Distribution pattern of juveniles of the pink shrimps Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (Latreille, 1817) and F. paulensis (Pérez-Farfante, 1967) on the southeastern Brazilian coast

Variation in size distribution of juvenile pink shrimps Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis and F. paulensis in the estuarine-adjacent ocean area of Cananéia, south-eastern coast of Brazil

“…Similar to the present study, in the Ubatuba region (northern coast of São Paulo state), the juvenile recruitment of F. brasiliensis and F. paulensis occurred between January and March (Costa et al ., 2016). The juvenile recruitment of these shrimps in both São Paulo regions refuted the findings of Chagas-Soares et al .…”

“…Our results, in addition to the knowledge that in other localities in the south-east coast such as Ubatuba, recruitment starts prior to the closed season in El Niño years and the many bays in the area play a nursery role due to the small estuaries (Costa et al ., 2016), and in the south coast, such as in Conceição Lagoon (Santa Catarina State), F. paulensis starts recruiting in the summer (prior to the closure) and F. brasiliensis recruits in early winter (post-closure) (Luchmann et al ., 2008), lead us to suggest the adoption of a fishing exclusion zone in the shallow portions of the adjacent coastal areas of the south-eastern and southern coast (up to 10 m depth). Considering that the three localities mentioned are under the same closed season, adapting the period to each region in order to increase the protection of juveniles (i.e.…”

“…The shrimps Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (Latreille, 1817) and F. paulensis (Pérez-Farfante, 1967), commonly known as pink-shrimps, are an important fishery resource (Dias-Neto 2015), especially in southern and south-eastern Brazil, where they are one of the main targets of shrimp fishery (Costa et al, 2008(Costa et al, , 2016Pereira & D'Incao, 2012). Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis is widely distributed in the Atlantic Ocean and is found from North Carolina State (USA, 35°N) to Rio Grande do Sul State (Brazil, 29°S), while F. paulensis is restricted to the South Atlantic, from Bahia State (Brazil,12°S) to the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina, 38.5°S) (Costa et al, 2003).…”

Comparison of the spatio‐temporal distribution of the roughneck shrimp Rimapenaeus constrictus (Stimpson, 1874) (Crustacea, Penaeoidea) from monthly samples collected 20 years apart: Effects of a marine protected area in southeastern Brazil

“…According to Dall et al (1990), R. constrictus is a stenohaline species adapted to an oceanic life cycle. Unlike other shrimp species as Penaeus schmitti , Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis and F. paulensis (Bochini, Fransozo, Castilho, Hirose, & Costa, 2014; Costa et al, 2016), R. constrictus does not need estuaries to complete its life cycle (Costa & Fransozo, 2004b). The occurrence of R. constrictus in regions with salinity over 30 has been reported by Gunter (1950), Brusher, Renfro, and Neal, (1972), Williams (1984).…”

Unveiling the dynamics of the spider crab Libinia ferreirae, through reproductive and population characteristics on the south-eastern coast of Brazil

“…The high occurrence of these individuals in the Ubatuba region has led to its exploitation, mainly by shrimp fishing (Castilho et al ., 2015; Costa et al ., 2016; Fransozo et al ., 2016). The ecological impacts caused by this activity can destroy benthic communities (Fransozo et al ., 2016) through unwanted, frequent and massive capture of accompanying fauna; reduction of habitat complexity (by sediment homogenization); changes in species abundance and distribution, and even the reduction of the asymptotic size of individuals (Kaiser et al ., 2002).…”
