abstract

this study was conducted to evaluate a temperature regime ranged from 15 to 30°c on survival, growth, life span and reproductive traits (reproductive period, clutch number, offspring number) of phallocryptus spinosa from iran. newly hatched nauplii (n= 200 and 3 replicates per each treatment) were allocated into containers and maintained at various temperature regimes (at 15, 20, 25 and 30˚c). during trial, the larvae were fed with unicellular algae dunaliella tertiolecta and lansy pz (lipid-enriched yeast). survival and growth rate of p. spinosa with an interval of 3 days to 18 days were examined. after attaining adulthood, 16 pairs of adult p. spinosa were transferred from all culture vessels into separate containers supplied with 300 ml of brackish water (5 ppt) and similar temperatures to compare their life span and reproductive traits. based on results obtained, maximum growth at shortest period (13.2±2.0 mm on day 12) was observed at 30°c; whereas, all p. spinosa died before reaching sexual maturity by day 15. maximum survival (86%) was observed at 15°c; however, minimum growth also was obtained at the same temperature with none of p. spinosa reaching sexual adulthood. on the 18th day, p. spinosa reached sexual adulthood only at 20 and 25°c. furthermore, a significant difference was observed in most of the reproductive traits especially in total egg production per female at 20°c. thus, it seems that 20°c is the suitable temperature to rear this fairy shrimp. future studies should be focused on the feasibility of mass production of this species as a valuable live feed in the aquaculture industry.

A new fairy shrimp Phallocryptus tserensodnomi (Branchiopoda: Anostraca) from Mongolia.

A new species of Phallocryptus Biraben 1951 (Branchiopoda, Anostraca) from Mongolia is described. Phallocryptus tserensodnomi sp. nov. is close to P. spinosa (Milne-Edwards 1840), but both morphological and molecular analyses (Cytochrome Oxidase I, COI) indicate that they represent separate species. Most relevant differential features of the new species include: (1) frontal appendage provided w...

Embryology of the spider crabs Leurocyclus tuberculosus (H. Milne-Edwards & Lucas 1842) and Libinia spinosa (H. Milne-Edwards 1834) (Brachyura, Majoidea).

The embryonic development of the spider crabs Leurocyclus tuberculosus and Libinia spinosa was divided into five periods based on the differentiation of: (I) cleavage, (II) embryonic primordium, III) optic lobes, (IV) optic lobes pigmented and (V) chromatophores presence. Different traits such as spines, setae and telson morphology distinguish the two species from period III until hatching. Egg...
