A New Record of a Stomatopod Crustacean from the Mediterranean Coast of Israel BELLA S ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, Vol. 50, 2004, pp. 419–422 NEW RECORDS A new record of a stomatopod crustacean from the Mediterranean coast of Israel BELLA S. GALIL. National Institute of Oceanography, Israel Oceanographic & Limnological Research, P.O.B. 8030, Haifa 31080, Israel The stomatopods, or mantis shrimps, off the Mediterranean coast of Israel were studied by Lewinsohn and Manning (1980), who summarized what was then known about the Eastern Mediterranean stomatopod fauna: five species were reported, three of which were based on (then) new records for the Israeli coast. A single specimen of Platysquilla eusebia (Risso, 1816) was collected by trawl net off Palmahim (31°57.94N, 34°42.15E) on 28 May 2004, in a Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Ascherson meadow at a depth of 8 m, in a sample dominated by Philocheras monacanthus (Holthuis, 1961). The specimen, an adult male, with length (measured from the tip of the apical spine of the rostral plate to the median posterior projection of the telson) of 32.5 mm, is deposited in the National Collections, Tel Aviv University (TAU AR27800). Platysquilla eusebia is distributed in the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent North Atlantic, off Portugal, France, and the west coast of Ireland (Manning, 1977). It was long considered “...absent from the Eastern Mediterranean basin, from where another nannosquilloid Nannosquiloides occultus (Giesbrecht) has been reported” (Froglia, 1992). However, it had been described later from the northern Adriatic Sea (Abed-Navandi and Dworschak, 1997) and from Lesbos Is., Greece (d’Udekem d’Acoz, 1995), though it had not been recorded previously from the Levantine basin. Its having been reported only now from Israel may be ascribed to its occurrence in a rarely examined habitat off our coast, and to its burrowing habits. Our specimen agrees well with the detailed description of the species (Risso, 1827; Manning and Camp, 1981). However, collecting a live specimen affords us the opportunity to note its color. Carapace and abdominal somites, marbled dull reddish-brown; thoracopods and pleopods, pale yellowish; lateral margins and apical spine of rostral plate dark brown, telson with dark stains submedially on posterior margin.

Department of Hydrobiology, Faculty of Fisheries, Ege University, Bornova 35100, Izmir, Turkey On 7 July 2004, two specimens of Sillago sihama, which was previously unknown from this area, with standard lengths (SL) ranging from 148 to 157 mm, were obtained from Palamutbuku (36º40′N, 27º28′E; Datça peninsula, southern Aegean Sea). The specimens were collected by gill nets over a sandy bottom at a depth of 12 m, and deposited in the fish collection of Ege University, Department of Hydrobiology (catalogue no. 104). Diagnostic characters were as follows: first dorsal finrays 11, second dorsal finrays I + 21, anal finrays II + 21, pectoral finrays 16, lateral line scales 67–70. Body elongated, snout and head pointed. Mouth small and terminal, upper jaw slightly longer than lower. Villiform teeth present on jaws and on vomer; upper jaw teeth somewhat more developed than the lower. A flat triangular spine on the operculum at the level of upper point of pectoral fin base. First dorsal fin higher than the second; second dorsal fin and anal fin opposite to each other. Head length (HL) 28.4–30.6%, pre-dorsal length 35.0–35.1%, maxi- mum body depth 17.6–17.8%, all of SL. Eye diameter 22.9–23.8%, interorbital distance 20.8– 21.4%, snout length 37.5–38.1%, all of HL. Body color of the fresh specimens was silvery yellow, becoming paler through the belly. A longitudinal silvery stripe is present on the midlateral line. Both dorsal fins and caudal fin are dusky, other fins pale. All measurements, counts, and color patterns determined are in accordance with descriptions of Ben-Tuvia (1986) and McKay (1992). S. sihama has a widespread distribution throughout the Indo-Pacific, from south African coasts to Japan, the Red Sea, and northern Australia (McKay, 1992). In the Mediterranean Sea, it was first found during 1976 from the Lebanese coasts (Mouneimne, 1977) and in 1977 off the Israeli coasts (Ben-Tuvia, 1978). Successive records were given from the Cilician basin of Turkey and Egyptian coasts (see Golani et al., 2002). S. sihama was collected for the first time from the Aegean Sea. This finding also represents the northwesternmost distribution of the species within its known range in the Mediterranean Sea. The majority of the Lessepsian species have established popula- tions in the eastern Levant basin, but a gradually decreasing dispersal pattern is observed through the western and northwestern margins of the Lessepsian province. Among numerous causes that determine the fate of colonization success, temperature deserves priority since it probably hinders dispersal of immigrant fish to the cold waters of the Aegean Sea. However, southern Aegean Sea coasts are strongly under the influence of the Mediterranean waters, which clearly explains the majority of Lessepsian fish reported from this area but not more northerly (Papaconstantinou, 1987). Occurrence of S. sihama in the Aegean Sea does not clearly indicate an established population, but it may be the sign of a step-by-step process of migration. REFERENCES Ben-Tuvia, A. 1978.

  • World Catalogue and Bibliography of the Recent Stomatopoda
    WORLD CATALOGUE AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE RECENT STOMATOPODA compiled and distributed by Hans-Georg Müller Wissenschaftler Verlag, Laboratory for Tropical Ecosystems Research & Information Service P.O. Box 2268 D-35532 Wetzlar, Germany Stomatopod crustaceans are common members of benthic ecosystems in tropical and subtropical marine and brackish waters throughout the world. Few species are known from temperate seas. In the northern hemisphere some species were reported in Japan as far north as Hokkaido, and in the U.S.A. as far north as Massachusetts. In the eastern Atlantic area the northern limit is the sea around Ireland. The southern limits of their distribution are the south coasts of Australia and South Africa. Larval development occurs in the plankton. Stomatopods are raptorial predators, which construct burrows in level bottoms, or live in crevices and holes of hard substrates. The present compilation gives detailed information to all the 412 species known up to now. The reality: Taxonomy is a confusing subject, especially when somebody is not a taxonomic spezialist for the respective animal group and only attempts to determine species within the scope of a non-taxonomic study. New species and subspecies are described, others are synonymized, or subspecies/varieties are raised to species level. Moreover, as a matter of fact, taxonomists often have different oppinions to assign a species to a certain genus, with the result, that often different names are given for the same species. Descriptions are sometimes to poor to allow a reliable determination. Fortunately, several revisions, reviews and redescriptions are available for the Stomatopoda, though numerous short publications are scattered over many journals.

Adult R. desmaresti are benthic and burrow in the sediment (4). They occupy sub-littoral habitats to a depth of 75-80 m (5) and can reach lengths up to 97 mm (6). Adults are fast and efficient ambush predators that use their two- toothed, raptorial forelimbs (2nd thoracopods) as a spear to capture small fish and shrimps (7). They are preyed upon by demersal fish, such as tope Galeorhinus galeus (LINNAEUS, 1758) and bull-rout Myoxocephalus scorpius (LINNAEUS, 1758) (6, 8).

Parasite identification was undertaken by means of 14 morphological diagnostic characters and molecular markers using the 15 internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. The present work extends the 16 intermediate host range of the A. simplex complex in mesozooplankton 17 populations from temperate waters off the NE Atlantic, filling up the 18 zooplankton gap in its life cycle in the studied area. Moreover, the present 19 record enlarges the ramifications for the transmission of anisakids 20 interconnecting benthic and pelagic realms. The results also suggest that the 21 recruitment of Anisakis simplex complex may be affected by the 22 oceanography, being different under upwelled or downwelled conditions. 23 The infected mysids and salpids suggested that Anisakis simplex complex 1 24 are not specific at mesozooplankton level, using different hosts to cross 25 habitats and enlarge the pathways in order to find their definitive mammal 26 hosts.
