Can anyone offer their > opinion on this? Noreen, please be more specific with regard to "using electrophoresis". Are you interested in DNA manipulations or protein gel electrophoresis? In the case of DNA work, inhibitory compounds (probably pigments) that inhibit restriction enzymes and DNA polymerases are not uncommon. However, there are many different ways to isolate DNA and the severity of this problem is organism and tissue specific. Therefore, don't let this potential problem discourage you from trying. You might not have a problem at all. - -- Shiao Y.

If you do not believe in ingestion of your experimental subjects, or you're not interested in crustacean culinary efforts, please ignore this message. If you have any culinary aptitude with crustacea, please read on. Lots of folks on the listserv have given me wonderful advice regarding questions I have asked. Along with that advice have come several suggestions of wonderful recipes using crustacea that have been too good to ignore. I am designing a web page for myself and think it would be great fun to compile a list of seafood recipes by the folks who work with them to put on my site (some people may view this as thesis avoidance but I consider it a holistic approach to my studies!). Im not aware that anyone has done this before, but if Im repeating the effort, please let me know. If you have any recipes that you are willing to share with me, please email them to me along with your name and affiliation/contact info if you want to be identified. I will compile them and let everyone know when they are ready. Please email me if you have any questions/comments about this.

It appears to be a Cryptoniscidae. But some questions arise when I begin to examine some bibliography. Kensley & Schotte (1989) listed only four families in Epicaridea: Bopyridae, Dajidae, Entoniscidae and Cryptoniscidae. What happemed with Microniscidae M=FCller, 1871 and Cabiropsidae Kossman,1874. Are they synonymous of another families? The family Cryptoniscidae appears to be have a problematic taxonomy. Usually the general Isopod texts avoid them, usually only commenting the bopyrids! Are in this family many isopods parasitizing cirripeds? Which bibliography I can go on? Thanks Paulo S.

Another who can rhapsodize about parasites! Yes, the Epicaridea are indeed beautiful! ;-) Once you've encountered one, you're never the= same.... The family-level (and even generic for many) taxonomy for these taxa are as torturous as tracking down the obscure publications. I don't have the literature on Microniscidae. I believe Cabiropsidae is still valid. Leigh Owens published some recent biology Cabirops orbei (Aust. J. Mar Freshw. Res. 1993, 44(3): 381-387). You may want to start with the following references: Grygier, M.J. 1993. Cryptoniscidae s.s. (Isopoda: Epicaridea): Nomenclatural history and recommendations. Publ. Seto mar. biol. Lab. 36(3): 185-195.=20 Grygier, M.J. & T.E. Bowman. 1990. The correct family-level name for the "cryptoniscid" isopods (Epicaridea). Crustaceana 58(1): 27-32. Grygier, M.J. & T.E. Bowman. 1991.

I am currently undertaking a PhD at Museum Victoria (Australia), studying the amphipod family Phoxocephalidae, under the supervision of Dr. Gary Poore. I have a particular interest in the Australian Fauna and am in the process of determining the generic placement of some undescribed material. I am aware of a number of new genera described since Barnard and Drummond's major work in 1991, and believe the list of valid genera below to be complete after extensive literature searches over the past 12 months. I am aware however that descriptions of new genera can sometimes be overlooked in searches and would greatly appreciate those of you who have published work on the Phoxocephalidae to peruse the list below and alert me to any genera you believe to be 'missing'.

As part of the behavioral model, I'd like to specify the passive sinking velocity of the megalopae. However, I haven't been able to find anything published on it. The closest I've come is the sinking velocity for stage VII blue crab larvae (Sulkin et al., 1980, in Biol. Bull.). [A paper by Naylor and Isaac (1973, Mar. Behav. Physiol. 1:341-350.) may have the information I'm looking for, but our library's collection of this journal starts in 1979.] Any help (ref.s or values) you can give will be deeply appreciated.

Brusca) Subject: CRUST-L: Epicaridean families Hi Paulo. I don't work on epicarideans so can't offer you much help. Check in with Mark Grygier or John Markham or Brian Kensley regarding the= status of the epicaridean families. My notes actually list 11 families (below), but I have NOT checked this list against the Kensley/Schotte lis= t for accuracy (theirs or mine), and some of these may no longer be valid, = or may be in dispute. This is a difficult group to deal with in terms of historical taxonomy; it needs a higher-level revision. Good luck. Rick Brusca 1. Asconiscidae Bonnier, 1900 2. Bopyridae Rafinesque, 181. For recent reviews see Shiino 1952, 1965;= Markham 1974, 1982; Adkison 1984. According to Markham (1982) there are just over 500 described species in 10 subfamilies, all of which are obligate, castrating, ectoparasites of decapods, with members of each subfamily largely restricted to hosts of a single decapod infraorder or lower taxon. This is the largest (and least modified) of the epicaridean= families. Most authors recognize subfamilies, but there seem little reas= on to assume these are monophyletic groups, and genera are constantly being shuffled about between groups. At least 42 valid genera. 3. Cabiropsidae Kossman, 1874 (or Giard & Bonnier, 1887?)=0B(Cabiropidae= by Sassaman 1992). At least 4 valid genera. 4. Crinoniscidae Bonnier, 1900 5. Cryptoniscidae Kossmann, 1880=0B=5Boften cited as 1884=5D. See Niels= en & Stromberg, 1965, 1973 and Grygier 1993 for recent summaries. Hyperparasites of rhizocephalan cirripeds and other epicarideans, direct parasites of various ostracods, thoracican barnacles, and peracarids.. According to Grygier (1993) this family includes many of the genera of th= e often incorrectly used family name Liriopsidae Bonnier, 1900 (but not Cabirops, Cryptothir, or Duplorbia). All cryptoniscids appear to be protandric hermaphrodites with up to 3 pre-adult (=22larval=22) stages. = The first two stages infest copepods, and the third stage (the =22cryptoniscu= s stage=22) infests the definitive host. The protandric male is more-or-le= ss indistinguishable from the cryptoniscus =22larva,=22 whereas the female i= s a grossly distorted parasitic form that often resembles little more than a bag of ovary. Most species have been described on the basis of juveniles= (=22larval=22 stages). For recent treatments see Nielsen & Stromberg (19= 73), Schultz (1977), Grygier (1981a, 1981b). Some people (in following Bonnier 1900 and Nielsen & Stromberg 1965) elevate this family to the level of superfamily, Cryptoniscoidea, in whic= h are placed at least 7 families: Asconiscidae, Cabiropsidae, Crinoniscidae= , Cyproniscidae, Hemioniscidae, Liriopsidae, and Podasconidae. However, no= t all workers have followed this trend, and not all nominate genera have be= en assigned to families. 6. Cyproniscidae Giard & Bonnier, 1887 7. Dajidae G.O. Sars, 1882 =5Bor 1899 ?=5D. At least 7 genera. 8. Entoniscidae F. M=FCller, 1871=0B=5Bor Kossman, 1882 ?=5D. Entonisci= ds are internal parasites of crabs and shrimps. Females are usually modified beyond recognition, with the marsupium grossly inflated as a hood that in= some cases extends dorsally over the cephalon. Males and mancas, however,= appear more isopodlike with a dorsoventrally compressed body, complete segmentation, and pereopods. Mature females are surrounded by a host response sheath, with an external communication to the environment via a small hole or furrow in the carapace of the hosts. Most are parasitic castrators, and in some cases entoniscids can feminize male hosts. Good references on the biology of this family are: Giard & Bonnier 1887, Giard= 1887, Veillet 1945, and Reinhard 1956. At least 15 genera. 9. Hemioniscidae. Hemioniscu, and ??. 10. Liropsidae Bonnier, 1900 (or 1890?)=0BSee Markham 1993. At least 4 = genera. 11.

Markham" Subject: Re: CRUST-L: ISOPODS Dear Paulo, Your query arrived while I was away on a trip, so I did not see it for some time. Probably that is fortunate, because it allowed others to respond better than I could have. My research has been confined to the Bopyridae, at least in part because I am confident that I can define that family to my satisfaction. The other epicaridean families are of uncertain limits and even number, and because they comprise only a small fraction of known epicaridean species (perhaps 10%), I have chosen to stay away from them and devote my efforts to the 500+ species whose systematics I can understand. I greatly appreciate and applaud Rick Brusca's analysis of families and can certainly offer nothing even as good. My only comments are: 1) By my count, there are currently 148 acceptable bopyrid genera. 2. The bopyrid subfamilies are not really as unstable as Rick implies. I find it quite easy to assign genera, and few of them have been reassigned. There is a fascinating exception to that rule, and it occurs among those species found infesting thalassinideans (what I have designated the "Thalassinidean Transition"), which includes the most primitive genera of two major subfamilies (plus some other genera), where the margins among subfamilies really do seem to break down. I think this reflects an evolutionary state, but clearly more research is required to resolve this. Of course all of this does nothing toward identifying your beast, but perhaps it lets you know that the situation is far from simple.

I thought that I saw such an article just after his death, but can't remember where. The reason for this query is that Gary Anderson and I are preparing biographical sketches of biologists who have made major contributions to the study of the Tanaidacea. These sketches will include a photograph of the specialists [we hope] and lists of the taxa they described and and their published works on Tanaidacaea. If we are successful in obtaining this information, it will be made available on a web site devoted to the order Tanaidacea. Any help in this query will be greatly appreciated.

Harvey" Subject: Re: CRUST-L: Sexing Hermit Crabs Lisa, Yes, until you have the right search image, the gonopores, especially of males, can be hard to recognize. Try using pleopods of large specimens to sex the crabs, then look at the differences between the coxae of your known males and females. Females have large, setose, well developed sets of biramous pleopods on the abdomen; males have biramous pleopods as well, but they are much, much smaller in size. The differences should be apparent in larger specimens, but this is not necessarily so for very small crabs, which is why gonopores are useful. I've been able to sex lab-reared Clibanarius vitattus juveniles as early as 3 molts after metamorphosis using gonopores. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Its a potent antibacterial compound, not as good as Malachite green for killing fungi though. Its been withdrawn for aquaculture use (well it was never licenced, actually) in NZ and OZ, because of potential resistance problems affecting its use in human medicine, and is only available through medical prescription. Probably the same situation in the US? Malachite green is, of course, also a drug "in trouble" for its carcinogenic properties, but its unsurpassed as a fungicide, so its hard to stop farmers using it.

We have known that the treatments such as freezing, hydrogen/dehydrogen, H2O2, NaOCl, NH4Cl, CO2, etc. can effectively activate the dormant cysts. Are there other effective methords? We are very interested to know the mechanisms of the activation. Why can the treatments activate the dormant cysts? What are the ecological principals? What are the physilogical, cellular, biochemical, and molicular changes in the dormant cysts when treated? Any information on the mechanisms of activating dormant cysts of the brine shrimp Artemia, or other organisms such as rotifers, copepods, cladoceras, insects, and even the plant seeds are much appreciated.

I believe the Poles found this with Antarctic euphausiids (I've got the reference, but it's buried in boxes). I almost got to go to Lake Baikal several years ago to work on amphipods there, and this fluoring question was one we were going to look at (with Jerry Barnard, piggybacking on National Geographic--funding fell through). I don't recall fluorine producing mental effects, but there are chemicals and drugs that do this. I had some particulary interesting morphine-induced nightmares the last time I had major surgery. The Swiss have found high levels (relative to normal therapeutic doses) of drugs in their waste water systems. I forget the source, if it was pharmacy-plant effluent or people and hospitals dumping drugs down the drain. So the question I would ask is: which prawns from where? Perhaps they are concentrating pharmaceuticals or other chemical pollutants that can cause nightmares. Phil >Our web site generates some silly questions but this beats all.

(ed.). Catalogue of Crustacea of Brazil. Rio de Janeiro: Museu Nacional. 718pp. (Serie Livros n. 6). The planning of this catalogue was initiated during the XX Brazilian Congress of Zoology in July 1994. Several additional authors were then invited to develop the chapters. In the end, 48 authors participated, covering most crustacean groups.=20 This study is intended as a reference for students of Brazilian Crustacea, including general biologists, ecologists, limnologists, marine biologists, and taxonomists. It provides usefully detailed information about the diversity of our crustacean fauna. There has been no attempt to treat crustacean systematics above species level, and I have accepted the personal views of each author. The titles are organized according to the general classification of Bowman and Abele (1982).=20 Each chapter includes the species found in the marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems of Brazil. For each species, the following information is provided: Synonymy, Description and diagnosis, References, Geographic distribution, and Comments. The sections on synonymy and description and diagnosis present the literature which best or most recently treated the species. The reference section includes the literature citing the species from Brazil. The geographic distribution gives the general distribution and the abbreviation of each Brazilian state or oceanic island where the species has been found. The comments provide appropriate additional information such as the habitat, or, in the case of parasitic species, the host. Complete references are given at the end of each chapter.

FL freshwater invertebrates Greetings Crust-L group- I am working on a project sponsored by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). During the course of routine operations, SFWMD technicians collect and preserve specimens from the rivers, lakes and wetlands under the SFWMD jurisdiction. The annual volume of these specimens can be quite large. As many as 5000 lots of organisms may be collected each year from as many as 500 different locations. As these technicians are not capable of making the necessary identifications, we are attempting to locate experts in the appropriate taxonomic discipline, e.g. freshwater mollusks, aquatic insects, freshwater crustacea. We are also compiling a database of the existing biological and systematics collections corresponding to south Florida and would like information on relevant material held by you or your institution. We are looking for specialists to join our invertebrate ID team. This project can potentially benefit you, your collections and/or your institution. At this time, we are seeking only people and collections located in Florida. If you have the appropriate expertise and have interest in knowing more about this project please reply. We appreciate any pertinent information that you might have regarding colleagues, collections, or institutions that we should contact.

I used to love prawns, but since I developed food allergies I'm not allowed to eat shellfish. (Now isn't that just a bit ironic?) Anyhoo...what occurred to me on reading this post was the presence of (I can't remember which it is) either arachidonic acid or eicosanoids in shellfish. If memory serves, I believe they're precursors of inflammatory agents in humans. And I can't even begin to speculate what effect inflammation might have on REM sleep. Except that I've read that immune system health directly effects neurologic function. Perhaps the person having the bad dreams is allergic to prawns?

It has become apparent that certain harpacticoid copepods are strongly associated with some of these bluegreens. I am aware of various works dealing with parasitism and comensalism in copepods, and of papers looking at copepods associated with true algae. However, I do not know of any papers dealing with copepod-cyanobacterial associations. Does anyone know about any works on this? The only research I know of is on the nutritional ecology of planktonic copepods feeding on bluegreens. Has any work been done on benthic species that live on cyanobacterial mats or large macroscopic cyanobacteria? Any information is welcome.

June 11, 1909) died in Concord, Massachusetts, USA on Dec. 16, 1998. She worked extensively with William Beebe of the New York Zoological Society in the 1930's, including trips down in the bathysphere & also managed the research stations in Venezuela and Trinidad. She was perhaps best known among crustacean biologists for her immense and invaluable tome: Fiddler Crabs of the World (Princeton University Press, 1975). After her retirement from crustacean work (the 1975 book was her last crustacean publication), she obtained a PhD in Fine Arts from New York University. She is survived by her husband, Donald R.

This is the first time a flatfish is tagged with our tags and the= =20 results from the retrieved tags look very promising. Results from one plaice DST can now be seen under "Fish" on our home page,= =20 http://www.star-oddi.com/fish.htm There you will find text and figures=20 describing the tagging procedure and the believed pattern and behaviour of= =20 the fish. Under "Reference" (http://www.star-oddi.com/referenc.htm) is a new ICES=20 paper (1998) about the usage of our Data Storage Tags. The paper name is=20 "Size specific time and duration of spawning of cod (Gadus morhua) in=20 Icelandic waters". Under same page are two ICES reports: "Study group on ocean salmon tagging= =20 experiments with data logging tags", from 1997 (ICES CM 1997/M:3) and 1998= =20 (ICES CM 1998/G:17). In these reports are Data Storage Tags from all the=20 manufactures compared, size, performance, price from some manufactures,=20 etc. We think it is necessary for those that will start using electronic=20 tags and those that are continuing to use electronic tags to read these=20 reports as they will help them find suitable equipment for their=20 experiment. Please contact me if you have any questions or commands. Best regards, Sigurdur H. Johannsson M.Sc.

Now we found out that various colleagues tried to reach our page using their outdated bookmarks to particular subordinate pages, which, however, had to get new addresses/links. This is a pertinent problem for any server provider, but we can only produce a few dummies on the former server to main pages, not all subordinate ones. Please delete your old bookmarks and reenter from our new starting addresse to get into our homepage. Sorry for this inconvenience, but I promise that this new system will continue for longer .

Rather, many people have allergic reactions to iodine. Iodine is normal in human and needed. Iodine in crustaceans is related to the environment. Salt water contains higher levels than freshwater. Therefore, persons having allergic reactions (iodine) to shellfish from salt water might not have a similar response from crustaceans harvested from freshwater. I don't know the actual mechanism for crustaceans concentrating iodine. - -------------------------------------------------------- Bill Daniels Research Associate Professor/ Extension Specialist, Aquaculture 1200 N.

Sex and parthenogenesis Edited by Koen MARTENS (Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Freshwater Biology) Why do some organisms reproduce with, others without sex, while some have both types of reproduction? What is the effect of reproductive strategy on tempo and mode of evolution? Although these topics have received increased attention during the past decades, none of the model groups thus far used allowed the assessment of the timeframes over which these processes operate, as they all lack a fossil record. The present book introduces the Ostracoda (small bivalved Crustacea) as a new model group to investigate such questions. Ostracods have largely been ignored in evolutionary studies on reproductive mode, this in spite of the fact that they have an extensive fossil record and can reproduce using different breeding strategies. Combining palaeontological, ecological, morphological and molecular techniques, the effects of reproductive modes on evolutionary ecology of non-marine ostracod lineages have been investigated. The book shows that there are very different types of asexual reproduction, some of which use completely opposite strategies to ensure long-term persistence. It is illustrated that origin and maintenance of invertebrate diversity cannot be understood when these underlying strategies are ignored. *************************************************************************** Sex and Parthenogenesis.

I am conducting some crab surveys and am planning on collecting a sample of organisms from a series of sites over the next six months. Following the collection I'd like to be able to do gut content analysis on these guys. Ive heard that formalin followed by 70%EtOH is the way to go, but Ive also heard from someone that crusts are not fans of formalin and they can react violently (eg vomit) if dumped into formalin. SO, Im wondering what's the best way to preserve for GCA, and particularly for how long will these specimens remain good- if I wouldnt be able to do GCA for 6 months to a year after collecting all specimens, would this present any problems?

Such a response might have implications for laboratory-based studies into nutrition and feeding. At the moment I am running another experiment, here on the farm, and will be unable to get away to do my own CD-ROM searches for at least a month. I was hoping, in the interim, that a kind list-member might be willing to help me out with identifying references concerning the subject of stress and crustacean growth. I would eventually like to write a short-communication about the phenomena. Can list-members recommend an appropriate journal?

Yes, there are published digital images, but even the best are not near the quality of film (even in the opinion of art directors working at computer-geek magazines--and they're not worried about resolution like scientists are). For publication and digital image processing (of stills, anyway), you're better off shooting on film and then scanning the images into a computer. This also gives an archive that will still be useable in 5 or 50 years. (Although CD-ROMs are also good for archiving.) Frame captures from digital video cameras will be of lower quality than digital still images, and captures from a vidicon video camera (the old, pre-CCD type) will be worse. One note about video-capture cards: you don't have to buy the hot-damn expensive ones--some of the inexpensive cards work as well or better than the pricely ones. The flu has eaten my brain, and I don't recall brands off hand, but I think Spigot or Scion made a good one. This discussion comes up often on the microscopy listserver run by the Microscopy Society of America. They maintain an archive on their web site: http://www.msa.microscopy.com/ You might root around in there for this thread. I'd suggest talking to the folks running the microscopy facility at U. Washington. They likely have the information you need. If you really need publication quality still images, you'll need to use a 35mm camera back and shoot film. A used Olympus OM-2 or 4 back works great for this. Excellent light metering, and since you're not buying lenses, they are cheap (maybe $100 or less, depending on the local market). Sorry I don't have more information at hand. Phil >I am interested in setting up my Olympus SZ60 dissecting microscope for >photographing copepods.

Hmm, I just tried this site. It's pretty slow, but more to the point, 1)
Cancellus typus is not to be found; 2) Pagurus (Eupagurus) berhardus, a

although Linnaeus is acknowledged for Cancer pagurus. This admittedly
cursory test suggests that this site is not yet appropriate for tracking

Amphibian Task Force Worsening declines and deformities in amphibian populations globally have precipitated a U.S. government effort to find the causes and stop the problems, starting with an interagency task force and a significant increase in the fiscal year 2000 budget request for research. Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt said Feb. 24 that he is dedicated to obtaining an extra $8.1 million in fiscal 2000 for four Interior agencies to research and determine the causes of declines and deformities in frogs, toads, and salamanders. The Interior Department was appropriated $1 million in the fiscal 1999 budget for such research. Babbitt addressed the second meeting of the Taskforce on Amphibian Declines and Deformities, a group of officials from 15 government and research agencies formed in September 1998. TADD was formed to investigate why amphibian species are disappearing globally at a sudden and precipitous rate. Several scientists at the TADD meeting Feb. 24 gave presentations on evidence they have found for declining amphibian populations. The top three factors for declining frog, toad, and salamander populations appear to be disease, introduction of non-native fish near native amphibian populations, and chemical contamination. TADD was formed after Babbitt met with several Cabinet members and other high-ranking officials in spring 1998 on the issue. The mission of the task force is to promote and coordinate federal agency activities to identify and address the causes of amphibian declines and deformities. Participants are officials from the Departments of Interior, Agriculture, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Justice, and State, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Smithsonian Institution, the Agency for International Development, the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and Global Legislators for a Balanced Environment. At the meeting, representatives of four working groups gave presentations on their purpose and status of their work. The science workgroup is collecting and synthesizing information on the different research projects around the world to identify and determine causes for amphibian decline and deformities. The conservation workgroup is identifying those causes and determining what government tools can be used to prevent amphibian losses. The international workgroup is trading information with other countries, and the outreach workgroup has set up an Internet site (http:www/frogweb.gov) to disseminate the information. - ---------------End of Original Message----------------- - -------------------------------------------------------- Bill Daniels E-mail: wdaniels@dsc.edu Date: 02/25/99 Time: 13:26:23 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To (un)subscribe to CRUST-L: Send (UN)SUBSCRIBE CRUST-L as the message body to MAJORDOMO@VIMS.EDU.

Biesiot" Subject: CRUST-L: Compiled replies 'whale lice' Thanks to all the members of the list who replied so promptly to the posting about 'whale lice'. I have included the original posting and compiled a listing of the separate replies which were not sent to Crust-L itself. I was forwarded an inquiry from you re. cyamids. I'm no expert, but I have some interest in them. They are ectoparasitic on cetacea. They are in the order Amphipoda, family Caprellidae (their taxonomy is still a little controversial). You can find information on them in Invertebrate Zoology text books, both Barnes and Brusca & Brusca. Also, most natural history of cetacea books will have either a chapter or a portion of a chapter on them. Not a lot is known about their natural history, but apparently they feed on the dried skin of whales and on marine algae (diatoms) that grow on whale skin. It's not known if they're true parasites or grazers on whales. They are not free living so transmission is either through sexual encounters or partruition. Whales can apparently control the densities of cyamids living on them, and old and/or infirm whales tend to have much higher parasite loads. Hope this helps Paul Armstrong University of Hawaii Department of Zoology Honolulu, HI 96822 ____________ From: oshel@terracom.net (Philip Oshel) If you get replies that don't go to the list, please post them in a summary. Cyamids used to be caprellids, but who knows where they've been stashed now. Phil ____________ From: "Wim Vader" Yes, whale lice are indeed amphipods! They belong to the taxon Cyamidea, that is variously considered an own suborder, an infrasuborder under the Caprellidea, or (increasingly) only a superfamily in the same group. Whale lice of course look quite different from the stick-like caprellids, but I suppose if you would squash a caprellid flat and give it lice-like strong subchelate claws on all legs, you would get something quite close to a whale-louse. The small group of a few tens of species has led an isolated existence also in science, with usually just a few people in each generation working on these animals, without much contact with other amphipod workers (such as me). As far as I know the life cycle is quite easy: as the whale-lice are peracarida, they have direct development and the young hatch as young whale-lice, i.e. there is no free-living larval stage. I do not know how new whales get infected, but I suppose it mostly happens by rubbing (Most whales are quite social animals) and under copulation. I recently noted two papers by a dr V.Rowntree, of which one is a popular treatment. It is V.Rowntree, 1993: The louse that moored. - ----Whalewatcher, Journal of the American Cetacean Society 17, 14-17; I have not seen this, but it sounds like the kind of paper you are looking for. The other paper is scientific primary literature: V.Rowntree, 1996. Feeding, distribution, and reproductive behavior of cyamids (Crustacea: Amphipoda) living on humpback and right whales. ---- Canadian Journal of Zoology 74, 103-109, and should answer your remaining questions. I have no address for Dr Rowntree, sorry to say. I hope this will enable you to find the data you search for in time for your teaching. If you get hold of Rowntree 1993, I'd greatly appreciate receiving a copy (address below). sincerely, Wim Vader, Tromsř Museum 9037 Tromsř, Norway wim@imv.uit.no ____________ From: WICKSTEN@bio.tamu.edu Organization: Texas A&M University - Biology Dept Dear Dr. Dunn: See "Feeding Relationship of Two Species of Epizoic Amphipods and the Gray Whale, Eschrichtius robustus", by W.F. Samaras and F.E. Durham, 1985, Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences 84: 113-126. Has very interesting info. on natural history. Mary Wicksten, Texas A&m University ____________ Hello, I noticed the posting regarding cyamids on the CRUST-L listserver. I have been working on cyamid amphipods for several years now. If you have absolutely any questions about the whale-lice, I would be happy to answer them for you. I can be reached at haney@ucla.edu or at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles at (213) 763-3473. Sincerely yours, Todd Haney ____________ You should contact Todd Haney at the University of Charleston. He just finished a master's project on Cyamidae, I believe.

I work on gammaridean amphipods, not caprellideans, but I do have some literature. Much of it is taxonomic; however there are a few papers that talk a little about life history, feeding, etc. If you would like to stop by the Gulf Coast Research Lab in Ocean Springs (Room 108, Howse Oceanography Building), I would be glad to show you what I have and you can copy whatever seems useful to you. If your schedule doesn't permit that, let me know, and I will try to send copies to you. Best wishes, Sara Sara E.

Box 7000 Ocean Springs, MS 39564 USA Phone: (228)872-4214 FAX: (228)872-4204 ____________ Dear Mr. Dunn, Whale lice is a common name for a group of crustaceans that are ectoparasitic to whales and other marine mammals. Ectoparasites attach themselves to the skin of whales feeding on the algae and other detritus on the whales skin. Although, they appear to be extremely uncomfortable and painful to the whale especially in high numbers, whale lice are not true parasites. It's thought that the whale lice can be irritable to the whale and the whale would scrap against a surface, a rock or another whale, as to "scratch" its back to relieve this irritation (similar to if you had an itch on your back). Whale lice are related to related to caprellid (skeleton shrimp) amphipods, most of which are in the amphipod family Cyamidae. Most amphipods are flattened from side to side, opposite to the isopods (ie; pill bugs or "rolly polly's") that are flattened from top to bottom. Other amphipods include those often referred to as "beach fleas" "beach hoppers" or "scuds" So in short, whale lice are a specialized type of caprellid amphipods that are ectoparasitic to whales and other marine mammals. Their classification is as follows: Class: Arthropoda; Phylum: Crustacea; Class: Malacostraca; Order: Amphipoda; Family: (most in the Cyamidae); Genus: (most in Cyamus); species: (one species is squamosa (I think). Hope the above is helpful. Sincerely, Adam ****************************************************** Adam J.

At least three times such an occurrence has been reported in the literature, but the parasite remains undescribed. The known range of P. crassipes is from Oregon to Baja California, but the published records of its infestation are restricted to southern California: Laguna Beach, Anaheim and San Pedro. The parasites seem to have become lost each time, or at least they are untrackable. Several years ago I found a specimen in the accessioned Crustacea collection of the Smithsonian and duly noted its presence. When I was ready to work on it, it, too, had disappeared without a trace. If anyone knows of such a parasite in a collection or chances upon one in the field, I would greatly appreciate hearing of it and would welcome the opportunity to give it a proper description.

 Has anyone out there ever found the eastern Pacific intertidal grapsid crab Pachygrapsus crassipes Randall, 1839, infested with a brachial bopyrid isopod? At least three times such an occurrence has been reported in the literature, but the parasite remains undescribed. The known range of P. crassipes is from Oregon to Baja  California, but the published records of its infestation are restricted to southern California: Laguna Beach, Anaheim and San Pedro. The parasites seem to have become lost each time, or at least they are untrackable. Several years ago I found a specimen in the accessioned  Crustacea collection of the Smithsonian and duly noted its presence. When I was ready to work on it, it, too, had disappeared without a trace. If anyone knows of  such a parasite in a collection or chances upon one in the field, I would greatly appreciate hearing of it and would welcome the opportunity to give it a proper description. Many thanks!

He thought it was more closely related to Nebalia than any of the other 5 leptostracan genera (actually there were only 4 at the time). Hessler also placed Nebaliopsis into its own genus. He felt that the unique morphology of Nebaliopsis sp. was due to their being holopelagic. Most leptostracans are benthic. Were these collections of off deep sea vents, bottom trawls, or deep water plankton tows? Sorry I cannot answer your question directly, I am not sure if Nebaliopsis is a monotypic genus, but I hope the above information helps a little. Best regards, tom Hessler, R. R. 1984.

Already, the first candidate for the 1999 Darwin Awards is circulating on the Net. The Darwin Awards are annually bestowed upon (the remains of) individuals who have given their all in an effort to improve our gene pool. The Darwin Awards applaud those who have made the ultimate sacrifice of killing themselves by the most extraordinarily stupid means. The Awards commemorate those who find innovatively moronic ways of killing themselves, thereby helping to eliminate undesirable weaknesses from the human gene pool. And so, without further ado, the first candidate for '99: MAN DIES IN FREAK ACCIDENT CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (Nov. 13) -- A 39-year-old Charlottesville man died Thursday in a freak accident involving his washing machine. According to police reports, Samuel Randolph Strickson was doing laundry when he tried to speed up the process. Strickson apparently tried to stuff approximately 50 pounds of laundry into his washing machine by climbing on top of the washer and attempting to force the clothing into the basin. Strickson then apparently accidentally kicked the washing machine's ON button. When the machine turned on, Strickson lost his balance and both feet went down into the machine, where they got stuck. The machine started its cycle, and Strickson, unable to free himself, started thrashing around as the machine's agitator went into gear. Strickson's head banged against a nearby shelf in the laundry room, knocking over a bottle of bleach, which poured over Strickson's face, blinding him. Forensic reports say Strickson apparently also swallowed some of the bleach. He then vomited, but was still unable to free himself. Strickson's dog, then apparently came into the laundry room. At about the same time, according to police, a large box of baking soda fell from the shelf, startling the dog, who then urinated. Urine, like vinegar, is acidic, and the chemical reaction between the urine and the baking soda resulted in "a small explosion," according to police reports. The dog, however, escaped unharmed. Strickson remained stuck in the washing machine, which eventually went into its high-speed spin cycle, spinning Strickson round at about 70 miles per hour, according to forensic experts. Strickson's head then smashed against a steel beam behind the washing machine, immediately killing him. A neighbor heard the commotion and called 911, but Strickson was pronounced dead at the scene. GRAVITY KILLS A 22-year-old Reston man was found dead yesterday after he tried to use occy straps (the stretchy little ropes with hooks on each end) to bungee jump off a 70-foot railroad trestle, police said. Fairfax County police said Eric A. Barcia, a fast-food worker, taped a bunch of these straps together, wrapped an end around one foot, anchored the other end to the trestle at Lake Accotink Park, jumped ... and hit the pavement. Warren Carmichael, a police spokesman, said investigators think Barcia was alone because his car was found nearby. "The length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the ground," Carmichael said. Police say the apparent cause of death was "major trauma." An autopsy is scheduled for later in the week. ******** LAUNCHED ON THE FOURTH OF JULY ... Three young men visiting Oklahoma were enjoying the coming Fourth of July holiday and wanted to apparently test fire some fireworks. Their only real problem was that their launch pad and seating arrangements were atop a several hundred thousand gallon fuel distillation storage tank. Oddly enough, some fumes were ignited, producing a fireball seen for miles and miles. They were launched, no doubt, countless thousands of feet into the air and were found dead 50 yards from their respective seats. ******** DON'T ASK GOD TO PROVE HIMSELF, HE JUST MIGHT... A lawyer [ ! ] and two of his buddies were fishing on Caddo Lake in Texas. A lightning storm hit the lake and most of the fisherman immediately headed for the shore. But not our friend the lawyer. He was alone on the rear of his aluminum bass boat and his buddies were in the front. This gentleman stood up, spread his arms wide (crucifixion style) and shouted: "HERE I AM LORD, LET ME HAVE IT!" Needless to say, God delivered [well, you would, wouldn't you?]. The other two passengers on the boat survived and are said to have immediately joined the Ministry. ******** CATCH! A man in Alabama died from rattlesnake bites. Big deal you may say, but there's a twist here that makes him a candidate. It seems he and a friend were playing catch with a rattlesnake. You can guess what happened from here. The friend (a future Darwin Awards candidate) was hospitalized. ******** THEY SAY THOSE THINGS WILL KILL YOU . . . Not much was given to me on this unlucky fellow, but he qualifies nonetheless. You see, there was a gentleman from Korea who was killed by his cell phone ..more or less. He was doing the usual "walking and talking" when he walked into a tree and managed to somehow break his neck. Keep that in mind the next time you decide to drive and dial at the same time. ******** GIMME A LIGHT! Several years ago, in a west Texas town, employees in a medium-sized warehouse noticed the smell of a gas leak. Sensibly, management evacuated the building, extinguishing all potential sources of ignition-lights, power, etc. After the building had been evacuated, two technicians from the gas company were dispatched. Upon entering the building, they found they had difficulty navigating in the dark. To their frustration, none of the lights worked. Witnesses later described the vision of one of the technicians reaching into his pocket, and retrieving an object that resembled a lighter. Upon operation of the lighter-like object, the gas in the warehouse exploded, sending pieces of it up to three miles away. Nothing was found of the technicians, but the lighter was virtually Untouched by the explosion. The technician that was suspected of causing the explosion had never been thought of as "bright" by his peers. ******** Runner-Up: Vermont native, Ronald Demuth, found himself in a difficult position yesterday. While touring the Eagle's Rock African Safari (Zoo) with a group of thespians from St. Petersburg, Russia, Demuth went over board to show them one of America's many marvels. He demonstrated the effectiveness of "Crazy Glue" ... the hard way. Apparently, Demuth wanted to demonstrate just how good the adhesive was, so he put about 3 ounces of the adhesive in the palms of his hands, and jokingly placed them on the buttocks of a passing rhino. The rhino, a resident of the zoo for the past thirteen years, was not initially startled as it has been part of the petting exhibit since its arrival as a baby. However, once it became aware of its being involuntarily stuck to Demuth, it began to panic and ran around the petting area wildly making Demuth an unintended passenger. "Sally (the rhino) hasn't been feeling well lately. She had been very constipated. We had just given her a laxative and some depressants to relax her bowels, when Demuth played his juvenile prank," said James Douglass, caretaker. During Sally's tirade two fences were destroyed, a shed wall was gored, and a number of small animals escaped. Also, during the stampede, three pygmy goats and one duck were stomped to death. As for Demuth, it took a team of medics and zoo caretakers over four hours to remove his hands from the rhino's buttocks. First, the animal had to be captured and calmed down. However, during this process the laxatives began to take hold and Demuth was repeatedly showered with over 30 gallons of rhino diarrhea. "It was tricky. We had to calm her down, while at the same time shield our faces from being pelted with rhino dung. I guess you could say that Demuth was into it up to his neck. Once she was under control, we had three people with shovels working to keep an air passage open for Mr. Demuth. We were able to tranquilize her and apply a solvent to remove his hands from her rear," said Douglass. "I don't think he'll be playing with Crazy Glue for a while." meanwhile, the Russians, while obviously amused, also were impressed with the power of the adhesive. "I'm going to buy some for my children, but of course they can't take it to the zoo," commented Vladimir Zolnikov, leader of the troupe. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To (un)subscribe to CRUST-L: Send (UN)SUBSCRIBE CRUST-L as the message body to MAJORDOMO@VIMS.EDU.

Costello" Subject: CRUST-L: Species list and zooplankton taxonomists The project 'European Register of Marine Species' (web site ) is producing (a) lists of all marine species in European seas, and compiling (b) a database of experts in the identification of marine species, and (c) bibliography of identification guides and associated literature. Species list with authorities Drafts lists of several species groups are on the web site and more are ready to be launched. All species have their taxonomic authority. List presentation and content will be standardised and improved during this summer, and completed by October 1999. We hope the species lists prove useful to people looking for species names, authorities, and key literature. Experts in species identification and taxonomy There are over 1200 'experts' in the database and they are all being written to at present to verify their experise. This information will also be provided on the web by the end of the year. If people need contacts we may be able to assist before then although it would have to be remembered that our current information may not be correct. If you do not receive a letter or email from us by the end of March and have expertise in the identification of marine species please let us know so we can add you to the database. The purpose of the database is to enable an analysis of gaps in marine identification expertise in Europe, and assist networking between taxonomists and species identification experts in Europe.

Hello, I need help identifying a shrimp. I bought a shrimp at my local store the other day for my reef tank (normally don't buy things that I don't know ID of but he was reef safe judging from his tankmates, and he looked a bit different than the normal shrimps I see there (lysmata, rhynchocinetes, stenopus etc)...I also rule out from pictures in books monkey shrimp, harlequin shrimp, and anemone shrimp. The store thought it might be a pistol shrimp (alpheus) but its claws are equal size, and I've not heard any snapping yet... okay, that said, I don't have an atlas and could use any help your expertise might have. description: about 2" long, mostly red in color, white round markings down side along thorax. Tail has blue along/under posterior edge. Antennae are candy-cane striped alternating red/white like a barber pole. behavior: he has dug himself a burrow in the corner of my tank and seems to never be satisfied with it...sets himself and then just churns his legs like nuts..sand goes everywhere. thanks, any help appreciated. mike coats st. louis, MO - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- J.

I'm getting estimates of 1-11% which I believe are too low (5-12% for Carcinus maenas, 14-35% for Panulirus cygnus). Anyone have any experience with this or with the amaranth yellow technique of Smith and Ratcliffe (1983)? Just a thought: what about using changes in blood osmolality (from injections) to measure blood volume? I've noticed a significant negative correlation between the difference in osmolality (pre - post, and post - injection) and wet weight.

I don't have the records at my fingertips but I believe a Thelohania sp. or an Ameson sp. have been reported from C. maenas, and another genus, Abelospora, was reported from C. mediterraneus. [I have these refs but am away for two more weeks.] Overstreet has shown that microsporans (Ameson michaelis ex Callinectes sapidus) can be spread through cannibalism. I tried feeding Portunus pelagicus some meat infected with Ameson but didn't get transmission. Given that cannibalism is relatively widespread among the carnivorous crabs, it's surprising to me that the prevalence of microsporan parasites is so low (0.1-1% is typical, but it can go higher). In casual conversation, some have suggested that most hosts are refractory. Yet, I believe Overstreet (1978, or 1983?) found that most crabs fed infected meat became infected. I wonder if transmission via cannibalism follows the same types of epidemiological models as spread via sexual contact which are quite different from your typical contact models (i.e., influenza). Good topic for a grad student? I doubt that the gregarine, ciliate, rhizocephalan, turbellarian and isopod parasites/symbionts could be transmitted via cannibalism. The dinoflagellate is a possibility but it hasn't been explored (it's reportedly rare in C. maenas, see my comments below). The trematodes are probables as some trematodes use several hosts, and are transmitted up the food chain. The nemertean could migrate to the new host under the right conditions (transfers at molt, and sexually transmitted in Cancer magister). Bacterial infections could likely be transmitted as Vibrio is a common inhabitant in crustaceans and is frequently reported from their stomachs. Surprisingly Vibrio is common in the hemolymph of Callinectes (from 75-85% of immediately captured crabs). I've seen some rather brutal punctures of the stomach wall in a number of different crab species. There's certain to be plenty of avenues for entry when eating chitinized friends. ;-) Cheers, Jeff > Micrococcus sp. > Myxosporidia sp.

It's quite possible that the parasite could survive seawater exposure to reinfect another crab. H. perezi is reportedly rare in C. maenas. Chatton and Poisson (1931) found 3 infected crabs out of 3500. Perhaps they had the wrong host as the velvet crab fishery was virtually annihilated by Hematodinium (perezi?) in the mid 1980s (Wilhelm & Miahle, 1996?). > Spelotrema sp. > Distomum sp. > Toeniella carcini > Fecampia erythrocephala > Sacculina carcini > Portunion maenadis > Carcinonemertes carcinophila =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To (un)subscribe to CRUST-L: Send (UN)SUBSCRIBE CRUST-L as the message body to MAJORDOMO@VIMS.EDU.

The programme "Master of Science in Aquaculture" is a two years' programme at university level covering the most important aspects of the farming of marine and freshwater organisms. The M.Sc. is taught in English and is open to holders of a bachelor's degree in exact or applied sciences. Aim of the programme This programme aims to train researchers to perform and supervise research in various field of aquaculture; to train experts who can draw and implement strategies for future development in the aquaculture industry; to train key persons who can act as a nucleus in their local environment through dissemination and teaching their acquired knowledge. Programme In the first semester basic knowledge in biology, physiology, microbiology, statistics, informatics is broadened/refreshed. The second semester and the second year focus on specific aspects of aquaculture: larval culture, production techniques, hygiene & disease control. The whole first semester of the second year students follow the MSc programme of the Agricultural University of Wageningen in the Netherlands as an exchange programme with the University of Ghent. In the last semester thesis work is performed at one of the participating universities. Admission The program is open to holders of an undergraduate degree in aquaculture, biology, agronomy, veterinary medicine, or any related area from a recognized College or University. Scholarships The VLIR (Flemish Interuniversity Council) issues a limited number of grants to students from developing countries as listed by the OECD. Since the number of requests for these ICP grants exceeds by far the number of grants available, and since only a restricted number of nationalities can receive a scholarship, we strongly advise you not to rely exclusively on this source of funding and to actively explore all other potential sources (e.g. your own government, FAO, UNIDO, UNESCO, World Bank, service clubs etc.). Application Interested students can request application forms (both for academic acceptance as for the ICP-scholarship) by mail or email via Jean Dhont, MSc Course Coordinator (address below).

Currently I am interested in EU member states but later we will involve other countries EEA. The projects are: 1. "STUDY OF THE COASTAL SHRIMP STOCKS IN EUROPE: STATE OF POPULATIONS AND SOCIO-ECONOMICS" which will deal with the dynamics of the populations of various species (different species per country) and the related socio-economics i.e. fisheries, aquaculture, lagoon management, CZM, pollution etc. For this project, all European littoral countries are invited. 2. "STUDY OF THE STATE AND EXPLOITATION OF THE NORTH MEDITERRANEAN LAGOON SYSTEMS" which will deal with the current state of the lagoons and estuaries in North Mediterranean including socio-economics i.e. environmental degradation, trophic webs, fishery-aquaculture production, agriculture, modelling etc. In both projects, negotiations will follow to define the exact contents and tasks among the participants as well as budgets, if there will be any interest from you. This call of interest will be open until April 15 since the 1st call is in June and the 2nd is in October. Any interested institute or company (only; for now) please return to me FUUL ADDRESS AND CORRESPONDENCE data and the project that you are interested in participating.

The new Professor will benefit from laboratory facilities at the Marine Station in Arcachon (60 km from the main campus of Bordeaux 1 University in Talence), in order to conduct research in comparative and environmental Physiology/Biochemistry on aquatic (marine, estuarine or freshwater) invertebrates or vertebrates. This research is intended not only to contribute to ongoing knowledge of adaptive responses of organisms and populations to ambient conditions, but also to serve a better understanding of the processes of contamination of organisms by toxicants from the environment. Applicants should have been previously engaged in productive high level research activity on the interactions between organisms and the environment, particularly in studies of transfer processes : respiratory gas exchange, or osmotic and ionic regulations, or gut absorption of nutriments=85. Efforts to apply such basic work to the understanding of the mechanisms of toxicant accumulation and biological effects will be appreciated. The new Professor will be a member of the CNRS-supported " Laboratoire d'Ecophysiologie et Ecotoxicologie des Syst=E8mes Aquatiques " (LEESA). With other researchers at the University of Bordeaux 1 and in the Marine Station at Arcachon, this laboratory is contributing to interdisciplinary approaches of the functioning and dysfunctioning of littoral and continental aquatic ecosystems. Strong interactions between the work conducted by the new Professor and ecotoxicological research will be encouraged, as they are deemed essential to arrive at a better understanding of contamination processes, both at organismal, populational and food chain levels. The new Professor will have to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in General and Comparative animal Biology and Physiology. He will also be asked to participate in high level Summer Schools at the Marine Station. A good teaching experience and a fluent practice of the French language will be required.

The course is described below. Interested persons should contact Tim Miller (temiller@maine.edu) to register and get further details re housing, etc. The Darling Marine Center is situated in mid-coast Maine and has a wonderful warm climate in July. For any other information about the course, etc., contact Jim Lowry (jiml@amsg.austmus.gov.au) or Les Watling (watling@maine.edu). DELTA Data bases for Crustaceans The aim of this workshop is to bring together a group of malacostracan systematists to develop morphological data bases for malacostracan groups or other crustaceans using the DELTA (Descriptive Language for Taxonomy) System. These data bases will be used to generate illustrated interactive keys, at least down to family level taxa, for all groups of malacostracans. It is anticipated that the interactive key systems will be ready to put on the web within 12-18 months of the workshop. During the first week you will learn the basics of the DELTA system. The second week will be spent developing specific data bases. The participants will need a fast notebook computer running Windows 90-something or NT. They will need to bring dichotomous keys for the groups they specialize in and plenty of pictures.

Costello" <mcostello@ecoserve.ie> Subject: CRUST-L: Funding to do research in Iceland TMR-supported research at the Sandgerdi Marine Centre in Iceland. The third deadline for proposals from European researchers wishing to undertake short-term research visits (up to 12 weeks) to the Large-Scale Facility Sandgerdi Marine Centre in Iceland will be the 1th of May 1999. Travelling cost, lodging and subsistence at the SMC is covered directly by the LSF-project under the EU's Training and Mobility of Researchers (TMR) Programme. All scientists from the EU and associated states (Norway, Liechtenstein and Israel) except from Iceland may submit proposals The SMC is located in Sandgerdi, a small fishing village on the southwest coast of Iceland (50 km from the capital city, Reykjavik) with excellent facilities for work in a friendly atmosphere. The main attraction of the SMC is access to the unique collection of benthic invertebrates from the international BIOICE project (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters) which has been operated since 1992. During this time more than 1000 samples have been systematically collected in Icelandic waters, at depths from 20 to 2400m. The collection of samples is still in progress. Most samples have been sorted to 160 of the major taxa of benthic invertebrates. The collection of benthic animals at the SMC offer a wide variety of possible research projects, including studies on taxonomy, phylogeny, zoogeography, and biodiversity of benthic communities in the Arctic and the North Atlantic Oceans. The SMC is equipped with standard high quality laboratory instruments (microscopes with camera, videocamera, computers, etc) and running seawater of exceptionally high quality originating from a 50m deep well in the lava-beds. The contaminant-free seawater offer unique possibilities for experimental work with marine organisms, like studies on toxicology, physiology, behaviour and other general marine biological studies under controlled conditions. Access to Scanning Electronic Microscope is available at the University of Iceland, Reykjavik Collecting opportunities The seashore around the lab harbours a great variety of shore organisms that are easily attainable during low tide (approximately 3.5 m tidal range). A small research vessel equipped with a wide variety of sampling gear (grabs, dredges, nets etc.) is available. For further information and application forms see our web site http://www.hi.is/pub/smc or contact the Project Manager of the Sandgerdi Marine Centre: Mr. Gudmundur V.

I have noticed somthing similar happening to a number of freshwater crayfish, (Cherax destructor), while keeping them in Townsville, Far North Queensland, Australia, however not in speciemens kept in Brisbane. Perhaps the bacteria/fungus is a tropical water borne pathogen, and my be controlled, at least in part by reducing the water temperature. The disease seems the same with brown/tan patches appearing in the exoskeleton, eventually turning black in the centre, which are distinct holes in the exoskeleton, leading to death. Again often when attempting to moult. I have examined the exoskeleton of a couple of 'victims' and the brown areas seem to be being eaten away, perhaps as you suggest by a chitinolytic bacteria. Unfortunately I am unable to be of further help to you avout possible treatment for the problem, but wish you luck with it.

Shell disease is primarily a disease of crustaceans subjected to stress. High stocking density, long term confinement, or environmental pollutants have been implicated as stressors of shell disease in blue crabs and other decapods (Rosen, 1967). Shell disease is caused by chitinoclastic bacteria. Beneckea was once implicated but I think the taxonomy of the chitinoclastic forms has undergone some significant revision. I have seen shell disease in a number of different crabs and lobsters. There are a number of reports indicating an association with pollutants; water quality was a definite causal factor in the systems I've worked with (Callinectes, and Portunus). It's not surprising that some species have more problems with shell disease. For example, species differences are extreme with fungal infections of crayfish. The ability to penetrate through the carapace and the host response are factors that determine pathogenicity. I believe molt death is common as the lesions penetrate through the old carapace and cause additional damage to the new carapace. The actual mechanism for molt death as a result of shell disease hasn't been well examined. Re your friend's finger: ouch! I've had some painful lesions from chitinous spines. Is it possible that your friend suffered a severe cell-mediated allergic response to the chitin? Several Vibrio species can cause serious problems in humans, but there are other genera that could also be involved (Clostridium, Mycobacterium, etc.). Some of these are notoriously difficult to isolate, enrich, and treat. BTW, I've heard that some reef-dwelling stomatopods have excellent color vision. Is this true? A reference or two would be appreciated. Cheers, Jeff Rosen, B. 1967. Shell disease of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus. J. Invertebr. Pathol. 9: 348-353. >Odontodactylus scyllarus plagued >with a disease that eventually digests large areas of the dorsal cuticle >and ultimately is lethal.

Hoekstra" <hugo@greed.nl> Subject: CRUST-L: damaged exoskeleton / filter shrimp Hello everyone, I'm new to this mailinglist which I now found incidentally after I long searched for shrimp information. I have a filter shrimp (finally identified as an Atyopsis species) which part of the exoskeleton desintegrated, or broke off, due to disease or maybe accident, showing the white flesh. It seemed to get bigger but didn't hinder the shrimp as he continued his daily activities as normal. When I noticed this I thought it would regenerate again by the next molt. This was 2 days ago, but that part is still missing. Does it take more molts to recover? I noticed that the molts are irregular. Is this normal, how many time is supposed to be between molts? And another burning question which I have had since I bought it 1 year ago. What is the preferred way of keeping them, single, pairs or groups? Any other feedback about the care are also welcome. I found literature has nothing about shrimps but recipies. :( Thanks, Hugo Hoekstra =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To (un)subscribe to CRUST-L: Send (UN)SUBSCRIBE CRUST-L as the message body to MAJORDOMO@VIMS.EDU.

I jusr recently (about 3 weeks ago) received a copy of this same book that I ordered from a dealership in India that I found via Bibliofind (http://WWW.BIBLIOFIND.COM/), a very user-friendly and powerful 2nd-hand book search engine. I paid $25 US for it - a fair price, I thought - only to find when it got here that it was a very bizarre Indian 'pressing' from 1987, with the cover almost torn off. The book itself is *identical* to the pressing my supervisor has (1st or 2nd edition, I think), right down to the point where I'd almost think they'd put a new cover on an old copy: same paper, same typesetting, etc. In fact, the last page says 'Bradbury, Agnew & Co., Printers, Whitefriars', even though the frontspiece says 'New Gian Offset Printers'. So I'm undecided about this. It's a wonderful book, and I'm delighted with having a copy of it at last; but I'm not impressed with unknowingly purchasing what I'm almost certain is an illegal copy.

With the crayfish _Cherax destructor_ (our yabby), the term juvenile refers to animals between 5 and 20 g if you are a farmer in South Australia, but generally under 5 g if you are in Victoria. For my research, I adopted the term hatchling for anything up to 1 g. (in the yabby, only the first two moults post hatching have distinguishable form from an adult, and all the other typical decapod stages occur within the egg) I hope this doesn't muddy the water any further!

As I recall from early papers on this topic it was already in the 50:ies -80:ies rather complicated (maybe even confused). Williamson (1969) made a notable attempt to structure the discussion and classified the post embryonic stages of Decapoda and Euphausiacea as follows: Naplius: Larva with first three pairs of cephalic appendages setose and functional, other appendages absent or rudimentary. Zoea: Larva with natatory exopods on some or all of thoracic appendages, pleopods absent or rudimentary. Megalopa: larva with setose natatory pleopods on some or all of abdominal somites 1-5 (often called decapodit stage); Juvenile: young form, usually small and sexually immature, showing general resemblance to adult. The reference to the paper is Williamson, D. I., (1969). Names of larvae of Decapoda and Euphausiacea. Crustaceana. 16, (2), 210-213. Cheers Bo Bo I.

I will be traveling to Japan to collect living specimens from a number of palinurid genera. In addition, I am trying to find out whether I might collect Projasus bahamondei in Chile. So, I have a few questions... In Japan: (1) Does anyone know of scientists and/or fisherpeople who I might contact and potentially visit to find: Justitia japonica, Linuparus trigonus, Palinustus waguensis, Puerulus angulatus; (2) How can I acquire collecting permits in Japan and does Japan allow exports of scientific specimens? In Chile: (1) Does anyone know of scientists/fisherpeople in Chile, around Juan Fernandez and Atacama who might be able to send me specimens of Projasus bahamondei? Supposedly, they are most often collected in trawls for Heterocarpus reedi. (2) Any ideas about whether permits are required to import specimens from Chile to the U.S.A.? Thanks very much!

I really get a kick out of them. Problem is I can't find a scientific name on them and no information on them. I can tell the difference between the male and female (the big claw) but I would like to know how do they breed? Do they ever do it in captivity? Do they lay eggs? On ground or in the water? How long do they take to hatch? I have mine in a 5 gallon fish tank with a pump, plants, and lots of rocks to hide in. I keep feeder fish and ghost shrimp in there and they disappear periodically. I also feed them shrimp pellets, crab food, and algea wafers. Does this all sound right? Sorry so many questions at one time, but......

They do breed readily in captivity, and the female carries the embryos underneath until the larvae hatch out. It sounds from your description as if they are submerged in water full time. These crabs are intertidal and are generally active when the tide is out during which time they run about on the marsh, feed etc. I wouldn't think that they would be very happy submerged in water all the time. 1880's: "There's lots of good fish in the sea" W.S.

Yes - both right and left lacinia mobilis are present. I suspect this observation will prove to be the case for such a plesiomorphic feature of the peracarideans. You should study the embryos to determine how soon after differentiation of the mandible that the lacinia appears. By the way, right lacina mobilis is a plesiomorphic feature of some peracarideans - it is present in the ingroup ancestral node of isopods, and is also seen in the Spelaeogriphacea. Chances are that the right and left lacinia are not bilaterally homologous, as these have different structures and may appear at different places in the peracaridean cladogram. Ultimately, however, they are modifed members of the spine row (cf. paper by Dahl & Hessler some years ago). But I digress - - the other peracaridean folk will have to weigh in with more info on the lacinia in little peracarideans. Cheers Buz Wilson Australian Museum Centre for Evolutionary Research & Div.

Presently I am trying to get good quality gDNA out of about 3 mm2 of crayfish uropod. However, the yields I am obtaining are quite low, or in some instances non-existant. The methods I have tried are along the lines of a standard phenol-chloroform extraction based on a proteinase K digestion using both SDS and CTAB. Sometimes when I do get gDNA it is sheared and appears degraded. Unfortunately, I only have uropods to work with at the moment and I am at a loss to explain why I get such low yields when a similar amount of fish fin tissue yields heaps. I suspect that perhaps the tissue is being prevented from being Prot K digested by the chiton exoskeleton. One idea I had to test this was to add some chitinase to the initial digest. However, our lab does not have any on hand and I am reluctant to buy any before I hear from other people that may have had similar troubles.

One indirect way to test this is by comparing density of schoolers and non-schoolers among pelagic species. The proposal is that schoolers can afford to be denser if they get an energy subsidy from the group while non-schoolers would have to reduce density by some other means. Hence I would like to get data on density of as many planktonic/pelagic species within the rough size range 1-6cm as possible, and also, if known, whether they aggregate. If you have data or know where I could get it I would be very grateful. Sincerely, David Ritz D.A.

I never heard about crab behavior of removing nematocysts from a jellyfish. Can you say more or give the reference? A confusion with the xanthid crab Lybia tessellata (Latreille, 1812) using sea anemone genus Bunodeopsis as a defensive weapon ? Related with that subject, it can be remembered also that Majidae are known to "decorate" with a variety of organisms (algae, bryozoa, sponges, ascidia ... and maybe also hydrozoa and others cnidarians with nematocysts).

Macropodia species and Inachus, have been found to "snuggle up" to large sea anemones, and they apprently derive protection from this association. Dr Hartnoll at Isle of Man published a small paper. The relationship of an amphipod and a spider crab with the Snakelocks anemone in the Reports of the Marine Biological Station of Port Erin 83, 1971, 37-42; the spider crab here was Inachus.=20 Ben Schrieken wrote a most intriguing paper in a Dutch popular journal, De Levende Natuur 68, 1965, 276-279 (in Dutch), called (Spider crabs and sea anemones), in which he described a special behaviour of Macropodia in contact with Anemonia. I myself have seen both nortern Hyas species, as well as lithodes, snuggle up to Actinostola and Bolocera spp in large aquaria, and in the case of Bolocera also in underwater photographs. In all these cases sea anemones with long tentacles seem to be preferred, and the crabs are often found snuggled up against the outer colum, and partly hidden by the overhanging tentacles. The crabs no doubt derive mainly protection from this facultative association. The observations of Macropodia "stealing" nematocysts from Aurelia are completely new to me, and I hope other subscribers are able to tell more about these.

I think there is also a nudibranch that feeds on cnidarians and assimilates the nematocysts for it's own defence. Both examples were probably lecturers' illustrations in undergrad. courses several years ago, so I don't have any further details, but perhaps this will jog someone else's memory about such examples.

That benthic crabs can be associated with pelagic jellyfish does not surprise me too much, as Libinia dubia in North Carolina (USA) can be found "riding" underneath the bell of the cannonball jellyfish (Stomolophus meleagris), and Williams (1984; Shrimps, Lobsters and Crabs of the Atlantic coast, Smithsonian Press) describes a number of additional Libinia-jellyfish associations from along the east and Gulf coasts of the United States. Regarding crabs removing nematocysts from jellyfish, it seems to me that individual nematocysts are kind of small for crabs to remove them from jellyfish and attach to their carapace-- perhaps they are able to affix tentacles or other jellyfish structures that CONTAIN large densities of undischarged nematocysts? For example, off the North Carolina coast in about 85-90 feet of water there are large majids (Stenocionops furcata) that I've only seen at night, but that cover their legs and carapaces with small white sea anemones (Calliactis tricolor, I think). I don't think much is really known about the ecology of this behavior although but it seems like it could be defensive. Cuttress et al (1970; Can. J. Zool 48(2): 371-376) describe how crabs stroke the anemones to get them to release from the primary substrate so they can attach them intact to their carapaces. The "decorator crab" scenario I am most familiar with is one I've examined in some detail between Libinia dubia and the brown seaweed Dictyota menstrualis (Stachowicz and Hay 1999, Ecology 80:495-509). The crab preferentially places this chemically noxious seaweed on its carapace, gaining increased protection from predators relative to crabs with other types of camouflage materials. The chemical in the alga that deters feeding by potential crab predators also stimulates decoration behavior in these crabs, so in effect the crabs behaviorally sequester the chemical defenses of the alga. To return to the orginial post, if anyone has more information on how Macropodia can "steal" nematocysts from Aurelia, I also would be VERY interested to hear about it. Regards, Jay John J.

These cerataspis-critters are looking quite peculiar: in the head region of the carapace, dorsal of the eyes, the larvae are bearing two large, caudally curved processes, the appearance of which reminds me of a goat or a little devil. The adults may be living in the abyssal zone; the last three mysis stages are probably located at the surface. For further information see: BONNIER, J.

We are looking for applicants for a NERC/BBSRC PhD studentship at Leeds University. Supervisors: Alison Dunn & Mel Hatcher (University of Leeds) & Jaimie Dick (Queen's University, Belfast). Project summary. Ecologists are currently interested in the role that parasites play in determining community structure. Parasites can mediate competition between host species and may be important in determining the outcome of biological invasions. European amphipod communities have been subject to a number of anthropogenic introductions in the last 50 years. Novel species have been introduced as fish food and via ship bilge waters and have spread from their original point of introduction, in some cases displacing native amphipods and driving local populations extinct. These invasions poses a serious threat to amphipod and other benthic species diversity. The student will investigate the role of parasitism in these biological invasions using field surveys, laboratory study and mathematical modelling. 1. The student will measure parasite diversity, prevalence and burden in native and invading amphipods from control and invaded field sites in England, Ireland and The Netherlands. 2. Laboratory experiments will be used to measure the effects of parasitism on the growth, fecundity and survival of native and invading host species and to provide insight into the mechanisms underlying competitive displacement. 3. Data from field and laboratory experiments will be used to quantify and develop mathematical models of host-host-parasite dynamics and to predict the outcome of current invasions. At Leeds we have strong track records in Ecology & Evolution and in Parasitology. The student will also benefit from ecological expertise in Belfast and from our collaborative links in The Netherlands. The student will learn a range of techniques including field sampling, animal breeding, parasite detection and manipulation, mathematical modelling. The student will spend a few months working with Jaimie Dick at Queen's University, Belfast and may visit our collaborator Prof. F. Schram, University of Amsterdam. Applications should include a cv, statement of research interests and completed application form and should reach us by June 1st 1999.

Hello, This is to tell you that we recently worked on moulting problems in lobster and that beside the usual hormonal question we found that the blood oxygenation status, just prior to ecdysis, is likely related to an efficient moult. There is in fact a deep transitory hypoxia that is caused by an enhanced diffusion barrier for oxygen at the gill level as well as a deterioration in pumping efficiency of the scaphognathites. This transient hypoxia directly acts, via the CNS, on the pyloric chamber activity which also, as you know, undergoes cuticle replacement during ecdysis. The consequence is that the pyloric chamber exhibits a special motor pattern at that time. We suggested that its role could be:=20 1-to compress the old pyloric cuticle into the lumen of the pyloric chamber and thereby facilitate its eventual extrusion and=20 2-to sever contact with the more posterior non-moulting midgut. I do not know what are the conditions with your larvae but may be it could help. Here are the references: Clemens, S., Massabuau, J.-C., Meyrand, P., Simmers, J.

Yet, don't the molting hormones regulate Ca or regulate the factors that control Ca during the molt cycle? They found that molt deaths decreased when lobster were fed a diet richer in lecithin. I've an interest in this subject, so please send your responses to the list or to me privately.

I need to make a review on regulation of digestive enzymes gene expression on crustaceans and the hormonal regulation of these enzymes too. Everything that I've found was on insects and mammalians. Plese, does anyone know where could I find these informations? Thank you Crust-lers. *************************************** CIBNOR-Biochemistry Lab Cristiane de Albuquerque Cavalcanti PhD student Km 1 Carr.

This discovery, which we reported in the April 15, 1999 issue of Nature, very neatly explains the differences we see in reaction times. I particularly liked this project because it refutes the dogma that "invertebrates don't have myelin", but now we have shown that more inverts than verts have it, and also because I always knew that crustaceans ruled the world! Heuser and Doggenweiler have a great 1966 paper showing that some of the large axons in Palaemonetes ventral connectives have a myelin-like sheath (J Exp Biol 30:381-403). Govind and Pearce (1988, J Comp Neurol 268:121-130) report myelinated axons in snapping shrimp. We would like to know if there are any other reports out there of myelin in any other crustaceans and if anyone has made an attempt to look at the evolution of myelin-like sheaths in crusties (or any other invert, for that matter). We don't want to overlook anyones work. These two papers do a good job of describing the structure of the sheaths but we would like to know if anyone has done any more recent ultrastructural work on them. I'm also finding out that these sheaths have shown up in ultrastructural studies and haven't been recognized as such because they look just like a well-known artifact of fixation for TEM. I myself overlooked 'em for nearly 10 years in the copepods. So if you have some funny stuff in your micrographs, this is a good time to go back and look at them again! And we are also interested in finding the most current decent evolutionary tree for the malacostraca, since it seems to be updated frequently.

Mold Death Syndrome occurs also in Penaeus monodon culture, especially under stress conditions. It was my understanding that mold death syndrome can be partially solved by adding more cholesterol in the diet and by a more balanced Ca/P ratio of the diet. Of course, this is more difficult to control in larval culture but the cause could be the same : Too much Calcium compared to Phosphorus, or not enough hormone (either caused by a lack of the precursor cholesterol, or by a poluttant which is interfering with the hormones). Adding lecithin to the diet will certainly help since most crustaceans have a requirement for phospholipids. Apart from being a source of Phosphorus, it improves the digestibility of cholesterol, and it also improves the digestibility of poly-unsaturated fatty acids, which in turn will increase the stress resistance of the animal. I hope this helps in the discussion, Eric De Muylder VDS bvba Paanderstraat 40 8540 Deerlijk Belgium Phone (VDS) : (32) 56 71 91 68 Phone (direct) : (32) 56 72 30 12 Fax : (32) 56 72 30 02 e-mail : vds.bvba@skynet.be Web : http://users.skynet.be/vds/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To (un)subscribe to CRUST-L: Send (UN)SUBSCRIBE CRUST-L as the message body to MAJORDOMO@VIMS.EDU.
