“…A related Indo-Pacific species, Charybdis helleri has established introduced populations in the eastern Mediterranean and western Atlantic ocean with recent records from Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, Brazil, and Florida (Lemaitre 1995;Lalana et al 1999;Dineen et al 2001;Ferreira et al 2001;Mantelatto and Garcia 2001). Specimens have also been captured from South Carolina in both 2000 and 2002, suggesting secondary spread along the east coast of the United States (A.M. Lohrer personal communication).…”

Patterns of local abundance and geographical distribution are often prime correlates of invasive species' impacts on native ecosystems. Here we adaptively increased the spatial scale of delimitation surveys to determine the local abundance, range and habitat associations of the introduced portunid Charybdis japonica (Milne-Edwards, 1861) in New Zealand. The crab was first discovered in Auckland's Waitemata Harbour in September 2000, and by April 2002 trapping surveys revealed the invader had spread widely throughout the Harbour. Experiments using three deployment times (1, 3 and 24 h) optimized detection rates prior to larger scale geographic surveys that defined the range of the introduced population. We surveyed >300 sites in coastal waters within the predicted range of larval dispersal and then 14 major shipping ports throughout New Zealand. C. japonica was abundant in the Waitemata Harbour and present in two nearby estuaries, but there was no evidence of spread to other shipping ports nationwide. Subtidal habitat associations were explored in the main area of infestation which indicated that the invader occupied a range of substrata from fine, silty muds to coarse, shelly sands. Although its distribution overlaps with the native portunid crab Ovalipes catharus, the invader was more abundant throughout Waitemata Harbour and occurred in muddy sediments where native portunids are rare. It is not yet clear whether the C. japonica population in New Zealand is self-sustaining, however if it persists and continues to spread, it is likely to have significant impacts on native estuarine benthic assemblages.

“…One of the possible explanations is introduction via ships ballast water. Highvolume of industrial sea-faring ship traffic has been responsible for the range expansion of several species of Brachyura, including Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould, 1865) Carcinus maenas (L.) and Charybdis hellerii (Milne Edwards, 1867) (D'Incao & Martins 1998, Ferreira et al 2001, Tavares 2011, Briski et al 2012.…”

Range extension of the mud crab Eurypanopeus depressus (Smith, 1869) (Decapoda, Panopeidae): A new record for the coastal south of Brazil

The discovery of Eurypanopeus depressus (Decapoda: Panopeidae; Smith, 1869) on the coast of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil suggests that the species was recently introduced, possibly due to different sources of introduction, such as the ballast water of ships. E. depressus were collected using otter-trawl net in the Patos Lagoon Estuary. Discussion focuses on the fact that the primary South American distribution derives from Uruguayan shores, and later expanded to nearby places (Brazil and Argentina). This work extends the Southern Hemisphere distribution for the species, as it was previously reported only from Argentina to Uruguay. Keywords: range distribution, bioinvasion, ecology, systematics.

Um novo registro para a costa do sul do Brasil.www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v14n1/pt/abstract?short-communication+bn00814012014Resumo: O registro de Eurypanopeus depressus (Smith, 1869) na costa do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil (Decapoda:Xanthidae) levanta a hipó tese de que a espécie pode ser invasora, devido a diferentes fontes de introduçã o como á gua de lastro. E. depressus foi coletada com rede de portas no estuá rio da Lagoa dos Patos. A discussã o foca no fato de que a distribuiçã o primá ria da espécie na América do Sul pode ter sido na costa uruguaia, tendo esta posteriormente se irradiado para locais pró ximos (Brasil e Argentina). Este trabalho estende a distribuiçã o da espécie no hemisfério sul, já que previamente era citada somente para a Argentina e Uruguai. Palavras-chave: intervalo de distribuição, bioinvasão, ecologia, sistemática. IntroductionEurypanopeus depressus, also known as the flat mud crab, or depressed mud crab, is common along the East and Gulf coasts of North America from Massachusetts to Florida and Texas. It lives in subtidal or intertidal oyster beds, and has been reported from depths ranging from 1 to 27 meters (Grant & McDonald 1979, Sulkin et al. 1983, Williams 1984. The species is also found in the Dutch West Indies and Bermuda and, in South America, Eurypanopeus depressus has been recorded in Uruguay and Argentina, with the latter record from Mar Chiquita, a warmtemperate coastal lagoon south of Rio de la Plata, Its occurrence in South America is probably due to introduction (Williams 1984, Spivak & Luppi 2005, Tavares 2011).This study presents information about the presence of E. depressus in the Patos Lagoon Estuary (Brazil), one of the biggest lagoons in the world, and discusses the role of ballast water in transporting species, and other ways of introduction. Material and methodsSpecimens presented in this article were collected during several projects of the ''Laborató rio de Crustá ceos Decá podos'', from 1980 through 2012, and the general sampling method consisted of a 5-minute tow using an ottertrawl net, with 13 mm distance between opposite knots, towed at an average speed of 2.0 knots. Sampling locations included the ''Saco da Mang...

Four portunid crabs species, including an exotic one, are recorded for the first time from the state of Sergipe, NE Brazil. Although common along the Brazilian coast, the new records of the crabs Callinectes bocourti A. Milne-Edwards, 1879, C. exasperatus (Gerstaecker, 1856), C. marginatus (A. Milne-Edwards, 1861) and Charybdis hellerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867) (Decapoda, Brachyura, Portunidae) reflect the poor knowledge about crustacean fauna in the state of Sergipe, and reinforce the need for systematic surveys to better understand the local biodiversity.
