Community analysis of offshore MCZ grab and video data (2014). A report to JNCC by Seastar Survey Ltd. JNCC Report No. 588. JNCC, Peterborough. Community analysis of offshore MCZ grab and video data Summary The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 allows for the creation of a type of Marine Protected Area (MPA), called a Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ). MCZs are intended to provide protection to a range of nationally important marine wildlife, habitats, geology and geomorphology, and can be designated anywhere in English and Welsh inshore and UK offshore waters. Government policy dictates that establishment of MCZs should be based on the “best available evidence”. The Marine Conservation Zone Project has identified a number of potential MCZs in English inshore and English, Welsh and Northern Irish offshore waters. A number of surveys have been undertaken to gather evidence on the composition of seabed habitats and communities within MCZ areas. Seastar Survey Ltd. was contracted by JNCC in financial year 2013/14 to undertake statistical analysis on benthic community data collected from several offshore MCZs. The results of these analyses were then used to assign biotopes to the survey data based on both the Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland (Connor et al 2004) and EUNIS classification scheme. Data were supplied as faunal abundance counts from both benthic grab samples and from video footage and still images. Various different methodologies were used to rationalise data sets before undertaking multivariate statistical analyses using the PRIMER software package. Data from four offshore MCZs were analysed: South-West Deeps (West) MCZ North-East of Farnes Deep MCZ (formerly Rock Unique rMCZ) Swallow Sand MCZ East of Haig Fras MCZ The following European Nature Information System (EUNIS)1 biotopes were assigned after multivariate analysis of the survey data: North East of Farnes Deep – 4x level 4 habitats (SS.SCS.OCS; SS.SSa.OSa; SS.SMx.CMx and SS.SMx.OMx) and 3x level 5 biotopes (SS.SSa.CFiSa.EpusOborApri; SS.SSa.OSa.OfusAfil; SS.SSa.OSa.SpnMac; SS.SMx.OMx.PoVen) East of Haig Fras – 4x level 4 habitats (SS.SCS.OCS, SS.SSa.OSa; SS.SMu.OMu; SS.SMx.OMx) and 3x level 5 biotopes (CR.HCR.DpSp.(PhaAxi); SS.SSa.CFiSa.EpusOborApri; SS.SMx.OMx.PoVen) South-West Deeps (West) – 4x level 4 habitats (SS.SCS.OCS; SS.SSa.OSa; SS.SMu.OMu; SS.SMx.OMx) and 3x level 5 biotopes (SS.SSa.OSa.(Pex); SS.SSa.OSa.(Ech); SS.SMx.OMx.PoVen; SS.SMx.OMx.Csmi) Swallow Sand – 4x level 3 biotopes (SS.SSa.OSa; SS.SMu.CFiMu; SS.SMu.OMu; SS.SMx.CMx) and 4x level 4 sub-biotopes (SS.SSa.OSa.MalDef; SS.SSa.OSa.Dari; SS.SMu.CFiMu.SpnMeg; SS.SMu.OMu.PjefThyAfil) New biotopes included ‘Seapens and macrofauna on deep circalittoral fine sand’ (SS.SSa.OSa.SpnMac), ‘Deep circalittoral sand with heart urchins’ (SS.SSa.OSa.(Ech)), ‘Deep circalittoral sand with Paraphellia expansa’ (SS.SSa.OSa.(Pex)), ‘Deep circalittoral mixed sediment with Caryophyllia smithii’ (SS.SMx.OMx.Csmi) and ‘Deep circalittoral muddy sand with Ditrupa arietina’ (SS.SSa.OSa.Dari). The various limitations encountered during the project are discussed. The two principal limitations included a general lack of taxa present within the video/still data sets, and level of taxonomic identification that could be made from video/still data. The multivariate analysis 1 http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/ Community analysis of offshore MCZ grab and video data methods employed were generally unable to reliably assign biotopes to video and still data based on faunal community data alone.

We review the main methods used to slaughter the major decapod crustaceans, highlighting problems posed by each method for animal welfare. The aim is to identify methods that are the least likely to cause suffering. These methods can then be recommended, whereas other methods that are more likely to cause suffering may be banned. We thus request changes in the legal status of this group of animals, to protect them from slaughter techniques that are not viewed as being acceptable.

Ethical and Legislative Considerations Annamaria Passantino 1,* , Robert William Elwood 2 and Paolo Coluccio 3 1 Department of Veterinary Sciences, University of Messina-Polo Universitario Annunziata, 98168 Messina, Italy 2 School of Biological Sciences, Queen’s University, Belfast BT9 5DL, Northern Ireland, UK; [email protected] 3 Department of Neurosciences, Psychology, Drug Research and Child Health (NEUROFARBA), University of Florence, Viale Pieraccini 6, 50139 Firenze, Italy; paolo.coluccio@unifi.it * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Current European legislation that protects animals used for scientific purposes excludes decapod crustaceans (for example, lobster, crab and crayfish) on the grounds that they are non-sentient and, therefore, incapable of suffering. However, recent work suggests that this view requires substantial revision. Our current understanding of the nervous systems and behavior of decapods suggests an urgent need to amend and update all relevant legislation. This paper examines recent experiments that suggest sentience and how that work has changed current opinion. It reflects on the use of decapods as models in biomedical research and in ecotoxicology, and it recommends that these animals should be included in the European protection legislation. Abstract: Decapod crustaceans are widely used as experimental models, due to their biology, their sensitivity to pollutants and/or their convenience of collection and use. Decapods have been Citation: Passantino, A.; Elwood, viewed as being non-sentient, and are not covered by current legislation from the European Par- R.W.; Coluccio, P. Why Protect liament. However, recent studies suggest it is likely that they experience pain and may have the Decapod Crustaceans Used as capacity to suffer.

Bergmann and P. G. Moore Bergmann, M. and Moore, P. G. 2001. Survival of decapod crustaceans discarded in the Nephrops fishery of the Clyde Sea area, Scotland. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 58: 163–171. The Clyde Sea Nephrops fishery produces large amounts of invertebrate discards. Of these, as much as 89% are decapod crustaceans, including the swimming crab Liocarcinus depurator (Linnaeus, 1758), the squat lobster Munida rugosa (Fabricius, 1775) and the hermit crab Pagurus bernhardus (Linnaeus, 1758). The short-term mortality of these species was assessed following trawling and periods of aerial exposure on deck (16–90 min), and ranged from 2–25%, with Pagurus bernhardus showing the lowest mortality. Two experiments were performed to determine the longer-term survival of trawled decapods compared to those with experimentally ablated appendages. Deliberately damaged decapods had a significantly lower longer- term survival (ca. 30%) than controls (72–83%). Survival of trawled Liocarcinus depurator that had been induced to autotomize two appendages was slightly lower (74%) compared with intact creel-caught animals (92%). Mortality rates stabilised about 10 d after trawling. Our results suggest that post-trawling mortality of discarded decapod crustaceans has been underestimated in the past, owing to inadequate monitoring periods. 2001 International Council for the Exploration of the Sea Key words: by-catch mortality, trawling, discards, injury, autotomy, decapod crustaceans, Liocarcinus depurator, Munida rugosa, Pagurus bernhardus, Scotland, survival.

There were no very early students of the Crustacea in these northern counties, and we are not aware of any publications on the subject prior to 1832. The following notes supply a record of all observations and papers up to the year 1862-4, at which time a stimulus was given to the study of this and other branches of Marine Zoology by grants from the British Association. These, with local contributions, enabled dredge ing to be carried out by means of a steam-tug in the deeper waters which lie off the coast.

  • Phylogenetic Systematics of the Reptantian Decapoda (Crustacea, Malacostraca)
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society (1995), 113: 289–328. With 21 figures Phylogenetic systematics of the reptantian Decapoda (Crustacea, Malacostraca) GERHARD SCHOLTZ AND STEFAN RICHTER Freie Universita¨t Berlin, Institut fu¨r Zoologie, Ko¨nigin-Luise-Str. 1-3, D-14195 Berlin, Germany Received June 1993; accepted for publication January 1994 Although the biology of the reptantian Decapoda has been much studied, the last comprehensive review of reptantian systematics was published more than 80 years ago. We have used cladistic methods to reconstruct the phylogenetic system of the reptantian Decapoda. We can show that the Reptantia represent a monophyletic taxon. The classical groups, the ‘Palinura’, ‘Astacura’ and ‘Anomura’ are paraphyletic assemblages. The Polychelida is the sister-group of all other reptantians. The Astacida is not closely related to the Homarida, but is part of a large monophyletic taxon which also includes the Thalassinida, Anomala and Brachyura. The Anomala and Brachyura are sister-groups and the Thalassinida is the sister-group of both of them. Based on our reconstruction of the sister-group relationships within the Reptantia, we discuss alternative hypotheses of reptantian interrelationships, the systematic position of the Reptantia within the decapods, and draw some conclusions concerning the habits and appearance of the reptantian stem species.
