La crevette à capuchon Athanas nitescens (Leach, 1813). in Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle [Ed.], 8 mai 2016.

La crevette à capuchon ressemble à un minuscule homard. Les femelles atteignent 20 mm, les mâles 26 mm. La couleur est brunâtre, rougeâtre (surtout les femelles) ou bleu-verdâtre (plutôt les mâles) avec une ligne blanche médiodorsale très fréquente. Toutefois, l’espèce présente des changements de coloration en fonction de la couleur du substrat, de l’éclairement et d'un rythme jour/nuit. Le rostre est droit, aigu, et sans dents. Les dents frontales (extra-orbitaires) de la carapace sont bien marquées et aiguës. Les yeux sont en partie recouverts par le bord antérieur de la carapace. Les pinces sont très fortes et légèrement inégales. Les pattes de la seconde paire possèdent 5 articles au carpe et sont terminées par une pince minuscule. La crevette à capuchon est sédentaire ; elle se nourrit de petits organismes benthiques (vers, larves, algues, foraminifères etc.). L’accouplement se fait en position « en croix ». Les femelles sont ovigères d'avril à septembre sur les côtes françaises et les larves sont dans le plancton de mai à décembre. L’espèce se trouve principalement à très faible profondeur (zone des balancements des marées) et exceptionellement jusqu’à -65 m maximum, sous les blocs reposant sur du gravier ou du sable grossier, dans le maerl, les herbiers marins, le coralligène et parfois dans les grottes sous-marines. Les jeunes peuvent se rencontrer un peu dans tous les milieux, y compris dans les oscules d'éponges. C’est une espèce sciaphile indicatrice de microcavités. Athanas nitescens est présente de la Norvège au Congo (et peut-être l'Afrique du Sud), ainsi que dans toute la Mer Méditerranée et la Mer Noire. Cette espèce est parfois parasitée par une microsporidie du genre Thelohania, par la grégarine Cephaloidophora duboscqi, ou par l'isopode bopyridé Anisarthrus pelseneeri. Figure 1.

(*) (*) Statut taxonomique incertain selon Anker & Jeng 2007. Description. La crevette à capuchon est de petite taille et ressemble à un minuscule homard avec ses grosses pinces ; il y a une légère hétérochélie, principalement chez les mâles (Coutière 1899 ; Turquier 1962). Le rostre est aigu, sans dents et droit (forme nitescens typique) ou légèrement relevé (forme laevirhincus). Il peut présenter des anomalies (Ashelby & Lavesque 2011). Les dents frontales (extra-orbitaires) de la carapace sont bien marquées et aiguës. Les yeux sont en partie exposés en vue dorsale et latérale. Le pédoncule antennulaire est robuste et son article médian (le 2e) est aussi long ou plus court que le 3e (forme nitescens typique) ou nettement plus long que le 3e (forme laevirhincus). La portion indivise du flagelle supérieur de l'antennule comprend 5 à 7 articles (chez la forme nitescens typique) ou est supérieur à 9 articles (forme laevirhincus). Le bord externe du scaphocérite est droit. La longueur de l'avant-dernier article du 3e maxillipède égale la moitié de celle du dernier. Les pinces (= premiers péréiopodes) sont très fortes et légèrement inégales. Leur carpe chez les femelles ovigères est environ 2 fois plus long que large (forme nitescens typique) ou jusqu'à 4 fois plus long que large (forme laevirhincus). Les pattes de la deuxième paire possèdent 5 articles au carpe et sont terminées par une pince minuscule (Lagardère 1971 ; Hubert & Mourlan 1993). La formule branchiale est la suivante (Turquier 1962) : Pmx1 : un épipodite simple. Pmx2 : 1 épipodite bilobé. Pmx3 : 1 épipodite (mastigobranchie) ; pas d'arthrobranchie. P1 à P3 : 1 épipodite (mastigo + sétobranchie) + 1 pleurobranchie à chaque segment. P4 : 1 épipodite (sétobranchie) + 1 pleurobranchie. P5 : 1 pleurobranchie. La taille habituelle des adultes est de 15 à 20 mm (Lagardère 1971) ; les femelles atteignent au plus 20 mm de longueur totale et sont en moyenne un peu plus petites que les mâles, ces derniers atteignant 26 mm (Hubert & Mourlan 1993 ; Tourenne & al. 2011). Le fait d'avoir des mâles plus grands que les femelles est plutôt rare chez les crevettes (Turquier 1962). La "variété" ou la "forme" laevirhincus est un peu plus petite et dépasse rarement 15 mm (Lagardère 1971). Les femelles peuvent être ovigères à 12 - 14 mm (Holthuis 1949). La couleur est bleutée, brunâtre, rougeâtre (typiquement les femelles) ou bleu-verdâtre (plutôt les mâles) avec ligne blanche médiodorsale très fréquente. Cette couleur est liée à un grand nombre de petits chromatophores rouges épidermiques (Turquier 1962 ; Chassard-Bouchaud 1965 ; Lagardère 1971 ; Hubert & Mourlan 1993 ; Tourenne & al. 2011). Risques de confusion, espèces voisines, variations infra-spécifiques. Au sein de la famille des Alpheidae, le genre Athanas est relativement “basal” (Coutière 1899 ; Turquier 1962 ; Anker & al. 2006). Dans ce genre il existe une quarantaine d'espèces au niveau mondial (De Grave & Fransen 2011 ; GBIF 2016 ; WoRMS 2016), dont trois espèces en Europe : Athanas nitescens, Athanas grimaldii Coutière, 1911 et Athanas amazone Holthuis, 1951 (d'Udekem d'Acoz 1999). La présence d'une dent accessoire sur le bord ventral des dactyles des pattes ambulatoires (P3 à P5) est un caractère qui paraît être assez variable (Coutière 1911 ; Lenz & Strunk 1914 ; Barnard 1950 p. 729 ; Holthuis 1951 ; Zariquiey Álvarez 1968 fig. 60e) et donc difficilement utilisable dans la distinction des espèces (Lagardère 1971 fig. 129-130). Chez A. nitescens, il pourrait y avoir des hybridations entre la forme nitescens typique et la forme laevirhincus (Lagardère 1971). Sur les côtes de France, les deux autres espèces du genre Athanas sont rares. Athanas grimaldii est plus petite que A. nitescens et vit parfois dans les coquilles vides portées par un bernard-l’ermite ou associées à des bivalves (Pinna). L'espèce est réputée être tropicale (Sénégal, Sierra Léone) (GBIF 2016), toutefois avec un signalement au large de Belle-île (Crosnier & Forest 1966). Athanas amazone est de couleur rougeâtre orangée et possède des pinces beaucoup plus allongées et capable d’être pliées ; elle se rencontre dans les eaux relativement profondes de la Mer Méditerranée et l’Afrique de l’Ouest, parfois dans les terriers des mantes de mer (Squilla mantis). Biologie. Les observations récurrentes d'individus groupés (Nouvel & Nouvel 1935 ; Bourdon 1965 ; Lagardère 1971 ; Rémy 2010) semblent indiquer que A. nitescens est grégaire dans une certaine mesure. On la trouve souvent aux mêmes endroits, été comme hiver ; l'espèce est donc sédentaire (Turquier 1962). La fréquence des mues varie en fonction de la taille des individus et de la température. En été, l'intervalle entre 2 mues est de l'ordre de 8 jours chez des mâles de 10 à 14 mm et de 11 à 15 jours pour des mâles de taille supérieure à 18 mm. En hiver, lorsque la température est de l'ordre de 4°C à 6°C, l'intermue est de 2 mois environ. Les mâles mangent presque toujours leur exuvie après la mue (Nouvel & Nouvel 1935 ; Turquier 1962 ; Lagardère 1971). L'accouplement se fait dans une position "en croix" : le mâle s'approche de la femelle par derrière ou par le côté

Based on literature records and original samples, we review here the knowledge of the Lebanese marine bivalve biota, tracing its changes during the last 170 yr. The updated checklist of bivalves of Lebanon yielded a total of 114 species (96 native and 18 alien taxa), accounting for ca. 26.5% of the known Mediterranean Bivalvia and thus representing a particularly poor fauna. Analysis of the 21 taxa historically described on Lebanese material only yielded 2 available names. Records of 24 species are new for the Lebanese fauna, and Lioberus ligneus is also a new record for the Mediterranean Sea. Comparisons between molluscan records by past (before 1950) and modern (after 1950) authors revealed temporal variations and qualitative modifications of the Lebanese bivalve fauna, mostly affected by the introduction of Erythraean species. The rate of recording of new alien species (evaluated in decades) revealed later first local arrivals (after 1900) than those observed for other eastern Mediterranean shores, while the peak in records in conjunc- tion with our samplings (1991 to 2010) emphasizes the need for increased field work to monitor their arrival and establishment.

In all, 434 specimens of P. anomala were found in the area. The maximum density and biomass values of the species in the area were 2475 ind. m-2 (on Jania rubens) and 7.85 g m-2 (among the bivalve Brachidontes pharaonis), respectively. The relationships among the biometrical measurements of the P. anomala specimens were assessed using regression and correlation analyses. The growth of P. anomala seems to be allometric. Among the specimens examined, only one specimen had immature oocytes. Only plant remnants were found in the digestive tracts of the dissected specimens.

We investigated the influence of B. pharaonis,as a novel prey, on the foraging patterns of the large whelk Stramonita haemastoma in the field, and examined food preferences in the laboratory. S. haemastoma has shifted fromindigenous species to feeding on the novel mussel when abundant. The whelk prefers to prey upon the invasive mussel over all indigenous species offered (e.g. barnacles and mussels), probably due to its larger size. In the midlittoral zone, the foraging activity of S. haemastoma is considerably low even where refuges are readily available (incisioned-rocks) and food density is high (mainly B. pharaonis). Higher proportions of whelks are actively foraging in the infralittoral zone but usually on smaller prey, mostly barnacles. We suggest that this differential foraging activity in the two zones is related to the degree of exposure to wave action. The midlittoral is inherently more exposed to wave action than the infralittoral, where sea conditions are more benign and the whelks may enjoy longer activity periods.

  • Species Report Brachidontes Pharaonis (Rayed Erythrean Mussel)
    Mediterranean invasive species factsheet www.iucn-medmis.org Species report Brachidontes pharaonis (Rayed Erythrean mussel) AFFILIATION MOLLUSCS SCIENTIFIC NAME AND COMMON NAME REPORTS Brachidontes pharaonis 11 Key Identifying Features The shell is formed of two elongated, trapezoidal valves that are equal in shape and size. The shell surface is characterized by distinctly sculpted ribs radiating from the hinge of the two valves towards the shell margin. The ribs are coarser towards the margin. The internal shell margin is serrated. The outside of the shell is dark brown, while the interior is violet. Adult shells can reach up to 4 cm in length. 2013-2021 © IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation. More info: www.iucn-medmis.org Pag. 1/5 Mediterranean invasive species factsheet www.iucn-medmis.org Other species that look similar Identification and Habitat The rayed Erythrean mussel is found in shallow and sheltered marine areas and in hypersaline waters (> 45 PSU). It can live in polluted waters such as those close to municipal waste-water pipes. It can reach very dense populations of up to 11,000 individuals per square metre. It can also tolerate high water temperatures of up to 31 °C. Reproduction It reproduces all year around and has a short development cycle that results in young bivalves in about 10-20 days. Adults live for up to five years. Similar Species Mytilaster minimus, Gregariella petagnae and Mytilaster lineatus. Major differences are that in M. minimus: 1) the shell surface is smooth and only concentric growth lines with no ribs are evident; and 2) the internal shell margin is smooth.
