Body injuries in male morphotypes of the Amazon River prawn (Macrobrachium amazonicum)
ABSTRACT Fights between individuals in a population can be motivated by several factors, such as disputes over food, shelter and sexual partners. The present study aimed to evaluate the pattern of injury occurrence in the Amazon River prawn (Macrobrachium amazonicum). Prawns and environmental factors were sampled monthly, from February 2012 to September 2013, in the Tietê River, São Paulo, Brazil. Individuals were classified into eight different demographic classes and analyzed macroscopically for body injuries, which were separated into four categories (0–4). From the 2,234 prawns collected, 124 presented one or more types of physical damages. The males of dominant castes presented the highest amount of injuries, suggesting that these groups get involved more frequently in disputes. Possibly, reproductive events are a strong stimulus for the occurrence of fights in freshwater prawns since the greatest amount of injuries was observed in the period of reproductive peaks.
期刊介绍:
Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology is devoted to the publication of papers covering field and laboratory research into all aspects of the behaviour and physiology of all marine and freshwater animals within the contexts of ecology, evolution and conservation.
As the living resources of the world’s oceans, rivers and lakes are attracting increasing attention as food sources for humans and for their role in global ecology, the journal will also publish the results of research in the areas of fisheries biology and technology where the behaviour and physiology described have clear links to the contexts mentioned above.
The journal will accept for publication Research Articles, Reviews, Rapid Communications and Technical Notes (see Instructions for authors for details). In addition, Editorials, Opinions and Book Reviews (invited and suggested) will also occasionally be published. Suggestions to the Editor-In-Chief for Special Issues are encouraged and will be considered on an ad hoc basis.
With the goal of supporting early career researchers, the journal particularly invites submissions from graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. In addition to recognising the time constraints and logistical limitations their research often faces, and their particular need for a prompt review process, accepted articles by such researchers will be given prominence within the journal (see Instructions for authors for details).
