Other Duties As Assigned: Fisheries Engineers
By Jeff Finley
Columbia Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office
Quite often we find ourselves working in areas outside of our position description. Whether by necessity or by talent, our employees frequently perform "other duties as assigned." Fortunately, my additional duty is one I dearly enjoy. I call it "Fisheries Engineering."
Some folks have specific abilities for analyzing data, writing scientific reports, working with volunteers, or an affinity for using software programs which make everybody's job easier. Recognizing these unique skills and abilities, supervisors frequently task these specialists to work their craft for the good of the agency. Not all additional duties are fun and exciting. Some are just necessary, but when they do align with an individual's particular passion, it results in an awesome day at work.
What is a Fisheries Engineer, you may ask? Coined from the true definition of engineering, a Fisheries Engineer can repair, replace, improve, design, fabricate and construct equipment used in sampling and collecting fish and aquatic organisms from the wild. Fisheries Engineering entails physics, mechanics, fabrication, welding and a lot of head scratching, and trial and error. Whether using steel, wood, plastics, aluminum, wire, line, chain, or netting, Fisheries Engineers construct equipment using an understanding of the habitats we sample, the behavior of the organisms we are trying to collect and the environmental and human extremes the equipment must endure.
Fish biologists are frequently confronted with the challenges of, "how can we catch species X, more of species Y, exclude species Z, while sampling in a specific habitat and keeping this gadget from breaking, again." Riverine habitats are often difficult to sample in because of their currents, flow, debris, grit, mud, rock and weather extremes. These considerations are all blended with field experience, a desire to dream and a preoccupation with tools, to ultimately spawn a Fisheries Engineer.

Fisheries Engineers save their station time and money by circumventing costly trips to the repair shop, getting their crews back on the water as quickly and safely as possible, and creating innovative devices. Not everyone has an engineering mind. There are few folks who can diagnose and repair a mechanical problem, imagine a better contraption, or that have the experience and skill to bring an idea to reality while knowing their limitations. They might help figure out why an outboard engine is overheating and correct the issue so crews can finish their work or get off the water before dark. They can wire multiple components for an electrofishing boat rather than buying an "off the shelf" boat at twice the cost. They'll weld what breaks, patch what leaks, replace what was lost and advance the science of fisheries by developing new gear and techniques, or modifying old ones.
Applying Fisheries Engineering at the Columbia Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office has resulted in the development of several techniques and tools for the advancement of fishery science. Examples include:
The push trawl uses forward facing, mechanically lifted booms to deploy an envelope style, zipper cod, small board, benthic trawl off of the front of a jet boat. This technique has proved itself as a valuable tool in sampling riverine habitats too deep, too swift or with substrate too soft to seine or too shallow for traditional stern trawls.
The paupier net is a modification of techniques used in gulf shrimp fisheries. The paupier uses two frames mechanically deployed perpendicular to the gunnels of a boat to scoop up pelagic fishes. The intent was to come up with a method to collect Asian carp. While we have developed a solid framing system, a net design to retain these wary, fast swimming fish is still in development. We incidentally discovered the paupier technique is an excellent tool to collect young paddlefish.
Drifting trammel nets in the river can be an arduous task with the vast amounts of small woody debris and sand waves which can repeatedly halt the lead line of a drifting net. A net mule is a chevron shaped device made of dimensional lumber tied with a lead to the far end of the net. It helps plow the net through these lesser snags using the power of moving water in the river's current.
Keeping a thousand baited ganions for trot lines organized and separated is not easy. Several attempts were made to prevent them from getting tangled up on a rough river ride. Additionally, pre-baiting the hooks in a heated shop in the morning is preferred to baiting on the water or shore exposed to the elements, and safer than bait-as-you-go with a line in the swift water. To do this we finally settled on a ganion box. Each box holds up to 500 baited hooks, hung sequentially from a steel rod. The large clips hang below and are clamped to the side of the box with a flap. The lid is closed for a neat, tidy and space saving method to safely deploy and retrieve the ganions.
Opportunities arise to cooperate with other branches of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Currently I am working with a "Malacology Engineer" from Ecological Services to solve some mussel sampling conundrums. We are in the process of developing a boat mounted washing and sorting stand for mussel quantification surveys. This stand will incorporate a space saving reel for the surface air supply line for the SCUBA diver and a freshwater pump to wash and sort the substrate sample collected by the diver.
We have tinkered around with other small projects like durable transducer brackets to replace the plastic ones, which inevitably break, various types of anchors to hold boats and gear in the swift waters of the Missouri River, racks to dry wet gear and drags to find lost nets and trawls. Those before me paved the way for stern trawling safely on the river and have built net wheels for cleaning nets and many other space and time saving devices.
The ingenuity and application has, and will continue, to help advance fisheries science from those whose minds think a little differently and understand how to speak the language of an engineer. I hope to identify the next person and one day pass the engineer torch to the next up and coming, "other duties as assigned: Fisheries Engineer."

During my AmeriCorps training, we had a Cardboard Connect workshop to highlight the difficulty of navigating homelessness in many different scenarios. If you are unfamiliar, Cardboard Connect is a simulation facilitated by One Roof that provides each participant with a random card describing a particular homelessness situation. The participant must go through the simulation to collect three things: a source of income, three meals, and a safe place to sleep. The scenario I chose was for a young stay-at-home wife with an abusive spouse. By the conclusion of Cardboard Connect, I couldn't find a job because I had no previous work experience. I ended up finding only two meals that day. Because I had no money of my own, I could not rent an apartment and since my spouse cut me off from my relatives and friends, there were no support networks for me to contact. All of the shelters filled their beds for the day meaning I had two options, neither of them safe: sleep outside or live with my spouse.
October is nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. And while conversations about supporting survivors to leave their abusers have been more prevalent, we are missing an important tangible issue. Where can these individuals and families go to escape intimate partner violence? Isolation and creating dependence are common abuse tactics. Meaning even if someone desperately wants to leave their abusive relationship, doing so could mean living on the streets. For many – and women, in particular – domestic violence is the primary cause of their homelessness. Without appropriate shelter and resources, victims of domestic violence who leave their abusers may simply be trading danger at home for danger on the streets. Additionally, abusive relationships are prone to escalation and many end up dying at the hands of their partners before finding the opportunity to escape. So far in 2016, domestic violence has resulted in 15 homicides in our community.
We cannot have a significant conversation about ending domestic violence if were are unwilling to talk about available resources and homelessness. One Roof is proud to partner with several agencies providing services to individuals fleeing domestic violence. The YWCA Central Alabama provides a range of services for domestic violence survivors, including confidential shelter for women and children. SafeHouse of Shelby County works to empower survivors to prevent further abuse by providing emergency and transitional housing. One Place Metro Alabama Family Justice Center is an upcoming collaborative organization that will provide free and confidential services to remove the barriers to reporting and seeking help. These organizations do substantial work in providing safe havens for survivors. However, there is still a pressing need for affordable housing in our community. We cannot expect to empower survivors or end the cycle of abuse, if we are unwilling to provide the necessary tools to create accessible, safe, and sustainable living outside of domestic violence.
If you are experiencing a domestic violence situation and need help, please call the Crisis Hotline at 205-322-4878.

IMAGES of BELIZE
This is a banner showing photos from Tony Rath Photography.
The history of the Stann Creek district is very much a story of the Garifuna people who make up the majority of its population. Beginning with West African slaves who escaped in two separate shipwrecks, the Garifuna exodus to Belize represents 200 years of staunch resistance to oppression and exploitation.
They began arriving in Belize in the early 1800's with the largest single group coming to Dangriga in 1832 from Roatan. The landing of those 200 Garifuna is still celebrated today on November 19th of each year, known as Settlement Day.
The Garifuna story begins on the island of St.Vincent to which captured Nigerians escaped after the shipwreck of two Spanish slave carriers. The captives managed to find refuge with the Carib Indians who were a mix of Carib people from South America and Arawak Indians who had occupied the area since 1000 AD.
By the middle of the 18th century the Garifuna, known then as Black Caribs, had become the dominant culture of St.Vincent, absorbing much of the Carib culture into their own and adopting many of their customs and practices in the process. Meanwhile the mounting colonial influence in the area continued with increasing numbers of British settlers arriving in St.Vincent.
After realizing that the British would never allow a free black community to live so close to their slave dependent plantations, the Garifuna began to try and drive the British off the island with repeated raids to their settlements. The skirmishes culminated in a single bloody battle that resulted in the capture of five thousand Black Caribs and the death of their leader, Joseph Chatoyer.
Concerned over the possible resurgence of the Black Caribs, the British shipped 2000 of them off to the island of Roatan, part of the Bay Islands near Honduras. Abandoned with supplies for just three months, many of the Garifuna died before being taken to Trujillo in Honduras by the Spanish. Further colonization and continued persecution caused what was left of this determined community to move again, this time to British Honduras, now known as Belize.
Today, Dangriga is the largest settlement of Garifuna in Belize. Other small communities along the Stann Creek District coast include Hopkins and Siene Bight. November 19th is a national holiday in Belize commemorating the landing of the garifuna in Dangriga and brings drums, dancing and food throughout the country.

International Fonts in Windows Forms and Controls
In International applications the recommended method of selecting fonts is to use font fallback wherever possible. Font fallback means that the system determines what script the character belongs to.
Using Font Fallback
To take advantage of this feature, do not set the Font property for your form or any other element. The application will automatically use the default system font, which differs from one localized language of the operating system to another. When the application runs, the system will automatically provide the correct font for the culture selected in the operating system.
There is an exception to the rule of not setting the font, which is for changing the font style. This might be important for an application in which the user clicks a button to make text in a text box appear in boldface. To do that, you would write a function to change the text box's font style to bold, based on whatever the form's font is. It is important to call this function in two places: in the button's Click event handler and in the FontChanged event handler. If the function is called only in the Click event handler and some other piece of code changes the font family of the entire form, the text box will not change with the rest of the form.
' Visual Basic Private Sub MakeBold() ' Change the TextBox to a bold version of the form font TextBox1.Font = New Font(Me.Font, FontStyle.Bold) End Sub Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click ' Clicking this button makes the TextBox bold MakeBold() End Sub Private Sub Form1_FontChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.FontChanged ' If the TextBox is already bold and the form's font changes, ' change the TextBox to a bold version of the new form font If (TextBox1.Font.Style = FontStyle.Bold) Then MakeBold() End If End Sub // C# private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Clicking this button makes the TextBox bold MakeBold(); } private void MakeBold() { // Change the TextBox to a bold version of the form's font textBox1.Font = new Font(this.Font, FontStyle.Bold); } private void Form1_FontChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // If the TextBox is already bold and the form's font changes, // change the TextBox to a bold version of the new form font if (textBox1.Font.Style == FontStyle.Bold) { MakeBold(); } }
However, when you localize your application, the bold font may display poorly for certain languages. If this is a concern, you want the localizers to have the option of switching the font from bold to regular text. Since localizers are typically not developers and do not have access to source code, only to resource files, this option needs to be set in the resource files. To do this, you would set the Bold property to true. This results in the font setting being written out to the resource files, where localizers can edit it. You then write code after the InitializeComponent method to reset the font based on whatever the form's font is, but using the font style specified in the resource file.
' Visual Basic TextBox1.Font = New System.Drawing.Font(Me.Font, TextBox1.Font.Style) // C# textBox1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(this.Font, textBox1.Font.Style);

Composting Hose Tractor Rehabilitation
Avonddale, PA United States
"This composting hose tractor is used in the mushroom growing industry, which has proven to be a highly corrosive environment. The tractor was originally painted using a high-performance system, but the coating only lasted one year before requiring replacement. New tractors cost the manufacturer tens of thousands of dollars each, and thus replacing them on an annual basis was cost prohibitive. Based on the performance of other hot-dip galvanized products in the mushroom composting operation, they decided to try using hot-dip galvanized steel on the tractor parts.
Hot-dip galvanizing was much less expensive initially than stainless steel, the other option considered, and the galvanizer was able to reuse the existing parts. Rehabilitating the tractors cost only a fraction of total replacement, and with a life expectancy of at least 15 years, the return on the investment was unmatched. Hot-dip galvanizing the 15 tractors will reduce equipment and maintenance costs providing the tractors composting ability uninterrupted for decades.
All recycled parts had to be cleaned and heavy rust and existing paint removed.
Vent and drain holes were added
This was a move toward high equipment maintenance and replacement costs .

Gartner, Inc. announced it forecasts that worldwide PC shipments will reach 385 million units in 2011.
For more information visit: www.gartner.com
Unedited press release follows:
Gartner Says PC Unit Growth in 2011 will Slow to 9.3 Percent as Consumers in Mature Markets Remain Cautious
Near-Term PC Growth Reliant on Professional Replacements
STAMFORD, Conn., June 8, 2011— Worldwide PC unit growth is projected to be slightly weaker in 2011 than the previous projection, according to Gartner, Inc.'s latest forecast. PC shipments are expected to grow 9.3 percent in 2011, reaching 385 million units. This is slightly lower than Gartner's previous projection of 10.5 percent growth for this year.
Throughout much of the last decade, PC unit growth was powered by consumers. With consumers from mature markets maintaining a tight rein on their spending in response to continuing economic uncertainty, and a lack of compelling reasons for consumers in general to replace their PCs, PC unit growth has slowed and must once again rely on businesses to drive it.
"Consumer mobile PCs are no longer driving growth, because of sharply declining consumer interest in mini-notebooks. Mini-notebook shipments have noticeably contracted over the last several quarters, and this has substantially reduced overall mobile PC unit growth," said Ranjit Atwal, research director at Gartner. "Media tablets, such as the iPad, have also impacted mobile growth, but more because they have caused consumers to delay new mobile PC purchases rather than directly replacing aging mobile PCs with media tablets. We believe direct substitution of media tablets for mobile PCs will be minimal."
PCs are transitioning from a one-size-fits-all computing platform to a more-specialized device, prized for its ability to complement other devices. "The PC market is experiencing dramatic structural changes," said Mr. Atwal." Moving forward, PCs will no longer be a market by themselves, but part of a larger device market that ranges from smart televisions to the most-basic-feature phones. Within this market, consumers and professionals will increasingly use the combination of devices that best suits their particular needs."
Over the next 18 months, PC growth will be supported by healthy professional replacements. "Businesses sharply reduced replacements and extended PC lifetimes in response to the recession," said Raphael Vasquez, research analyst at Gartner. "Businesses have begun replacing aging PCs more vigorously. We expect the growing urgency for businesses to migrate away from Windows XP will drive significant professional replacements."
Gartner has reduced expected 2011 Japanese PC unit growth to 2.4 percent in response to the March earthquake and tsunami. "Desk-based PC shipment growth has been significantly affected and business continuity plans are accelerating the shift to mobile PCs and alternate computing models," said George Shiffler, research director at Gartner. "However, the impact of Japan's twin disasters on worldwide PC shipment growth has been minor, and PC vendors have so far managed the threat of Japanese component disruptions."
Additional analysis is available in the Gartner on Demand webinar "Gartner PC and Media Tablet Forecast Update, 2Q 2011." The webinar is available at http://my.gartner.com/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=202&mode=2&PageID=5553&resId=1635714&ref=Webinar-Calendar.

The dispute between the Yiddish theatrical managers of New York City and the unions, which has caused the closing of nine Yiddish theatres, still remains unsettled. As a result of conferences which lasted all day Saturday and Sunday, during which the theatrical managers demanded that all employes agree to a 25 percent wage cut as a condition of their re-opening the theatres, no agreement was reached, the stage employes having been willing to cut their wages only from 10 to 15 percent.
During this week, however, meetings of members of individual Yiddish theatrical unions will be held and it is expected that some sort of an agreement with the managers will at last be arrived at. The Yiddish theatres were closed a week ago, after the managers declared that their financial losses, due to the present economic crisis, are too heavy for them at present to enable them to continue running the Yiddish theatres.

With Hanukkah right around the corner, those preparing for the eight-day festival of lights may be looking for eight days worth of kosher treats.
There is no need to make the trek into the outskirts of Boston to find kosher delights, as they can be located in numerous bakeries around the North Shore.
With Hanukkah right around the corner, those preparing for the eight-day festival of lights may be looking for eight days worth of kosher treats.
There is no need to make the trek into the outskirts of Boston to find kosher delights, as they can be located in numerous bakeries around the North Shore.
These rabbi-approved bake shops offer a variety of traditional holiday pastries and breads, including sufganiyot, rugelach, potato latkes and Challah bread.
So, before you light your first candle on the Menorah, make sure to stop by one of these neighboring businesses for a delicacy worth sharing.
Donuts with a Difference
LOCATION 35 Riverside Ave., Medford
HOURS Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday 7 a.m. to 12 p.m.
COST $9 a dozen and $5 for half a dozen.
This Medford eatery is busy baking up a storm of certified-kosher goods for the upcoming holiday season.
Donuts with a Difference sells many jelly-filled doughnuts — a traditional Hanukkah danish also known as sufganiyot — this time of year.
Owner Stephen Dulling says this item is popular year round, but he makes more jelly-filled doughnuts around the holidays.
Dulling took quite a few orders of several dozen jelly-filled doughnuts last holiday season, which was a little new to him.
Honey-dipped doughnuts are Dulling's most in demand item with jelly-filled pastries coming in at a close second. A steady stream of customers has kept the business around for 28 years, which Dulling says becomes much busier during the holidays.
Rabbis occasionally come in to the eatery to take a look around and make sure all of the products in the premises are kosher.
"Everything that you use in your bakery has to be kosher — every product that's in here has to be kosher and if there's something that isn't you have to throw it out," explained Dulling.
Newman's Bakery
LOCATION 252 Humphrey St., Swampscott
HOURS Tuesday-Sunday, 5 a.m. to 4 p.m.
While in Swampscott be sure to stop in to Newman's Bakery for any of your holiday cravings. Owned and run by siblings Bernard and Jessica Newman, the two offer a variety of sweets (all completely kosher) that will be sure to keep your mouth watering and stomach grumbling.
Rabbi Baruch HaLevi of Swampscott's Conservative Congregation Shirat Hayam has also certified Newman's as kosher for his Synagogue, which services about 2,000 people.
"We're the largest Synagogue on the North Shore," said HaLevi. "[Bernard] has been doing this for almost as long as I've been alive. His integrity and trust is above reproach, which is why I don't even need to go in there. I require nothing from him other than to keep doing what he's doing."
If it's pies you're looking for, Newman's may have them all — from blueberry to apple, pumpkin to banana nut, along with custard and lemon meringue — the Swampscott bakery has something for everyone.
"He's really very good at what he does," Jessica said about Bernard. "He does all the baking by himself."
While inside, don't forget to pick up some Rugelach (sold by the pound), potato latkes and Challah bread. Newman's also has dreidel cookies for children looking for a festive treat.
"We have beautiful Challah," Jessica said. "We make all the shapes. The grated, round and the loaf."
It is their miniature pecan rolls, however, that Jessica said the bakery is most famous for.
"People come and order them by the dozen," she added. "It's always been a big seller."
For the Newmans, the bakery is always hopping, and the holidays are no exception.
"Now, we're wild," Jessica said. "It's usually September through New Year's Eve that we're pretty crazy. It's wonderful because it's one holiday after another."
Zac & Ani's Bread
LOCATION 9 Liberty St., Newburyport
HOURS Tuesday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
COST Challah and cheese breads are $5.95 a loaf, other breads are $4.95 a loaf.
This kosher-certified bakery caters to the Jewish community, offering items such as Challah and cheese breads, and will take on custom orders on an individual basis.
Owner Brian Bienvenue has built up a reputation as the go-to bakery in town for specialty items.
"The local synagogue recommends us to everyone in the congregation," said Bienvenue. "We're the only kosher bakery in the area so we do pretty well by it."
The congregation will often purchase baked goods from Zac & Ani's for events such as birthday parties or Bar Mitzvahs, said Bienvenue.
The bakery, formerly of Amesbury, has been in business for three years but just moved to its Newburyport location one year ago. Bienvenue moved to the hot tourist spot to better cater to the different lifestyle of the town.
Zac & Ani's also offers an array of gluten free and vegan products, like their most popular chocolate fudge cupcakes with chocolate butter cream frosting.

Air Canada redefines Canadian map
However, my glee was short-lived. When I tried the East-West flight pass,
So what gives? Is Air
I'd say it's yet another example of our national airline not thinking about the consumer and missing the mark.Brace yourself, if you want to see this in action, you have to go through a typical AC maze-like experience. You need to click here, scroll down to the site map, scroll all the way down there to search, type in flight pass, click on the first hit, then click on North America Pass. Typical AC, you can't get there from here syndrome... (It was easier to click in the email link.)

Are You Forgetting Sales Leadership Is Situational?
How many times have we read or heard about leadership being situational? If any type of leadership is truly situational, it is sales leadership.
Leadership is first about leading yourself or self-leadership. From your own leadership efforts you secure your desired results.
Peter Drucker said "Leadership is all about results."
In sales, results do matter. For without the ability to increase sales, those in sales would be quickly unemployed.
When top sales performers meet with new sales leads, the nuances of their sales conversation will adapt to the situation. They understand people communicate differently. In many instances, top salespeople know and leverage their knowledge of DISC to further the sales conversation and ultimately the relationship.
CLICK HERE to Schedule a call with Leanne to learn more about DISC and how it impacts your sales leadership and sales results.
Those new to sales or who have just returned from the "latest and greatest sales training" event in many instances wear blinders. Their inexperience or recent learning conditioning has them so focused to follow a per-determined path they lose:
- The relationship
- Sales opportunity
Understanding how sales leadership is situational is incredibly important. Knowing what to say and when to say what to say always returns to the situation. Being present in the moment supports those strong leadership qualities from active listening to caring to respect.
Situational leadership happens from experience. For those new to sales, securing a mentor or even a sales coach may support further sales leadership growth.
Additionally, those who understand situational leadership in sales as well as in business know the importance of leaving one's ego at the door. These leaders recognize each meeting (think situation) is potentially different because the other person is different from the last person they met.
Each person is unique and what he or she values is unique.
If you want to increase sales, then start reflecting upon your own sales leadership. Find an accountability partner to review with you your recent sales meetings. And remember, your success is determined by your own willingness to recognize what you don't know.Share on Facebook

Thanks to BoingBoing, I now have a new all time favourite bug report (although, in all honesty, I didn't have a favourite bug report before this one).
From the report:
'I encountered a kernel panic with the 3.1.0 kernel on a Dell Latitude E6410 while inputting simultaneously from the integrated keyboard with a cat and from the external keyboard myself. I was trying to type my password with the external keyboard (pw dialog already visible), but I noticed that the computer didn't seem responsive to my typing. Then suddenly the cat shifted his position and there was a kernel panic involving input handling. I'm now using i8042.nokbd kernel parameter as a workaround, something I've found useful also earlier.'
Follow up comments to the bug report inlcude: 'Yes, it was a catastrophe', and 'Your cat wanted to find out what the magic in "magic SysRq key" means and pressed Alt+SysRq+C. The problem is that he did not consult Documentation/sysrq.txt first; the "C" does _not_ stand for "catnip".'

Lazarus & Associates Limited offer a range of services from consultancy, inspection and replacement membrane seals through to the design of new gasholders. The company has worked on water treatment sites, chemical plants, metal processing plants and steel mills both directly and indirectly through Main Contractors.
The company can offer gas storage solutions for almost any medium with the gasholder sized to meet your requirements starting from 500 M³ and ranging up to 150,000 M³.
For operators with certain other types of gasholder which are nearing the end of their life cycle, Lazarus & Associates Limited can also offer a package to convert them to the dry seal type gasholder which will extend their life cycle by many more years at a more cost effective way than building a brand new gasholder of any type of the same size.
Lazarus & Associates Limited are currently involved with a great many projects all over the World including one where two gasholders of the same size are being constructed side by side. These two gasholders will share the title of the biggest operational dry seal gasholders in the world.

Hatpin Urchin, Centrostephanus longispinus
The Hatpin Urchin (Centrostephanus longispinus) is a species of sea urchin belonging to the family Diadematidae. There are two subspecies, Centrostephanus l. longispinus, found in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea and Centrostephanus I. rubricingulus, found in the western Atlantic.
In the year 1940, Mortenson believed that C. longispinus and C. rubricingulus were closely related species but that they could be distinguished due to the fact that C. longispinus has smaller and fewer secondary interambulacral tubercles. In 1975, Fell re-examined the genus but was not able to find sufficient distinction to justify separating them into two species. He proposed that C. rubricingulus should be considered a subspecies of C. longispinus. He couldn't reliably distinguish the pair from C. besnardi except by the location from which they had been gathered. Additionally, he was unable to distinguish between the juveniles of C. coronatus and the juveniles of the other species.
C. longispinus has a small central test and spines up to 12 inches long. These are toxic and have the ability to cause a painful sting. The spines vary in length and are mobile and used for movement. There are numerous of club-shaped spines on the oral, meaning lower, surface, a trait that this species shares with C. besnardi and C. coronatus but not other members of the genus. These spines are a reddish brown and are tipped with a purple or pink pigment. The subspecies C. l. longispinus has spines that are banded in purple on a pale green, beige or whitish background. Juvenile C. I. rubricingulus have reddish brown colored spines on a pale background while the adults have either spines that are banded in brown on a pale brown or uniformly dark colored spines. It's been shown that C. longispinus has chromatophores that are sensitive to the light. By changing their shape, these modify the color of the animal which is changed from a night time black to a day time grayish brown.
C. longispinus can be found on the continental shelf on either side of the Atlantic Ocean. Its range stretches from the Mediterranean Sea and North African coast to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. The depth range is between 130 and 690 feet. Off of Florida this urchin is typically found on algae or on broken coral substrates, especially the rubble remains of dead ivory bush coral. It creates a portion of a species-rich community which includes other sea urchins, mollusks, crabs, polychaete worms, and encrusting organisms. These sea urchins aren't usually found on living reefs, perhaps because there is rarely macro-algae growing there or because predatory fish hiding amongst the coral heads consume the juvenile sea urchins.
Assessment of the contents of this urchin's stomach have shown that C. longispinus mainly feeds on several species of red algae. During the times of the year when this isn't available, it most likely consumes small invertebrate prey. In the laboratory they will feed on the sea grass Thalassia testudinum and may assault the starfish Narcissia trigonaria if it is hungry enough.
