Milne Edwards, 1853 and E. hepuensis Dai, 1991. The first instance was from a female mitten crab captured from the River Thames estuary, Kent, England, where A. improvisus is common. However, the second record, on a Hepu mitten crab from Iraq is the first record of A. improvisus from the Persian Gulf. Key words: Eriocheir sinensis H.

Here, RNA-seq was used to obtain the transcriptomes of the cement glands where adhesive is generated and the remaining carcasses of Megabalanus volcano cyprids. Comparative transcriptomic analysis identified 9060 differentially expressed genes, with 4383 upregulated in the cement glands. Four cement proteins, named Mvcp113k, Mvcp130k, Mvcp52k and Mvlcp1-122k, were detected in the cement glands. The salivary secretion pathway was significantly enriched in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed genes, implying that the secretion of cyprid adhesive might be analogous to that of saliva. -

The shell is white with vertical purple stripes. Shells can grow up to 30.2 mm in diameter, but diameters of 5.5 to 15 mm are more common. This species is easily transported through fouling of hulls and other marine infrastructure. Its native range is difficult to determine because it is part of a species complex that has been introduced worldwide. Report updated on Friday, December 08, 2017 Page 1 of 14 1.

Species description Species name Amphibalanus improvisus (Darwin, 1854) – Bay barnacle (an acorn barnacle) Synonyms Balanus improvisus Darwin, 1854; B. ovularis Common names Brakvandsrur (DK); Slät havstulpan, Brackvattenlevande havstulpan (SE); Brakkvannsrur (NO); Merirokko (FI); Brakwaterpok (NL); Bay barnacle, acorn barnacle (all sessile species) (UK, USA); Ostsee-Seepocke, Brackwasser-Seepocke (DE); Pškla bałtycka (PL); Tavaline tõruvähk (EE); Jura zile (LV); Juros gile (LT); Morskoj zhelud (RU) Identification Amphibalanus improvisus has 6 smooth shell plates surrounding the body. It reaches a maximum size of 20 mm in diameter, but usually is less than 10 mm. The “mouth plates”, called scutum and tergum, form a diamond-shaped center. The most characteristic feature is the calcareous base with radial pattern. This base remains on the substrate after removal of the animal. There are several other species of barnacles in Nordic waters, but only two have smooth shells, A. improvisus and Balanus crenatus Bruguière, 1789, and the latter does not have the radial pattern on the base plate. In areas with more pronounced tides there are also species of Chthamalus. In Danish waters there is another introduced barnacle, Elminius modestus (see separate fact-sheet), and on the Swedish west coast. -

Intra-Regional Transportation of a Tugboat Fouling Community Between the Ports of Recife and Natal, Northeast Brazil*

Arquitetura, S/N, Cidade Universitária 50670-901, Recife, PE, Brasil) **[email protected] A B S T R A C T This study aimed to identify the incrusting and sedentary animals associated with the hull of a tugboat active in the ports of Pernambuco and later loaned to the port of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Thus, areas with dense biofouling were scraped and the species then classified in terms of their bioinvasive status for the Brazilian coast. Six were native to Brazil, two were cryptogenic and 16 nonindigenous; nine of the latter were classified as established ( Musculus lateralis, Sphenia fragilis , Balanus trigonus , Biflustra savartii , Botrylloides nigrum , Didemnum psammatodes , Herdmania pallida , Microscosmus exasperatus , and Symplegma rubra ) and three as invasive ( Mytilopsis leucophaeta, Amphibalanus reticulatus , and Striatobalanus amaryllis ). The presence of M. leucophaeata, Amphibalanus eburneus and A. reticulatus on the boat's hull propitiated their introduction onto the Natal coast. The occurrence of a great number of tunicate species in Natal reflected the port area's benthic diversity and facilitated the inclusion of two bivalves – Musculus lateralis and Sphenia fragilis – found in their siphons and in the interstices between colonies or individuals, respectively. -

Building, 27 Jawaharlal Nehru Road, Kolkata – 700016, West Bengal, India: [email protected] Abstract The present work forms the preliminary study of ecosystem of Bichitrapur in Balasore district, though it covers a small area. A total 56 species of estuarine animals are found in the locality. They are normally mangrove associate animals, found in and over mangrove plants as borers or non-borers. These animals are either harmful to mangrove plants or opportunists by depending on mangroves for shelter or feeding. The dominating group in this mangrove is found to be the Molluscs, comprising 8 species of borers of mangrove-wood and 19 species as opportunistic epi-fauna. Crustaceans are the second diverse group in this ecosystem, represented by 13 species of crabs, 6 species of boring Isopods and a single species of Amphipod. The other epifaunal components comprise a few species of Cnidaria, Polychaetea, Echinoderm and mangrove plant species. An in-depth study of these faunal components in ecological viewpoints may provide pathway towardssome fishes, conservation which are and found management on 7 species of theof mangrove mangrove plants ecosystems. in this ecosystem.

Abstract: Invasion by nonindigenous species is a major threat to marine ecosystems. In this study, the distribution and occupied area (as a percentage) of four invasive barnacles (Amphibalanus am- phitrite, Amphibalanus eburneus, Amphibalanus improvisus, Perforatus perforatus), and one indigenous (Balanus trigonus) barnacle in 13 ports in three Korean seas (East sea, Korea Strait, and Yellow Sea) were investigated. The average ratio for all five species was 11.17% in summer and 7.59% in winter, indicating a higher occupancy in summer. B. trigonus, which is an indigenous species, was found on all ports, except for one (IC). Of the invasive species, A. amphitrite was found mainly in the Yellow Sea, A. improvisus in the Korea Strait, and A.
