Prólogo Entre los días 21 y 23 de noviembre de 2017 se llevó a cabo en Tigre, Provincia de Buenos Aires, el 18º Simposio Científico de la Comisión Técnica Mixta del Frente Marítimo. En esa oportunidad el Simposio estuvo dedicado a conmemorar el 40º aniversario de la creación de la Comisión Técnica Mixta del Frente Marítimo (CTMFM) que tuvo lugar el 16 de agosto de 1976 y de su primera Sesión Plenaria, que tuvo lugar el 4 de febrero de 1977. El volumen 25 de FRENTE MARÍTIMO publicado en 2018 contiene, con la única excepción de la obra que aquí prologamos, todos los trabajos presentados en el Simposio que fueran oportunamente enviados al Comité Editor y aceptados para su publicación. El presente volumen se destina entonces, en exclusividad, a publicar la mencionada obra: el Catalogo anotado y bibliografía de los camarones, langostas, cangrejos y formas afines, estuarinas y marinas (Crustacea: Decapoda), de Argentina y Uruguay (Océano Atlántico Sudoccidental). Hace 27 años la CTMFM publicó el Catálogo ilustrado de los crustáceos estomatópodos y decápodos marinos de Argentina (Boschi et al., 1992) registrados en aguas costeras, de plataforma y de profundidad, que incluía 93 especies de decápodos. Poco después se publicó una lista de los decápodos de Uruguay (Zolessi y Philippi, 1995) con 107 especies. Desde entonces, el advenimiento de técnicas moleculares, la revalorización de la taxonomía y el incremento de las invasiones biológicas debido al intercambio comercial y al cambio climático global, hacen necesaria la revisión de los trabajos anteriores. Este Catálogo incluye la adición y remoción de especies, una actualización de la taxonomía y sistemática de los grupos involucrados, además de brindar listas bibliográficas sobre los grupos y especies más importantes. No dudamos que será un valiosísimo material de referencia para todos los científicos, técnicos y público interesados en la biogeografía y sistemática de crustáceos. xiii Editorial Committee - Dr. Marcos Domingos Siqueira Tavares - Prof. Fabrizio Scarabino xv Annotated catalogue and bibliography of marine and estuarine shrimps, lobsters, crabs and their allies (Crustacea: Decapoda) of Argentina and Uruguay (Southwestern Atlantic Ocean) Annotated catalogue and bibliography of marine and estuarine shrimps, lobsters, crabs and their allies (Crustacea: Decapoda) of Argentina and Uruguay (Southwestern Atlantic Ocean) Eduardo D.

Bartolomeu de Gusmão, 192, 11030-906 Santos, SP, Brasil) *Corresponding author: [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1679-87592014078806204 A B S T R A C T The Litopenaeus schmitti and Farfantepenaeus paulensis shrimp captured in estuaries are marketed as live bait for recreational fishing. As an alternative to shrimp extractive activities, the authors evaluated the rearing of these species in a recirculation culture system. For each species, the grow-out study was carried out in two 120-day production cycles, using 3,300 juveniles of an average length of 25 mm and weight of 0.9 grams in each, distributed in 12 tanks of 1,500 liters and 1.32 m2, at a population density of 208.3 shrimp per m2. The growth parameters were obtained using the von Bertalanffy model based on the length (mm) and age (weeks) data. The adjustments were made in the R environment of the non-linear least-square method. The von Bertalanffy growth model showed a proper fit, with determination coefficients of 0.900 for L. schmitti and 0.841 for F. paulensis. The values of L∞ and k were 172.66 and 0.027 mm for L. schmitti and 110.13 mm and 0.050 for F.

  • Metanephrops Challengeri)
    Population genetics of New Zealand Scampi (Metanephrops challengeri) Alexander Verry A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology and Biodiversity. Victoria University of Wellington 2017 Page | I Abstract A fundamental goal of fisheries management is sustainable harvesting and the preservation of properly functioning populations. Therefore, an important aspect of management is the identification of demographically independent populations (stocks), which is achieved by estimating the movement of individuals between areas. A range of methods have been developed to determine the level of connectivity among populations; some measure this directly (e.g. mark- recapture) while others use indirect measures (e.g. population genetics). Each species presents a different set of challenges for methods that estimate levels of connectivity. Metanephrops challengeri is a species of nephropid lobster that supports a commercial fishery and inhabits the continental shelf and slope of New Zealand. Very little research on population structure has been reported for this species and it presents a unique set of challenges compared to finfish species. M. challengeri have a short pelagic larval duration lasting up to five days which limits the dispersal potential of larvae, potentially leading to low levels of connectivity among populations. The aim of this study was to examine the genetic population structure of the New Zealand M. challengeri fishery. DNA was extracted from M. challengeri samples collected from the eastern coast of the North Island (from the Bay of Plenty to the Wairarapa), the Chatham Rise, and near the Auckland Islands. DNA from the mitochondrial CO1 gene and nuclear ITS-1 region was amplified and sequenced.

  • Occurrence and Distribution of the Planktonic Shrimps of the Genus Lucifer in the EEZ of India
    J. mar. biol. Ass. India, 47 (1) : 20 - 30, Jan. - June, 2005 Occurrence and distribution of the planktonic shrimps of the genus Lucifer in the EEZ of India Geetha Antony Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Cochin - 682 018, India Abstract The distribution and abundance of decapod shrimps of the family Luciferidae De Haan, 1849 under the super family Sergestoidea Dana, 1852 in the Exclusive Economic Zone of India were studied based on 918 zooplankton samples collected during 37 cruises of FORV Sugar Sampada. All the seven species recorded elsewhere in the world namely, L. @pus H. Milne Edwards, L. hnnseni Nobili, L. penicillifer Hansen, L. faxoni Borradaile, L. chacei Bowman, L, intermedius Hansen and L. orientalis Hansen have been found to occur in the Indian EEZ of which the last three are new records. L. penicillifer is the predominant species in the eastern Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal and L. typus in the island ecosystems of Lakshadweep and Andaman- Nicobar. The neretic region of the Indian EEZ up to 50 m depth supports 51% of these shrimps, the mid-shelf between 50 and lOOm harbours 29%, whereas 12% occur in the outer shelf (100 and 200m) and 8% in the deep zone (>200 m). The presence of L.penicillifer in the eastern Arabian Sea and L.hanseni in the Lakshadweep waters is reported for the first time. Matrix of correlation revealed the highest co-occurrence of these shrimps in the Andaman-Nicobar waters wherein six of the Lucifer species co-exist. Diagnostic characters used in species identi- fication are given and illustrated.

  • Decapod Crustacean Assemblages Off the West Coast of Central Italy (Western Mediterranean)
    SCIENTIA MARINA 71(1) March 2007, 19-28, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 Decapod crustacean assemblages off the West coast of central Italy (western Mediterranean) EMANUELA FANELLI 1, FRANCESCO COLLOCA 2 and GIANDOMENICO ARDIZZONE 2 1 IAMC-CNR Marine Ecology Laboratory, Via G. da Verrazzano 17, 91014 Castellammare del Golfo (Trapani) Italy. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Department of Animal and Human Biology, University of Rome “la Sapienza”, V.le dell’Università 32, 00185 Rome, Italy. SUMMARY: Community structure and faunal composition of decapod crustaceans off the west coast of central Italy (west- ern Mediterranean) were investigated. Samples were collected during five trawl surveys carried out from June 1996 to June 2000 from 16 to 750 m depth. Multivariate analysis revealed the occurrence of five faunistic assemblages: 1) a strictly coastal community over sandy bottoms at depths <35 m; 2) a middle shelf community over sandy-muddy bottoms at depths between 50 and 100 m; 3) a slope edge community up to 200 m depth as a transition assemblage; 4) an upper slope community at depths between 200 and 450 m, and 5) a middle slope community at depths greater than 450 m. The existence of a shelf- slope edge transition is a characteristic of the western and central Mediterranean where a Leptometra phalangium facies is found in many areas at depths between 120 and 180 m. The brachyuran crab Liocarcinus depurator dominates the shallow muddy-sandy bottoms of the shelf, while Parapenaeus longirostris is the most abundant species from the shelf to the upper slope assemblage.

  • Checklists of Crustacea Decapoda from the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, with an Assessment of Macaronesian and Cape Verde Biogeographic Marine Ecoregions

GONZÁLEZ University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, i-UNAT, Campus de Tafira, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. E-mail: [email protected]. ORCID iD: 0000-0001-8584-6731. Abstract The complete list of Canarian marine decapods (last update by González & Quiles 2003, popular book) currently com- prises 374 species/subspecies, grouped in 198 genera and 82 families; whereas the Cape Verdean marine decapods (now fully listed for the first time) are represented by 343 species/subspecies with 201 genera and 80 families. Due to changing environmental conditions, in the last decades many subtropical/tropical taxa have reached the coasts of the Canary Islands. Comparing the carcinofaunal composition and their biogeographic components between the Canary and Cape Verde ar- chipelagos would aid in: validating the appropriateness in separating both archipelagos into different ecoregions (Spalding et al. 2007), and understanding faunal movements between areas of benthic habitat. The consistency of both ecoregions is here compared and validated by assembling their decapod crustacean checklists, analysing their taxa composition, gath- ering their bathymetric data, and comparing their biogeographic patterns. Four main evidences (i.e. different taxa; diver- gent taxa composition; different composition of biogeographic patterns; different endemicity rates) support that separation, especially in coastal benthic decapods; and these parametres combined would be used as a valuable tool at comparing biotas from oceanic archipelagos.

    RESEARCH ARTICLE Eur J Biol 2017; 76(1): 20-5 Decapod Crustaceans in the Marmara Island (Marmara Sea) and Ecological Characteristics of Their Habitats Begum Ayfer, Husamettin Balkis, Aysegul Mulayim* Istanbul University, Faculty of Science, Department of Biology, Istanbul, Turkey Please cite this article as: Ayfer B, Balkis H, Mulayim A. Decapod Crustaceans in the Marmara Island (Marmara Sea) and Ecological Characteristics of Their Habitats. Eur J Biol 2017; 76(1): 20-5. ABSTRACT We have performed series of analyses to identify decapod crustaceans inhabiting the littoral zone of the Marmara Island and to study specific ecological characteristics of the habitat. Samples of decapod crustaceans species were collected from 12 stations (6 onshore, 6 offshore) on May 12-17, 2008 and November 17-22, 2008. A total of 17 species and 1199 specimens of decapod crustaceans were recorded. Eigth species (A. lacazei, N. norvegicus, P. bluteli, P. longimana, P. platycheles, D. pugilator, D. personata and L. vernalis) have been reported in the littoral zone of Marmara Island for the first time in this study. Also our study also sheds light on some ecological properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen) of the habitats of the species from the littoral zone of the Marmara Island. Keywords: Ecology, decapoda, crustacea, Marmara Island, The Sea of Marmara INTRODUCTION The first study at the island was carried out by Ostrou- moff (3,4) followed by studies by Okuş (5), Yüksek (6) The Archipelago in the Sea of Marmara consisting of and Balkıs (7). small and large islands located southwest of the Sea of Marmara and the northwest of the Kapıdağ Peninsula MATERIALS AND METHODS are referred to as the Islands of Marmara.
