    click for previous page 952 Shrimps and Prawns Sicyoniidae SICYONIIDAE Rock shrimps iagnostic characters: Body generally Drobust, with shell very hard, of “stony” grooves appearance; abdomen often with deep grooves and numerous tubercles. Rostrum well developed and extending beyond eyes, always bearing more than 3 upper teeth (in- cluding those on carapace); base of eyestalk with styliform projection on inner surface, but without tubercle on inner border. Both upper and lower antennular flagella of similar length, attached to tip of antennular peduncle. 1 Carapace lacks both postorbital and postantennal spines, cervical groove in- distinct or absent. Exopod present only on first maxilliped. All 5 pairs of legs well devel- 2 oped, fourth leg bearing a single well-devel- 3rd and 4th pleopods 4 single-branched oped arthrobranch (hidden beneath 3 carapace). In males, endopod of second pair 5 of pleopods (abdominal appendages) with appendix masculina only. Third and fourth pleopods single-branched. Telson generally armed with a pair of fixed lateral spines. Colour: body colour varies from dark brown to reddish; often with distinct spots or colour markings on carapace and/or abdomen - such colour markings are specific and very useful in distinguishing the species. Habitat, biology, and fisheries: All members of this family are marine and can be found from shallow to deep waters (to depths of more than 400 m). They are all benthic and occur on both soft and hard bottoms. Their sizes are generally small, about 2 to 8 cm, but some species can reach a body length over 15 cm. The sexes are easily distinguished by the presence of a large copulatory organ (petasma) on the first pair of pleopods of males, while the females have the posterior thoracic sternites modified into a large sperm receptacle process (thelycum) which holds the spermatophores or sperm sacs (usually whitish or yellowish in colour) after mating.

The COTS Outbreak Response Plan exists to maximize effectiveness of activities conDucted by the Guam Coral Reef Response Team anD ensure efficient use of resources anD human capital by proviDing a stanDarDizeD framework for responDing to COTS outbreaks. This Document, designed as a working draft that will be continuously updated, includes an in-depth description of Guam’s early warning system for COTS outbreaks, stanDarD operating procedures for response implementation incluDing Detailed assessment anD mitigation protocols, anD recommenDations for post-outbreak management, reef recovery, and restoration approaches. This Document is intenDed for use by coral reef managers anD scientists on Guam, but may also be useful to inDividuals anD groups in other locations impacteD by COTS outbreaks, especially those who are interesteD in Developing COTS outbreak response plans. Objectives of the Guam COTS Response Plan: 1. Summarize impacts of past COTS outbreaks on Guam. 2. ProviDe up-to-date standard operating procedures to be followed before, during, and after COTS outbreaks, including lists of agency assets anD necessary supplies anD Delineation of agency roles.

  • Research Article Influence of the Blue Coral Heliopora Coerulea on Scleractinian Coral Larval Recruitment

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The octocoral Heliopora coerulea has emerged as one of the most dominant reef-building corals in the Bolinao Reef Complex, northern Philippines. One of the possible mechanisms that may contribute to the success of H. coerulea over scleractinian corals is its ability to compete effectively for space on the reef by inhibiting the settlement of coral larvae in its immediate vicinity.To determine whether H. coerulea can indeed inhibit larval recruitment, settlement tiles were deployed inside H. coerulea aggregations or on hard substrate at a distance of about 2 to 3 meters away. After three months of deployment, only a single H. coerulea recruit was observed on tiles placed within aggregations whereas many different coral recruits were observed on tiles placed on substrate away from the blue coral.

    Zootaxa 2541: 50–68 (2010) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2010 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) Pontoniine Shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Palaemonidae) from the CReefs 2009 Heron Island Expedition, with a review of the Heron Island pontoniine fauna A. J. BRUCE Crustacea Section, Queensland Museum, P. O. Box 3300, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 4101. E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Recent collections of pontoniine shrimps from Heron Island, southern Great Barrier Reef, have provided further additions to the Australian marine fauna. A new species, Periclimenes poriphilus sp. nov., is described and illustrated. It is the first species of its genus to be found actually in a sponge host. Several other Periclimenes species have been reported as associates of sponges. Periclimenaeus arthrodactylus Holthuis, 1952, is reported for the second time only, previously known only from a single specimen collected in the Pulau Sailus Ketjil, Java Sea, Indonesia, in 1899, and new to the Australian fauna. Further specimens of Typton wasini Bruce, 1977 are recorded and Typton nanus Bruce, 1987 is re-assessed as a junior synonym of T. wasini, having been based on a juvenile specimen. An up-dated checklist of the Heron Island pontoniine fauna is also provided. Key words: Crustacea, Decapoda, Pontoniinae, Periclimenes poriphilus sp. nov., Periclimenaeus arthrodactylus Holthuis, 1952, first Australian record, Typton nanus Bruce, 1987, synonymized with T. wasini Bruce 1977, revised checklist of Heron Island pontoniine shrimps, Great Barrier Reef Introduction During the years 1975–1980 an intensive study of the pontoniine shrimp fauna of Heron Island and the adjacent Wistari Reef was carried out and the results summarised in a report by Bruce (1981a).
