Previous records reported Online first: 29 August 2018 that Turkey had 102 brachyuran crab species, only five of them being economically important, but this review identifies two more species, Inachus phalangium and Ashtoret lunaris. The Aegean Sea has more crab species than the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. Keywords: The most harvested species are Callinectes sapidus, Maja squinado, Eriphia Decapoda verrucosa, Carcinus aestuarii and Portunus segnis, respectively. This review Brachyura shows that there have been fluctuations in the harvest of marine crabs Distribution between years, the lowest being 5 tonnes in 2015 and the highest, 2116 Fisheries tonnes in 1984. The information provided in this review provides a basis Economy for potential profitable development of conservation and management Turkey strategies of marine crabs in Turkey.

In of this World Crustacean production in 2011, comprised early records, 102 brachyuran crabs were reported from of shrimp 58%, crabs 27% and lobsters 5% (Karadurmuş the Turkish coasts (Kocataş and Katağan, 2003; Ateş et al., and Aydın, 2016). Both marine and freshwater crabs are 2010). This was supplemented: in 2013, Duris et al. reported edible and used in many industrial fields, e.g. medicine, Inachus phalangium in the Aegean, and in 2015, Turan et pharmacy, cosmetics, feed industry, agriculture and al. reported Ashtoret lunaris in the Mediterranean.

  • Notes on the Occurrence of Some Poorly Known Decapoda (Crustacea) in the Southern North Sea
    NOTES ON THE OCCURRENCE OF SOME POORLY KNOWN DECAPODA (CRUSTACEA) IN THE SOUTHERN NORTH SEA by J. P. H M ADEMA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, The Netherlands F CREUTZBERG & G J VAN NOORT Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, Texel, The Netherlands With 9 text-figures, 6 tables, 5 maps INTRODUCTION Since April 1972 an ecological trawl-survey programme has been undertaken by the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Texel, in the southern North Sea with the R. V. "Aurelia". The main object is to obtain information on distribution, density, biomass and fluctuations of crawling or swimming demersal (epibenthic) fauna such as small fishes, shrimps, prawns, crabs, asteroids, ophiuroids and some gastropods, for the evaluation of the role of these carnivores in the benthic ecosystem of the southern North Sea. Sedimentological aspects of the area are described by Creutzberg & Postma (1979). Within the context of the present paper the most important feature is the mesh of 5 x 5 mm2 of the cod end of the 5V2 m beam-trawl used and the extensive area of 5000-10,000 m2 covered during each haul. These exceptional circumstances resulted into faunistically interesting catches which gave rise to a cooperation with taxonomic specialists of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie (RMNH), Leiden. The present paper deals with decapod crustaceans, collected during "Aurelia"-cruises, which are considered to be scarce or rare in the southern North Sea, completed with data from bottom-samples and other sources The species in question are: Pandalina brevirostris, Spirontocans lilljeborgii, Alpheus macrocheles, Pontophilus spinosus, Pontophilus bi.spino.sus, Galathea dispersa, Ebalia tubero.sa, Ebalia tumefacta, Ebalia cranchii, Atelecyclus rotundatus, Monodaeus couchii, Callianassa subterranea, Callianas.sa tyrrhena, Upogebia stellata and Upogebia deltaura Of the genus Macropodia a number of specimens have been collected, which partly were identified as M.

Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

  • BIOLOGY SYMPOSIUM ONLINE 2020 ABSTRACTS.Pdf
    UNIVERSITY OF MALTA Department of Biology BIOLOGY ABSTRACTS 2020 B.Sc. (Hons) M.Sc. Ph.D Edited by David Dandria November 2020 i ERA was set up in April 2016 to safeguard the environment in order to achieve a sustainable quality of life. This ERA achieves by mainstreaming environmental targets and objectives across Government and society and by taking the leading role in advising Government on environmental policy- making at the national level, as well as in the context of international environmental negotiations. Evidence-based policy covering all environmental topics is developed by ERA and is backed by a robust data gathering structure. The Authority also draws up plans, provides a licensing regime, monitors activities having an environmental impact and integrates environmental considerations within the development control process. ERA is instrumental in the formulation and implementation of legislation aimed at designating protected areas harbouring important habitats and species, as well as legally protecting many species of flora and fauna. The Flora, Fauna and Natural Habitats Protection Regulations, 2006 (SL 549.44) are an important legal instrument in this respect. These Regulations, together with the development of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), are significant contributions to the conservation of Malta’s biodiversity. This booklet has been partly funded by the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA). Any views expressed are those of the authors and are not to be considered as the views of ERA.

  • First Record of the Moon Crab Ashtoret Lunaris (Forskål 1775) from Turkish Waters
    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 21, No. 3: 328-333 (2015) SHORT COMMUNICATION First record of the moon crab Ashtoret lunaris (Forskål 1775) from Turkish waters Cemal Turan1*, Ali Uyan1, Deniz Ergüden1, Mevlüt Gürlek1, Servet A. Dogdu1, Necdet Uygur2 1Marine Sciences and Technology Faculty, Iskenderun Technical University, TR31220 Iskenderun, Hatay, TURKEY 2Maritime Vocational School, Iskenderun Technical University, Iskenderun, Hatay, TURKEY *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The first record of the moon crab Ashtoret lunaris (Forskål 1775) is reported for the Turkish waters. Four specimens of A. lunaris were captured in Iskenderun Bay, Northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey at depth about 17m by gill net on 18 August 2015. The moon crab is the first non-native crab from the family Matutidae established in the Turkish coast. Keywords: Moon crab, Ashtoret lunaris, first record, Turkish waters, lessepsian migrant The Levantine upper shelf biota has an ever increasing component of Erythraean aliens (Galil 2012). The number of lessepsian species has increased especially during the last decade in Turkish marine waters (Özcan et al. 2010; Turan and Yaglioglu 2011; Yaglioglu et al. 2014). Decapod crustaceans are well represented (Galil 2011): some penaeid and portunid species have established flourishing populations, highly prized and considered a boon to the Levantine fisheries (Galil 2007), while a few species are only known from a single record. The crab family Matutidae contains a distinctive group of predatory crabs with adaptions for swimming or digging. Often referred to as moon crabs, some 15 species placed in four genera are recognized from the family (Ng et al. 2008; De Grave et al.

The greatest proportion was collected on the seventh cruise of the R/V Anton Bruun, in 1964, as part of the International Indian Ocean Expedition. The station numbers of the Anton Bruun are designated by the letters BRU, while catalogue numbers of the Zoology Department, University of Cape Town, are designated either as NAD (off the Natal coast) PED (offMoc:;ambique coast), MDD (off the south-western coast of Malagasy Republic), or WBS (Walter's Shoal).

PCorresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] The identi¢cation keys of the zoeal stages of Pleocyemata decapod larvae from the coastal region of south-western Europe, based on both new and previously published descriptions and illustrations, are provided. The keys cover 127 taxa, most of them identi¢ed to genus and species level. These keys were mainly constructed upon external morphological characters, which are easy to observe under a stereo- microscope. Moreover, the presentation of detailed ¢gures allows a non-specialist to make identi¢cations more easily. INTRODUCTION nearby areas as a complement document when identifying larval stages.
