Decapod Crustacean Assemblages Off the West Coast of Central Italy (Western Mediterranean)
SCIENTIA MARINA 71(1) March 2007, 19-28, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 Decapod crustacean assemblages off the West coast of central Italy (western Mediterranean) EMANUELA FANELLI 1, FRANCESCO COLLOCA 2 and GIANDOMENICO ARDIZZONE 2 1 IAMC-CNR Marine Ecology Laboratory, Via G. da Verrazzano 17, 91014 Castellammare del Golfo (Trapani) Italy. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Department of Animal and Human Biology, University of Rome “la Sapienza”, V.le dell’Università 32, 00185 Rome, Italy. SUMMARY: Community structure and faunal composition of decapod crustaceans off the west coast of central Italy (west- ern Mediterranean) were investigated. Samples were collected during five trawl surveys carried out from June 1996 to June 2000 from 16 to 750 m depth. Multivariate analysis revealed the occurrence of five faunistic assemblages: 1) a strictly coastal community over sandy bottoms at depths <35 m; 2) a middle shelf community over sandy-muddy bottoms at depths between 50 and 100 m; 3) a slope edge community up to 200 m depth as a transition assemblage; 4) an upper slope community at depths between 200 and 450 m, and 5) a middle slope community at depths greater than 450 m. The existence of a shelf- slope edge transition is a characteristic of the western and central Mediterranean where a Leptometra phalangium facies is found in many areas at depths between 120 and 180 m. The brachyuran crab Liocarcinus depurator dominates the shallow muddy-sandy bottoms of the shelf, while Parapenaeus longirostris is the most abundant species from the shelf to the upper slope assemblage. -
Seasonality of Planktonic Crustacean Decapod Larvae in the Subtropical Waters of Gran Canaria Island, NE Atlantic

ORCID ID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1028-4356 Summary: A monitoring programme was established to collect plankton samples and information of environmental vari- ables over the shelf off the island of Gran Canaria during 2005 and 2006. It produced a detailed snapshot of the composi- tion and seasonal assemblages of the decapod larvae community in this locality, in the subtropical waters of the Canary Islands (NE Atlantic), where information about crustacean phenology has been poorly studied. The larval community was mainly composed of benthic taxa, but the contribution of pelagic taxa was also significant. Infraorders Anomura (33.4%) and Caridea (32.8%) accounted for more than half the total collected larvae. High diversity, relatively low larval abundance throughout the year and weak seasonality characterized the annual cycle. However, in relation to the temporal dynamics of temperature, two distinct larval assemblages (cold and warm) were identified that correspond to periods of mixing and strati- fication of the water column. -

Feeding habits of the prawns Processa edulis and Palaemon adspersus (Crustacea, Decapoda, Caridea) in the Alfacs Bay, Ebro Delta (NW Mediterranean).- The stomach contents of 147 Palaemon adspersus Rathke, and 102 Processa edulis (Risso) were analyzed. The frequency of occurrence method and the points method were used. The role of these species in the food web of Cymodocea nodosa meadows is defined. Results indicate that both species are predators of benthic invertebrates rather than scavengers or detritus feeders. The main food items varied according to species. The diet of Palaemon adspersus consisted almost entirely of crustaceans, molluscs, and plant material, with amphipods playing a major role. Processa edulis ate an almost equal amount of crustaceans and polychaetes. In P. adspersus, most dietary items differed according to size classes of prawn. Key words: Feeding, Prawns, Palaemon, Processa, Ebro Delta. (Rebut: 18 V 94; Acceptació condicional: 13 IX 94; Acc. definitiva: 18 X 94) G.

I WILLIAMSON University of Liverpool Department of Marine Biology, Port Erin, Isle of Man library D1VlSlon of T , , Crustww Introduction The European Processidae all belong to the genus Processa Leach, 1815 (= Nika Risso, 1816). Prior to 1936, only one species was generally recognized in this region, although some authors, notably Kemp (1910), had commented on the great differences between forms which they regarded as representing the extremes of specific variation. The first clear demonstration that more than one species was involved was provided by Lebour (1936) who showed that two species were present near Plymouth; she described these under the names P. canaliculata Leach and P. edulis (Risso). Later, after a thorough study of specimens from many localities, Nouvel & Holthuis (1957) recognized eight European species, one of these being further divisible into three subspecies. These authors considered that Lebour had misapplied the name P. canaliculata, and they attached it to a species which they regarded as being in better agree- ment with the illustration by Leach (1815). They redescribed the species which Lebour had called P. canaliculata under the name P. mediterranea (Parisi). Allen (1961) questioned the status of the nominal species which Nouvel & Holthuis (1957) had called P. canaliculata and P. mediterranea, claiming that specimens captured off north-east England could not be satisfactorily identified using the key given by these authors. He regarded most of the points of distinction between the two forms as representing " extremes of a variation that is related to the growth of the shrimp '' and came to the conclusion that P. -

It is compiled from the specimens available to us and those which are in the literature. An introduction to the class Malacostraca and key to the identification of subclasses, superorders and orders is given. All the key characters are illustrated.

INTRODUCTION The origin of this work can be traced back to the prepartition era and the early efforts of carcinologists who reported on the marine Crustacea of the northern Arabi an Sea and adjacent oceanic zones. We owe indebtedness to many previous workers like Alcock (1896-1901) and Henderson (1893) who had also contributed to the list of species which the fauna now embodies. With the creation of Pakistan carcinological studies were 'undertaken specially by the students and scientists working at the Zoolo gy Department, University of Karachi. -
The Marine Crustacea Decapoda of Sicily (Central Mediterranean Sea

Zool., 70. 69-78 (2003) The marine Crustacea Decapoda of Sicily INTRODUCTION (central Mediterranean Sea): a checklist The location of Sicily in the middle of the Mediter with remarks on their distribution ranean Sea, between the western and eastern basins, gives the island utmost importance for faunistic studies. Furthermore, the diversity of geomorphologic aspects, substratum types and hydrological features along its CARLO PIPITONE shores account for many different habitats in the coastal CNR-IRMA, Laboratorio di Biologia Marina, waters, and more generally on the continental shelf. Via Giovanni da Verrazzano 17, 1-91014 Castellammare del Golfo (TP) (Italy) E-mail: [email protected] Such diversity of habitats has already been pointed out by Arculeo et al. (1991) for the Sicilian fish fauna. MARCO ARCULEO Crustacea Decapoda include benthic, nektobenthic Dipartimento di Biologia Animate, Universita degli Studi di Palermo, and pelagic species (some of which targeted by artisan Via Archirafi 18, 1-90123 Palermo (Italy) and industrial fisheries) living over an area from the in- tertidal rocks and sands to the abyssal mud flats (Brusca & Brusca, 1996).

Rasch and Raymond T. Bauer Department of Biology, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, 70504, USA. E-mail: jennrasch@ gmail.com ABSTRACT - Caridean shrimps are often infested by ectoparasites from the isopod family Bopyridae. Urobopyrus processae is a widespread species of bopyrid parasitizing the branchial (gill) chambers of members of the caridean family Processidae, including Ambidexter symmetricus. We examined hypotheses on differential infestation based on gender, castration of the host by the parasite, correlation between host and parasite size, and the fecundity of female parasites. Infestation rates varied from 1.3 to 32.1% between 2010 and 2011. Infested shrimps ranged from 1.26 mm to 6.24 mm carapace length (CL) between 2010 and 2011. Female shrimps were infested at a higher rate than males (2010 P = 0.0376; 2011 P = 0.0023). We report for the first time the differential selection between left and right branchial chambers in a caridean shrimp by a bopyrid parasite (P = 0.0209). Female parasite total length (TL) increased with host size (CL) in both years of sampling 2 2 (2010 R adj = 0.6863; 2011 R adj = 0.8206). The size of male parasite TL was explained by 2 2 2 both host CL (2010 R adj = 0.4591; 2011 R adj = 0.5490) and parasite female TL (2010 R adj 2 = 0.5606; 2011 R adj = 0.6195). -
