Morphometric aspects of two coexisting amphidromous shrimps, Atya gabonensis Giebel, 1875 and Atya scabra (Leach, 1816), in the Paraíba do Sul River, Brazil
Abstract:Atya gabonensis Giebel, 1875 and Atya scabra (Leach, 1816) are amphidromous shrimps. In some areas, these species populations are vulnerable due to the anthropogenic impact on their habitats and commercial exploitation. However, basic morphometric data is still lacking. This study provides morphometric data on both species in the Fluvial Island Domain of Paraíba do Sul River basin, Brazil. Sampling was performed bimonthly from January 2013 to March 2014. Individuals were analysed according to sex, weight, car… Show more
