Sea anemone host selection by the symbiotic saddled cleaner shrimp Periclimenes holthuisi

A preliminary field survey was conducted to determine the distribution of ectosymbiotic shrimp Periclimenes holthuisi on the sea anemone Stichodactyla haddoni in Moreton Bay (Queensland, Australia). Laboratory experiments were also carried out to verify whether the shrimp show a preference for one anemone host. In the field, 45 individuals of P. holthuisi were found to be associated with 70% of the specimens of S. haddoni (n=20). We inferred this shrimp population was not space-limited because not all anemones were colonized. After having been isolated from their natural host for 2 weeks, when placed between individuals of S. haddoni and Macrodactyla doreensis (an anemone that is sympatric with S. haddoni), shrimp overwhelmingly selected S. haddoni (92%). To establish whether M. doreensis may serve as an alternative host for P. holthuisi, unacclimated shrimp were forced to associate with this anemone. Macrodactyla doreensis showed little tentacle reaction during this association; shrimp were found on the anemone's tentacles and the column. The finding that M. doreensis can serve as an alternative host for P. holthuisi demonstrates that this anemoneshrimp is adaptable to another anemone host and thus may not be highly host specific.

Potential interactions between humans and non-breeding shorebirds on a subtropical intertidal flat

The primary aim of this study was to investigate whether bait harvesting, with all its inherent effects, occurring in the intertidal zone of a subtropical estuary, had an impact on a migratory shorebird, the eastern curlew Numenius madagascariensis. In a large-scale manipulative study (units of experiment were 1 ha plots), callianassid shrimp Trypaea australiensis populations were harvested simulating the technique (manual pumping) and the levels of harvesting intensity per unit area (347 shrimp per hectare per harvesting event) exhibited by bait-collectors in SE Australia and South Africa. It was found that at present levels of harvesting intensity per unit area (approximately 1% of standing stock removed per harvesting event) there is no threat to the stocks of Trypaea exploited by the curlews in Moreton Bay, Australia. However, the results show that the curlews themselves apply a considerable predation pressure on Trypaea. Based on the birds' foraging rates and densities, it was estimated that they would consume up to 100% of the initial Trypaea stock over the course of a non-breeding season (October to March). However, the stable seasonal trend in the density of the size-cohort of Trypaea preyed upon by the curlews indicates that the existing rates of predation are easily counterbalanced, e.g. through continuous density-dependent recruitment of these crustaceans. We suggest that this mechanism will provide for a stable foraging environment for both the shorebirds and bait collectors.
