    J. LAURENS BARNt Keys to the Hawaiian Marine Gammaridea, 0-30 Meters SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY NUMBER 58 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge not strictly professional." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Z0°l°iy Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. Each publica- tion is distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, institutes, and interested specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smith- sonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S.

The Occurrence of Atylus ekmani (Gurjanova, 1938) (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Gammaridea) from Southern Hokkaido, Japan Mika OKADO* Abstract Atylus ekmani (Gurjanova, 1938), (Arophipoda, Gammaridea, Atylidae) was collected from the Pacific coast of southern Hokkaido for the first time. It is described and illustrated on the basis of six specimens. This species is characterized by its dorsal teeth formula: 1, 1, 2 pleosome and 1 urosome median tooth/teeth on pleon 3, urosome 1, and fused urosomes 2 and 3, respectively. The sexual dimorphism, coloration of the living animal, and some biological aspects are noted. Introduction The genus Atylus, which belongs to the dexaminoid family Atylidae (Bousfield, 1982; Schram, 1986; Bousfield and Kendall, in prep.), is now represented by 34 species worldwide (Barnard and Karaman, 1991; Hirayama, 1986). Up to the present, eight species of this genus have been reported from the northern part of the Western Pacific (Barnard and Karaman, 1991), and two of those were reported from Japanese waters: Atylus japonicus Nagata, 1961 from the Seto Inland Sea; A. occidentalis Hirayama, 1986 from Otsuchi Bay, northern Japan. During a survey of the fauna around the Usujiri Marine Biological Laboratory of Hokkaido University in 1991, six specimens of Atylus ekmani (Gurjanova, 1938) were obtained.

  • Suborder Gammaridea Latreille, 1803
    Systematic List of Amphipods Found in British Columbia by Aaron Baldwin, PhD Candidate School of Fisheries and Ocean Science University of Alaska, Fairbanks Questions and comments can be directed to Aaron Baldwin at [email protected] This list is adapted from my unpublished list “Amphipoda of Alaska” that I had maintained from 1999 to about 2004. This list follows the taxonomy of Bousfield (2001b) and utilizes his ranges as confirmed records for British Columbia. It is important to note that I have not updated the original list for about five years, so name changes, range extensions, and new species since that time are unlikely to be included. Because of the relative difficulty in amphipod identification and the shortage of specialists there are undoubtedly many more species that have yet to be discovered and/or named. In cases where I believe that a family or genus will likely be discovered I included a bolded note. Traditional classification divides the amphipods into four suborders, of which three occur on our coast. This classification is utilized here (but see note on Hyperiida at end of list), but is likely artificial as the Hyperiidea and Caprelidea probably nest within the Gammaridea. Myers and Lowry (2003) used molecular work to support elevating the superfamily Corophioidea (Corophoidea) to subordinal status and including the traditional corophoids as well as the caprellids as infraorders within this taxon. These authors cite a reference I do not have (Barnard and Karaman, 1984) as the original source of this classification. As time allows I may include this new and probably better classification updates to this list Key: (?) Author unknown to me and apparently everyone else.

A total of 2,815 amphipods of both species were collected: 1,407 of Nototropis minikoi and 1,408 of Ampithoe longimana. The temperature showed values of 26 to 27 °C, salinity of 35 to 36 units and dissolved oxygen of 6 to 9 mg L-1. The juveniles represented the highest percentage with 55 to 73% in N. minikoi and 57 to 67% in A. longimana. With the Bhattacharya method, 4 to 5 modal classes were found. With the von Bertalanffy model, the greatest maximum length of 10.88 mm (k= 0.35) and 14.54 mm (k= 0.24) in the females of N. minikoi and A. longimana were found, respectively. The average number of eggs was 6.83 ± 4.50 to 8.55 ± 5.22 in N.

General Remarks on the Biology of Orchestia platensis japonica Orchestia platensis japonica is well known as one of the "sand-hoppers" among the gammaridean group and commonly inhabits at the high-water marks on the beach; often found in a great abundance under damp seaweed or straw-mat washed ashore, sometimes living under dead leaves in the damp places far above the sea-shore. The animal is a scavenger, showing the feeding habit of a "biting" type, and often seen crowding together and biting at the shucked meat of oyster while the animals are kept in an experimental glass-vessel in the laboratory.

  • Biogeography, Diversity and Environmental Relationships of Shelf and Deep-Sea Benthic Amphipoda Around Iceland
    Biogeography, diversity and environmental relationships of shelf and deep-sea benthic Amphipoda around Iceland Anne-Nina Lörz1, Stefanie Kaiser2, Jens Oldeland3, Caroline Stolter4, Karlotta Kürzel5 and Saskia Brix6 1 Institute for Marine Ecosystems and Fisheries Science, Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany 2 Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, University of Łódź, Lodz, Poland 3 Eco-Systems, Hamburg, Germany 4 Department Biology, Zoological Institute, Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany 5 Department Biology, Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany 6 Deutsches Zentrum für Marine Biodiversität, Senckenberg Nature Research Society, Hamburg, Germany ABSTRACT The waters around Iceland, bounding the Northern North Atlantic and the Nordic seas, are a region characterized by complex hydrography and seabed topography. This and the presence of the Greenland-Iceland-Faroe-Scotland ridge (GIFR) are likely to have a major impact on the diversity and distribution of the benthic fauna there. Biodiversity in this region is also under increasing threat from climate-induced changes, ocean warming and acidification in particular, affecting the marine realm. The aim of the present study was to investigate the biodiversity and distributional patterns of amphipod crustaceans in Icelandic waters and how it relates to environmental variables and depth. A comprehensive data set from the literature and recent expeditions was compiled constituting distributional records for 355 amphipod species across a major depth gradient (18–3,700 m). Using a 1 Submitted 30 March 2021 Accepted 13 July 2021 hexagonal grid to map amphipod distributions and a set of environmental factors Published 11 August 2021 (depth, pH, phytobiomass, velocity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved iron, salinity and Corresponding author temperature) we could identify four distinct amphipod assemblages: A Deep-North, Anne-Nina Lörz, Anne-Nina.
