Abstract The assessment of Penaeidae species diversity in a particular region is very important in formulating conservation strategies. In the present study, the survey on diversity of Penaeidae species in south east coast of India has been assessed on the basis of landing of variety of species in this group. Penaeidae species were collected from various main landing centers of south east coast of India for three years. Identification and nomenclature was done based on previously published literature. Among the 59 species observed, the Penaeus semisulcatus, Penaeus monodon and Fenneropenaeus indicus were found mostly in all landing centers.

Eight species are new records for the area, raising the total number of carideans known from the Persian Gulf to 46. A review is presented of all previous records, which highlights the relative paucity of records.

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.

  • Invertebrate Animals (Metazoa: Invertebrata) of the Atanasovsko Lake, Bulgaria
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, 22: 45-71, 2015 Invertebrate Animals (Metazoa: Invertebrata) of the Atanasovsko Lake, Bulgaria Zdravko Hubenov, Lyubomir Kenderov, Ivan Pandourski Abstract: The role of the Atanasovsko Lake for storage and protection of the specific faunistic diversity, characteristic of the hyper-saline lakes of the Bulgarian seaside is presented. The fauna of the lake and surrounding waters is reviewed, the taxonomic diversity and some zoogeographical and ecological features of the invertebrates are analyzed. The lake system includes from freshwater to hyper-saline basins with fast changing environment. A total of 6 types, 10 classes, 35 orders, 82 families and 157 species are known from the Atanasovsko Lake and the surrounding basins. They include 56 species (35.7%) marine and marine-brackish forms and 101 species (64.3%) brackish-freshwater, freshwater and terrestrial forms, connected with water. For the first time, 23 species in this study are established (12 marine, 1 brackish and 10 freshwater). The marine and marine- brackish species have 4 types of ranges – Cosmopolitan, Atlantic-Indian, Atlantic-Pacific and Atlantic. The Atlantic (66.1%) and Cosmopolitan (23.2%) ranges that include 80% of the species, predominate. Most of the fauna (over 60%) has an Atlantic-Mediterranean origin and represents an impoverished Atlantic-Mediterranean fauna. The freshwater-brackish, freshwater and terrestrial forms, connected with water, that have been established from the Atanasovsko Lake, have 2 main types of ranges – species, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it and species, distributed only in the Palaearctic. The representatives of the first type (52.4%) predomi- nate. They are related to the typical marine coastal habitats, optimal for the development of certain species.

Moreover, the presentation of detailed ¢gures allows a non-specialist to make identi¢cations more easily. INTRODUCTION nearby areas as a complement document when identifying larval stages. Identi¢cation of decapod larvae from plankton samples The order Decapoda comprises two suborders, the is not easy, principally because there are great morpholo- Dendrobranchiata and the Pleocyemata (Martin & Davis, gical changes between developmental phases, although less 2001). A key for the identi¢cation of Dendrobranchiata pronounced between larval stages. Moreover, larval larvae covering the same area of this study has been descriptions of many species are still unsuitable or even presented by dos Santos & Lindley (2001).

    Alpheid shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Alpheidae) of Vietnam Item Type article Authors Tiwari, Krishna Kant Download date 02/10/2021 11:01:07 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/1834/35742 316 KRISHNA KANT TIWARI Fingers fringed with hair along the prehensile edges, tips curved and acute ; a tooth on cutting edge of near base in the males, but absent in the female, this tooth being rather large in the Cua-Be male and slight others and in the latter fingers are ahm less hairy ; in the Cua-Be male fingers gape when closed, in others they shut. Ratio of carpal segments of second pereiopod (Text-fig. 30k) as follows: -- 13 : 10 : 4 : 4 : 6. Chela by the same measure being (palm 5, finger Merus of third pereiopod (Text-fig. 30l) a spine at the distal end of lower border, about four times as long as Carpus slightly more than half as long as merus, its distal extremities not produced. Propodus about two-thirds as long as merus, with 8-9 movable spines on its inferior margin. Dactylus about one-third as long as propodus, apex simple and acute. Telson twice as long as breadth of its anterior border ; posterior mar­ gin slightly arcuate, half as wide as anterior margin. Dorsal spines moder­ ately large, about 0.3 and 0.6 distance away from the distal end. Remarks : These specimens agree well with published descriptions of A. pacificus Banner (1953) has extensively described and figured the ex­ amples of this species from Hawaii. In having a tooth on the cutting edge of dactylus in males, the present material differs from the Hawaiian speci­ mens! Distribtttion : This "'""'~"'~'~"' has a distribution in the Indo-Paci:fic.
