha 2008, Bouzon et al 2012, Cavallari et al 2012, there are many NIS in the Currais MPA, which endangers the value of this area for biodiversity conservation (Bumbeer & Rocha 2016).…”

“…Also, Currais islands was at one time (prior to creation of the MPA) an important area for both recreational and artisanal fisheries and also the main site for recreational scuba diving in Paraná. The Currais MPA is also under the influence of continental drainage from the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex, with anthropogenic impact that potentially threatens local biodiversity, such as contamination by urban and industrial development (Noernberg et al 2008, Possatto et al 2014) and bioinvasions (Bumbeer & Rocha 2016). Indeed, the presence of a large port with its ship traffic probably favors the spread of non-indigenous species (NIS) to the open coastal environment, including Currais MPA (Bumbeer & Rocha 2016).…”

This study describes the biodiversity of benthic invertebrates on hard substrates in the Currais Marine Protected Area (Currais MPA), in the state of Paraná. The benthic community was sampled during 2012 to 2015, in winter and summer, at two islands and four groups of artificial reefs (ARs). Samples were collected along shallow (2-4 m) and deep (6-8 m) transects at the islands and ~18 m transects at the ARs. We also searched the literature to review all published records of benthic invertebrates on hard substrates in the Currais MPA. We recorded 176 taxa in the phyla Annelida (class Polychaeta), Arthropoda (class Maxillopoda, order Sessilia), Bryozoa, Cnidaria, Chordata (class Ascidiacea), Echinodermata, Mollusca and Porifera, in 13 classes, 40 orders and 75 families. With these 102 new records, our list comprises 58% of all recorded species. Of these, 58 taxa were first records for the state of Paraná. This remarkable number of new records highlights that biodiversity studies are lacking in Paraná. Fifteen non-indigenous species and one endangered species, the sea star Coscinasterias tenuispina (Lamarck, 1816), are included. This is an important transitional area to monitor expansion or constriction of the latitudinal distributions of species, in the context of climate change, that may influence the geographical distribution of species (both native and invasive). This study is the first inventory of marine hard substrate habitats of the Currais MPA with a surprisingly diverse community.

Unravelling the taxonomic identity ofOphiothelaVerrill, 1867 (Ophiuroidea) along the Brazilian coast

Since 2012, when Ophiothela was first described in the Atlantic, there has been no consensus regarding its identification. It has been described as O. mirabilis, O. cf. mirabilis, O. danae, or only Ophiothela sp. In order to fill these gaps, our aim was to test if specimens from Brazil are Ophiothela mirabilis and/or Ophiothela danae. Syntypes from the Museum of Comparative Zoology and United States National Museum, Smithsonian Institution, were used. We examined species boundaries of the small six-rayed brittle star Ophiothela using independent character sets utilizing morphology (external morphology and morphometry) and molecular data (16S and COI). Concordance was found between the analyses indicating that Ophiothela sp. from Brazil (BR), Ophiothela mirabilis and Ophiothela danae are closely related. We suggest that O. danae should be considered as a junior synonym of O. mirabilis. A detailed description of O. mirabilis BR is presented using external morphology and microstructural ossicles (arm plates, vertebra, dental and oral plates). This description includes new diagnostic features, particularly regarding its microstructures: (i) transspondylous articulation (first record in Ophiotrichidae); (ii) eight smooth knobs on the dorsal surface of the vertebrae (to date only in Ophiothela); (iii) vertebrae with distal keel divided into two separate end processes matching the two large dorsal grooves proximally (first time in the literature); and (iv) an opening on both sides of the oral plate (as seen in other fissiparous species Ophiactis savignyi and Ophiocomella ophiactoides).
