Wang Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Biodiversity & Biotechnology and Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Aquatic Crustacean Diseases, College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210046, China article info abstract Keywords: Bacterial diseases of crabs are manifested as bacteremias caused by organisms such as Vibrio, Aeromo- Bacteria nas, and a Rhodobacteriales-like organism or tissue and organ tropic organisms such as chitinoclastic Disease bacteria, Rickettsia intracellular organisms, Chlamydia-like organism, and Spiroplasma. This paper pro- Crab vides general information about bacterial diseases of both marine and freshwater crabs. Some bacteria pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio vulnificus occur commonly in blue crab haemolymph and should be paid much attention to because they may represent potential health hazards to human beings because they can cause serious diseases when the crab is consumed as raw sea food. With the development of aquaculture, new diseases associated with novel pathogens such as spiroplasmas and Rhodobacteriales-like organisms have appeared in commercially exploited crab species in recent years. Many potential approaches to control bacterial diseases of crab will be helpful and practicable in aquaculture. Ó 2010 Published by Elsevier Inc. Contents 1.

F. Davie Queensland Museum, PO Box 3300, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. – An annotated checklist of the extant brachyuran crabs of the world is presented for the first time. Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

    THE ESD ASSESSMENT MANUAL FOR WILD CAPTURE FISHERIES Version 1 October 2003 FRDC Project 2002/086 This ‘ESD Assessment Manual’ is part of an on-going process to develop a framework for the reporting and assessment of ESD for fisheries within Australia. This edition is the first version, changes are expected to be made at regular intervals when further information indicates that significant improvements can be made. The material may be copied for use in completing assessments and reports as long as appropriate acknowledgement of the source is given.

The keys cover 127 taxa, most of them identi¢ed to genus and species level. These keys were mainly constructed upon external morphological characters, which are easy to observe under a stereo- microscope. Moreover, the presentation of detailed ¢gures allows a non-specialist to make identi¢cations more easily. INTRODUCTION nearby areas as a complement document when identifying larval stages.
