However, color pattern of spec- imen preserved in ethanol or diluted formalin slowly fades and is eventually lost. We re-examined previous information and chose the number of plumose setae on distal end of telson and appendix masculina as new identification characters. Number of plumose setae (average, range) was more in P. sinensis (9.0, 4-14) than in P. paucidens (A type, 2.1, 2-3; B type, 2.0, 1-3). Form and lateral setae arrangement of appendix masculina were found to be different between these two species. These characters cannot be applied to females and young males as well as individuals with a malformed telson. Combining these characteristics with those previ- ously described (the presence or absence of a subterminal tooth on the upper edge of rostrum and different eye size etc.) will enable identification ofP. paucidens and P. sinensis even in color faded state more reliable. Key words: appendix masculina; plumose setae of telson; invasive species; Palaemon miyadii; Palaemon paucidens; Palaemon sinensis.

  • A Review of Two Western Australian Shrimps of the Genus Palaemonetes
    , Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1976,4 (1) A REVIEW OF 1'WO WESTERN AUSTRALIAN SHRIMPS OF THE GENUS PALAEMONETES, P. AUSTRALIS DAKIN 1915 AND P. ATRINUBES·SP. NOV. (DECAPODA, PALAEMONIDAE) DAVID M. BRAY* [Received 6 May 1975. Accepted 1 October 1975. Published 31 August 1976.] ABSTRACT Palaemonetes atrinubes sp. novo from marine and estuarine habitats of north and west Australia is described. Palaemonetes australis Dakin from fresh­ water and estuarine habitats of south and west Australia is redescribed and data on the variation in the mandibular palp is included. The use of the mandibular palp as a single character to form generic groupings within the Palaemoninae of the world is only partially successful. The affinities of P. australis and P. atrinubes with other Australian Palaemoninae are discussed and a key to the Australian species of Palaemon and Palaemonetes is given. INTRODUCTION In his major reVISIons of the Indo-Pacific and American Palaemonidae, Holthuis (1950, 1952) regarded the mandibular palp as a character'of generic importance. After grouping species with branchiostegal spines and without supraorbital spines he classified species with mandibular palps into the genera Creasaria, Leander and Palaemon while species without mandibular palps were classified into the genera Leandrites and Palaemonetes. Despite these groupings he considered Palaemonetes to closely resemble Palaemon stating that the 'only difference of importance is that in Palaemon the mandible possesses a palp, while this palp is absent in Palaemonetes'. In the same revisions Holthuis used the number of segments in the mandibular palp as a character of subgeneric llnportance. Within the genus Palaemon he grouped species with branchio-stegal groove present, pleura of fifth abdominal segment pointed and rostrum without elevated basal crest.

Thus, the Y organ from more than lOO different species of crustaceans has been described (Gabe, 1956; Echalier, 1959). Unfortunately, however, so little has been reported of anatomi­ cal and cytological details of this organ that there has been a considerable confusion concerning its exact location and identification among the authors. Meanwhile, Le Roux (1968) discovered in the cephalothorax of a crab Carcinus maenas a pair of glandular structure which, structurally so different from the Y organ, he proposed to name "the mandibular organ".

Observations on shrimp that were collected from the Sugo River (2003 to 2011) confirmed that the host shrimp is Neocaridina spp. (Atyidae). The attachment location on the host shrimp was predominately between the 1st pleopod and the 5th pereopod (55.3%). The reproductive method of H. truncatus is hemaphroditism. The cocoon was found only inside the carapace of the host shrimp. The cocoon was transparent and contained a maximum of 14 juvenile worms (developing embryos). When hatching approached, H. truncatus’s worms became elongated and slender, and only one worm hatched out at a time. When Holtodrilus truncatus was removed from its host and was maintained in river water without any food, it survived for a maximum of 46 days. In a host exchange experiment, where we provided several other freshwater shrimp species, Palaemonidae fed on H. truncatus.

A Study of the Sex Pheromone and its Effect on Malesl ) By 1 Yujiroh Kamiguchi Zoological Institute, Hokkaido University (With 5 Figures and 2 Tables) It is well established that the courtship in many insects is initiated by sex attractant from females. Investigations have been made on the nature of such chemical communicants, and the purification, identification, and even synthesis of sex pheromones have been carried out successfully with several lepidopterans, the honey bee and cockroaches (for reference, see Highnam and Hill, 1969). Unfortunately, however, very little information is available on the sex phero­ mone in Crustacea, although its existence in some species seems most likely. Recently several authors reported the sex pheromones in decapod crustaceans, because the males displayed a sexual attraction to the premolt females of the large edible crab, Portunus sanguinolentus (Ryan, 1966), or to the newly molted females of the American lobster, Homarus americanus (McLeese, 1970; Atema and Engstrom, 1971). However, these authors have failed to show the site of origin and chemical nature of the pheromones. A female freshwater prawn, Palaemon paucidens, with a fully mature ovary performs prior to copulation and egg-laying the "parturial" molt, which accom­ panying a series of morphological changes in the abdominal region of the prawn leads to the formation of the brooding chamber (Kamiguchi, 1971).

Based on the diagnosticdistributions of some alleles at Gpi, Mpi, Mdh-J,and Mdh-2, these populationswere largelyclassified into two types(A and B). The A type occurredin lakes, ponds, and rivers,while the B type was observed only in rivers. Average Nei's genetic distance (D) between the two types fell into the subspecies range (D = 0.1 186). The coefficientof gene differentiation,GsT, varied considerablybetween the two types.In 12 populations of the A type,with a GST value of 0.281, nine pond and lake populations showed a higherGsT (0.246) than the threeriver populations (0.151). On the otherhand, GsT was 0.036 forthe eightlocal populations of the B type.The lower rostrumtooth numberhad a mode of two in typeA and threein typeB. Type-A populationslargely varied in the upperrostrum tooth numberand egg size but typeB did not. Under laboratoryconditions, mating frequently occurred withineach type,but not between types.Furthermore, no embryonicdevelopment was observed in the fewcases of intertypemating. These resultsindicate thatthe A and B typeshad experienced cladogenic separationwith pre- or postmatingisolation, whereafterthe A type,under geographic isolation,underwent genetic and phenotypicdifferentiation, while the B type,under extensive gene flow,did not undergodifferentiation.

However, because of in extracts from deep-sea jellyfishes. limited access to cnidarian samples from deep-sea envi- ronments, bioactive polypeptides have never before been Keywords Jellyfish Á Cnidarian Á Deep-sea Á Bioactivity Á reported from this group. In this study, we collected twelve Natural product Á Toxin Á Bioresource deep-sea jellyfish species (nine hydrozoans and three scyphozoans) using a plankton net that was specially designed for collecting deep-sea organisms, and prepared Introduction water-soluble extracts, presumably containing polypep- tides, of these jellyfishes. The extracts were subjected to Polypeptides produced by cnidarians can have unique cytotoxicity, hemolytic activity, and crustacean lethal structures and bioactivities.

    Crustacean Research 2018 Vol.47: 73–88 ©Carcinological Society of Japan. doi: 10.18353/crustacea.47.0_73 Tachaea chinensis (Isopoda: Corallanidae), an ectoparasite of freshwater shrimps and prawns, from western Japan, with a list of its known collection localities and hosts Kazuya Nagasawa, Tadashi Imai, Hidetoshi Saito Abstract.̶ The corallanid isopod Tachaea chinensis Thielemann, 1910 is a parasite attached on the carapace of freshwater shrimps and prawns. The isopod is reported from Palaemon paucidens De Haan, 1884 (Palaemonidae) at two localities in Kagawa Prefecture (Shikoku) and two localities in Shimane Prefecture (western Honshu), and from Neocaridina sp. (Atyidae) at one locality in Shimane Prefecture, Japan. This represents the first record of T. chinensis from Shikoku. The species is briefly described and illustrated based on non-ovigerous females. Prevalence of T. chinensis in populations of P. paucidens and Neocaridina sp. ranged from 10.7–57.1%, and the intensity of infestation was almost constantly one, which indicates its intra-specific competition on the host carapace. Palaemon paucidens is considered as a preferred host of T. chinensis in Honshu and Shikoku, Japan. Based on the literature published between 1910 and 2018 including this paper, T. chinensis has been reported from 14 nominal and some unidentified species of shrimps and prawns belonging to three atyid genera (Caridina, Neocaridina, and Paratya), two palaemonid genera (Macrobrachium and Palaemon), and one penaeid genus (Penaeus), ranging from temperate (Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu in Japan, and central-eastern China) through subtropical (Okinawa in Japan, and Hong Kong in southeastern China) to tropical (Hainan in southeastern China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia) regions in East Asia.

Box 29, 425 600, Korea (Received: April 09, 2007 ; Revised received: August 02, 2007 ; Accepted: September 15, 2007) Abstract: This study analyzed the reproduction and growth of freshwater prawn, Palaemon paucidens De Haan 1844 from Suk-dang lake( Korea). The analysis of the sex ratio showed a higher proportion of males than that of females. The average size of the eggs was 6.12 (± 0.55) mm 3 in the non-eyed stage (stage A) and 7.20(±0.86)mm 3 in the eyed stage (stage B). The reproductive output (RO) calculated with the dried-body weight of an incubating female and the weight of the eggs in dried condition was 26.97% (n = 17) of the average females weight. Incubating prawn appeared in April, and the gonadosomatic indices(GSI) showed the highest value during three months from January to March. Based on the month when there was a high proportion of incubating females with a high GSI, the estimated spawning season of P. paucidens was April.
