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.

Corresponding mail address: [email protected], fax: 915645078 Running tittle: Phylogeography of two crab-associated Dorvilleidae Abstract Two symbiotic polychaetes living in brachyuran crabs in the western Mediterranean and nearby Atlantic were analysed to determine their phylogeographical patterns and the possible effects of known oceanographic barriers in the study area. The analysed species live in hosts inhabiting well-differentiated depths, a factor which may be crucial for understanding the different patterns observed in each species. Iphitime cuenoti was found in four different host crabs between 100 and 600 m depth and showed some level of genetic homogeneity, reflected in a star-like haplotype network. Furthermore, barrier effects were not observed. In contrast, Ophryotrocha mediterranea was exclusively found in a single host crab species living between 600 and 1200 m depth. -

Meat Yield of the Deep-Sea Crab, Chaceon Affinis, from an Exploratory Fishery Off Madeira Island (Portugal - Eastern Central Atlantic)

The apparent abundance of this alternative fishing resource and the short distance to the fishing grounds suggested the possibility of implementing a local small-scale fishery targeted to this deep-sea crab species. The main purpose of the present study was to quantify the meat yield of Chaceon affinis specimens caught in this exploratory fishery. A total of 40 crabs were separated into three different parts: legs, chelae and whole carapace (cephalothorax). The relationships between meat yields (% fresh weight) of legs and chelae and several morphometric parameters of the specimens (total, carapace, legs and chelae weightings and measurements) were determined by means of linear regression analysis (on original data). -
Developing Stock Assessment Methods for the New England Deep Sea Red Crab Fishery
Final Report Submitted to the NORTHEAST CONSORTIUM DEVELOPING STOCK ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR THE NEW ENGLAND DEEP SEA RED CRAB FISHERY Award #04-815 and EVALUATING BEAM TRAWLS IN STOCK ASSESSMENT OF THE NEW ENGLAND DEEP SEA RED CRAB FISHERY (Project Development Award) Award #PD PUZE043 Final Report Activities from June 1, 2002-May 31, 2006 Submitted December 11, 2006 Project Leader : Richard A. Wahle Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences PO Box 475, McKown Pt Road West Boothbay Harbor, ME 04575 Phone: 207 633 9659 Fax: 207 633 9661 E-Mail: [email protected] Signature Abstract This final report summarizes the results of our main 3-year red crab project as well as a supplemental development project with an additional objective. The objectives of the main project were to: (1) Employ camera-based and net-trawl sampling methodology established by an earlier NMFS red crab surveys (Wigley et al. 1975) to determine whether abundance, size structure, and sex composition of the population has changed significantly at the same sites sampled in 1974, (2) Conduct sea sampling to better characterize the commercial catch, (3) Conduct tagging to obtain much needed information on red crab growth rates and movement, and (4) Develop three stock assessment modeling approaches of different complexities (size- structured yield-per-recruit model, production model, and size-structured simulation model) to evaluate the dynamics of the red crab stock, estimate current status of the fishery, and evaluate alternative management strategies. The supplemental project compared the efficacy of otter-trawl to net trawl in this application. The benthic sled system for camera surveys combined with net trawl collection generated the first population density estimates and demographic data of red crab in 30 years. -

During the last four decades the present writer has made numerous trips in the waters round Iceland on board Danish Research Steamers (the "Thor" and the "Dana"), in a Scottish Research Steamer (the "Explorer"), in an Icelandic patrol vessel (the "i>6r", formerly the above mentioned "Thor") and in Icelandic commercial trawlers (the "Brimsnes", the "Coot" and the "Skallagrimur"). Furthermore he has made two trips on his own account in motorboats in the fjords of the NW- and W-coast of the island and visited many fishing places round the coasts. On all these trips, which have been made for ichthyo-bio- logical purposes1) he has in the course of the years col lected a good many crustacenas, mostly of the division Thoracostraca, and often had the opportunity of making some biological observations concerning several of these animals. The collections thus made by the writer have sucessively been stored up in the little Museum of the Nat. hist. So ciety of Iceland, where also some elder material, collected by masters of fishing smacks from Reykjavik, is still to be found. AH this material, save for the Amphipoda, has been worked up and named by the writer, but hitherto nothing has been published about it, except in a popular form, in an Icelandic periodical.2) Now I see no reason for keeping the data regarding the naming, occurrence and biology of the animals in question 1) Cfr Synopsis of the Pishes of Iceland. -

About 80% of Class Pycnogonida all described species of animal life are arthropods — jointed-limb animals. On land, they are best These slender creatures are all legs, with a short, represented by insects, arachnids (spiders, mites, thin body. Most have 8 legs; deep-sea species have and their relatives), myriapods (centipedes and 10 (one New Zealand species) or 12 legs. There millipedes), and some crustacean groups (woodlice are 83 species in the EEZ, associated with hydroids, and soil hoppers). In the sea, the subphylum sea anemones, or bryozoans, from which they suck Crustacea dominates, both on the seafloor and in body fluids using a tube-like proboscis. the plankton. Marine insects are found intertidally and in shallow coastal waters but not in the deep sea. Sea spiders (Pycnogonida) are an ancient group of marine creatures that are not closely related to true spiders. Pycnogonids range from the intertidal to the deep sea. The basic body plan of head, thorax, and abdomen is obvious in creatures like prawns and mantis shrimps. Most body segments have jointed limbs. These are primitively forked in many crustaceans but some limbs are simple (like the walking legs of crabs). Marine crustaceans vary enormously in size from microscopic parasites a tenth of a millimeter in size to giant crabs, lobsters, and sea lice (isopods) up to half a metre in length or breadth and weighing up to 20 kilograms, and the body regions can be highly modified.
