“…A similar pattern has been recorded in other crustacean larvae, including those of shrimp and prawns (e.g. Palaemon serratus [Yúfera and Rodríguez 1985a], Palaemonetes varians [Yúfera and Rodríguez 1985b], Metapenaeus ensis [Chu and Shing 1986], Lucifer faxoni [Vega‐Pérez et al 1996], and Macrobrachium rosenbergii [Barros and Valenti 2003]), crabs (e.g. Ranina ranina [Minagawa and Murano 1993], Scylla serrata [Suprayudi et al 2002] and Eriocheir sinensis [Sui et al 2009]), mysids ( Rhopalophthalmus africana [Kouassi et al 2006]), and lobsters ( Nephrops norvegicus [Pochelon et al 2009]).…”

“…This indicated the presence of some form of active capture mechanism during this life phase. Increased daytime feeding behavior has been observed in the larvae of the crustaceans Ranina ranina (Minagawa 1994), Lucifer faxoni (Vega‐Pérez et al 1996), Clausocalanus furcatus (Uttieri et al 2008), and Eriocheir sinensis (Sui et al 2009). This behavior was attributed to the increase in swimming activity in the presence of light (Uttieri et al 2008; Sui et al 2009).…”

The present study analyzed the effects of prey density, the time of day, and ontogenetic development on the predation of Artemia nauplii by the larvae of the Amazon river prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum, as well as possible synergy among these factors. Larvae were raised in 120-L tanks with biological filter systems, and fed on recently hatched Artemia nauplii, using two feeding management protocols: (a) fed once per day at 2000 h (high density -HD) and (b) half of the ration provided at 2000 h, complemented at 0800 h the following day by a replacement of the nauplii consumed up to a maximum of the full ration (low density with replacement -LDWR). Each treatment consisted of six replicates. The consumption of nauplii was estimated prior to the feeding times. Consumption varied according to time of day, ontogenetic development, and feeding protocol. The larvae ingested more nauplii during the daytime at most developmental stages. Ingestion rates were similar during the day under both treatments, but at night the higher density of prey in the HD treatment caused a higher encounter rate and increased ingestion of nauplii by the larvae. Among the performance indicators only survival was greater in HD in comparison with LDWR; productivity and dry weight were similar. The results indicate a circadian trophic rhythm in M. amazonicum, with the encounter rate being an important mechanism for the capture of prey during the night. A second mechanism -probably the visual system -aids the perception of prey during the daytime. Based on these results, we suggest that feeding captive Amazon river prawn larvae only once a day would be appropriate and economically beneficial. Further work is necessary to determine the most effective time that this single feed should be applied.

“…The family Luciferidae De Haan, 1849[in De Haan, 1833-1850 is composed of small (1-2 cm) holoplanktonic shrimp that are of great importance to the recycling of nutrients and the distribution of organic material (VEGA-PÉREZ, 1996;FUGIMURA et al, 2005). Of the seven species recognized in the genus Lucifer Thompson (1829), only L. faxoni Borradaile (1915) and L. typus H. MilneEdwards (1837) occur in the west Atlantic (D' INCAO, 1997;COSTA et al, 2000).…”

The distribution of the species of Lucifer Thompson, 1829 (Decapoda: Luciferidae) in the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre was assessed by the Brazil Transatlantic Commission in November and December 2009. The samples were collected at 83 stations on two profiles between Brazil and Africa (20 º and 30 ºS). Oblique hauls were performed with a WP-2 net up to 150 meters deep. A distinct sexual relationship was noted between the two species found and L. faxoni presented a significantly higher number of females relative to males 1:0.5 (X2 = 21.77, p = 0.0001). The L. typus sex ratio had significantly more males than females 1.86:1 (X2=50.84, p = 0.0001). The distribution of L. typus occurred in both the western and the eastern portions of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge. This distribution was significantly related to salinity (R2 = 0:13; F = 3.79, p = 0.009), which was higher in the western portion of the study area. In addition, the recordings of the two species were extended to the Atlantic Subtropical Gyre. Overall, Luciferidae shrimp were more common and abundant at the stations west of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge and L. typus was the most frequent and abundant species.

“…While other sensory organs such as lateral line play role in detecting prey under dim or dark condition. Several studies on ingestion experiments of crustacean species are performed to investigate the optimum food density (Yufera, Rodriguez & Lubian, 1984;Chu & Shing, 1986;Zhang, Lin & Creswell, 1998) and feeding schedule (Vega-Perez, Ara, Liang & Pedreira, 1996;Barros & Valenti., 2003;Martin et al, 2006). However, limited information available on the feeding activity of L. vannamei under light and dark condition and the sensory organ/s that are responsible in food searching under those conditions.…”

The present study was conducted to elucidate the effects of light and dark condition on the feeding activity of shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Examination on the ingestion rate of shrimps at different sizes (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 cm total length, TL) under light and dark condition was conducted using newly hatched frozen Artemia nauplii. For each condition, shrimp were let to ingest known number of Artemia nauplii for 30 minutes, thereafter the remaining Artemia nauplii was counted. For the observation of eye structures under light and dark conditions, 1.0 cm TL shrimps were preserved in Bouin's solution for histological observation. Another feeding trial was conducted to examine the growth performance and survival of shrimps (initial size 1.0± cm, TL) under different photoperiod regimes (24 hours dark: 24D, 24 hours light: 24L and 12 hours light and dark: 12LD) for three weeks. Results showed that, the 0.5cm TL shrimp significantly ingested more Artemia nauplii under light condition compared to dark condition (P = 0.000). The 1.0 and 1.5 cm TL shrimps consumed Artemia naulplii equally under both conditions. The shrimp attained a complete eye structure which can be differentiated into crystalline cone, clear zone, rhabdom and fasciculated zone at 1.0cm TL. This study also showed that growth (P = 0.557) and survival (P = 0.686) of shrimps did not vary significantly among different photoperiod. This study suggests that the feeding activity of the smallest shrimp (0.5 cm TL) is affected by light condition. However, feeding activity, growth and survival of bigger sized shrimp (> 1.0 cm TL) were not affected by light and photoperiod regimes.
