Although common along the Brazilian coast, the new records of the crabs A. Milne-Edwards, (A. Milne-Edwards, 1861) and (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867) (Decapoda, Brachyura, Portunidae) reflect the poor knowledge about crustacean fauna in the state of Sergipe, and reinforce the need for systematic surveys to better understand the local biodiversity. Callinectes bocourti Portunid crabs are characterized by the flattening A.

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.

Species composition, abundance and distribution patterns of the family Portunidae in the Curuçá estuary in the northeastern portion of the state of Pará (northern Brazil) were studied bimonthly from July 2003 to July 2004. Samples were taken with a wing trawl net during the day at ebb tide during last quarter moon. A total of 427 individuals were collected, comprising three species: Callinectes bocourti, Callinectes danae and Callinectes ornatus. C. danae was the dominant species (56%). C. bocourti demonstrated a preference for the rainy season and C. ornatus preferred the dry season. C. danae was present in both seasons. The results indicate that variation in salinity and pH related to season (dry and rainy) are considered determinant factors for the distribution of C. bocourti and C. ornatus.

  • THE SWIMMING CRABS of the GENUS CALLINECTES (DECAPODA: PORTUNIDAE) L! •• ' ' ' •'
    A-G>. \KJ>\\if THE SWIMMING CRABS OF THE GENUS CALLINECTES (DECAPODA: PORTUNIDAE) l! •• ' ' ' •' AUSTIN B. WILLIAMS1 F: * * ABSTRACT The genus Callinectes and its 14 species are reevaluated. Keys to identification, descriptions of species, ranges of variation for selected characters, larval distribution, and the fossil record as well as problems in identification are discussed. Confined almost exclusively to shallow coastal waters, the genus has apparently radiated both northward and southward from a center in the Atlantic Neotropical coastal region as well as into the eastern tropical Pacific through continuous connections prior to elevation of the Panamanian isthmus in the Pliocene epoch and along tropical West Africa. Eleven species occur in the Atlantic, three in the Pacific. Callinectes marginatus spans the eastern and western tropical Atlantic. Callinectes sapidus, with the broadest latitudinal distribution among all the species (Nova Scotia to Argentina), has also been introduced in Europe. All species show close similarity and great individual variation. Both migration and genetic continuity appear to be assisted by transport of larvae in currents. Distributional patterns parallel those of many organisms, especially members of the decapod crustacean genus Penaeus which occupy similar habitats. The blue crab, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, a sta- we have in England." A similar record is ple commodity in fisheries of eastern and southern Marcgrave's account in 1648 (Lemos de Castro, United States, is almost a commonplace object of 1962) of a South American Callinectes [= danae fisheries and marine biological research, but its Smith (1869)], one of the common portunids used taxonomic status has been questionable for a long for food.

Além do fato das espécies de maior tamanho e mais abundantes serem usualmente utilizadas como alimento pelo homem, existe uma grande variedade de pequenas espécies que contribuem para o tamanho, complexidade e funcionamento dos ecossistemas tropicais (Hendrickx 1995). MELO (1996) registrou a presença de seis espécies do gênero Callinectes Stimpson,1860 para o litoral brasileiro: C. bocourti A. Milne Edwards, 1879, C. danae Smith, 1869, C. exasperatus (Gerstaecker, 1856), C. larvatus Ordway, 1863, C. ornatus Ordway, 1863 e C. sapidus Rathbun, 1896; as quais têm ampla distribuição no Atlântico Ocidental, desde a América do Norte até o Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Almeida et al (2006) citam que alguns Estados no Nordeste do Brasil apresentam a fauna de crustáceos decápodos estuarina bem conhecida, com destaque para Pernambuco e Alagoas, enquanto que no Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará e Bahia, o conhecimento sobre a composição da carcinofauna estuarina é incipiente.

  • (Linnaeus) and Its Parasite Sacculina Carcini Thompson in Burma, with Notes on the Transport of Crabs to New Localities
    ON THE OCCURRENCE OF CARCINUS MAENAS (LINNAEUS) AND ITS PARASITE SACCULINA CARCINI THOMPSON IN BURMA, WITH NOTES ON THE TRANSPORT OF CRABS TO NEW LOCALITIES by H. BOSGHMA Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden From time to time crabs have been found in localities at great distances from their normal area of distribution, owing to their being transported by ships in ballast water tanks or on the hulls. Much attention has been paid to a report by Catta (1876), who examined the Crustacea taken from the hull of a ship that had made the voyage from India to Marseilles. Among these, four species of crabs of the family Grapsidae were represented, one of which, named by him Plagusia squamosa, being present in hundreds of specimens. Catta saw here the possibility of an extension of the area of distribution of the crab, but apparently the conditions of life were not favourable in the new locality, and the crab did not become established here. Stebbing (1893: 99) remarks that the correct name of the crab referred to above is Plagusia depressa (Fabricius) and adds that "The point of special interest, however, lies, as Catta explains, in showing the effects on distribution that may be produced by unconscious human agency." The data mentioned above were recorded again by Chilton (1911). According to Bennett (1964: 87) lists as given by Stebbing and Chilton of species transported on the hulls of ships are not lists of accidental acclimatisations, for it does not follow that the crabs could establish themselves in their new homes. Another case of unsuccessful transport of a crab to a new locality is the record of great numbers of Pilumnus spinifer H.

Sua interpretação leva a compreender como as sociedades humanas nomeiam e ordenam os elementos de seu ambiente. O presente estudo teve por objetivo registrar a classificação etnobiológica de crustáceos braquiúros de importância econômica no município de Conde, Litoral Norte da Bahia, Nordeste do Brasil. O trabalho de campo foi realizado no período de setembro de 2007 a dezembro de 2009, mediante o uso de técnicas etnográficas usuais, como entrevistas abertas e semiestruturadas, bem como observações comportamentais. Foram entrevistados, individual ou coletivamente em variados contextos, pescadores artesanais (n = 57), de ambos os gêneros, com idades entre 10 e 78 anos, acerca dos nomes populares e dos principais critérios adotados na identificação etnotaxonômica dos braquiúros de importância econômica na região. Foram visitadas sete comunidades pesqueiras: Siribinha, Sítio do Conde, Poças, Ilha das Ostras, Cobó, Buri e Sempre Viva. Os dados referentes à etnotaxonomia dos crustáceos foram analisados segundo os Princípios de Classificação Etnobiológica de Brent Berlin. Os resultados mostram que braquiúros de importância econômica são classificados na Forma de Vida Marisco.

    •59 Decapoda (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico, with Comments on the Amphionidacea Darryl L. Felder, Fernando Álvarez, Joseph W. Goy, and Rafael Lemaitre The decapod crustaceans are primarily marine in terms of abundance and diversity, although they include a variety of well- known freshwater and even some semiterrestrial forms. Some species move between marine and freshwater environments, and large populations thrive in oligohaline estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico (GMx). Yet the group also ranges in abundance onto continental shelves, slopes, and even the deepest basin floors in this and other ocean envi- ronments. Especially diverse are the decapod crustacean assemblages of tropical shallow waters, including those of seagrass beds, shell or rubble substrates, and hard sub- strates such as coral reefs. They may live burrowed within varied substrates, wander over the surfaces, or live in some Decapoda. After Faxon 1895. special association with diverse bottom features and host biota.

    SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATION IN DIET AND PREY PREFERENCE OF NURSERY-BOUND JUVENILE LEMON SHARKS (Negapri011 brevirostris) AT BIMINI, BAHAMAS.

Juvenile lemon sharks spend their first few years of life within protected nursery grounds, enabling the first quantification of prey selection due to the restricted area that they inhabit. Growth and survival of juvenile lemon sharks strongly influences adult fitness and recruitment, and therefore prey selection may play an important role in the life history of lemon sharks. The selection of a preferred species or size of prey by juvenile lemon sharks was determined by comparing the proportions of prey in the diet with proportions of prey in the environment at Bimini, Bahamas, between March 2000 and March 2003. The diet of lemon sharks was quantitatively described from the analysis of 642 shark stomachs (54.7 ± 0.3 cm precaudal length PCL, mean ± S.E., range 43.5 to 90.0 cm), of which 396 (62 %) contained food items.
