PART I. CALANOIDA M. K. Dev Roy* Social Environmental and Biological Association, Kolkata Email : [email protected] ABSTRACT An inventory of Indian Calanoid copepod has been prepared in the form of a catalogue dealing with 287 species and subspecies belonging to 82 genera and 25 families. Among these, 99 are marine and 55 freshwater forms, remaining 143 species occur in estuarine and diversified water conditions. Maximum species have been recorded in Kerala (114 species) while the minimum are recorded from the states of Delhi, Manipur and Uttarakhand being represented by one species each. The distribution of the calanoid species in India are also incorporated in this catalogue. Key words: Calanoid copepod, Catalogue, Distribution, India INTRODUCTION Calanoids are mostly planktonic, occurring in oceans, seas, estuaries, backwaters, rivers, lakes and ponds. They are among the most successful of all copepods colonizing all parts of the pelagic environment of both marine and freshwater ecosystems.Bulk of the planktonic copepods in the oceans consist of calanoids which may be more than 70% of all net-collected zooplankton. Some species are even found in anchialine caves. As a group, calanoids are extremely important as primary consumers in marine and freshwater food webs. They form a major part of diet of many marine animals and commercial fishes (either in their larval or adult forms). Calanoids are readily distinguished from other copepods by their long antennae which are at least half the length of their body, in the possession of biramous second antennae and presence of a joint between fifth and sixth body segments. The group comprises of 2822 species under 354 genera and 46 families world-wide (updated from Boltovskoy et al., 2005). There is no consolidated account dealing with calanoid copepod fauna of India. The purpose of the present communication is to fill up this gap and make an updated inventory of calanoid copepods from major ecological habitats and their state-wise distribution in India. This is the first catalogue on calanoid copepods of India. It is hoped that this will form a data-base for future workers interested to carry out work in this group. *Former Scientist, Crustacea Division, Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata 1 J. Environ. & Sociobiol. : 15(1) REVIEW OF LITERATURE Taxonomy and distribution of Indian calanoids are known mainly from the works of Sewell (1914, 1919, 1924, 1929, 1932, 1934) where more than 100 species and subspecies have been recorded/described and illustrated.

  • The State of Lake Superior in 2000
    THE STATE OF LAKE SUPERIOR IN 2000 SPECIAL PUBLICATION 07-02 The Great Lakes Fishery Commission was established by the Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries between Canada and the United States, which was ratified on October 11, 1955. It was organized in April 1956 and assumed its duties as set forth in the Convention on July 1, 1956. The Commission has two major responsibilities: first, develop coordinated programs of research in the Great Lakes, and, on the basis of the findings, recommend measures which will permit the maximum sustained productivity of stocks of fish of common concern; second, formulate and implement a program to eradicate or minimize sea lamprey populations in the Great Lakes. The Commission is also required to publish or authorize the publication of scientific or other information obtained in the performance of its duties. In fulfillment of this requirement the Commission publishes the Technical Report Series, intended for peer-reviewed scientific literature; Special Publications, designed primarily for dissemination of reports produced by working committees of the Commission; and other (non-serial) publications. Technical Reports are most suitable for either interdisciplinary review and synthesis papers of general interest to Great Lakes fisheries researchers, managers, and administrators, or more narrowly focused material with special relevance to a single but important aspect of the Commission's program. Special Publications, being working documents, may evolve with the findings of and charges to a particular committee. Both publications follow the style of the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Sponsorship of Technical Reports or Special Publications does not necessarily imply that the findings or conclusions contained therein are endorsed by the Commission.

  • Dependence of Arctodiaptomus Salinus (Calanoida, Copepoda) Halotolerance on Exoosmolytes: New Data and a Hypothesis

Shadrin* and Elena V. Anufriieva Department of Marine Animal Physiology and Biochemistry, Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas, 2 Nakhi- mov ave., 99011, Sevastopol, Ukraine *Corresponding author: [email protected] Key words: Copepoda, Arctodiaptomus salinus, hypersaline lakes, osmolytes, Crimea, metabolism of community. Abstract Arctodiaptomus salinus is a widespread species in different regions including Mediterranean. Long-term study has shown the presence of the species in the Crimean lakes under the salinity from 5 to 210 ‰. The logarithm of the species density in a lake is inversely proportional to salinity. Earlier experimental studies have shown that the upper salinity limit of the species is 70- 100 ‰. Authors explain this discrepancy of field and experimental data that at salinities above 70-100 ‰ copepods consume exoosmolytes, mainly with food. A. salinus is an osmokonformer; to survive under osmotic stress it utilizes mechanisms of the cellular level – accumulates the osmolytes. Every time when we found A. salinus under high salinities, we observed unicellular green algae Dunaliella salina bloom. D. salina intensifies the synthesis of osmolytes under high salinities, which can be up to 80 % of the dry weight of the cells. Probably A. salinus gets enough osmolytes by consuming Dunaliella to live under salinities above 70 ‰. Conclusions: The halotolerance limit of A. salinus is not determined purely by its physiology; the metabolism of community, as a whole, determines the upper limit of halotolerance of animals-conformers.

Based on morphological taxonomic key characters 48 diaptomid species belonging to 13 genera were reported from India. Taxonomic discrimination of many species of these genera is difficult due to their high morphological similarities and minute differences in key characters. In the present study two species of the genus, Neodiaptomus, N. meggiti and N. schmackeri from Andaman Islands were examined based on morphological and molecular characters which showed low variation in morphology and differences in their distributions. The morphological taxonomy of Copepoda with genetic analysis has shown complementing values in understanding the genetic variation and phylogeny of the contemporary populations. In this study, a molecular phylogenetic analysis of N. meggiti and N. schmackeri is performed on the basis of mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene.

    PRIMARY RESEARCH PAPER | Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology New record of Phyllodiaptomus (Ctenodiaptomus) praedictus sulawensis Alekseev & Vaillant, 2013 (Hexanauplia, Copepoda, Calanoida, Diaptomidae) in the Philippines (Luzon Island) Shea Kathleen P. Guinto1, Justine Val Jade B. Lacaba2, John Kenneth V. Cuballes2, Aezrile A. Igancio2, Eric Zeus C. Rizo3, Henri J. Dumont3,4, Bo-Ping Han3 & Rey Donne S. Papa1,2,5* ABSTRACT A study originally intended to update the taxonomy and distribution of calanoid copepods in selected freshwater ecosystems of Central Luzon has led to the discovery of a new record of Phyllodiaptomus Kiefer, 1936 in Candaba Swamp, Pampanga. Since 1979, the only calanoid copepods recorded from this area included Filipinodiaptomus insulanus (Wright S., 1928) and Tropodiaptomus australis Kiefer, 1936. Later studies on calanoid copepods in the region have since been non-existent. Analyses of pertinent key morphological characters revealed that the specimens at hand belonged to Phyllodiaptomus (Ctenodiaptomus) praedictus sulawensis Alekseev & Vaillant, 2013, a freshwater diaptomid calanoid copepod subspecies discovered and known to be endemic only in Indonesia. Provided in this paper are baseline information on the morphological characters of the Philippine members of the subspecies accompanied by line drawings as well as a comparison between the recorded morphological data presented by Alekseev, Haffner, Vaillant & Yusoff (2013) and the current dataset to support the identification of the specimen. The discovery of P. (C.) praedictus sulawensis in the Philippines, which was thought to be endemic in Indonesia, presents a new record of this species in the country and the first such record outside of its country of origin.

    Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans by Robert George Young A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robert George Young, March, 2016 ABSTRACT MOLECULAR SPECIES DELIMITATION AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF CANADIAN MARINE PLANKTONIC CRUSTACEANS Robert George Young Advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Dr. Sarah Adamowicz Dr. Cathryn Abbott Zooplankton are a major component of the marine environment in both diversity and biomass and are a crucial source of nutrients for organisms at higher trophic levels. Unfortunately, marine zooplankton biodiversity is not well known because of difficult morphological identifications and lack of taxonomic experts for many groups. In addition, the large taxonomic diversity present in plankton and low sampling coverage pose challenges in obtaining a better understanding of true zooplankton diversity. Molecular identification tools, like DNA barcoding, have been successfully used to identify marine planktonic specimens to a species. However, the behaviour of methods for specimen identification and species delimitation remain untested for taxonomically diverse and widely-distributed marine zooplanktonic groups. Using Canadian marine planktonic crustacean collections, I generated a multi-gene data set including COI-5P and 18S-V4 molecular markers of morphologically-identified Copepoda and Thecostraca (Multicrustacea: Hexanauplia) species. I used this data set to assess generalities in the genetic divergence patterns and to determine if a barcode gap exists separating interspecific and intraspecific molecular divergences, which can reliably delimit specimens into species. I then used this information to evaluate the North Pacific, Arctic, and North Atlantic biogeography of marine Calanoida (Hexanauplia: Copepoda) plankton.
