Recent records of lithodid crabs in deeper waters off the Antarctic continental slope raised the question of the return of crabs to Antarctic waters, following their extinction in the lower Miocene ;15 million years ago. Antarctic cooling may be responsible for the impoverishment of the marine high Antarctic decapod fauna, presently comprising only ®ve benthic shrimp species. Effects of polar conditions on marine life, including lowered metabolic rates and short seasonal food availability, are discussed as main evolutionary driving forces shaping Antarctic diversity. In particular, planktotrophic larval stages should be vulnerable to the mismatch of prolonged development and short periods of food avail- ability, selecting against complex life cycles. We hypothesize that larval lecithotrophy and cold tolerance, as recently observed in Subantarctic lithodids, represent, together with other adaptations in the adults, key features among the life-history adaptations of lithodids, potentially enabling them to conquer polar ecosystems. The return of benthic top predators to high Antarctic waters under conditions of climate change would considerably alter the benthic communities. -
Introduction Porcupine Crab (Neolithodes Grimaldii)
Introduction as the king crab family of which 79 species have been identified throughout the oceans of the world. Male Porcupine Crab (Neolithodes grimaldii) specimens have been measured with a carapace length inhabits the sea bed off the Coast of Newfoundland (CL) of 180 mm and weighing 2.28 kg. Females of the and Labrador in depths beyond 500 fathoms (fm). species do not grow quite as large but carapace lengths This large crab is often caught as a by-catch in the up to 160 mm have been recorded. turbot gillnet fishery. Preliminary experiments with processing limited amounts have shown that marketable crab meat products can be produced from porcupine crab. Attempts have been made to increase the volume of raw material for processing by utilizing the by-catch, either by sectioning the crab onboard the vessel or landing whole crab, iced in boxes. This approach has not proven effective mainly because the crab has to be removed from gillnets which is extremely time consuming, especially when large quantities are involved. Also, fishermen try to avoid porcupine crab as turbot is their main species. It is generally accepted that if the fishery is to develop a method of potting the crab has to be devised. To date this has not been accomplished in spite of two The crab has three pairs of walking legs and separate projects in which various pot designs and bait one pair of claws. The right claw is larger than the left types were set in locations where porcupine crab had and is probably used for crushing while the smaller left been caught in turbot nets. -

In this study, the microstructure, components, and mechanical properties of the dactylopodites of the Chinese mitten crab were investigated. Images from a scanning electron microscope show that the dactylopodites’ exoskeleton was multilayered, with an epicuticle, exocuticle, and endocuticle. Cross sections and longitudinal sections of the endocuticle revealed a Bouligand structure, which contributes to the dactylopodites’ mechanical properties. The main organic constituents of the exoskeleton were chitin and protein, and the major inorganic compound was CaCO3, crystallized as calcite. Dry and wet dactylopodites were brittle and ductile, respectively, characteristics that are closely related to their mechanical structure and composition. The findings of this study can be a reference for the bionic design of strong and durable structural materials. Keywords: dactylopodite; microstructure; composition; mechanical properties 1. Introduction After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the functional properties of parts of organisms tend to have optimal structural and material characteristics, as well as excellent adaptability and longevity [1,2]. -

How to Become a Crab: Phenotypic Constraints on a Recurring Body Plan

For over 140 years, convergent evolution of the crab-like body plan (with a wide and flattened shape, and a bent abdomen) at least five times in decapod crustaceans has been known as ‘carcinization’. The repeated loss of this body plan has been identified as ‘decarcinization’. We offer phylogenetic strategies to include poorly known groups, and direct evidence from fossils, that will resolve the pattern of crab evolution and the degree of phenotypic variation within crabs. Proposed ecological advantages of the crab body are summarized into a hypothesis of phenotypic integration suggesting correlated evolution of the carapace shape and abdomen. Our premise provides fertile ground for future studies of the genomic and developmental basis, and the predictability, of the crab-like body form.
