Road Cochin-682 031 India Compiled by Dr. E. JOHNSON Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute Cochin-682 031 Printed at S. K. Enterpri«e», Cochin-18 PREFACE Research and Development efforts on marine fisheries of the country have contributed to a rapid growth of literature. However, no attempts have so far been made to develop bibliographies on commercially important species/groups of marine fishes of India, so that the large community of research worl^ers and fishery managers could be benefited. Therefore, to begin with, the Central IVlarine Fisheries Research Institute has talcen up a programme of compilation of 'Annotated Bibliographies' on major commercially important fisheries lii<e those of prawns, oil sardine, mackerel, silver-bellies, ribbon-fishes and Bombay-duck. Efforts have been made to include all the relevant literature in these bibliographies. There could be some omissions and the bibliography is not claimed to be complete in itself. The Institute would welcome information on omissions of any important citations. Annotations have been done carefully to give at a glance the correct details from the original publications. Whenever the authors' abstracts are found sufficient these were reproduced as such, otherwise either the available abstracts are modified or fresh abstracts made based on the contents of the original articles. The present number entitled 'Annotated biblio­ graphy of commercially important prawns and prawn fisheries of India' is the first in the series of bibliographies proposed to be published. I hope this will be useful for the scientists and others in the field by enabling them to have a rapid survey of relevant literature. I appreciate the interest taken and efforts made by Dr. E. Johnson of the Library and Documentation Division for the compilation of this annotated bibliography. Dr. P. S. B. R. JAMES Director Cochin-682 031 2-9-1989. CONTENTS I.

Penaeid prawns consisting of the commercial species Penaeus merguiensis, Metapenaeus dobsoni and M. monoceros abundantly occur in the mangrove swamp during the premonsoon season. Recruitment to the swamp takes place when the individuals are between 10mm and 20mm in size. Growth rate and period of stay in this environment vary with species. About 46.5% of the population is comprised of juveniles ranging in size from 10mm to 30mm. 2. ACHUTHANKUTTY; C. T.; PARULEKAR, A. H.1986.

  • New Zealand's Genetic Diversity
    1.13 NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY Dennis P. Gordon National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6022, New Zealand ABSTRACT: The known genetic diversity represented by the New Zealand biota is reviewed and summarised, largely based on a recently published New Zealand inventory of biodiversity. All kingdoms and eukaryote phyla are covered, updated to refl ect the latest phylogenetic view of Eukaryota. The total known biota comprises a nominal 57 406 species (c. 48 640 described). Subtraction of the 4889 naturalised-alien species gives a biota of 52 517 native species. A minimum (the status of a number of the unnamed species is uncertain) of 27 380 (52%) of these species are endemic (cf. 26% for Fungi, 38% for all marine species, 46% for marine Animalia, 68% for all Animalia, 78% for vascular plants and 91% for terrestrial Animalia). In passing, examples are given both of the roles of the major taxa in providing ecosystem services and of the use of genetic resources in the New Zealand economy. Key words: Animalia, Chromista, freshwater, Fungi, genetic diversity, marine, New Zealand, Prokaryota, Protozoa, terrestrial. INTRODUCTION Article 10b of the CBD calls for signatories to ‘Adopt The original brief for this chapter was to review New Zealand’s measures relating to the use of biological resources [i.e. genetic genetic resources. The OECD defi nition of genetic resources resources] to avoid or minimize adverse impacts on biological is ‘genetic material of plants, animals or micro-organisms of diversity [e.g. genetic diversity]’ (my parentheses).

Seven shrimp species ( Aristaeomorpha foliacea , Aristeus antenna - tus , Parapenaeus longirostris , Plesionika edwardsii , Plesionika martia , Pasiphae sivado and Pontocaris lacazei ) were collected as a result of ten trawl operations with a commercial bottom trawl. The most abundant species were P. longirostris (52.06%), A. foliacea (35.64%) and P. edwardsii (9.50%), represent - ing 97.20% of all captured shrimps. The catch per unit eort (CPUE) ranged from 3.094 kg/h to 9.251 kg/h, with an average value of 5.44 ± 2.01 kg/h for shrimps. A total of 37 sh species (28 teleosts and nine elasmobranchs) were captured. The prevailing sh species in catches were Chlorophthalmus agassizi , Merluccius merluccius and Etmopterus spinax in terms of biomass and Helicolenus dactylopterus , Hoplo - stethus mediterraneus , Trachurus trachurus and Lepidopus caudatus in terms of abundance.

  • Épicarides Et Rhizocéphales De Roscoff
    ÉPICARIDES ET RHIZOCÉPHALES DE ROSCOFF. par Roland Bourdon. Station Biologique de Roscoff. Bien que les Epicarides et les Rhizocéphales de Roscoff aient fait l'objet de diverses recherches, notamment de la part de Ch. Pérez (1), aucun inventaire des espèces n’en avait encore été dressé. Les formes signalées par les différents auteurs étaient d’ailleurs assez peu nom­ breuses puisqu’elles ne dépa-ssaient pas la vingtaine. Les prospections qu’il nous a été donné d’effectuer, tant à la côte qu’en dragage, depuis septembre 1960, nous ont montré que la région de Roscoff est, en fait, beaucoup plus riche en parasites, leur nombre s’élevant, en effet, à 52 espèces parasitant 48 hôtes différents. De même que nous l’avons fait dans une note précédente (Bour­ don, 1960), nous accompagnerons la présente liste d’une statistique d’infestation pour chaque espèce et, éventuellement, de quelques remarques d’ordre morphologique ou éthologique, réservant à plus tard la publication d’un travail systématique et biologique d’ensemble sur la faune des Epicarides des côtes de France. RHIZOCÉPHALES. Famille des Peltogas+ridae. SEPTOSACCUS RODRIGUEZI (Fraisse, 1876). Hôte : Diogenes pugilator (Roux, 1829). Matériel examiné : 2.851 individus. Fréquence : 219 cas, soit un taux d’infestation de 7,7 p. 100. Stations : Saint-Efflam ; également Locquirec, d’après Pérez (1928). Remarques. — Des taux d’infestation nettement plus élevés ont été donnés pour cette espèce à Saint-Efflam. C’est ainsi que Pérez (1928, 1929) trouvait un degré de parasitisme d’environ 40 p. 100 et que Veillet (1951) indiquait que le quart des Diogenes portait le Septosaccus.

Isopods are a highly diversified group of deep-sea fauna, with a wide variety of shapes which 14 must reflect a similar great variety of adaptations to the deep environments. The deep Mediterranean, 15 however, has a low diversity of isopods related to its oligotrophy, the thermal stability of deep-water 16 masses (~12.8 °C below 150 ˗ 200 m) and rather homogeneous geomorphology.

    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2016): 79.57 | Impact Factor (2015): 6.391 A Study of Mangroves and Prawn Diversity in Kavanattinkara Amala Sebastian, Sr. Jessy Joseph Kavumkal 1Student, Department of Zoology, Kuriakore Elias College, Mannanam, Kottayam, Kerala, India 2HOD, Department of zoology, Kuriakore Elias College, Mannanam, Kottayam, Kerala, India Abstract: Mangroves are known as the lungs of nature. Kerala once had over 70, 000 hectares of mangroves, fringing its unique estuarine systems. It is considered as the breeding ground of prawns species. There are many factors which facilitate the diversification and abundance of prawn in mangrove area. The detritus content, hiding area, mineral availability, temperature, pH etc. are some of those influential characters. Many prawn species are available in mangrove areas. They are either cultured or naturally occurring. Some of them were studied such as Fenneropenaeus indicus, Metapenaeus dobsoni, Metapenaeus affinis, Macrobranchium rosenbergi, Metapenaeus monoceros. The interview or enquiry method was used for the study. Keywords: Mangroves, Prawn Diversity 1.

As a nutrient filter and the number of species representing the fauna is very much synthesizer of organic matter, mangroves create a living greater than the number of plant species occurring in buffer between land and sea.

  • Crustacea, Decapoda, Dendrobranchiata and Caridea) from Off Northeastern Japan
    Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. A, 42(1), pp. 23–48, February 22, 2016 Additional Records of Deep-water Shrimps (Crustacea, Decapoda, Dendrobranchiata and Caridea) from off Northeastern Japan Tomoyuki Komai1 and Hironori Komatsu2 1 Natural History Museum and Institute, Chiba, 955–2 Aoba-cho, Chiba 260–8682, Japan E-mail: [email protected] 2 Department of Zoology, National Museum of Nature and Science, 4–1–1 Amakubo, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–0005, Japan E-mail: [email protected] (Received 5 October 2015; accepted 22 December 2015) Abstract Four deep-water species of shrimps are newly recorded from off Tohoku District, northeastern Japan: Hepomadus gracialis Spence Bate, 1888 (Dendrobranchiata, Aristeidae), Pasiphaea exilimanus Komai, Lin and Chan, 2012 (Caridea, Pasiphaeidae), Nematocarcinus longirostris Spence Bate, 1888 (Caridea, Nematocarcinidae), and Glyphocrangon caecescens Anonymous, 1891 (Caridea, Glyphocrangonidae). Of them, the bathypelagic P. exilimanus is new to the Japanese fauna. The other three species are abyssobenthic, extending to depths greater than 3000 m, and thus have been rarely collected. The newly collected samples of H. gracialis enable us to reassess diagnostic characters of the species. Nematocarcinus longirostris is rediscovered since the original description, and the taxonomy of the species is reviewed. Glyphocrangon caecescens is the sole representative of the family extending to off northern Japan. Key words : Hepomadus gracialis, Pasiphaea exilimanus, Nematocarcinus longirostris, Glypho- crangon caecescens,
