But I would not have had it any other way! ix General Abstract Lysmata amboinensis is a protandric simultaneous hermaphrodite (PSH); individuals develop as males (MPs) and then change to simultaneous hermaphrodites (SHs). PSHs exhibit functions of both males and females during each reproductive cycle. There are a number of important physiological reproductive features that have not been previously studies in this species, including male size at sexual maturity, fecundity of SHs based on body size differences and timing of the sex phase change. To answer the former two questions, MPs were paired with SHs to produce various size combinations. It was found that L. amboinensis MPs were sexually mature at a total length (TL) of 34.0 mm and larval production increased with increasing body length, with large SHs displaying 3 times the larval output of small and medium -sized SHs. To answer the latter question, MPs were exposed to different social situations by being paired with either another MP (of similar or larger size) or with an SH. Indeed, the timing of sex phase change was influenced by the social condition, indicating “environmental sex determination” (ESD). The “default” size at change was 37.1 mm (TL) when MPs were reared alone; when MPs were paired with a larger MP it was the larger MP that changed first to SH, while the partner shrimp changed at a larger size than the “default”. If MPs were paired with similar-sized MPs or with SHs, phase change occurred at a smaller size than the “default”. The observed patterns are discussed in terms of reproductive opportunities for a species occuring in small groups in the wild, referred to as a “low density” spp. Aquaculture production of L. amboinensis has been problematic due to the prolonged duration of larval development, punctuated by periods of high mortality. Broodstock x maturation diets have been shown to affect fecundity and offspring quality. The primary aim of this component of the study was to identify a suitable maturation diet for L. amboinensis from a range of commonly available feeds. The six diets were squid, mussel, adult Artemia, a commercial feed, and combinations of the aforementioned and were fed to L. amboinensis over four reproductive cycles. Broodstock fed the squid-mussel diet lost > ½ of the egg mass during incubation, with decreased larval production, the lowest being 22 larvae. By contrast, broodstock fed adult Artemia retained > 80 % of their eggs; however, hatchability was poor, resulting in low numbers per hatch, ranging from 12 to 51 larvae. The commercial feed yielded high fecundity and larval output. In L. amboinensis, a maturation diet consisting of natural feeds alone results in poor reproductive performance; partial, or complete, replacement with an artificial feed is economically feasible. Lipid enrichment of Artemia to boost their highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) content is a standard procedure to improve diet performance and can be taylored to deliver key nutrients to culture animals. Frozen, lipid enriched adult Artemia were fed to L. amboinensis broodstock to investigate their suitability and elucidate the role of essential

    Lysmata amboinensis (de Man, 1888) B. Santhosh, M. K. Anil and Biji Xavier IDENTIFICATION Order : Decapoda Family : Lysmatidae Common/FAO : Pacific cleaner Name (English) shrimp Local names:names Not available MORPHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION The Pacific cleaner shrimp is easily identified by its colour patterns. The body is light brown with one white band dorsally and two red bands laterally running longitudinally. The tail has two white spots on either side. The antennae are white in colour and the first pair has red coloured base. It grows up to a maximum of 6 cm. Source of image : RC CMFRI, Vizhinjam 363 PROFILE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION Scarlet cleaner shrimp or Pacific cleaner shrimp is one of the most popular species of ornamental crustaceans distributed in the waters of the Indo-Pacific region in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. HABITAT AND BIOLOGY It is one of the popular marine shrimp, associated with coral reefs and compatible with smaller sized marine ornamental fishes. It hides in the near shore, shallow and protected areas within a temperature range of 25-30 °C. In the Indo-Pacific areas and the Red Sea, it is mostly found in caves and crevices of coral reefs. It especially needs shelter from predators when it is moulting. It is an omnivore and a scavenger and often feeds on the external parasites of fishes. As its name indicates, this species cleans fishes including moray eels and groupers feeding on their external parasites as well as on mucous and dead or injured tissue. The shrimp moults once every 3-8 weeks and spawns regularly every 2-3 weeks.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new peppermint shrimp species, Lysmata jundalini sp. nov., is described based on five specimens collected in shallow subtidal waters on Enrique Reef at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Isla, Magueyes Laboratories. Lysmata jund- alini sp. nov. was identified from fresh material collected at the reef crest and back reef among coral rubble in June 2005 and April 2009. The new species is most closely related to the Atlantic Lysmata intermedia and eastern Pacific L. holthu- isi. It can be readily distinguished from all those in the genus Lysmata by its color pattern, the presence of a well developed accessory branch, the number of free vs. fused segments of the accessory branch, the number of carpal segments of the second pereiopod and well developed pterygostomian tooth. Key words: Hermaphrodite, Lysmata intermedia complex, cryptic taxa Introduction The caridean shrimp genus Lysmata Risso, 1816 is commonly placed within the family Hippolytidae Bate, 1888.

Considerable progress on the reproductive ecology of members from these two genera has been achieved during the last decade. However, several outstanding issues of systematic nature remain to be addressed. Here, a molecular phylogeny of these two genera was used to examine the overall evolutionary relationship within and between species and genera, and to answer various questions related to the systematic status of several species. The present phylogenetic analysis, including 53 sequences and 26 species of Lysmata and Exhippolysmata, indicates that semiterrestrial shrimps from the genus Merguia represent the sister group to a second natural clade composed by shrimps from the genera Lysmata and Exhippolysmata. Also, the phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the genus Lysmata is paraphyletic, and includes the genus Exhippolysmata, as noted in a preliminary study. The tree partially supports the separation of species with or without a developed accessory branch into two different genera or subgenera (i.e.

  • Functional, Simultaneous Hermaphroditism in Female-Phase Lysmata Amboinensis (Decapoda: Caridea: Hippolytidae) 1 G
    Pacific Science (1998), vol. 52, no. 2: 161-169 0 1998 by University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved Functional, Simultaneous Hermaphroditism in Female-Phase Lysmata amboinensis (Decapoda: Caridea: Hippolytidae) 1 G. CURT FIEDLER 2 ABSTRACT: Several species of hippolytid shrimp of the genus Lysmata are described as protandrous hermaphrodites, with speculation that some Lysmata are simultaneous hermaphrodites and/or store exogenous sperm. The objective of this study was to ascertain the presence of simultaneous hermaphroditism in L. amboinensis De Man. For this experiment, four pairs of female-phase L. amboinensis were isolated until each shrimp spawned two fertile clutches of eggs. For two of the four pairs, pair-mates were then separated and isolated in an identical fashion. Paired individuals continued to spawn and hatch fertile eggs. Isolated individuals spawned only infertile eggs. Paired shrimp also synchronized their molt cycles in a staggered fashion, such that individuals al- ternated sexual roles. Histological and morphological examination shows that each female-phase individual possessed an active male and female portion of the gonad with corresponding gonoducts. The results indicate that this species is a functional, simultaneous hermaphrodite. Previously, this pattern has not been adequately described in any decapod crustacean. HERMAPHRODMSM IS KNOWN from relatively wurdemanni, L ensirostris, L. grabhami, L. few (-40) species of decapod crustaceans in nilita, and L amboinensis De Man (Suku- 10 families (for reviews, see Carpenter 1978, maran 1981, Policansky 1982, Bundy 1983, Policansky 1982, Bauer 1986) (for recent Debelius 1984).
