Crabs belonging to the family Grapsidae are possibly one of the most important components of the fauna of mangrove forests globally, in part because of their influence in nutrient cycling by feeding on litterfall. This study investigated spatial and temporal patterns in relative numbers of 11 grapsid species in northern Australian mangrove forests. The results indicated that Perisesarma spp., N...

DNA-based molecular markers for differentiation of five penaeid shrimps (Penaeus monodon, P. semisulcatus, Feneropenaeus merguiensis, Litopenaeus vannamei and Marsupenaeus japonicus) were developed based on polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) of 16S ribosomal (r) DNA. Differentiation of P. monodon, P....

because of limits in applicable karyological techniques and also the presence of a large number of small chromosomes in penaiedae family, the study on the number, structure, and the formula of the chromosomes in these shrimps is difficult. the present cytogenetic study was conducted on penaeus (fenneropenaeus) merguiensis native to persian gulf and oman sea by preparing spreads from various ear...
