Biodiversitas 21: 1215-1226. Research on crustacean fauna has been carried out in Natuna waters. Natuna is the outer islands of Indonesia which is still very abundant in fisheries resources including crustaceans. Unfortunately, research on crustaceans is rarely carried out there, especially on the islands around Natuna. Therefore research and information about fisheries, especially crustaceans are needed. The study was conducted on 12-29 April 2011 and sampling locations around the Bunguran Islands, Sedanu, Kognang, Batang, and Sebangmawang. The sampling collection was focused on three different sampling methods, namely: bottom trawling, transects, and free collection. The purpose of this study is to find out which method is best used in crustacean fauna research and it is expected that the crustacean data obtained can add information about crustacean fauna found in the Natuna Islands. Crustacean fauna, which were collected, showed that species from basic trawlers numbered 66 species, 41 species were from transects and 101 species was from free collections. The total number of individuals from the bottom trawl were 746, from the transect were 65 and from the free collection were 704. From the results of the study using three different methods have advantages and disadvantages of each method. The best method used is the free collection method and bottom trawling, because it can collect many crustacean species. Keywords: Batang Island, bottom trawl, Bunguran Islands, free collection, Kognang Island, Sedanu Island, Sebangmawang Island, transect INTRODUCTION Natuna Regency is an archipelago consisting of 272 islands and is located in the southern part of Natuna Island, South China. Administratively, this island is included in the Riau Islands Province. Natuna is the northernmost island in the Karimata strait and stretches at 4o0'0 "LU and 108o15'0" East, about 1,140 km north of Jakarta. The islands are bordered by Vietnam and Cambodia (North), South Sumatra and Jambi (South), Singapore, Malaysia, Riau (West) and East Malaysia and West Kalimantan (East). The largest island in the Natuna archipelago is Bunguran Island

Progress in our understanding of phylogenetic relationships within the Crustacea is linked to continuing discoveries of new taxa, to advances in theory and to improvements in methodology. Six themes are discussed that serve to illustrate some of the major on-going controversies and unresolved problems in the field as well as to illustrate changes that have taken place since the time of Linnaeus. These themes are: 1. the treatment of parasitic Crustacea, 2. the affinities of the Remipedia, 3. the validity of the Entomostraca, 4. exopodites and epipodites, 5. using larval characters in estimating phylogenetic rela- tionships, and 6. fossils and the crustacean stem-lineage. It is concluded that the development of the stem lineage concept for the Crustacea has been dominated by consideration of taxa known only from larval or immature stages.

  • The Crustacea Decapoda (Brachyura and Anomura) of Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands, with Special Reference to the Obligate Commensals of Branching Corals 1
    The Crustacea Decapoda (Brachyura and Anomura) of Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands, with special reference to the obligate commensals of branching corals 1 John S. GARTH Allan Hancock Foundation Univer5ity of Southern California 2 and Eniwetok Ma rine Biological Laboratory Introduction The brachyuran decapod crustaceans of the Marsh all Islands have been reviewed by Balss (1938) and by Miyake (1938, 1939). These reports stem from the German and Jap anese occupations, respect ively, the former being the result of the Pacific Exp edition of Dr. Sixten Bock, 1917-1918, the latter th e result of the Micronesia Expedition of Prof. Te iso Esaki, 1937-1938. According to Fosberg (1956, p. 1), J aluit Atoll was the headquarters of both the German and the Japan ese administrations, a fact that accounts for the preponderanc e of record s from the southern Marshall Isl ands. Additional coverage of the southern Marsh alls was provided by the 1950 Arno Atoll Expedition of the Coral Atoll Program of the Pa cific Science Board, the decapod crustaceans collected by Dr. R. W. Hiatt having been reported by Holthuis (1953). Carcinologically speak­ ing, the northern Marshalls ar e less well known, collections having been made only at Likieb Atoll by both Dr. Bock and Prof. Esaki and at Kwajalein Atoll by Prof . Esaki alone. Except for the shrimps, reported by Chace (1955), the extensive collections made in connection with Operation Crossroads in 1946- 1947, which includ ed Bikini, Rongelap, Rongerik, and Eniwetok atolls (Fosberg, 1956, p. 4), are at the U.S. Nationa l Museum awaiting stud y.

  • 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.

  • Reduced Mobility Is Associated with Compensatory Feeding and Increased Diet Breadth of Marine Crabs
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published November 3 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Reduced mobility is associated with compensatory feeding and increased diet breadth of marine crabs John J. Stachowicz*,Mark Hay8* University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Institute of Marine Sciences. Morehead City, North Carolina 28557. USA ABSTRACT: Direct effects of predation have been widely recognized as important in affecting prey population dynamics and evolution. However, less attention has been devoted to the consequences of indirect effects of predators on prey behavior. For example, to avoid predation many animals restrict their activities to physical refugia and adopt low-mobility Mestyles, yet the consequences of these anti- predator behaviors for foraging and diet selection are relatively unknown. In this study we examine the relationships between mobility, feeding preferences, and compensatory feeding for 3 species of marine decapod crabs feeding on seaweeds in North Carolina, USA. Low mobility and high site fidellty of crabs were associated with a broad, non-selective diet and compensatory feeding. The majid Mithrax forceps exhibited the lowest mobility, highest site fidelity, and least selective diet of the 3 species, whereas another majid Libinia dubia was intermehate in both rnobllity and selectivity, and the xanthid Panopeus herbstii had the greatest mobility and narrowest diet. Of these 3 crabs, only M. forceps com- pensated for low food quality by increasing consumption rates in single food-species feeding assays. This may be because M. forceps is resistant to (or tolerant of) seaweed chemical defenses, while other crab species are not. The ability to consume, and presumably subsist on, a wide variety of potential foods including those defended from more mobile consumers may facilitate a low-mobllity lifestyle, allowing the crab to minimize movement and reduce exposure to predators.
