Population Structure, Growth, Mortality and Fecundity of Palaemon adspersus (Rathke 1837; Decapoda: Palaemonidae) in the Parila Lagoon (Croatia, SE Adriatic Sea) with Notes on the Population Management

چکیده
Baltic prawn, Palaemon adspersus population from the Parila lagoon (SE Adriatic Sea, Croatia) was studied between 2010-2011. Specimens were collected monthly in order to determine population structure, growth, mortality and reproduction of this important decapods species. The von Bertalanffy growth function parameters were found L∞=58.98 mm, K=0.975 year and to=-0.0046 years for males and L∞=72.45 mm, K=1.058 year −1 and to=-0.0005 years for females. Growth performance (Φ') for females was higher (3.229) than that of males (3.121). Maximum calculated age was 3.07 and 2.83 years for males and females, respectively, while total mortality was estimated as 3.72 per year for males and 3.79 per year for females. The females carried on average 2157 eyed eggs per 1g of total body weight, but exhibited a high variability of fecundity. The results show overexploitation of the resource and therefore management rules based on the precautionary approach are proposed. These rules are based on the limitation of the fishing effort and the establishment of 'no-take' periods during the year as well as the proposal of two biological reference points based on a minimum landing size related to the sizeat-maturity and the fishing mortality at Maximum Sustainable Yield.

Branchial chamber structure and osmoregulatory function in the prawn, Palaemon elegans (Crustacea: Decapoda) from the Caspian Sea
The structure, ultrastructure and osmoregulatory function of the branchial chamber were investigated in Palaemon elegans (Rathke, 1837) by light microscope, electron microscope and immunohistochemistry methods, respectively. Each chamber possesses a branchiostegite, 3 epipodites and 8 phyllobranchiate gills. The lamellae are attached along the two outer surfaces of the triangular gill axis. Ult...

Osmoregulatory ability and salinity tolerance in several decapod crustaceans (Palaemonidae & Penaeidae) of the East China Sea
The osmoregulatory ability and salinity tolerance of four species of decapod crustaceans (Decapoda: Natantia) were evaluated to test the degree of physiological adaptation to variations in salinity (2 d exposure to 10, 20, 25 and 32. The ecophysiological salinity tolerance of two penaeids (Metapenaeus joyneri and Penaeus semisulcatus) and two palaemonid species (Palaemon pacificus and Exopalaem...

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the world’s hotspots for marine bio-invasions. Most invasions are first documented based on an initial record of occasional adult captures. However, reports of larval stages could indicate that there is an adult population that is reproducing and therefore well established in the area. The spread of the oriental shrimp, Palaemon macrodactylus, from its native est...
