Describe los principales aspectos de la biología reproductiva de la “marucha”, Callianassa garthi Retamal, 1975, crustáceo decápodo que habita la zona mesolitoral de las playas arenosas de la Costa Peruana. Así mismo, se han definido cinco estadíos de madurez sexual: en madurez, madurez inicial, madurez avanzada, evacuación inicial y evacuación final. Se ha determinado que esta especie tiene una reproducción del tipo grupo-sincrónico, con una maduración gonadal prolongada y un solo periodo de desove al año, el cual se inicia en mayo y finaliza en noviembre con una intensidad máxima entre julio y agosto. Se ha observado que existe una relación inversa entre la actividad reproductiva y la temperatura superficial del mar.

Se ha estudiado el ciclo reproductivo de Cancer setosus en la zona de Pisco para lo cual se hicieron muestreos mensuales durante 12 meses. Se han realizado cortes histológicos de las gónadas tanto de hembras como de machos y se describió la escala de madurez macroscópica, para lo cual fue necesario describir la ovogénesis y la espermatogénesis. Por otro lado, se calculó la talla de primer desove para hembras mediante el procedimiento de la frecuencia acumulada al 50% o o.5 de la fracción desovante. El análisis del ciclo reproductivo mostró que esta especie se reproduce durante todo el año pero con dos períodos importantes uno en verano y otro en invierno. Se ha relacionado la influencia de la temperatura y la salinidad sobre la reproducción, siendo la temperatura el factor abiótico más importante encontrándose una relación directa en verano inversa en invierno, mientras que la salinidad no tiene aparentemente alguna relación.

Los anfípodos hepéridos son microcrustáceos marinos que tienen un rol importante en la ecología trófica de especies pesqueras, se caracterizan por su voraz comportamiento predador sobre otros componentes del zooplancton (NELSON, 1979) y debido a su abundancia constituyen una fuente de alimento para niveles tróficos superiores (ALVAREZ y VIÑAS, 1994). El área de estudio comprende desde 03°29.80´S hasta los 12°54.50´S, abarcando los perfiles de Puerto Pizarro, Cabo Blanco, Talara, Paita, Punta Falsa, Pimentel, Chicama, Salaverry, Chimbote, Huarmey, Supe, Guacho, Chancay, Callao, Pucusana y Cerro Azul, cubriendo de esta manera la parte norte y centro del litoral peruano hasta las 100 millas náuticas de la costa y 50 metros de profundidad. Se determinan 34 especies de anfípodos, con 26 nuevos registros para el país y 2 especies nuevas. La familia Hyperridae es la que registra mayor representatividad a nivel específico destacando por su abundancia las especies Hyperioides sibaginis e Hyperietta vossleri. El presente trabajo, contribuye principalmente a ampliar el conocimiento de especies de anfípodos y asociarlas con las características ambientales, así las especies Vibilia chuni, Partaphronima gracilis, Hemithiphys tenuimanuss, Euscelus robustus y Schizoscelus ornatus, se encuentran relacionados con salinidades que fluctuan entre 34.8 y 35.1‰ y temperaturas de 25.4 hasta 28.2°C, rangos correspondientes a aguas de mezcla de Aguas Ecuatoriales Superficiales (AES) y Aguas Subtropicales superficiales (ASS).

A new species of janiridean isopod, Austrofilius mediterraneus sp. nov., from the Columbretes Islands (Castellón de la Plana), Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula, is described, given it is the first record of the genus in the Northern Hemisphere. It is mainly distinguished from the other two species of the genus by the male pleopod 1, which is wider at the apex and with hooked lateral lobes, curved and nearly surpassing medial lobes. Furthermore, the female operculum shows only four distolateral setae. The rostrum of Austrofilius mediterraneus sp. nov. is extended into single frontolateral tips but is shorter than in A. furcatus Hodgson, 1910.

Triops cancriformis, Chirocephalus diaphanus, Branchipus schaefferi and Tanymastix stagnalis are recorded in several new localities of Iberian Peninsula. A literature review of the previous localities is done. It is described the characteristics of the habitats in those that the four species have been located. This paper extends the geographic and altitudinal distribution range of T. stagnalis in the Iberian Peninsula. A reduction of T. cancriformis populations has been detected in rice fields where they were abundant. A significant number oflocalities are inside or near protected areas, so it is important a sensitivity in the management of these areas for the conservation of temporary waters. A better knowledge of the distribution of these species is the basis for a necessary and efficient species and habitat protection

Neste trabalho apresentamos os anfípodos do gênero Elasmopus, que são representados na coleção da Estação de Hidrobiologia do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, e entre eles temos a honra de dedicar uma espécie ao Prof. W. Besnard. Assim este trabalho representa, de certo modo, uma contribuição aos resultados da Expedição do navio 'Baependi', realizada em 1950, à Ilha da Trindade.

Le but du présent travail est d’apporter la preuve paléontologique mettant en évidence que le clade Raninoida était bien établi dans le Néotropique durant la période Crétacée, où il était représenté par les plus anciennes familles ou par quelques–uns des plus anciens membres des plus anciennes familles. Je décris des taxa raninoïdiens ou similaires, incluant Archaeochimaeridae n. fam. et Archaeochimaera macrophthalma n. gen. n. sp., du Cénomanien supérieur (~95 Ma.) de Colombie (Chapitre 3), Planocarcinus n. gen., Planocarcinus olssoni (Rathbun, 1937) n. comb. et Notopocorystes kerri n. sp., de l’Aptien supérieur (~115 Ma.) de Colombie (Luque et al., accepté) (Chapitre 2). Ces taxa nouveaux, plus la présence de Cenomanocarcinus vanstraeleni Stenzel, 1945, dans l’Albien supérieur de Colombie (Vega et al., 2010), et d’Araripecarcinus ferreirai Martins–Neto, 1987, dans l’Albien du Brésil (Luque et al., en cours) (Chapitre 4), représentent certains des plus anciens signalements de quatre des sept familles raninoïdiennes, au moins, connues à ce jour. La nouvelle famile Archaeochimaeridae se présente comme le groupe frère du clade Raninidae + clade Symethidae. Cependant, la combinaison unique de caractères primitifs, dérivés et homoplasiques est inégalable chez les Raninoida, et, en fait, chez les autres sections de crabes podotrèmes. Alors que les taxa raninoïdiens du Crétacé sont bien connus aux latitudes élevées, les signalements en Amérique du Sud tropicale sont rares et épars, avec pour résultat de considérables distorsions pour traiter des importantes questions biogéographiques et phylogénétiques. Sur la base de données taxonomiques, paléobiogéographiques et cladistiques, une ré–appréciation des toute premières distributions spatio–temporelle des “crabes grenouilles” est proposée, avec pour objet de contribuer à une plus large compréhension de la diversité, phylogénie et évolution des premiers brachyoures au cours des âges.

True crabs are the most fascinating group of organisms among the decapod crustaceans. Great importance is attached at present to the increased exploitation of these animals and therefore there is great scope for further development of their fishery. They have a broad and hard carapace, massive chelate legs, bent abdomen and exhibit high degree of adaptation to the environment. They show pelagic, benthic, intertidal, burrowing and terrestrial modes of life. Their commensal association with other invertebrates, their breeding behaviour and life history are of great interest to biologists. More than six hundred species of crabs are known to occur in Indian waters and among them about eight species form a regular fishery along the entire stretch of peninsular India (Rao §§_al., 1973) round the year. Crab fishery in India is fast developing and there is vast scope for them as there are many more potential species. Among the various crustacean diets, crabs are celebrated for deliciousness and for nutritional richness. In recent days, crab food items have become more popular and gained global reception. These resources can also be augmented further by culturing them in ponds in the future. Information on biology and ecology of constituent species go a long way not only in effective exploitation and regulation of the respective fishery resources but also helps in evolving a suitable gear for their capture. Information collected on the national level in various aspects as reproduction, growth rate, larval development, parasites, diseases, nutritive values etc. will be of help in evolving a national policy for the effective utilisation and conservation of this resource. They also provide the baseline information for undertaking any purposeful and meaningful culture activities. Information on the various aspects mentioned above is very much restricted in true crabs and hence the present study

Two new clam shrimp species belonging to the genera Eulimnadia Packard, 1874 and Leptestheria Sars 1898 from Kerala, India are described. Spinicaudatan clam shrimp are among the least studied groups in India, with only 30 species reported. Eulimnadia azisi sp. nov. was collected from rain fed, temporary, rocky depressions at Vettilapara, in Western Ghats, Kerala. No males were observed and the population may be hermaphroditic. Leptestheria dumonti sp. nov. was collected from the paddy fields at Parapukara, Kerala. Altogether two species of Leptestheria and nine species of Eulimnadia have been reported from India, and this is the first report of the genus Leptestheria from Kerala.

The management of exploited species requires the identification of demographically isolated populations that can be considered as independent management units (MUs), failuring in which can lead to over -fishing and depletion of less productive stocks. By characterizing the distribution of genetic variation, population sub structuring can be detected and the degree of connectivity among populations can be estimated. The genetic variation can be observed using identified molecular markers of both nuclear and mitochondrial origin. Hence, the present work was undertaken to study the genetic diversity and population/stock structure in P. homarus homarus and T. unimaculatus from different landing centres along the Indian coast using nuclear (RAPD) and mitochondrial DNA marker tools which will help towards developing management strategies for management and conservation of these declining resources.To make consistent conservation and fisheries management decisions, accurate species identifications are needed. It is also suggested that it is not always desirable to rely on a single sequence for taxonomic identification. Thus, the feasibility of using partial sequences of additional mitochondrial genes like 16SrRNA, 12SrRNA and nuclear 18SrRNA has also been explored in our study. Phylogenies provide a sound foundation for establishing taxonomy. The present work also attempts to reconstruct the phylogeny of eleven species of commercially important lobsters from the Indian EEZ using molecular markers
