Amphidromy in Shrimps: a Life Cycle Between Rivers and the Sea
Lat. Am. J. Aquat. Res., 41(4): 633-650, 2013 Amphidromy in shrimps: a life cycle 633 “Studies on Freshwater Decapods in Latin America” Ingo S. Wehrtmann & Raymond T. Bauer (Guest Editors) DOI: 103856/vol41-issue4-fulltext-2 Review Amphidromy in shrimps: a life cycle between rivers and the sea Raymond T. Bauer1 1Department of Biology, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, Louisiana, 70504-2451 USA ABSTRACT. Amphidromy is a diadromous life history pattern, common in tropical and subtropical freshwater caridean shrimps, in which adults live, breed and spawn small-sized embryos in freshwater but have extended larval development (ELD) in marine waters. Most completely freshwater species spawn large embryos with either direct or abbreviated larval development (ALD). An important benefit of amphidromy is dispersal among river systems via marine larvae, which increases their access to alternative habitats. Thus, amphidromous species have much broader geographic distributions than closely related completely freshwater ones with ALD. ALD and freshwater ELD species appear to have evolved from amphidromous species with marine ancestors. Delivery of larvae to the sea in many amphidromous species is accomplished by upstream hatching and river drift of larvae to the sea. In other species, the females themselves apparently migrate down to marine waters to spawn. After development, the postlarvae must find a river mouth and migrate upstream to the adult habitat. Migrations occur at night, with juveniles swimming or crawling along the river or stream bank. Larvae are released during the wet or flood season of the year, while juvenile migrations take place during the dry or low-flow season. -
Decapod Crustacean Grooming: Functional Morphology, Adaptive Value, and Phylogenetic Significance
Decapod crustacean grooming: Functional morphology, adaptive value, and phylogenetic significance N RAYMOND T.BAUER Center for Crustacean Research, University of Southwestern Louisiana, USA ABSTRACT Grooming behavior is well developed in many decapod crustaceans. Antennular grooming by the third maxillipedes is found throughout the Decapoda. Gill cleaning mechanisms are qaite variable: chelipede brushes, setiferous epipods, epipod-setobranch systems. However, microstructure of gill cleaning setae, which are equipped with digitate scale setules, is quite conservative. General body grooming, performed by serrate setal brushes on chelipedes and/or posterior pereiopods, is best developed in decapods at a natant grade of body morphology. Brachyuran crabs exhibit less body grooming and virtually no specialized body grooming structures. It is hypothesized that the fouling pressures for body grooming are more severe in natant than in replant decapods. Epizoic fouling, particularly microbial fouling, and sediment fouling have been shown r I m ans of amputation experiments to produce severe effects on olfactory hairs, gills, and i.icubated embryos within short lime periods. Grooming has been strongly suggested as an important factor in the coevolution of a rhizocephalan parasite and its anomuran host. The behavioral organization of grooming is poorly studied; the nature of stimuli promoting grooming is not understood. Grooming characters may contribute to an understanding of certain aspects of decapod phylogeny. The occurrence of specialized antennal grooming brushes in the Stenopodidea, Caridea, and Dendrobranchiata is probably not due to convergence; alternative hypotheses are proposed to explain the distribution of this grooming character. Gill cleaning and general body grooming characters support a thalassinidean origin of the Anomura; the hypothesis of brachyuran monophyly is supported by the conservative and unique gill-cleaning method of the group. -

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) divides the Atlantic Ocean longitudinally into two halves, each with a series of major basins delimited by secondary, more or less transverse ridges. Recent biological investigations in this area were carried out within the framework of the international project Mar-Eco (Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystems of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge). In 2009 (from October, 25 to November, 29) 12 benthic sampling events were conducted on the R/V Akademik Ioffe, during the first oceanographic cruise of South Atlantic Mar-Eco. -
Abundance and Diversity of Decapod Crustaceans in the Deep-Catalan Sea (Western Mediterranean)
JOURNAL OF NATURAL HISTORY, 1992, 26, 1305-1323 Abundance and diversity of decapod crustaceans in the deep-Catalan Sea (Western Mediterranean) J. E. CARTES and F. SARDA Institut de Ciencies del Mar, Passeig National s/n, 08039 Barcelona, Spain (Accepted 7 August 1992) The deep-slope decapod fauna of the Catalan Sea was extensively sampled with an OTSB-14 bottom trawl. A total of 67 bottom tows were taken from 1985 to 1989 at bottom depths ranging from 552 to 2261 m. Species in which abundance decreased with depth were Plesionika acanthonotus, Polycheles typhlops, Calocaris macandreae and Geryon longipes. Highest densities of Acanthephyra eximia, Stereomastis sculpta, and Nematocarcinus exilis were attained at the great est depths studied. Total abundance, biomass and species richness for decapod crustaceans as a whole decreased with depth. Maximum decapod biomass and diversity occurred on the upper-middle slope on soft bottoms in the .Catalan Sea and in all regions for which data were available. In the Catalan Sea, an oligotrophic area, the abundance of decapods as a group seemed to be higher than in north- Atlantic eutrophic regions. In these latter areas, other deep-sea benthic invertebrate groups, particularly ophiuroids, predominate. KEYWORDS: Decapod crustaceans, Mediterranean, abundance, biomass, diversity. Introduction The deep-sea decapod crustacean fauna in the Mediterranean has been only quali tatively studied (Carpine, 1970a; Reyss, 1971; Fredj and Laubier, 1985; Peres, 1985; Abello and Valladares, 1988; Cartes, 1992 and references cited). Data on abundance, biomass and on the dominant species along the deep slope are particularly scarce. The structure of bathyal decapod crustacean populations on the upper slope in the northwestern Mediterranean is relatively well known (Zariquiey Alvarez, 1968; Sarda and Palomera, 1981; Abello et al., 1988) down to a depth of 800 m, with data on species abundance and biomass also available. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Two species of the Acanthephyridae, Acanthephyra brevicarinata Hanamura, 1984, and A. brevirostris Smith, 1885, are reported for the Pacific coast of Mexico. The number of known localities for A. brevicarinata, a species endemic to the eastern Pacific, is increased from 24 to 70 and the number of specimens on records from 160 to 363. New distribution limits are provided for this species, from 25°02’N; 112°54’W to 16°58’N; 100°55’W, including the central and northern Gulf of California from 28°01’N; 112°17’W southwards. Based on previous information related to its capture and the mor- phology of its first larval stage, A. brevicarinata is considered to be part of the nektobenthic fauna. -

The family Oplophoridae is well represented in this area. Five of the seven known genera were identified. Hymenodora frontalis, H. glacialis, and H. gracilis were described and further differentiating characters were illustrated. Other mem- bers of the family Oplophoridae were illustrated and described as follows: Acanthephyra curtirostris, Meningodora mollis, Notostomus japonicus, Systellaspis braueri and S. cristata. Species of the family Pasiphaeidae, although less well repre- sented, were identified. The presence or absence of the mandibular palp in these two species, Parapasiphaë sulcatifrons and P. cristata, found to be of little systematic value in separating them. Specimens with a carapace length of 7- 10mm lack a mandibular palp; one with a carapace length of 17 -25mm had a two -segmented palp. Pasiphaea pacifica, P. magna, and P. chacei were identified and illustrated. The taxonomy, geographical distribution, color and luminescence are discussed.

On Some Rare Oplophoridae (Caridea, Decapoda) from the South Mid-Atlantic Ridge

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) divides the Atlantic Ocean longitudinally into two halves, each with a series of major basins delimited by secondary, more or less transverse ridges. Recent biological investigations in this area were carried out within the framework of the international project Mar-Eco (Patterns and Processes of the Ecosystems of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge). In 2009 (from October, 25 to November, 29) 12 benthic sampling events were conducted on the R/V Akademik Ioffe, during the first oceanographic cruise of South Atlantic Mar-Eco. As a result we report some rare Oplophoridae species collected during the cruise. This family includes 73 species occurring strictly on the meso- and bathypelagic zones of the oceans. Five Oplophoridae species were sampled: Acanthephyra acanthitelsonis Bate, 1888; A. quadrispinosa Kemp, 1939; Heterogenys monnioti Crosnier, 1987; Hymenodora glacialis (Buchholz, 1874) and Kemphyra corallina (A. Milne-Edwards, 1883). Among these, H. monnioti and K. corallina are considered extremely rare, both with very few records. Of the sampled species, only A. quadrispinosa and H. glacialis were previously recorded to southwestern Atlantic, so the Oplophoridae fauna of the South MAR seems more related with the fauna from the eastern Atlantic and Indian oceans. -
Decapoda (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico, with Comments on the Amphionidacea
•59 Decapoda (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico, with Comments on the Amphionidacea Darryl L. Felder, Fernando Álvarez, Joseph W. Goy, and Rafael Lemaitre The decapod crustaceans are primarily marine in terms of abundance and diversity, although they include a variety of well- known freshwater and even some semiterrestrial forms. Some species move between marine and freshwater environments, and large populations thrive in oligohaline estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico (GMx). Yet the group also ranges in abundance onto continental shelves, slopes, and even the deepest basin floors in this and other ocean envi- ronments. Especially diverse are the decapod crustacean assemblages of tropical shallow waters, including those of seagrass beds, shell or rubble substrates, and hard sub- strates such as coral reefs. They may live burrowed within varied substrates, wander over the surfaces, or live in some Decapoda. After Faxon 1895. special association with diverse bottom features and host biota.
