Analysis of maturity stages of herring samples taken from the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence shows two maturation cycles for spring and autumn spawning herring. The spring population has a spawning peak in May and the summer–autumn population extends spawning from July through September. Spawning grounds of spring and autumn herring populations and their nursery areas are mapped.

The Vertical Distribution

Knowledge of the vertical migration behaviour of postlarval penaeid prawns is important in understanding postlarval migration from offshore spawning grounds to estuarine nursery areas. We sampled throughout several 24-h periods in two estuaries in Australia to assess the distribution of postlarvae in the water column. We used four trawl nets: one net in the top 0.5 m of the water column and three nets one above the other, from the seabed to 0.72 m above the seabed. Penaeus plebejus was abundant in catches in the Nerang River, southern Queensland, while Penaeus semisulcatus, Penaeus esculentus and Penaeus merguiensis were caught in the Embley River, northern Queensland. For all species, the highest catches at the surface were on night flood tides. Many postlarvae in the Embley River were caught in nets above the seabed on ebb tides, suggesting that net migration patterns cannot be determined simply by sampling surface waters. The vertical distribution of penaeid postlarvae is determined primarily by tide and day/night; however, water turbidity and cloud cover, factors that reduce light at the seabed, are also likely to be important. All these aspects of postlarval behaviour should be included in hydrodynamic models of larval advection from spawning grounds to inshore nursery areas.

L. calcarifer undergoes a prolonged breeding season that starts just before the summer monsoon. In Van Diemen Gulf the fish spawned in 1978-1979 from September to February, and in the Gulf of Carpentaria in 1979-1980 from November to March. Spawning was localized, occurring near river mouths on coastal mudflats or upstream in rivers where salinities were relatively high (30). There was no evidence for coastal migrations to specific spawning grounds. Juveniles from 9 mm total length entered, on the high spring tides, supralittoral habitats such as tidal pools, gutters, swamps and low- lying inundated coastal floodplain for use as nursery areas.

Salmon Fry

No distinct length, weight, or behavioral differences associated with place of capture in the river were observed, indicating that all fry are susceptible to downstream displacement. A minimum of 7.5 million (18%) of the fry produced passed through a counting fence below the spawning grounds. Others reached quiet waters inshore, where they progressively developed behavioral characteristics that enabled them to ascend the river and reach lake nursery areas above. Two million fry ascended an improvised ladder spanning an area of turbulence at the base of the fence. Construction of leads and baffles at strategic places below the fence could help fry reach shore sooner and increase numbers reaching the lake.

Bacterial biofilms represent a promising opportunity for engineering of microbial communities. However, our ability to control spatial structure in biofilms remains limited. Here we engineerEscherichia coliwith a light-activated transcriptional promoter (pDawn) to optically regulate expression of an adhesin gene (Ag43). When illuminated with patterned blue light, long-term viable biofilms with spatial resolution down to 25 μm can be formed on a variety of substrates and inside enclosed culture chambers without the need for surface pretreatment. A biophysical model suggests that the patterning mechanism involves stimulation of transiently surface-adsorbed cells, lending evidence to a previously proposed role of adhesin expression during natural biofilm maturation. Overall, this tool—termed “Biofilm Lithography”—has distinct advantages over existing cell-depositing/patterning methods and provides the ability to grow structured biofilms, with applications toward an improved understanding of natural biofilm communities, as well as the engineering of living biomaterials and bottom–up approaches to microbial consortia design.
