BIOLOGICAL RESULTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI DEEP-SEA EXPEDITIONS. 102 ON A SMALL COLLECTION OF PORCELLANID CRABS FROM THE CARIBBEAN SEA (CRUSTACEA, DECAPODA, ANOMURA)l ROBERT H. GORE Smithsonian Institution, Ft. Pierce, Florida 33450 ABSTRACT The Research Vessel John Elliot Pillsbury of the University of Miami obtained a small collection of porcellanid crabs during five cruises over a 3-year period from ]968 to 1971 throughout the Caribbean Sea below 200N latitude. The material consisted of 195 specimens divided into 7 genera and 13 species, all of well known littoral or sublittoral forms. While no new species were recorded, several gaps in distributional and ecological knowledge were filled, and a range extension is reported for Petrolisthes cessacii (A. Milne Edwards, 1878) previously known only from a small area on the western coast of Africa, and a single published record from Brazil. INTRODUCTION During a 3-year period from March, 1968 through February, 1971, the University of Miami's Research Vessel John Elliot Pillsbury sampled se- lected areas throughout the Caribbean Sea south of 200N latitude (Fig. 1 and Table 1). Collections were made in an area delineated approximately by the island of Hispaniola to the north, from the Lesser Antilles on the east southward to the vicinity of Surinam and French Guiana in South America, and thence westward along the northern coast of that continent to the Central American land mass and north to British Honduras. The small collection of porcellanid crabs which form the subject of this report was taken at 51 of the stations occupied by the RjV Pillsbury in this area, and consisted of 195 specimens divided among 7 genera and ] 3 species. Of these, Porcellana sayana (Leach, 1820) was the most abundant, with 67 specimens examined; Pachycheles ackleianus A. Milne Edwards, 1880 was next, with 42 specimens. The remainder of the material was made up of well known species which, with one exception noted below, were all pre- viously known from the general area sampled by the RjV Pillsbury. The exception was Petro/isthes cessacii (A. Milne Edwards, 1878) previously known from the Cape Verde Islands, a small area in western Africa, and a 1This paper is one of a series resulting from the National Geographic Society-University of Miami Deep-Sea Biology Program; and Scientific Contribution No. 26, Smithsonian Institution/Harbor Branch Foundation Science Laboratory.

  • New Records of Epibionts from Loggerhead Sea Turtles Caretta Caretla (L.)
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 70(31: 953-956.2002 NEW RECORDS OF EPIBIONTS FROM LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES CARETTA CARETLA (L.) Michael G. Frick, Kristina L. Williams and David C. Veljacic Epibiosis is a highly valuable strategy for the survival of small, sedentary and sessile organisms living in the estuarine environment, where sandy and muddy bottom habitats are common and hard substrata are generally scarce (Olabama, 2000). Since loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta (L.), frequently occupy estuarine habitats adjacent to rookery beaches in between nesting events, a variety of non-obligate estuarine forms occur as epibionts on nesting turtles (Frazier et al., 1985; Dodd, 1988; Frazier et al., 1991, 1992; Frick et al., 1998, 2000a,b). We sampled a total of 99 loggerheads nesting on Wassaw Island (3 1'53 'N, 80'50 W) and Jekyll Island (3 1 O4N, 8 1'25 'W), Georgia for epibionts during the 1998 and 2000 nesting seasons from May-August using protocols outlined in Frick et al, (1998). Here, we document the occurrence of five previously unreported epibiont species from C. caretta (Table 1). The newly documented epibiont species reported in this study are also commonly ob- served within the coastal region of Georgia as free-living forms or as commensals of other estuarine residents. Thus, the associations presented herein do not appear to be obligate. However, since little is known of the life history of these epibiotic species when occumng in Georgia and nothing is known of their life history as epibionts of C. caretta, several characteristics of the newly reported epibiota are worthy of discussion.

ABSTRACT: The key deals with the Decapoda, Anomura of the northern Arabian Sea, belonging to 3 superfamilies, 10 families, 32 genera and 104 species. With few exceptions, each species is accompanied by illustrations of taxonomic importance; its first reporter is referenced, supplemented by a subsequent record from the area. Necessary schematic diagrams explaining terminologies are also included. KEY WORDS: Malacostraca, Decapoda, Anomura, Arabian Sea - key. INTRODUCTION The Infraorder Anomura is well represented in Northern Arabian Sea (Paldstan) (see Tirmizi and Kazmi, 1993). Some important investigations and documentations on the diversity of anomurans belonging to families Hippidae, Albuneidae, Lithodidae, Coenobitidae, Paguridae, Parapaguridae, Diogenidae, Porcellanidae, Chirostylidae and Galatheidae are as follows: Alcock, 1905; Henderson, 1893; Miyake, 1953, 1978; Tirmizi, 1964, 1966; Lewinsohn, 1969; Mustaquim, 1972; Haig, 1966, 1974; Tirmizi and Siddiqui, 1981, 1982; Tirmizi, et al., 1982, 1989; Hogarth, 1988; Tirmizi and Javed, 1993; and Siddiqui and Kazmi, 2003, however these informations are scattered and fragmentary. In 1983 McLaughlin suppressed the old superfamily Coenobitoidea and combined it with the superfamily Paguroidea and placed all hermit crab families under the superfamily Paguroidea.

The prevalence of the parasite Aporobopyrus curtatus in Petrolisthes armatus from southern Brazil was determined, and the effect the parasite had on host reproduction was evaluated. Of all 775 crabs sampled in Araçá region from March 2005 to July 2006, 3.2% presented bopyrid parasites.

The taxonomic history of P. africana is summarized, and the taxonomic implications of the DNA analysis are discussed. The observations that the South African population appeared suddenly and that it is located in and around a major international harbour, strongly suggest that it represents a recent shipping introduction. Porcellana africana was first detected at a single site within Saldanha Bay in 2012, but by 2016 was abundant under intertidal boulders and within beds of the invasive mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis across most of the Bay.
