Retailers were divided in two categories: large scale and medium scale. The two groups were compared to screen for differences and to assess differences in score distribution attributed to different practices related to product quality. Our results showed no statistical differences (p > 0.05) between the two categories. Lobsters were often marketed alive on ice and/or stocked for long periods in supermarket aquariums, highlighting the need to improve the specific European regulations on health, welfare, and quality at the market stage. Retail shop managers should be encouraged to develop better practices and policies in terms of marketing of lobsters. This will help in keeping the animals in good health and improve product quality at the marketing stages. Keywords: crustaceans; supermarkets; aquarium; ice 1. Introduction In the last decades, the global total consumption of seafood products has increased: this has resulted in a rapidly growing demand for these products, especially in emerging markets [1].

Potential vectors and sources of this recent invader include: 1) discharged ballast water from its native range in Asia or other areas where it has become established; 2) transport of larvae from established non-native populations in the Caribbean or South America via ocean currents; or 3) escape and subsequent migration from active aquaculture facilities in the western Atlantic.

A table of aggression intensity was Experience established, ranging from 1 (chasing) to 4 (intense combat). Crabs of intrafamily association performed more aggressive acts of shorter duration than interfamily, family B was more aggressive than those from families A and C: family C was the least aggressive, which is also the most morphologically distinct strain (a new strain with a red carapace). During the second fighting trail, the intensity and number of fights were significantly different to first fight conditions and also differed among families. Therefore, our results suggest that the aggressive behavior of Eriocheir sinensis is different among different families, and the combat experience has a significant effect on the secondary fight.

Several hundred adult specimens of crabs and lobster from two tunicate- infested estuaries and Northumberland Strait were examined for epibionts. Small patches of Botrylloides violaceus were found on rock crabs examined from Savage Harbour and a small colony of Botryllus schlosseri was found on one lobster from St. Peters Bay. Lobster and lady crab collected in Northumberland Strait had no attached colonial tunicates but small sea grapes (Molgula sp.) were found attached on the underside of 5.5% of the rock crab and on 2.5% of lobster collected in Northumberland Strait in August 2006.

Davie Queensland Museum, PO Box 3300, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. – An annotated checklist of the extant brachyuran crabs of the world is presented for the first time. Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

    FIRST RECORD OF DROMIA NEOGENICA MÜLLER, 1979 (DECAPODA, BRACHYURA, DROMIIDAE) FROM NEOGENE STRATA IN THE SOUTHERN NORTH SEA BASIN BY RENÉ H.B. FRAAIJE1,4), BARRY W.M.

The presence of this species, which was previously known from the middle-upper Miocene of Hungary and Algeria, suggests relatively higher seawater temperatures in the North Sea during the late Miocene-early Pliocene. Morphological differences (extraorbital and anterolateral teeth, development of cervical and branchiocardiac grooves) between D. neogenica and extant D. personata (Linnaeus, 1758) are relatively minor. This observation, coupled with the absence of the former species in mid-Pliocene and younger strata, and with the robust record of the latter in the mid-Pliocene to upper Pleistocene of Italy, would indicate that D. neogenica and D. personata are closely related, and probably represent the same lineage. RÉSUMÉ La dromie éponge Dromia neogenica Müller, 1979 (Dromiidae) est signalée pour la premiére fois dans les strates du Néogène (fin du Miocène-début du Pliocène) du sud du bassin de la mer du Nord.
