  • A New Species of Cyphocarcinus and a New Record of Macropodia Formosa Rathbun (Crustacea, Decapoda, Majidae) from Pakistan
    Pakistan Journal of Marine Sciences, Vol.4(1), 59-65, 1995. A NEW SPECIES OF CYPHOCARCINUS AND A NEW RECORD OF MACROPODIA FORMOSA RATHBUN (CRUSTACEA, DECAPODA, MAJIDAE) FROM PAKISTAN Quddusi B. Kazmi and Nasima M. Tirmizi Marine Reference Collection and Resource Centre, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan. ABSTRACT: The present paper includes a new species and a new record of majid crabs. The new species is referable to the genus Cyphocarcinus, subfamily Mithracinae of which only the the genus Micippa was known from the region. Macropodia fonnosa Rathbun is being recorded for the ftrst time from Karachi and belongs to the subfamily Inachinae. Both the species are described and illustrated. The new species is compared with its allied species. KEY WORDS: Majid crabs - Pakistan - new species - mithracine Cyphocarcinus - new record - inachine Macropodia fonnosa. INTRODUCTION SiXteen species of majid crabs were reported from Pakistan by Tirmizi and Kazmi (1988). As a result of the present study three more species belonging to the genera Cyphocarcinus and Macropodia are added to the majid crab fauna of Pakistan. Cyphocarcinus is being reported for the first time from Pakistan waters. Uptill now one mithracine genus Micippa was representing this subfamily from the area under study. Recently a female belonging to Cyphocarcinus was obtained and initially keyed out as C. minutus A. Milne-Edwards. A careful study revealed several differences which could only be confirmed when one slightly smaller male and one juvenile was collected. The material of Cyphocarcinus is being described here as new to science. The specimens of the inachine, Macropodia are incomplete, some essential parts are missing, they are therefore, for the time being assigned to M.

  • Seasonal Variation in Community Structure and Recruitment of Benthic Decapods in a Sub-Tidal Cobble Habitat
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 206: 181–191, 2000 Published November 3 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Seasonal variation in community structure and recruitment of benthic decapods in a sub-tidal cobble habitat Martin Robinson*, Oliver Tully Department of Zoology, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland ABSTRACT: Quantitative suction samples of benthic decapod fauna were taken in the south of Ireland during 1997. Some species settled into the area, but failed to persist to the first winter, while others were present in high numbers throughout the year. The duration of settlement was species- specific, ranging from several weeks to several months. Body size at settlement decreased with increasing temperature during larval development. Growth potential and early mortality of a number of decapod species was examined by separation of successive moult instars from length-frequency distributions. Seasonal lows in abundance and biomass of young of the year and for previously estab- lished decapod individuals were identified at the end of July and early August, which may represent the most suitable time to release juveniles for stock-enhancement purposes. Community structure differed between settlement season and over-wintering periods. Young-of-the-year community structure differed from that of previously established individuals, with higher abundance and num- ber of species recorded for the former. The data represent a baseline study of a widely distributed community and may support further work on species interactions, improving the accuracy of predic- tion of annual recruitment fluctuations.

  • Colonization Patterns of Decapods Into Artificial Collectors: Seasonality Between Habitat Patches

Navarro 2, José M. Landeira 3, and Fernando Tuya 1 1 BIOGES – Department of Biology, Marine Sciences Faculty, Campus Tafira, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain 2 Viceconsejería de Medioambiente, Gobierno de Canarias, C/Agustín Millares Carló No18, 5°, 35071, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain 3 Department of Animal Biology (Marine Science), University of La Laguna, Avenida Astrofísico Francisco Sánchez s/n, 38206, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain ABSTRACT Understanding colonization of new habitats by recruits is essential to comprehend local abundance patterns of adult populations. Colonization of benthic habitats by new colonizers is achieved through the influx of larvae from the water column and movements from adjacent habitats. Colonization, i.e., the composition and abundance of new colonizers, into a focal habitat may be affected by surrounding habitats. In this study, we investigated seasonal variation through an annual cycle in postlarval settlement patterns of decapod crustaceans colonizing artificial collectors on different habitats, in particular: Cymodocea nodosa seagrass meadows, sandy patches, ‘urchin-grazed’ barrens and macroalgal-dominated beds, which are arranged in patches within seascapes in the eastern Atlantic. Our results showed that: 1) decapods, at least some species, settle preferentially on artificial collectors deployed on vegetated substrates when compared to those deployed on unvegetated substrates; 2) despite most decapods have a planktonic larval phase with wide oceanic dispersal, the presence of crustaceans in particular habitats suggests a great specificity at their early post-larval stages; and 3) although subtropical waters of Gran Canaria have a weak seasonal variation, early postlarval stages of decapod crustaceans showed two distinct settlement periods, i.e., a ‘cold’ and a ‘warm’ season.

  • Larval Growth
    LARVAL GROWTH Edited by ADRIAN M.WENNER University of California, Santa Barbara OFFPRINT A.A.BALKEMA/ROTTERDAM/BOSTON DARRYL L.FELDER* / JOEL W.MARTIN** / JOSEPH W.GOY* * Department of Biology, University of Louisiana, Lafayette, USA ** Department of Biological Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, USA PATTERNS IN EARLY POSTLARVAL DEVELOPMENT OF DECAPODS ABSTRACT Early postlarval stages may differ from larval and adult phases of the life cycle in such characteristics as body size, morphology, molting frequency, growth rate, nutrient require­ ments, behavior, and habitat. Primarily by way of recent studies, information on these quaUties in early postlarvae has begun to accrue, information which has not been previously summarized. The change in form (metamorphosis) that occurs between larval and postlarval life is pronounced in some decapod groups but subtle in others. However, in almost all the Deca- poda, some ontogenetic changes in locomotion, feeding, and habitat coincide with meta­ morphosis and early postlarval growth. The postmetamorphic (first postlarval) stage, here­ in termed the decapodid, is often a particularly modified transitional stage; terms such as glaucothoe, puerulus, and megalopa have been applied to it. The postlarval stages that fol­ low the decapodid successively approach more closely the adult form. Morphogenesis of skeletal and other superficial features is particularly apparent at each molt, but histogenesis and organogenesis in early postlarvae is appreciable within intermolt periods. Except for the development of primary and secondary sexual organs, postmetamorphic change in internal anatomy is most pronounced in the first several postlarval instars, with the degree of anatomical reorganization and development decreasing in each of the later juvenile molts.

For each trawling location, environmental and geographical pa- rameters were recorded, while biomass, abundance, biodiversity and size-based metrics were estimated for the total megafaunal community, as well as for four taxonomic sub-communities (Osteichthyes, Chondrichthyes, Crustacea and Cephalopoda) which were expected to respond differently to environmental changes and fishing. In addition, biomass and abundance of ten species selected based on commercial interest, depth range and life history traits were explored, with particular emphasis on deep-sea species. Fishing effort data collected during the study period were analysed and showed a decreasing trend, mainly due to a decrease in the activity of static nets. The relation between the estimated parameters and environmental and spatial factors, as well as temporal (interannual) effects and the effect of fishing effort were explored using generalized additive models (GAMs).
