The freshwater calanoid copepod Arctodiaptomus dorsalis (Marsh, 1907) was first recorded from the Philippines in 2001 in Laguna de BayThe copepod gained the status of “invasive species” in 2021 due to its presence in 23 of 32 surveyed Philippine lakes and rivers. Genomic DNA was extracted from 107 individuals of A. dorsalis, representing seven populations on the island of Luzon to gather information on the population structure, genetic connectivity, and range expansion of the species.. A 720-bp fragment of the nuclear ITS1 and ITS2 spacers was used to analyze the genetic structure of the populations. High haplotype diversity (Hd = 0.7951), low nucleotide diversity (π = 0.0024), and low genetic distance between populations indicate high levels of gene flow and low levels of isolation. Six of the 12 haplotypes were unique to particular sites, but the three shared haplotypes suggest panmixia among populations. Tajima’s D (D = 0.4945) and Fu’s F (F = -2.8950) suggest a recent increase in population size following a bottleneck. This may have occurred as the result of the copepod’s suspected initial introduction into the Philippines after 1905 via the trade in ornamental aquarium fish, eventually followed by its expansion into nearby inland waters through one or more aquaculture-mediated introduction events. Laguna de Bay’s role since 1972 as the main source of tilapia fingerlings (Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758)) for release into various Philippine lakes provides circumstantial support for this scenario.

Small-bodied aquatic animals present a challenge to researchers seeking to uniquely mark individuals for scientific study. Microtransponder tags, such as p-Chips, represent the smallest electronic animal tags available to meet this need. The use of p-Chips to tag freshwater crayfishes, however, has not been explored. The goal of this study, therefore, was to determine the effects of p-Chip tagging on growth and survival of crayfishes in a controlled laboratory environment. We also investigated potential influences from variables such as sex, reproductive form, number of molt events, and crayfish size on mortality. We internally tagged individuals of the woodland crayfish Faxonius hylas (Faxon, 1890) (12.2–26.6 mm carapace length; CL) with either one p-Chip (single-tag) or one p-Chip and one visual implant elastomer tag (double-tagged) and observed the effects over a period of 90 days. Survival probability over time was not statistically different (P > 0.05) among tagging groups, sex, and reproductive form. Survival rates were similar across all tagging groups, with 75% in the control group, 77% in the double-tagged group, and 78% in the single-tag group. A strong correlation, however, was observed between survival and the number of molt events. Additionally, there was a negative correlation between survival and crayfish size (CL), indicating a higher risk of mortality for larger individuals. There were no statistically significant differences in growth in CL (P = 0.30) or mass (P = 0.19) among the tagging groups. We conclude that p-Chips are a viable tagging option for the study of crayfishes given their size, readability, and retention through molting cycles. We recommend that future studies repeat this experiment using smaller individuals to determine the minimum crayfish size compatible with p-Chip tagging. It is also important to test p-Chips with other crayfish species and compare the growth and mortality of crayfish tagged with p-Chips in natural habitats.

While several marine species exhibit biological rhythms of heart rate, gill ventilation, or locomotion, the relationship between these three measures in any species remains unexplored. The American horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemusLinnaeus, 1758, expresses circalunidian locomotor rhythms and circadian eye sensitivity rhythms, but it is not clear if either heart and ventilation rates are controlled on a circadian, or circatidal basis or the nature of the relationship between these three measures. We aimed to determine the extent to which the heart and ventilation rates of L. polyphemus are coordinated with its endogenous rhythms of locomotion. We recorded rhythmic beating of the heart and movements of the gill plates in freely moving horseshoe crabs. Most individuals exhibited robust circatidal rhythms of locomotion, heart rate, and ventilation that were highly correlated with each other over three weeks of continuous recording. These results are the first showing long-term rhythms of all three measures in any marine species and suggest that heart rate and ventilation rhythms are coordinated in L. polyphemus, both with each other, and with locomotion, and thus are all modulated on a tidal basis.

We describe the use of abraded bivalve shells by the shellback crabs Hypoconcha arcuataStimpson, 1858 and H. parasitica (Linnaeus, 1763) in southeastern Brazil. Shells from four species of bivalves were associated with the crabs: Eucallista purpurata (Lamarck, 1818), Chionopsis crenata (Gmelin, 1791), and Tivela zonaria (Lamarck, 1818) (Veneridae), and, most frequently (50%), Dallocardia delicatula (E.A. Smith, 1915) (Cardiidae). This was the first documented record of shellback crabs using valves of veneriid bivalves, as well as the first report of a crab-shell association for Hypoconcha in the South Atlantic Ocean. The relationship between the increase in size of shellback crabs and the size of the chosen shell was discussed.

Abstract Occurrence of developmental malformations is of interest since they potentially influence organismal performance and fitness. We report an increased incidence (⁓ 46 fold) of physical malformations in the larvae of the American lobster Homarus Gammarus (Linnaeus, 1758) in response to seawater acidification (–0.58 pH units relative to nominal pH 8.0). We observed three malformations under the influence of seawater acidification previously undescribed in lobster larvae: a flared carapace, twisted tail, and cross claw. Larvae reared under seawater acidification exhibit significantly lower survivorship (by ⁓14%) and the occurrence of a malformation decreases survivorship (12.7%). Larvae with four types of malformations did not progress through development to reach post-larval stages. Namely, these malformations were a flared carapace, curled carapace, twisted tail, and cross claw. Results from this study provide photographic documentation of various lobster larval malformations that ultimately affect individual success and can be applied for quality-control in hatcheries.

Abstract Little is known about chemical sensing during settlement by pueruli of the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus Latreille, 1804 and the effect that Panulirus argus virus 1 (PaV1), the first pathogenic virus to infect any spiny lobster, has on settling pueruli. Considering that the avoidance of PaV1-infected lobsters by early-benthic juveniles is well documented and the previously reported costs of close proximity to PaV1-infected early-benthic juveniles (increased mortality risk), pueruli of P. argus should avoid infected conspecifics during settlement. We experimentally tested if pueruli show aversion to PaV1-infected conspecifics. We also re-tested the previously reported effect of red algae (Laurencia spp.) and healthy conspecifics on pueruli settlement decisions. Considering the known benefits of inhabiting red algae and costs of close proximity to conspecific juveniles, pueruli were predicted to be attracted to metabolites produced by red algae and repulsed by metabolites produced by conspecifics. We also predicted that attraction to red algae would decrease or cease if this cue was presented together with cues produced by PaV1-infected conspecifics. Our experiments indicate that pueruli do not avoid metabolites produced by benthic juveniles and are not attracted to metabolites produced by red algae. Importantly, pueruli are attracted to a combination of metabolites produced by red algae and conspecific juveniles but this attraction ceases if conspecifics are PaV1-infected. Our results indicate that PaV1 disrupts habitat selection by settling pueruli and suggest that assumptions about cost and benefits experienced by settling pueruli need to be revisited. Research to improve the understanding of the relationship between recruitment, disease avoidance, and fishery stock in this heavily exploited spiny lobster is needed.

Abstract Current knowledge of age at legal size in Newfoundland & Labrador (NL) and other snow-crab stocks is incomplete due to historic estimations not accounting for skip-molting growth delays. Previous work has shown skip-molting incidence to occasionally be very high in males, both in NL and some other major snow-crab stocks. This warrants research to better understand impacts of skip-molting on snow-crab age and growth dynamics, which are central to population assessment and resource management. We simulated the impact of skip-molting on growth dynamics of snow crabs from three regions around NL by coupling a nineteen year time series of molt-type probabilities derived from field trawl surveys to historical data on age-at-instar based on cohort analysis of wild populations that do not consider skip-molting in making age estimations. Trawl surveys and simulations showed that skip-molting is a prominent feature in NL snow crabs, with up to four skip-molts being a reasonable maximum possible estimate for males in portions of the NL snow-crab stock. A complementary analysis examining the ability to age snow crabs using gastric mill band counts showed overall strong agreement with published growth trajectories that were modified to include skip-molting as well as reasonable average age approximations for most crabs, but unexpectedly high variability in age estimates for individuals of a same instar stage and unexpectedly low age estimates for younger crabs. Our study leads to a refinement of age at legal size for NL snow crab from the current nine-year estimate to a range of 9–13 years. Although this range is deemed to capture virtually every crab reaching legal size in NL snow-crab populations, ages higher than 11 years to fishery recruitment (2 skip-molts) are relatively infrequent.

Abstract The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852) has been responsible for negative impacts on native benthic fauna and flora in invaded freshwater ecosystems around the world, including Japan. We need to clarify the reproductive biology in the invaded habitats as basic information to effectively control the introduced populations, but the reproductive biology of P. clarkii in Japan (especially in western Japan) has not been well studied. We conducted monthly samplings of P. clarkii from November 2015 to November 2016 in a pond (which does not freeze, even in winter) in Okayama, western Japan, both by using shrimp cage traps and by hand nets to examine aspects of the reproduction, including a form alternation (i.e., Form I and II). We also reared spawning females in the laboratory and calculated the accumulated water temperature during the period to Stage-3 juveniles after spawning. The total number of individuals caught throughout the study period was 6,319 (2,601 males and 2,777 females, with eight of unknown sex and 933 juveniles). The males were all Form I with a breeding status from September to November 2016. We first found ovigerous females in July 2016 and females carrying hatchlings in October 2016, even in January 2016. The form alternation in males was confirmed not only in the cheliped length, but in the hook length. In laboratory observations, approximately 52 days with approximately 1,222 °C degree-days of the accumulated water temperature were necessary to Stage-3 juveniles after spawning. Our results indicate that P. clarkii can reproduce within approximately five months of hatching.

In laboratory observations, approximately 52 days with approximately 1,222 °C degree-days of the accumulated water temperature were necessary to Stage-3 juveniles after spawning. Our results indicate that P. clarkii can reproduce within approximately five months of hatching.","PeriodicalId":54850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crustacean Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135976844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Two species of fossil crustaceans from the Czech Republic are assigned to AstacusFabricius, 1775, a European crayfish: A. laevissimusFritsch & Kafka, 1887 and A. cenomanensisFritsch & Kafka, 1887. Both come from marine sediments, making doubtful their assignment to crayfishes. Specimens assigned to Astacus laevissimus correspond in fact to propodi of etyoid brachyurans. The type material of A. cenomanensis is heterogeneous, comprising fragmentary ctenochelid (Thalassinidea) propodi and isolated cheliped fingers of etyoid crabs. None of the two species belong to crayfishes. Since the studied cheliped material is too fragmentary and poorly preserved to be attributed confidently on species or genus level, A. laevissimus and A. cenomanensis are considered nomina dubia.
捷克共和国甲壳类化石的两种归属于欧洲小龙虾AstacusFabricius, 1775: a . laevissimusFritsch &;卡夫卡,1887年和A.诺曼尼斯·弗里奇;卡夫卡,1887年。这两种动物都来自海洋沉积物,这让它们被归为小龙虾的身份变得可疑。被划归为laevissimus的标本实际上对应于鼻祖类短爪动物的propodi。沙蟹的类型材料是异质的,包括残缺的栉蟹(thalassin总科)丙足和分离的类爪蟹爪指。这两种都不属于小龙虾。由于所研究的螯合材料太过碎片化且保存不良,无法自信地归因于种或属水平,因此认为A. laevissimus和A. cenomanensis被认为是名义上的dubia。
