The toxicity of formalin and trifluralin to the larval stages of the mud crab Scylla serrata was compared in a static bioassay. Prophylactic doses of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 μg L−1 formalin and 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 μg L−1 trifluralin were used. Toxicity was assessed on the basis of survival of larvae after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h exposure to the test chemicals and metamorphosis to the next larval stage. Result shows that larval survival in all stages was significantly reduced at concentrations of 20 and 25 μg L−1 formalin whereas larvae were able to tolerate all trifluralin treatments. However, larvae became more tolerant to high formalin concentrations as the larval stage progressed. Survival was better at 5, 10 and 15 μg L−1 formalin and in all trifluralin treatments than the control in almost all the larval stages. Faster metamorphosis was observed at 5 and 10 μg L−1 formalin and 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 μg L−1 trifluralin concentrations. Doses of formalin and trifluralin obtained ...

The red land crab Gecarcoidea natalis (Pocock 1888) is endemic to Christmas Island, Indian Ocean, where it inhabits the rainforest, often more than 200 m above and 5 km distant from the ocean (e.g. Green, 1997; Adamczewska and Morris, 2001a). In common with other gecarcinid crabs, G. natalis undertakes an annual breeding migration but this is a significantly longer trek to the ocean for this crab than for most other gecarcinids. Consequently, G. natalis exhibits seasonally dichotomous behaviour and during the dry season these crabs are mostly quiescent within their burrows to avoid desiccation (Green, 1993; Green, 1997). However, within hours of the first monsoonal rain at the start of the wet season the crabs may walk over 1 km day−1 on their migration to the coast (e.g. Adamczewska and Morris, 2001a). Furthermore, since these breeding activities are synchronised with the lunar cycle the migrating red crabs must in some years sustain locomotion for up to 12 h day−1 during 5-6 consecutive ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Characterization of distinct ovarian isoform of crustacean female sex hormone in the kuruma prawn Marsupenaeus japonicus. AU - Tsutsui, Naoaki. AU - Kotaka, Sayaka. AU - Ohira, Tsuyoshi. AU - Sakamoto, Tatsuya. PY - 2018/3/1. Y1 - 2018/3/1. N2 - The eyestalk hormone, crustacean female sex hormone (CFSH), regulates the development of female secondary sexual characteristics in the blue crab Callinectes sapidus. After its discovery, several CFSH gene orthologs have been identified in some species of the suborder Pleocyemata as well. Similarly, in species of another suborder (Dendrobranchiata), an ortholog (Maj-CFSH) has been characterized as an eyestalk factor expressed in both females and males of the kuruma prawn, Marsupenaeus japonicus. In this study, another novel CFSH isoform was identified in the same species using cDNA cloning, expression analysis, and recombinant protein production. The isoform has CFSH-family structural characteristics but is dominantly expressed in the ...

Abstract Two new species and two new records of the family Camptandriidae are reported from mangroves in the southwest coast of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. Paracleistostoma laciniatum, new species, and P. quadratum, new species, differ from congeners in the form of the male first pleopod, which is long and cylindrical in the first species, and short and rounded in the second. Paracleistostoma mcneilli (Ward, 1933) and Baruna trigranulum (Dai and Song, 1986) are recorded for the first time from Indonesian waters.

This study elucidates the effects of chronic pH stress on the growth and metabolic response of juvenile Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis. Crabs were exposed under normal pH (control, pH = 8.0 ± 0.20), low pH (pH = 6.5 ± 0.20), and high pH (pH = 9.5 ± 0.20) in an 8-week trial. Both low and high pH suppressed weight gain but low pH had more adverse effects. No difference was observed on survival, crude lipid, and protein. Acidic stress significantly reduced protein efficiency. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content in hepatopancreas was highest at low pH. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in hepatopancreas and total hemocyte counts (THC) in the stress groups were higher than that in the control. Crabs under high pH had the highest ACP and AKP activities, but there was no significant difference between the control and low pH groups. In the transcriptome analysis, 500.0M clean reads were obtained from the control, low pH, and high pH groups, and assembled into 83,025 transcripts. Kyoto

ABSTRACT: We assessed the potential of fatty acid (FA) markers for tracing primary production from an invasive green alga (Codium fragile ssp. fragile) and a native kelp (Saccharina longicruris) through 2 trophic levels in an experimental food web: a primary consumer, the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, and 2 secondary consumers, the native rock crab Cancer irroratus and invasive green crab Carcinus maenas. Sea urchins fed the 2 algal species had distinct gonadal FA compositions, and contained markers of each alga. Crabs of each species were then fed the gonads of sea urchins which had been fed either S. longicruris or C. fragile, and their hepatopancreases were analyzed. We were able to distinguish crabs of both species with C. fragile at the base of the food chain using the marker FAs 16:3n-3 and 18:3n-3. The overall FA composition of the hepatopancreas differed with diet in the green crab but not the rock crab. Our results suggest that 16:3n-3 may be a useful marker for ...

Abstract Crustaceans groom their olfactory organ, the antennules, by wiping them through a pair of mouthpart appendages. Antennular grooming behavior (AGB) can be stimulated in four different species of lobsters by at least one chemical (l-Glutamate (Glu)) found in food. However the one crab species tested thus far was unresponsive. In an effort to determine whether chemically-mediated AGB in the Reptantia is present only in the Macrura (lobster taxa) and lacking in the Meiura (crab taxa), we tested for AGB to chemical stimuli in seven reptantian species in the taxa Palinura (Palinurus elephas, Scyllarides aequinoctialis, S. nodifer), Astacidea (Enoplometopus debelius, Procambarus clarkii), Brachyura (Hemigrapsus sanguineus), and Anomura (Clibanarius tricolor), and one non-reptantian decapod in the taxon Caridea (Palaemonetes pugio). Because asymmetric setae on the lateral flagella of the antennules are the sole source of chemosensory input driving AGB, we also examined antennules for asymmetric setae

At 5.5 miles in length, the Dungeness Spit is the longest sand spit in North America. It is formed by longshore flow that takes glacial sediments from the bluffs of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and deposits it at the end of the spit as a rate of 13 feet per year. Since the lighthouse was built in 1857, the spit has grown 1/2 of a mile. The entire spit, as well as, its side branch Graveyard Spit and the Dungeness Bay is protected within the boundaries of the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge is home to thousands of sea birds including gulls, brants, loons, sandpipers, plovers, curlews, bald eagles, and terns. In addition, numerous harbor seals hang out on the beaches and near shore waters ...

King crabs are a taxon of crab-like decapod crustaceans chiefly found in cold seas. Because of their large size and the taste of their meat, many species are widely caught and sold as food, the most common being the red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus).. King crabs are generally thought to be derived from hermit crab-like ancestors, which may explain the asymmetry still found in the adult forms. This ancestry is supported by several anatomical peculiarities which are present only in king crabs and hermit crabs.[2] Although some doubt still exists about this theory, king crabs are the most widely quoted example of carcinisation among the Decapoda.[2] The evidence for this explanation comes from the asymmetry of the king crabs abdomen, which is thought to reflect the asymmetry of hermit crabs, which must fit into a spiral shell. Although formerly classified among the hermit crabs in the superfamily Paguroidea, king crabs are now placed in a separate superfamily, Lithodoidea.[1] This is not ...

The parasitic dinoflagellate Hematodinium perezi is highly prevalent in juvenile blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, along the eastern seaboard of the USA. Although the parasite is known to kill adult crabs, the mortality rate of naturally infected juvenile crabs remains unknown. We analyzed the influence of temperature and salinity on the mortality of recently recruited blue crab that were naturally infected with H. perezi. Over 492 juvenile crabs (infected, n=282; uninfected controls, n=210) were held individually in six-well plates and held at six temperatures (4, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 °C) or three salinities (5, 15, and 30 psu) for a maximum of 90 days ...

Elucidating the genetic mechanisms of adaptation to the hydrothermal vent in organisms at genomic level is significant for understanding the adaptive evolution process in the extreme environment. We performed RNA-seq on four different tissues of a vent crab species, Austinograea alayseae, producing 725,461 unigenes and 134,489 annotated genes. Genes related to sensory, circadian rhythm, hormone, hypoxia stress, metal detoxification and immunity were identified. It was noted that in the degenerated eyestalk, transcription of phototransduction related genes which are important for retinal function was greatly reduced; three crucial neuropeptide hormones, one molt-inhibiting and two crustacean hyperglycemic hormone precursors were characterized with conserved domains; hypoxia-inducible factor 1 and two novel isoforms of metallothioneins in the vent crabs were discovered. An analysis of 6,932 orthologs among three crabs A. alayseae, Portunus trituberculutus and Eriocheir sinensis revealed 19 positive

News Release, Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. Waldorf, MD.- After dropping the front end of a scheduled twin bill on Saturday afternoon Southern Maryland had a tall task ahead of them to split the games and end their seven-game losing skid. This got even more difficult when the New Britain Bees posted five runs in the top of the first inning in game two. The Blue Crabs took the challenge head on and climbed the mountain to win a 10-8 thriller.. After losing 4-1 in the first of two games on the afternoon, and having zero comeback wins on the season, the Blue Crabs pulled out a masterpiece of a victory. Tommy Thorpe (ND, 0-0) got his first start of the season in game two of the double header, and didnt get off to the beginning that the squad drew up, allowing five runs, three of which were earned in the first inning alone. ...

Androgenic gland hormone controls male sexual differentiation and maintains male sexual characteristics. In this study, the full-length cDNA sequence of the androgenic gland hormone gene in Eriocheir sinensis (EsIAG) was cloned. The total length of the EsIAG cDNA was 1,495 bp, encoding 151 amino acids. EsIAG has the typical conserved structure of other reported IAGs but had low sequence similarity with other crustacean IAGs. EsIAG was expressed specifically in the androgenic gland. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 from the Chinese mitten crab E. sinensis (EsIGFBP7) was highly expressed in the male sex-related ...

Numerous modulatory fibers control the output of the pyloric and gastric mill neural networks in the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG). We now describe the first results of intracellular recordings from the axon of one of these input neurons, stomatogastric nerve axon 1 (SNAX 1), close to where it enters the STG. SNAX 1 excites both the pyloric and gastric mill rhythms and is identified on the basis of its synaptic interactions with identified STG neurons. SNAX 1 receives synaptic input from several sources within the STG. As a result of these synaptic inputs, SNAX 1 fires bursts of action potentials that are time-locked to both the pyloric and gastric mill rhythms. The synaptic connections made onto the SNAX axon terminals are likely to play important roles in shaping the impulse activity patterns in these modulatory inputs. Thus, the fibers that modulate the pattern- generating networks in the STG are themselves influenced by elements in these networks, and modulation is a dynamic ...

Despite their name, horseshoe crabs are not true crabs. The horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus in popular name called Horseshoe Crab, is the only member of the Arthropoda subclass Xiphosura found in the Atlantic. Unlike true crabs, which have two pairs of antennae, a pair of jaws and five pairs of legs, horseshoe crabs lack antennae and jaws and they have seven pairs of legs, including a pair of chelicerae. Chelicerae are appendages similar to those used by spiders and scorpions for grasping and crushing. In addition, horseshoe crabs have book lungs, similar to spiders and different from crabs, which have gills. Thus, horseshoe crabs are more closely related to spiders and scorpions than they are to other crabs. Their carapace is divided into three sections: the anterior portion is the prosoma; the middle section is the opithosoma; and the tail is called the telson. Horseshoe crabs have two pairs of eyes located on the prosoma: one anterior set of simple eyes and one set of lateral compound ...

The properties of acoustic interneurons in fiddler (Uca pugilalor and U. minax) and ghost (Ocvpade qucldrula) crabs are described, as revealed bv tests with pure tones. Three types of interneurons were present in all species: tonic, which fired for the duration of the stimulus; phasic, which fired briefly at the onset of stimulation; and inhibited, in which ongoing spontaneous activity was suppressed during stimulation. Spectral sensitivities of the cells differed among the species and were matched to the energy composition of the sounds. The combined properties of the cells were suited to resolve the most likely temporal differences between the sounds of each species: pulse repetition rate, sound duration, and interval between successive sounds. None of the cells coded tone frequency. The responses of all cells were suppressed during locomotion (walking) by the preparations. Finally, all interneurons were nonhabituating and in this respect resembled their functional analogues in cricket

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans were isolated from 23 species of 13 phyla of invertebrates and characterized by their electrophoretic migration in three different buffer systems coupled with enzymatic degradation using bacterial heparinase, heparitinases and chondroitinase AC. Heparan sulfate is a ubiquitous compound present in all species analyzed whereas chondroitin sulfate was present in 20 species and heparin-like compounds in 12 species of the invertebrates. the heparin-like compounds were purified from the echinoderm Mellita quinquisperforata (sand dollar) and the crustacean Ucides cordatus (crab) with anticoagulant activities of 60 and 52 IU/mg, respectively. Degradation of these heparins with heparinase produced significant amounts of the trisulfated disaccharide typical of mammalian heparins. This was confirmed by C-13-NMR spectroscopy of the crab heparin. An updated phylogenetic tree of the distribution of sulfated glycosaminoglycans in the animal kingdom is also presented. (C) 2000 ...

Back to the question of whats going on here? The shore crabs did take up microplastics in both types of exposure, but residence time is the key. They were able to clear the microplastics they got through dietary means, but they were still trying to clear microplastics they took up during ventilation almost a month later. The authors constructed a model to explain the mechanism of the movement of the microplastics. They found that the crabs tended to exhibit an asymmetry in microplastic uptake in the gills, which they attributed to the pumping mechanism of the scaphognathite being more dominant on one side of the gill chamber. Also, the posterior gills have a larger surface area than the anterior gills so they are more likely to take up microplastics into their lamellae. The crabs were unable to dislodge the tiny particles by normal gill cleaning actions. It is interesting that no microspheres were found in the hemolymph at any of the sampling points in either experiment. That suggests that ...

When we examine the structure of our nervous system, we find out that all electrical impulses that it conducts are centralized in our brain. Therefore somewhere within the brain there must be the place, where the interaction between mind and physical world takes place. It is inside the brain, where the measurements of our perceptive organs take place. It is the place in the physical world, where observation occurs. In some way our mind is able to observe the electrical impulses from our nervous system. And by observing them, we control them. If we look at the biochemical processes that take place at the synapses, where the nerves touch each other and where information is transmitted, we get indeed into a range where quantum mechanics becomes relevant. What exactly occurs within the molecules of the biochemical transmitters that travel between the microscopic gaps of the synapses of our nerve cells does not follow the macroscopic determinism. Its outcome is non-deterministic and only limited by ...

First published in Alchemy Journal Volume 10; Number 1, 2009, Salamander & Sons. 1. How would you explain or define alchemy? Is alchemy the same as spagyrics? On a theoretical basis I was taught the concept that not only is Alchemy the Mother of all the Arts and Sciences but it is also the Art and Science of Evolution. Spagyrics is an archetypal process that is happening in nature continuously. It is in fact the cycle of life itself. Whatever you observe is either dissolving or coagulating, breaking down or building up. It is how Nature works and is so common that it is overlooked. It is also happening within everyone and on an external level, such as when a person separates from their domestic life, cohobates with work or some other aspect and at the end of the day again separates from to reunite with their other life. This is followed by a sleeping/waking cycle, again a separation and cohobation. All this produces barely perceptible changes in the individual such as aging, but could hardly be ...

The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission has authority to prohibit the use of crab traps in state waters for a maximum 16 consecutive-day period between Feb. 1 - March 31 each year. Last summer the commission approved new regulations to extend the Louisiana blue-crab fishery closure to 30 days in February and March in 2017-2019 due to sustainability concerns. During this period, abandoned or old crab trabs can be removed and crabbing is prohibited to allow the Louisiana blue crab population to stabilize.. The Louisiana Blue Crab Task Force voted in early July to suggest changing the 30-day closure to a female-only closure in March and April after commercial crabbers expressed frustration with the February/March closure, a period when the price of crabs is high during the Lenten season. The date change will not be finalized until it passes through the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission. ...

bought land on Cumberland for a winter retreat. In 1884, they began building a mansion on the site of Dungeness, though Carnegie never lived to see its completion. Lucy and their nine children continued to live on the island, naming their mansion Dungeness after that of Greene. Dungeness was designed as a 59-room Scottish castle. They also built pools, a golf course, and 40 smaller buildings to house the 200 servants who worked at the mansion. The last time Dungeness was used was for the 1929 wedding of a Carnegie daughter. After the Crash and the Great Depression, the family left the island and kept the mansion vacant. It burned in a 1959 fire, believed to have been started by a poacher who had been shot in the leg by a caretaker weeks before. Today, the ruins of the mansion remain on the southern end of the island. The Carnegie family owned 90% of the island. ...

It turns out that the green crab is one of the most invasive species of our time. Like the fiendish zebra mussel, the green crab is capable of traveling by boat (either among barnacles or in ballast). As far back as the age of discovery they were hitching rides around the world on the hulls of wooden ships. The little crabs seem to have piggy backed into temperate climes along with the British Empire and they have set up ranges in Australia, South Africa, Argentina, and both coasts of North America. So far this has not been a big problem: for hundreds of years, cold waters and big hungry fish have kept the little crabs from proliferating. However as humankind moves forward with its dastardly plans to kill off every fish in the ocean (and as ocean temperatures rise) the crabs are beginning to flourish in places where they were once barely holding on by their claws.. ...

Another interesting fact is that Horseshoe Crabs are quite literally blue blood. Oxygen is carried in the blood of the Horseshoe Crab by a molecule that contains hemocyanin, which contains copper causing the blood to turn blue when exposed to air. Most red-blooded animals carry oxygen in iron-rich hemoglobin causing their blood to turn red when exposed to air. The larger female Horseshoe Crab can reach up to 60 centimeters in length and can weigh up to 5 kilograms. The horseshoe-shaped carapace (shell) is smooth and brown, although in some environments the carapace is covered with epiphytic plants and epizooic animals (organisms which live on the outer surface of other organisms and can grow so much that the carapace is no longer visible). This is usually observed toward the end of the Horseshoe Crabs lifespan of approximately 19 years. During its formative years, the Horseshoe Crab sheds its carapace periodically or molts to accommodate its growing body. The new skeleton is flexible so that ...

http://www.smh.com.au/national/rise-in-asio-complaints-linked-to-christmas-island-workload-20101014-16lwt.html ASIO is struggling under a deluge of immigration security checks, with complaints about the speed of vetting jumping by 563 per cent in a year, the nations intelligence watchdog says. The jump is believed to be due to the increased numbers of immigration detainees on Christmas Island - the government requires them to have security clearance cleared before moving them to the mainland. ASIO staff treat the Christmas Island cases as priorities and that has resulted in longer waiting times for other checks. The new Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security, Vivienne Thom, revealed in an annual report that there were 1015 complaints about delays in the last financial year, up from 153 for the preceding 12 months. We identified that there were increasing delays in ASIOs handling of security assessments, Dr Thom said. We held discussions with senior ASIO staff about the importance ...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - A researcher at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences wants to study the blue crab and a viral pathogen that infects it. Now, a nearly $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation will help Donald Behringer and colleagues study the disease along the entire western Atlantic seaboard.. In Florida, several disasters-including hurricanes in 2004, 2005, and 2008, and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010-have impacted the blue crab population, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission states. The virus has also added to the decline of blue crab. According to the Gulf States Fisheries Commission, by 2013 blue crab harvest totaled 46.5 million pounds with dockside revenue of $61.3 million. This is down from a peak of 70 million pounds through 2000..

A radioimmunoassay, immunohistochemical techniques, and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods have been developed for the study of the pentapeptide proctolin in the lobster Homarus americanus. Proctolin-like immunoreactivity is present in nearly every portion of the lobster nervous system; immunoreactivity is found in the brain, in each of the ganglia and connectives of the ventral nerve cord, and in many of the nerve roots that emerge from the cord. The greatest amounts are found in the pericardial organs, which are well known neurosecretory structures, and these structures have been selected for more detailed study. The immunoreactive material in the pericardial organs appears to be authentic proctolin. This material co-migrates with synthetic proctolin in two HPLC systems. Furthermore, a peptide that is purified from pericardial organs by HPLC is indistinguishable from synthetic proctolin in high resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. Cytochemistry reveals that the ...

Alkene cleavage is a possibility to generate aldehydes with olfactory properties for the fragrance and flavor industry. A dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) of the basidiomycete Pleurotus sapidus (PsaPOX) cleaved the aryl alkene trans-anethole. The PsaPOX was semi-purified from the mycelium via FPLC, and the corresponding gene was identified. The amino acid sequence as well as the predicted tertiary structure showed typical characteristics of DyPs as well as a non-canonical Mn2+-oxidation site on its surface. The gene was expressed in Komagataella pfaffii GS115 yielding activities up to 142 U/L using 2,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) as substrate. PsaPOX exhibited optima at pH 3.5 and 40 ◦C and showed highest peroxidase activity in the presence of 100 µM H2O2 and 25 mM Mn2+. PsaPOX lacked the typical activity of DyPs towards anthraquinone dyes, but oxidized Mn2+ to Mn3+. In addition, bleaching of β-carotene and annatto was observed. Biotransformation experiments verified ...

Lattig, Patricia ; Muñoz, Isabel; Martin, Daniel; Abelló, Pere; Machordom, Annie. .Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society : doi: 10.1111/zoj.12453 (2016) DIGITAL CSIC. Two symbiotic polychaetes living in brachyuran crabs in the western Mediterranean and the nearby eastern Atlantic, Iphitime cuenoti and Ophryotrocha mediterranea, were analysed to determine their phylogeographical patterns and the possible effects of known oceanographic barriers in the study area. The analysed species live in hosts inhabiting well-differentiated depths, a factor that may be crucial for understanding the different patterns observed in each species. Iphitime cuenoti was found in four different host crabs between 100 and 600 m depth and showed some level of genetic homogeneity, reflected in a star-like haplotype network. Furthermore, barrier effects were not observed. By contrast, O. mediterranea was exclusively found in a single host crab species living between 600 and 1200 m depth. Phylogeographical analyses ...

Sydney Morning Herald. March 26, 2011 As the smoke clears after the detention centre riots, the government is still not asking the big questions, writes David Marr. Now we are shooting them. Tear-gas, batons and water cannon were used years ago when unrest swept detention centres. But a fresh line was crossed on March 13 and crossed again a few nights later when Australian Federal Police at Christmas Islands North West Point detention centre fired on asylum seekers. Then the place was torched.. The riots mark the failure of another great Kevin Rudd initiative: to process all boat-people on this remote island. Logistical miracles are required to keep it operating. Distance makes everything so difficult. It costs a fortune: five times as much to process refugees out there as on the mainland. The Ombudsman, Allan Asher, declared in February this year: The current scale of the operation on Christmas Island is not sustainable.. On North West Point men with nothing to do but wait were sleeping in ...

The crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG) receives descending neuromodulatory inputs from three anterior ganglia, the paired commissural ganglia (CoGs) and the single esophageal ganglion (OG). In this paper we provide the first detailed and quantitative analyses of the short- and long-term effects of removal of these descending inputs (decentralization) on the pyloric rhythm of the STG. Thirty minutes after decentralization, the mean frequency of the pyloric rhythm dropped from 1.20 Hz in control to 0.52 Hz. Whereas the relative phase of pyloric neuron activity was approximately constant across frequency in the controls, after decentralization this changed markedly. Nine control preparations kept for 5-6 days in vitro maintained pyloric rhythm frequencies close to their control values. Nineteen decentralized preparations kept for 5-6 days dropped slightly in frequency from those seen at 30 minutes after decentralization, but then displayed stable activity over 6 days. Bouts of higher ...

Among the marine and terrestrial Meiura (including anomuran and brachyuran crabs) studied so far (referring to [44]; Table. 2), Birgus latro, in absolute terms, has the largest olfactory neuropils, the largest olfactory glomeruli, and the highest number of olfactory glomeruli. Furthermore, the study by Harms 1932 [7] indicates that these animals also rank highly concerning the number of aesthetascs but it is difficult to extract which methods for counting this author used and what the size of the animals was that he examined. We estimate an aesthetasc number of 1,600 to 1,800 per lateral flagellum of an adult animals first antenna, which is more than twice the number counted by Harms. Due to the fact that the aesthetasc number increases with growth in crayfish [44], we may assume that Harms examined a younger specimen than we did. Concerning absolute ON volume and glomerular numbers, the coconut crab together with other large crustaceans, spiny lobsters of the genera Jasus and Panulirus ranks ...

Soto Àngel, Joan Josep; Martell, Luis; Palero, Ferran. Marine Biodiversity : DOI:10.1007/s12526-017-0746-8 (2017) DIGITAL CSIC. Hydrozoans are a ubiquitous component of the marine benthos which may occur associated with a wide range of taxa. Some of these associations have been recently reviewed, while others remain mostly unexplored, such as the case of hydrozoans and brachyuran crabs. The present study describes a novel association between the ptilocodiid Hydrichthella epigorgia and spider crabs of the genus Achaeus. Three complementary approaches have been followed in order to determine the prevalence and specificity of this interaction: (1) in situ observations, (2) assessment of independent observations from image repositories, and (3) analyses of specimens kept in museum collections. The present contribution constitutes the first report ofH. epigorgia in the Red Sea and the first evidence of a Ptilocodiidae epibiont on a crustacean. The prevalence obtained is the highest ever reported for ...

As we know, seawater is a virtual bacterial soup. Typical near-shore areas that form the prime habitat of the horseshoe crab can easily contain over one billion Gram-negative bacteria per milliliter of seawater. Thus, the horseshoe crab is constantly threatened with infection. Unlike mammals, including humans, the horseshoe crab lacks an immune system; it cannot develop antibodies to fight infection. However, the horseshoe crab does contain a number of compounds that will bind to and inactivate bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The components of LAL are part of this primitive immune system.. The LPS coat is an important reason of endotoxin and septic shock. And gram negative bacteria contain this coat. The Limulus anti-LPS factor (LALF) binds with gram negatives LPS coat and with this function, this protein can use on the medical and pharmaceutical areas.. Lots of horseshoe crabs are collecting by some manufacture companies and they are bleeding in some laboratories. During the bleeding ...

Soft shell crabs have arrived, making their first appearance this season on menus all around town. Blue crabs are plentiful in Carolina waters, and as they grow, they shed their hard shells, leaving them deliciously vulnerable. Traditionally, soft shells are breaded and deep fried and eaten in their entirety. Heres a breakdown of where you can find them this weekend and how theyre being prepared by various chefs. We highly recommend feasting on this delicacy while you can. At Halls Chophouse, Executive Chef Matthew Niessner has been getting his crabs from off the coast of Georgia and expects to see Carolina crabs in soon too. As for preparation, Niessner dusts the crabs with cornmeal breading and flash fries them with local tomatoes. I like to keep it simple to let the true natural flavors of the crab shine, he says. The entrée comes with pepper jack grits and Kentucky blue lake beans ($32). The appetizer crab comes on top of field greens with fresh corn, applewood smoked bacon, and a white ...

Management strategies use information provided by research and tools that can be used to make sound decisions to effectively conserve marine resources. Baseline research about organism and community sensitivity to ocean acidification is incorporated into these strategies, in an effort to sustain these resources for the future. Before management plans can be created it is necessary to have baseline research about the effects of ocean acidification on marine resources, such as Pacific oysters, Dungeness crabs and rockfish. The OAP funds NOAA Fisheries Science Centers to expose various life stages of valuable species to present and future acidification conditions. The biological response research is then incorporated into models that can be used to create tools for managers to use so that they can test different scenarios on species populations and habitats. Modeling efforts led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are now being used to produce one of these tools for Atlantic sea scallop ...

Broken down to its essential form, we find a party boat. [...] we find a skipper and a deckhand with a mission to fill burlap sacks with limits of rockfish from the Marin coastline or, better yet, from the waters around the Farallon Islands. [...] there is a run to the crab pots. When they arrived at the islands, the marine layer was so thick the only view was straight down, into the water. Afterward, Mattusch put out his own decoy, which amounted to an oblong cut of plywood with sticks attached as flippers. The sharks thrashing as its tail went over the rope attached from decoy to boat was even more amazing. What followed were several more sightings, with sharks passing directly under the 56-foot boat. [...] the water erupted as the shark -- estimated at 16 feet -- went back to enjoying its meal. Another salmon angler was overheard on the radio declaring to the free world that a shark had bitten a sea lion in half right next to his boat. [...] its been limits of Dungeness crab and rockfish

As commercial fishermen set their traps in preparation for the Dungeness crab season, both fishermen and environmentalists hope that new regulations will protect whales from being snared. To protect the whales, the CDCWE working group met last month and created a Best Practices guide for crab fishermen. The guide suggests specific distances between the main and leader buoys and recommends that fishermen keep their gear well maintained so it wont break apart and float away. This group is composed of commercial and recreational crab fishermen, environmentalists, members from the whale disentanglement network, and state and federal agency employees. The crab fishermen have been very active in participating in the dialogue on ways to reduce whale entanglements, said Moss Landing Harbor Master Linda McIntyre. They are as anxious and committed to deterring these occurrences as anyone. Read the story here 10:18. ...

This is the scylla and charybdis of liberal Judaism: inauthenticity and irrelevancy. And these two manifests themselves in much of liberal Judaism. I attend a Conservative synagogue, and I certainly see both of them. Many Jews my age (mid 40s) simply opt out of many traditional Jewish practices. They do not keep kosher, attend synagogue, celebrate many holidays, daven, wear tefillin, etc. The attitude of many of my friends is simply that it seems irrelevant, sort of silly, and a little strange to do these things. After all, God did not literally said to do these things, and there just does not seem to be a good reason to do so. And when they do do these things (for whatever reason), it lacks authenticity. So someone might to go synagogue (say, for a bar-mitzvah), but will not feel elevated by the davening, does not know what the Torah parsha says, and does not expect these things. They feel a little like a religious tourist, watching and even going through the motions without really participating ...

A web search did not turn up a more exact identification, but there is this site which has a photo of a close relative Lytta magister http://www.solpugid.com/gallery/Gallery3.htm which also has a red head and legs. I do have some interesting background information on the genus however. A blue-green colored European relative Lytta vesicatoria, is known by the common name Spanish fly: Perhaps the most famous `aphrodisiac of folk lore is `Spanish Fly made from the dried beetle _Cantharis_ (Lytta) _vesicatoria_, which is widely found in areas of southern Europe. The active ingredient of the prepared insect is cantharidin, and the powdered product contains around 0.6 percent of the substance. Sometimes a tincture of cantharidin is made, and the fatal dose is usually reckoned at 1.5 to 3 grams of the powder, or about 200 millilitres of the tincture. I have not given up entirely on the identification. I will be making a trip to the insect museum in Riverside in the near future. Thanks again for the ...

HORSESHOE CRABS ARE LIVING FOSSILS, a group of animals that have been on Earth since before the dinosaurs. Beside being intriguing members of the web of life in their own right - theyre not actually crabs, but four species in a far different arthropod family - they immensely benefit us all.. BLOOD WILL TELL Their bluish, coppery blood is regularly harvested for a unique clotting agent that is used to test for bacterial contamination during the production of contact lenses, flu vaccines and multitudinous other medications. Horseshoes collected for blood donation are generally returned to their habitats. But in some parts of the world theyre also harvested for bait or even food.. ...

The crabs are very heavily bled - about 30 per cent or more of their blood is taken, and thats a fair amount, says Chris Chabot, professor of neurobiology at PSU and a co-author on the study. Approximately 20 to 30 per cent of those crabs do not survive, so we were curious if any of the surviving crabs experienced nearly lethal effects from the bleeding, he said.. The study, Sublethal Behavioral and Physiological Effects of the Biomedical Bleeding Process on the American Horseshoe Crab, was published recently in the journal The Biological Bulletin.. With funding provided by a N.H. Sea Grant development grant, Chabot, Watson and lead author Rebecca Anderson, a PSU graduate student, replicated the biomedical bleeding process to determine the potential impacts on the crabs behavior.. After capturing the crabs in New Hampshires Great Bay and transporting some of them back to Chabots lab at PSU and others to UNHs Jackson Estuarine Laboratory, the researchers monitored their movements for a ...

At the core, the question before the Hearing Examiner is whether a small shellfish operation which was abandoned in the mid-2000s due to water quality issues should now be allowed to return in an intensity never seen in any Wildlife Refuge, nor for that matter anywhere in Washington State. 80,000 plastic bags layering over the tidelands is disruptive and belong somewhere else. Also weighing on the decision is the precedent it would set, being used by other commercial shellfish operators as an example of why other Wildlife Refuges should have commercial shellfish operations allowed ...
