1985 - a major effluent pipeline was about to begin discharging industrial effluent over a shallow continental shelf area in Richards Bay
1985 - surface plankton samples were collected, over several years, to assess the diversity of fish species spawning in the area, and the intensity and seasonality of spawning.
1986 – a second study in Park Rynie was started in order to collect alive specimens.
1987 – cataloguing of eggs and hatched larvae started
2004 – DNA Barcoding was added to the procedure(including sampling of adults for reference library)
History

Work flow
• By collecting both offshore (5km) and inshore (0.5km) a reasonable assessment of location of spawning was obtained for all the common eggs in the study area.
• A simple “key” based on the physical features of pelagic fish eggs, was used to separate eggs into basic groups.
• eggs were hatched and both eggs and larvae were photographed.
• once larvae had fully pigmented eyes, theywere anaesthetised with MS222, prior to fixing in 98% alcohol for DNA Barcoding.
• other larvae were reared to the point where fin counts and juvenile features aided in identification.

Work flow
• DNA extraction was done using standard protocols at the CCDB.
• A reduced elution volume was used.
• PCR used Fish Cocktail (Ivanova 2007).
• Sequences were queried against BOLD using its Identification Engine (only 100% were considered).
• reared larvae of the same batch were fixed in formalin and serve as‘para-vouchers’

Today
• some 2100 larvae have been barcoded since 2005
• the local adult reference library (assembled in parallel) contains some 900 species
• some 1500 species of marine fishes from South Africa are barcoded
• 9000 fish species have been barcoded world-wide

# barcodes
• PD calculated using Conserve based on NJ trees generated in MEGA 4.0
• Sample size progressively increased by 10 random sequences

Results
• 1638 specimens (78%) could be identified using BOLD
• they represent 280 known species
• 10 of those are new records for South Africa
• the remaining 22% could not be matched to any barcode sequence on BOLD or GenBank.

Some observations

Mean monthly eggs per sample, averaged over 24 years
Trends
![Page 11: Dirk Steinke - Vertebrates Plenary](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55625436d8b42aa52d8b52b4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Trends
• large rainfall causing mud to be washed out from rivers• the high nutrient load of such a deluge caused massive increase in egg
numbers• three most prolific pelagic egg spawners: Sardinops sagax, Etrumeus
teres, and Scomber japonicus
