  • 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.

Gingras1,*, Shahin E. Dashtgard2, James A. MacEachern2, S. George Pemberton1 1Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, 1-26 Earth Science Building, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E3, Canada 2Department of Earth Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia V5A 1S6, Canada ABSTRACT: This study considers the construction and functionality of biogenic structures made by marine, vermiform nemerteans, polychaetes and hemichordates; marine crustaceans; motile bivalves; motile echinoderms; and sponges and sea anemones. We report on a range of modern biogenic struc- tures similar to several known ichnogenera. Vermiform animals dominantly occupy vertical burrows that range from simple through helical shafts to Y- and U-shapes. Horizontal traces made by worms range in form, but are dominated by branching and variably sinuous to meandering burrows. Crustaceans primarily excavate open burrow systems that possess a range of architectures that are similar to either Thalassinoides or Psilonichnus. Smaller crustaceans, such as amphipods, mix the sediment. Bivalve traces vary in form, but generally preserve evidence of vertically oriented filter or interface-deposit feed- ing from a stationary location, rapid vertical escape, or horizontal grazing. Echinoderms dominantly pre- serve body impressions and motility traces, such as Asteriacites. An important class of biogenic structure, Scolicia and Bichordites, are made by urchins. Finally, sea anemones can generate large, penetrative, conical biogenic structures.

  • Mediterranean Marine Science Vol
    Mediterranean Marine Science Vol. 5/2, 2004, 53-64 Key for the identification of Mediterranean brachyuran megalopae D. PESSANI, T. TIRELLI & S. FLAGELLA Dipartimento di Biologia Animale e dell’Uomo, Via Accademia Albertina 17, 10123 Torino, Italy e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Based on larval literature, an identification key has been constructed for the megalopae of 55 species of Mediterranean Brachyura. This key is based mainly on external morphological characteristics visible, by using a microscope, limiting the necessity for dissection of specimens. Characteristics used include presence/absence of ornamentation on the carapace, number of abdominal somites, number and position of setae and/or spines on antennula, antenna, pereiopods and structure of uropods, etc. Partial dissection is only required to count the setae on the scaphognathite margin. Using the above characters, it is also possible to gather almost all the families into groups. However, the megalopae of Portunidae as well as those of the three species of Brachynotus genus are similar to each other and their identification at a specific level requires the use of features somehow variable and difficult to count. In the Majidae, the megalopae of 14 species are already known. The complexity of morphological characters typical of this family makes it difficult to define characters common to all spider crab megalopae. Nevertheless, the key may be an aid for carcinology studies, especially those including sorting and identification of megalopae from plankton samples. Keywords: Larval development; Larval morphology; Key; Decapoda; Brachyura; Mediterranean Sea. Introduction obtaining this phase usually results in a high zoeal mortality. The larval development of Brachyura Of the 138 species of Brachyura totally present (Crustacea, Decapoda) includes two or more in the Mediterranean (d’Udekem d’Acoz, 1999), planktonic stages of zoea and the plankto- one or more zoeal stages are known for 78 benthonic stage of megalopa.

Goneplax craverii Crema, 1895, previously assigned to Retropluma Gill, 1894, G. formosa Ristori, 1886, and G. meneghinii Ristori, 1886, are regarded as junior synonyms of G. rhomboides, while G. sacci Crema, 1895, is considered a nomen dubium. Albaidaplax n. gen. is here erected to include both the Italian specimens from the Miocene of Rio Popogna (Livorno, Tuscany, Italy) and the Spanish specimens from the Pliocene of Guadalquivir Basin (Seville, Andalusia, Spain) previously assigned to G. gulderi. Finally, Ommatocarcinus arenicola Glaessner, 1960, from the Late Oligocene-Middle Miocene of New Zealand, is assigned to the extant Neogoneplax Castro, 2007, constituting the first report of this genus in the fossil record. Keywords: Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Goneplacidae, Miocene, Pliocene, Italy, Austria, Spain, New Zealand.

  • Le Gonoplace Rhomboïde Goneplax Rhomboides (Linnaeus, 1758)
    1 Le gonoplace rhomboïde Goneplax rhomboides (Linnaeus, 1758) Comment citer cette fiche : Noël P., 2015. Le gonoplace rhomboïde Goneplax rhomboides (Linnaeus, 1758). in Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle [Ed.], 10 juin 2015. Inventaire national du Patrimoine naturel, pp. 1- 11, site web http://inpn.mnhn.fr Contact de l'auteur : Pierre Noël, SPN et DMPA, Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, 43 rue Buffon (CP 48), 75005 Paris ; e-mail [email protected] Résumé Chez le gonoplace rhomboïde la carapace est beaucoup plus large que longue ; elle peut atteindre 37,5 mm de large. Cette carapace est lisse, quadrangulaire, et fortement convexe longitudinalement ; sa région frontale est large, tronquée, fortement inclinée vers le bas. Les pédoncules oculaires sont cylindriques et très allongés. La carapace est jaunâtre à rougeâtre pâle avec des teintes violacées. Les chélipèdes sont plutôt jaunes ou orangés, avec le milieu du doigt mobile noir. La moitié antérieure de la carapace de l'animal a des couleurs vives et la moitié postérieure est plutôt pâle, avec une limite très nette entre les deux en forme d'accolade. Ce crabe creuse des galeries ramifiées complexes dans la vase ou le sable vaseux ; il s'y nourrit de petits organismes comme petits crustacés, mollusques, vers etc. De nombreux poissons sont des prédateurs de ce crabe. Il se rencontre principalement de -15 à -400m de profondeur. Goneplax rhomboides est présent sur toutes les côtes de l'Atlantique est depuis 60°N au nord jusqu'à l'Afrique tropicale. En France, il est principalement présent sur les côtes de l'Atlantique et de la Méditerranée.

  • Decapoda, Brachyura) from Thenwmediterraneancoast
    PROTIST-BRYOZOAN-CRUSTACEANHYPEREPIBIOSIS ON GONEPLAX RHOMBOIDES (LINNAEUS,1758) (DECAPODA, BRACHYURA) FROM THENW MEDITERRANEANCOAST BY GREGORIO FERNANDEZ-LEBORANS 1/ Departamentode BiologiaAnimal I (Zoologia),Facultad de Biologia, Pnta 9, UniversidadComplutense, E-28040 Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT Aprotist-bryozoan-crustaceanhyperepibiosis was observed on specimens of the brachyuran decapod Goneplaxrhomboides collectedon the NW Mediterraneancoast. The primary epibionts werectenostomate bryozoans of the species Triticella ava .Thesecondary epibionts were ciliate protists (Zoothamnium , Cothurnia, and Corynophrya ).Thebryozoans were located on thefollowing areasof thecrab: ocular orbits, maxillae, maxillipeds, chelipeds, pereiopods, dorsal carapace, ventral cephalothorax,abdomen, and carapace areas between the pereiopods. Ciliate protists were attached indistinctlyto any of the surfaces of the bryozoans. The maximum number of bryozoans per crab was943, and of ciliates per crab, 1,466. Data regarding the number of bryozoans and ciliates on eachsurface area of thecrab are presented. Statistical analysis was carried out in order to relate the variousanatomical units of the crab with the epibionts present. There was a signicant correlation betweenthe size (i.e., width) of the crab and the number of bryozoanepibionts. There also was a signicant correlation between the number of bryozoans and the number of ciliates per crab. The dataobtained were compared with those corresponding to other specimens of Goneplaxrhomboides previouslysampled in the same geographical area that showed the same ciliates, but in that case adheringdirectly to thesurface of the crab. There was a signicant correlation between specimens of G.rhomboides withand without bryozoan epibionts with respect to thenumber of individualsof Cothurnia oneach anatomical unit of the crab. In addition, there also was a signicant difference betweencrabs with and without bryozoans epibionts as tothe number of protistepibionts on each surfacearea of the crustacean.
