Rosaria Rios Furia1 Maria do Carmo Ferrão Santos2 Emanuel Roberto de Oliveira Botelho2 Carmen Giselle Martins da Silva 1 Lúcia Almeida1 RESUMO No período de janeiro de 2003 a dezembro de 2004, foram amostrados 2.182 siris da espécie Callinectes danae, capturados em manguezais do município de Caravelas (Bahia), sendo 70,7% composto por machos. A média de comprimento do cefalotórax foi de 92,0mm e de 81,4mm, para machos e fêmeas, respectivamente. Das fêmeas amostradas, 21,0% foi de espécimes jovens. O recrutamento dos machos foi registrado em dois períodos, nos meses de fevereiro a abril e de setembro a outubro. Para as fêmeas, o recrutamento ocorreu nos bimestres de fevereiro/março e setembro/outubro e no mês de dezembro. O valor médio da largura do cefalotórax em que 50,0% das fêmeas do siri C. danae, atingem a primeira maturação gonadal foi estimado em 70,0 mm.

ABSTRACT Fisheries biology of the blue crab, Callinectes danae Smith, 1869 (CRUSTACEA, PORTUNIDAE), in mangrove forests of Caravelas county (Bahia - Brazil) In the period from January, 2003 to December, 2004, a total of 2,182 specimens of the blue crab Callinectes danae, were sampled in mangrove forests of Caravelas county, Bahia State, 70.7% of which were composed by males. The mean carapace length of males and females was estimated as 92.0mm and 81.4mm, respectively. From the sampled females, 21.0% of the specimens were found to be young. The recruitment of males was more intensive in the months from February to April, and in September and October; as for females, it occurred mainly in February, March, September, October and December. The mean carapace width of C. danae at which 50% of the females reach their first sexual maturity was estimated as 70.0 mm.

Although much has been reported about the biology of selected species, taxonomic identification of several species is problematic on the basis of strictly adult morphology. Relationships among species of the genus are also poorly understood, and systematic review of the group is long overdue. Prior to the present study, there had been no comprehensive attempt to resolve taxonomic questions or determine evolutionary relationships within this genus on the basis of molecular genetics. Phylogenetic relationships among 14 putative species of Portunus from the Gulf of Mexico and other waters of the western Atlantic were examined using 16S sequences of the rRNA gene. The result- ant molecularly based phylogeny disagrees in several respects with current morphologically based classification of Portunus from this geographical region. Of the 14 species generally recognized, only 12 appear to be valid.

Morphometric variables were width of the cephalothorax (WC), width of the fifth abdominal segment (W5), and the length of the largest chela (LC). The response variable was WC, while all the others were considered as explanatory variables. Mature males presented largest WC and longest LC. The lowest W5 values were recorded for juvenile males, and the highest values were recorded for mature females. Coefficients of main effects and of interactions between sex and maturity, maturity and LC, and W5 and LC, were all significantly different from zero. Overall correlations between WC and the covariates were positive, specially between WC and LC. Sexual dimorphism concerning reproductive development of C. danae includes differences in body size, abdomen shape, and the length of the chelae.

THE VIEWS AND CONCLUSIONS EXPRESSED HEREIN ARE THOSE OF THE AUTHOR(S) AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to summarize the ecological attributes of the blue crab as manifested on, or relevant to the Texas coast, and specifically to San Antonio Bay. A literature survey of the biology and life stages of the blue crab is presented, with particular emphasis upon the Texas environment. Catch data from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Coastal Fisheries monitoring program is analyzed for San Antonio Bay. The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun) is a ubiquitous crustacean in San Antonio Bay, and on the Texas coast. It is ecologically important as both prey and predator, and is an important fishery resource for humans. The crab migrates between sea and estuary as part of its life cycle, the estuary serving as a nursery for the young.

    REPRODUCTIVE ECOLOGY OF THE BLUE CRAB, Callinectes danae SMITH, 1869 IN THE CONCEIÇÃO LAGOON SYSTEM, SANTA CATARINA ISLE, BRAZIL. Joaquim Olinto Branco1; Setuko Masunari 2 1 Faculdade de Ciências do Mar, CTTMar – UNIVALI, C.P. 360, CEP:88302-202, Itajaí, SC, Brasil. 2 Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, C.P. 19020, CEP 81531-990, Curitiba, PR, Brazil. ABSTRACT Abundance of ovigerous females, size of the first gonadal maturation and the possible migration, route of the blue crab Callinectes danae from the Conceição Lagoon system, Santa Catarina Isle, Brazil, are described. This lagoon is connected with the coastal area through a canal. A total of 1.124 crabs was caught during a 19 month sampling period. The reproduction and recruitment of juveniles occurred all year- round, with two peaks of abundance (February and September), correlated with the presence of ovigerous females (June and January). The mean carapace width at which the crabs attained gonadal maturity for the first time was 9.4 cm in males and 8.4 cm in females. The Conceição Lagoon is a growth, reproduction, and spawning area for the species. However, egg eclosion occurs outside the lagoon following migration of ovigerous females to the open sea. After hatching the eggs, some females return to the lagoon, but males stay there for most of their life cycle. Key words: Callinectes danae, reproductive ecology, Portunidae. RESUMO Neste trabalho são analisados a abundância de fêmeas ovígeras, o tamanho de primeira maturação gonadal e a possível rota de migração do siri azul Callinectes danae na Lagoa da Conceição, Ilha de Santa Catarina, Brasil.

The zoeae of Austinixa species can be distinguished from other 26 pinnotherids and especially from zoeae of the closely related species of Pinnixa by the 27 telson structure. 28 29 Keywords Crustacea, Decapoda, Larval development, Southern Atlantic, Zoea 30 31 Introduction 32 In recent decades, a combination of different tools has helped to elucidate life histories, 33 taxonomy and systematics of decapod crustaceans. One of these tools is the morphological 34 characterization of larvae. Larvae are recognized as a significant source of independent 35 information for phylogenetic analyses.

  • Callinectes Sapidus (Blue Crab) Guide
    Callinectes sapidus (blue crab) Guide Look in Maynard & Dando (1974) for anatomy. Use C. borealis saline for recordings. Callinectes sapidus Intracellular Traces 004_102 LP lvn gpn vlvn PD lvn gpn vlvn Blue Crabs of the South Atlantic Bight Native and Occasional species of Callinectes (or, when isn’t a blue crab a blue crab?) Classification. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Subphylum: Crustacea Class: Malacostraca Subclass: Eumalacostraca Superorder: Eucarida Order: Decapoda Suborder: Pleocyemata Infraorder: Brachyura Superfamily: Portunoidea Family: Portunidae Genus: Callinectes Common name: Blue crab Physical characteristics: Callinectes species, like most portunids, have a pair of flat, oar shaped rear legs (pereopods) called swimmerets. Members of the genus have a flat broad carapace with a series of distinct lateral teeth along each frontal margin between the eyes and the large terminal spines at the widest part of the carapace. There are also 4-6 “frontal teeth” between the eyes; the number, shape, and relative length of these teeth are useful in distinguishing the different species. Often the crabs are olive green on the back of the carapace and white on the belly, with blue or red areas coloring parts of the forelimbs (chelipeds). Additional colors and pigment patterns can produce variations that are characteristic of different species (see below). Common local species: Callinectes sapidus, C. similis, C. ornatus (C. ornatus found mainly offshore) Occasionally occurring species: C. exasperatus, C. bocourti, C. larvatus Callinectes sapidus Callinectes sapidus, blue coloration caused by abnormal pigmentation Callinectes ornatus Callinectes ornatus, male (top) and immature female (bottom) Callinectes similis (immature) Callinectes bocourti Callinectes exasperatus Callinectes larvatus Diagnostic characteristic of species: In male crabs, the shape of the male gonopods (a pair of abdominal appendages that are modified for mating), may be viewed by lifting the abdomen from the underside of the crab.
