  • 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.

    We are pleased and honored to welcome at the Paléospace Museum of Villers-sur-Mer the “6th Symposium on Mesozoic and Cenozoic Decapod Crustaceans”. Villers-sur-Mer is a place universally known by specialists and amateurs of palaeontology due to its famous Vaches Noires cliffs. Villers-sur-Mer has also the distinction of being the only French seaside resort located on the Greenwich Meridian line. The Paléospace is a Museum funded in 2011 with the label Musée de France. Three main animations linked to the Time are presented: palaeontology, astronomy and nature with the neighbouring marsh. The museum is in a constant evolution. For instance, an exhibition specially dedicated to dinosaurs was opened two years ago and a planetarium will open next summer. Every year a very high quality temporary exhibition takes place during the summer period with very numerous animations during all the year. The Paléospace does not stop progressing in term of visitors (56 868 in 2015) and its notoriety is universally recognized both by the other museums as by the scientific community. We are very proud of these unexpected results. We thank the dynamism and the professionalism of the Paléospace team which is at the origin of this very great success. We wish you a very good stay at Villers-sur-Mer, a beautiful visit of the Paléospace and especially an excellent congress. Jean-Paul Durand, Mayor and President of Paléospace MOT DU MAIRE DE VILLERS-SUR-MER Nous sommes très heureux et très honorés d’accueillir à Villers-sur-Mer, le « 6e Symposium on Mesozoic and Cenozoic Decapod Crustaceans » dans le cadre du Paléospace.

  • 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.

  • Archaeosculda Phoenicia N. Gen., N. Sp. (Crustacea, Stomatopoda, Pseudosculdidae) from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Lebanon
    Atti Soc. it. Sci. nat. Museo civ. Stor. nat. Milano, 148 (I): 3-15, Gennaio 2007 Shane T. Ahyong*, Alessandro Garassino** & Barbara Gironi** Archaeosculda phoenicia n. gen., n. sp. (Crustacea, Stomatopoda, Pseudosculdidae) from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) of Lebanon Abstract - The second species and genus of Pseudosculdidae is described from the Cenomanian of Lebanon. Archaeosculda phoenicia n. gen., n. sp. resembles Pseudosculda laevis in the subcylin- drical body form and raptorial claw, but differs chiefly in the broad and subovate rather than elongate, triangular telson, presence of prominent instead of indistinct primary teeth lateral to the primary sub- median teeth, and the broad instead of slender uropodal endopod. In addition, at about 75 mm in length, Archaeosculda phoenicia attains a considerably larger size than Pseudosculda laevis, which is known to reach 55 mm in length. The status of Pseudosculdidae is discussed and a list of the known fossil unipeltatans is given. Key words: Crustacea, Stomatopoda, Pseudosculdidae, Upper Cretaceous, Lebanon. Riassunto - Archaeosculda phoenicia n. gen., n. sp. (Crustacea, Stomatopoda, Pseudosculdidae) del Cretacico superiore (Cenomaniano) del Libano.

Archaeosculda phoenicia n. gen., n. sp. ricorda Pseudosculda laevis nella forma subcilindrica del corpo e del chelipede, ma si differenzia soprattutto per il telson triangolare, ampio e subovale piuttosto che allungato, per i denti primari e submediani ben sviluppati piuttosto che indistin- ti e per l’endopodite degli uropodi ampio piuttosto che sottile. Inoltre, Archaeosculda phoenicia n. gen., n. sp. con una lunghezza totale pari a 75 mm raggiunge una considerevole dimensione rispetto a Pseudosculda laevis che non supera una lunghezza complessiva di 55 mm.

  • Determining Optimal Temperature and Salinity of Lucifer (Dendrobranchiata: Sergestoidea: Luciferidae) Based on field Data from the East China Sea
    Plankton Benthos Res 5(4): 136–143, 2010 Plankton & Benthos Research © The Plankton Society of Japan Determining optimal temperature and salinity of Lucifer (Dendrobranchiata: Sergestoidea: Luciferidae) based on field data from the East China Sea ZHAO L. XU* East China Sea Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fisheries Sciences, 300 Jungong Road, Shanghai 200090, P. R. China Received 26 December 2007; Accepted 26 August 2010 Abstract: Distribution patterns and abundance of the epiplanktonic shrimp Lucifer were examined in the East China Sea (23°30Ј–33°N, 118°30Ј–128°E), in relation to temperature and salinity. A total of 443 samples were collected from four seasonal surveys conducted between 1997 and 2000. The yield density model was used to predict optimal tempera- ture (OT) and optimal salinity (OS) of four Lucifer species: Lucifer typus, L. hanseni, L. intermedius and L. penicillifer. Thereafter, their distribution patterns were determined. The results indicated that these species are the most abundant in summer. Lucifer typus, with OT of 28.0°C and OS of 33.8, is considered to be an oceanic tropic water species. The species is mainly found in the northern waters off Taiwan in summer and autumn. Lucifer hanseni, L. intermedius and L. penicillifer, with OTs of 26.4, 28.0, 27.4°C and OSs of 33.6, 33.4, 33.2, are off-shore subtropical water species. They are mainly distributed in the south off-shore the East China Sea and north of Taiwan. Key words: East China Sea, Lucifer, optimal salinity, optimal temperature, zooplankton tonic and are important in the diet of some fishes (e.g.

  • Abundance and Diversity of Decapod Crustaceans in the Deep-Catalan Sea (Western Mediterranean)
    JOURNAL OF NATURAL HISTORY, 1992, 26, 1305-1323 Abundance and diversity of decapod crustaceans in the deep-Catalan Sea (Western Mediterranean) J. E. CARTES and F. SARDA Institut de Ciencies del Mar, Passeig National s/n, 08039 Barcelona, Spain (Accepted 7 August 1992) The deep-slope decapod fauna of the Catalan Sea was extensively sampled with an OTSB-14 bottom trawl. A total of 67 bottom tows were taken from 1985 to 1989 at bottom depths ranging from 552 to 2261 m. Species in which abundance decreased with depth were Plesionika acanthonotus, Polycheles typhlops, Calocaris macandreae and Geryon longipes. Highest densities of Acanthephyra eximia, Stereomastis sculpta, and Nematocarcinus exilis were attained at the great­ est depths studied. Total abundance, biomass and species richness for decapod crustaceans as a whole decreased with depth. Maximum decapod biomass and diversity occurred on the upper-middle slope on soft bottoms in the .Catalan Sea and in all regions for which data were available. In the Catalan Sea, an oligotrophic area, the abundance of decapods as a group seemed to be higher than in north- Atlantic eutrophic regions. In these latter areas, other deep-sea benthic invertebrate groups, particularly ophiuroids, predominate. KEYWORDS: Decapod crustaceans, Mediterranean, abundance, biomass, diversity. Introduction The deep-sea decapod crustacean fauna in the Mediterranean has been only quali­ tatively studied (Carpine, 1970a; Reyss, 1971; Fredj and Laubier, 1985; Peres, 1985; Abello and Valladares, 1988; Cartes, 1992 and references cited). Data on abundance, biomass and on the dominant species along the deep slope are particularly scarce. The structure of bathyal decapod crustacean populations on the upper slope in the northwestern Mediterranean is relatively well known (Zariquiey Alvarez, 1968; Sarda and Palomera, 1981; Abello et al., 1988) down to a depth of 800 m, with data on species abundance and biomass also available.
