RESUMO

Vibriosis is caused by some pathogenic Vibrio and produces significant mortality in Pacific white shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei larvae in commercial hatcheries. Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is an emerging vibriosis affecting shrimp-producing countries worldwide. Zoea 2 syndrome is another type of vibriosis that affects the early stages of P. vannamei larvae. Although the pathogenesis of AHPND and zoea 2 syndrome is well known, there is scarce information about microbial composition and biomarkers of P.vannamei larvae affected by AHPND, and there is no study of the microbiome of larvae affected by zoea 2 syndrome. In this work, we characterized the microbiome of P. vannamei larvae collected from 12 commercial hatchery tanks by high-throughput sequencing. Seven tanks were affected by AHPND, and five tanks were affected by zoea 2 syndrome. Subsequently, all samples were selected for sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the16S rRNA gene. Similarity analysis using the beta diversity index revealed significant differences in the larval bacterial communities between disease conditions, particularly when Vibrio was analyzed. Linear discriminant analysis with effect size determined specific microbial signatures for AHPND and zoea 2 syndrome. Sneathiella, Cyclobacterium, Haliea, Lewinella, among other genera, were abundant in AHPND-affected larvae. Meanwhile, Vibrio, Spongiimonas, Meridianimaribacter, Tenacibaculum, among other genera, were significantly abundant in larvae affected by zoea 2 syndrome. The bacterial network at the phylum level for larvae collected from tanks affected by AHPND showed greater complexity and connectivity than in samples collected from tanks affected by zoea 2 syndrome. The bacterial connections inter Vibrio genera were higher in larvae from tanks affected by zoea 2 syndrome, also presenting other connections between the genera Vibrio and Catenococcus. The identification of specific biomarkers found in this study could be useful for understanding the microbial dynamics during different types of vibriosis.

RESUMO

The first zoeae of Alpheus formosus Gibbes, 1850 and Alpheus malleator Dana, 1852 are described and illustrated for the first time, based on laboratory-hatched larvae from parental females sampled in Vitória Island, Ubatuba, Brazil. Both species shared many characters with other species of genus Alpheus Fabricius, 1798, but they also have some exclusive characters as 10 setae on the basis of the maxilla, first maxilliped with endopod 2-segmented and exopod 4-segmented, second maxilliped with exopod 4-segmented, presence of bud only of the first pereopod, presence of anal spine and simple dorsal setae on the pleon. The zoea I of both species, nevertheless, can be separated by segmentation in the exopod of the antenna (8 in A. formosus, 6 in A. malleator); segmentation in the endopod and exopod of the third maxilliped (5 in A. formosus and 4 in A. malleator); peduncle of antennule 3-segmented in A. formosus (unsegmented or 2-segmented in other species) and presence of a medial tubercle in the proximal segment in the exopod of the antenna of A. malleator (absent in A. formosus, not reported in all other species). In this study three new characters are proposed to be analyzed in zoea of the genus Alpheus: presence of anal spine in both species (absent in Alpheus saxidomus Holthuis, 1980, but not reported in other species) and for the first time reported, presence of a tubercle in the exopod of the antenna (present only in A. malleator) and presence of simple dorsal setae on the pleon (both species), here analyzed under light and scanning electron microscopy.

RESUMO

Herein, the Zoea I of Synalpheus apioceros is described, followed by a comparative analysis of the first larval stage from Synalpheus. Larvae were obtained from two ovigerous females sampled in Ubatuba, São Paulo. The morphology of the Zoea I of S. apioceros was compared to five other Synalpheus species whose structures were previously described: S. biunguiculatus, S. minus, S. neomeris, S. pectiniger, and S. tumidomanus. A set of unique morphological characteristics was found for S. apioceros: exopod of antennule with 4 aesthetascs and 1 plumose seta; coxal endite of maxillule with 2 simple setae plus 2 plumose setae; basial endite of maxillule with 2 simple setae plus 2 short spines; endopod of maxillule with 1 plumose seta plus 2 simple setae; basial endite of maxilla bilobed with 2 (1 plumose and 1 simple) + 2 (1 plumose and 1 simple) setae; coxal endite of maxilla bilobed with 2 + 1 plumose setae; endopod of maxilla with 3 (1 plumose and 2 simple) terminal setae + 2 simple setae; endopod of first maxilliped unsegmented with 3 terminal simple setae; basis of first maxilliped with 5 spines; endopod of second maxilliped 5-segmented with 0, 0, 0, 1 plumodenticulate, 4 (1 serrate + 3 simple) setae; endopod of third maxilliped 5-segmented with 0, 0, 0, 1 simple, 3 simple setae; pereiopods 1st to 3rd birramous and 4th and 5th uniramous. S. apioceros shows higher morphological similarity with S. minus, followed by S. tumidomanus, S. neomeris and S. pectiniger, probably since these species present extended larval development. Besides the similar morphology among species, the unique attributes presented here are important for the genus' taxonomy, being fundamental for identifying the first larval stages of Synalpheus, as well as for subsidizing information for species identification keys.

RESUMO

The complete larval development of Petrolisthes tuberculatus (including two zoeal stages and the megalopa) is described and illustrated in detail for the first time, based on laboratory-reared material. In order to allow the differentiation of specimens from plankton samples, the larval stages of P. tuberculatus are compared with those known for other porcellanid crabs from Chilean waters (Allopetrolisthes angulosus, Petrolisthes granulosus, P. laevigatus and P. violaceus). As expected, this comparison lead to the inclusion of P. tuberculatus within the "sección Porcellanina" together with the other Chilean species of porcellanids.

RESUMO

The first larval stage of Enallopaguropsis guatemoci is described in detail and illustrated. The larva is compared with larvae known for other genera of Paguridae except Pagurus. A synthesis of all characters provided herein indicates that first larvae of E. guatemoci can be separated from all known pagurid larvae (except Pagurus) by the combination of the following characters: carapace with long dorsal carina, posterolateral spines absent; abdominal somites 3-5 with pair of moderately long spines; telson narrowly triangular, not forked; spine at antennal protopod as long as endopod.

RESUMO

Feeding is an important factor for the successful rearing of larvae of the crab species. Further information on the morphological features of the foregut may to reveal larval feeding behaviour and or/whether there is a lecithotrophy in some or even in all stages of the larval cycle. In the present study, the structural development of the foregut and their digestive functions were examined in larvae of two brachyurans, Uca vocator and Panopeus occidentalis, reared in the laboratory. During larval development, the foreguts of the larvae in the first and last zoeal stages and in the megalopa stage were microscopically examined, described and illustrated. The zoeal foreguts of both species were well developed, showing specialization with a functional cardiopyloric valve and a filter press. The megalopa stage had a complex and specialized gastric mill similar to that found in adult crabs with the appearance of rigidly calcified structures. These results support the hypothesis that the feeding behaviour of each larval stage is directly related to the morphological structure of the foregut. Such facts strongly indicate that all larval stages of both . vocator and P occidentalis need an external food source before completing the larval development in a planktonic environment.


A alimentação é um importante fator para o sucesso no cultivo larval de espécies de caranguejos. Informações sobre as características morfológicas do estômago podem contribuir para revelar o comportamento alimentar larval ou, se há lecitotrofia em algum, ou até mesmo, em todos os estágios do ciclo larval. No presente estudo, o desenvolvimento estrutural do estômago e as funções digestivas foram examinados em larvas de duas espécies de braquiúros, Uca vocator e Panopeus occidentalis, cultivados em laboratório. Durante o desenvolvimento larval, os estômagos das larvas no primeiro e último estágio de zoea e megalopa foram microscopicamente examinados, descritos e ilustrados. Em ambas espécies, o estômago dos estágios de zoea são desenvolvidos e especializados, apresentando uma válvula cardiopilórica e um filtro pilórico funcionais. Oestágio de megalopa possui um moinho gástrico complexo e especializado semelhante àquele encontrado em caranguejos adultos com o aparecimento de estruturas rígidas e calcificadas. Estes resultados apóiam a hipótese de que o comportamento alimentar de cada estágio larval está diretamente relacionado à estrutura morfológica do estômago. Tal fato, fortemente indica que todos os estágios larvais de ambos U. vocator e P. occidentalis necessitam de uma fonte externa de alimento para completar o desenvolvimento larval no ambiente planctônico.

RESUMO

O objetivo do presente estudo é a elaboração de uma chave de identificação ilustrada das espécies de Brachyura que ocorrem no estuário da Lagoa dos Patos e sua região costeira adjacente. A chave abrange espécies as quais foram coletadas mensalmente, usando uma rede de plâncton (165 cm de comprimento, 60 cm de boca e 330 µm de malha). As amostragens foram realizadas na superfície e fundo. Os especimens foram identifcados mediante comparação com larvas cultivadas em laboratório e com descrições já existentes. A chave utiliza caracteres que não sofrem grandes transformações ao longo do desenvolvimento, e a utilização de figuras para ilustrar a chave permite a não especialistas facilmente identificar as espécies.


The goal of this study is to provide an illustrated identification key to distinguish zoeal phase of Brachyuran larvae that occur in the estuarine and nearby coastal region of the Patos Lagoon. The key includes species, collected monthly, using a conical net (165 cm long, 60 cm mouth and 330 µm mesh). Sampling was carried out on surface and deep waters. The identification was based on specimens reared under laboratory conditions as well as from previous published studies. This key was constructed upon external morphological characters, easy to observe under a stereomicroscope and moreover, the presentation of figures allows a non-specialist to make identifications more easily.

RESUMO

O presente trabalho estudou o efeito da salinidade na sobrevivência e na duração do desenvolvimento larval do caranguejo-uçá, Ucides cordatus (do estuário do Rio Caeté, Norte do Brasil), até a fase de megalopa em sete tratamentos de salinidade (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 e 30). A salinidade afetou significativamente a sobrevivência das larvas zoea, no entanto não afetou a duração do desenvolvimento larval (20,77 ± 1,56 dias). Nas salinidades 0, 5 e 10 houve total mortalidade das larvas zoea. Somente a partir da salinidade 15 observou-se um desenvolvimento completo até a fase de megalopa. A taxa de sobrevivência foi maior em salinidade 30 (72 por cento) e menor em 15 (16 por cento). A reduzida taxa de sobrevivência das larvas zoea de U. cordatus, em salinidades baixas, indica a necessidade de dispersão larval do estuário para as águas costeiras onde as condições de salinidade para o desenvolvimento larval são mais favoráveis. Caso contrário se não houvesse a dispersão, a reduzida salinidade das águas estuarinas no período chuvoso, causaria uma elevada mortalidade, afetando desta forma o recrutamento, a manutenção e o crescimento da população de U. cordatus nos manguezais.


The present work studied the effect of salinity on the survival and duration of larval development of the mangrove crab, Ucides cordatus (from the Caeté River estuary, North of Brazil) until the megalopal phase in seven salinity treatments (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 e 30). Salinity significantly affected the survival of the zoea larvae, however it did not affect the duration of the larval development (20.77 ± 1.56 days). In salinity 0, 5 and 10 all zoea larvae died. Only from off salinity 15, complete development until the megalopal phase occurred. The survival rate was highest in salinity 30 (72 percent) and lowest in 15 (16 percent). The reduced survival rate of the U. cordatus zoea larvae, in low salinities, indicates the necessity of larval dispersion from the estuary to coastal waters, where salinity conditions for larval development are more favorable. Otherwise, if there was no dispersion, the reduced salinity of estuarine waters in the rainy season would cause a high mortality thereby affecting the recruitment, maintenance and growth of the U. cordatus population in the mangroves.

RESUMO

Los "cangrejos porcelana" Petrolisthes haigae Chace 1962 y P. nobilii Haig 1960, son especies de aguas poco profundas distribuidas a lo largo de las costas del Pacífico Este Tropical. Recolectamos larvas de ambas especies, de ocho y cuatro hembras, en las islas de Taboga y Naos, respectivamente. Las criamos en el laboratorio para describir e ilustrar los primeros estados de zoea de estas especies fueron, hasta ahora desconocidos. Las comparamos con los primeros estadios de zoea de otras especies del género en el oeste de Panamá y concluimos que las características de la primera zoea de ambas especies se asemejan a las del grupo 4 de larvas propuesto por Osawa en 2002.
