“…The latter has been typically reported in the context of retention and reinvasion mechanisms for the larvae of species which as adults occur in estuaries. Field surveys in estuaries have reported such behaviour in the larvae of molluscs (Carriker 1951, 1961, Wood & Hargis 1971, crab zoeae (DeCoursey 1976, Cronin & Forward 1982, cl-ab megalopae (Epifanio et al 1984, Brookins & Epifanio 1985, Mense & Wenner 1989, Dittel & Epifanio 1990, Little & Epifanio 1991, De Vries et al 1994, Olmi 1994, Queiroga et al 1994, penaeid postlarvae (Young & Carpenter 1977, Rothlisberg et al 1995 and planktonic copepods (Wooldridge & Erasmus 1980, Hough & Naylor 1991. However, no attention appears to have been paid to the possible occurrence of tidal vertical migration in the larvae of open coast species.…”

Employing a highly sensitive infra-red Light actography system, circatidal rhythms of vertical migration were recorded in first stage zoea larvae of the common shore crab Carcinusmaenas (L.), freshly collected from coastal waters. The rhythms persisted in constant conditions in the laboratory for several days, ascent occurring at the times of expected e b b tides at collection sites, and descent during expected flood tides. Timing was identical in larvae sampled at different stage of s p r i n g h e a p cycle and from sites where different hydrodynamic condit~ons prevail. These cxperlments, supported by repeated surface plankton samples rzrhich confirmed that zoea-l larvae of C. maenas were most abundant at the surface during ebb tides, suggest that the vertical m~gration behaviour might be linked with avoidance of stranding and offshore dispersal of newly released larvae The fact that tidal migration rhythm was exhibited by larvae collected from different sites impl~es that the behaviour is probably widespread for the species. So far, endogenous tidal rhythms of vertical migration in plankton have been demonstrated solely in a few estuarine forms, and have been interpreted only as estuarine retention or reinvasion mechanisms. Present results appear to be the first to demonstrate that endogenous tidal rhythms also exist in the planktonic larvae of a coastal Invertebrate and suggest that these larvae may have an adaptive mechanism to avoid stranding and enhance offshore dispersal in the open sea.

“…Thereafter, when the tidal inflow increases its intensity, most of the Pls have entered during the first hours. Similarly, Rothlisberg et al (1995) recorded the highest postlarval immigration peaks two hours after the beginning of the flow tide. In Australia, high densities of Pls entered the estuary during the first half of the high tide current (Young & Carpenter, 1977).…”

“…The recruitment is affected by spawning cycles, ocean circulation patterns, and their seasonal changes. The accumulation of postlarvae at estuarine systems inlets, the interaction between tidal currents, and the behavior of larvae create significant recruitment variability into coastal lagoons (Rothlisberg et al, 1995;Noriega & Juárez, 2002;Criales et al, 2010).…”

ABSTRACT. The immigration of white shrimp Penaeus setiferus (Decapoda: Penaeidae) postlarvae (Pls) into the Terminos Lagoon was studied to determine the annual pattern of abundance and its relationship with temperature, salinity, tidal current velocity, and river discharge. Zooplankton samples were simultaneously obtained fortnightly at surface, mid-water, and bottom. The nets used were 50 cm in diameter, 1.5 m in length and 505 μm mesh size. The results indicated a postlarval seasonal immigration pattern, with the lowest average density values from March to May and October to November, and significantly higher values from June to September; maximum peaks occurred in June and September. High Pls densities were obtained between one and three hours after the tidal inflow started. Temperature and salinity varied little during each sampling period and had no apparent effect on immigration, but did have an effect on the seasonal abundance cycle. The multiple regression models indicated that the tidal current velocity and the temperature explained 86% of the variation in Pls abundance during immigration to the Terminos lagoon. The larval migration varied at different levels, with highest densities occurring at a medium depth of 5 m. The Pls entered an optimal range of tidal current velocity (between 0.6 and 0.9 m 3 s -1). The main entry mechanism was through the tide current of the Selective Tide Stream Transport, where the Pls could also select an optimum current velocity, avoiding the strata of higher turbulence that would imply higher energy expenditures.

“…Large females (between 4 and 6 cm in carapace length, CL) can produce up to 1 million planktonic eggs which hatch into nauplius larvae in offshore waters (Dall et al 1990a). These larvae are then transported southward to shallow nursery habitats within estuaries via the Eastern Australian Current (Montgomery 1990, Rothlisberg et al 1995. The larvae remain within these nursery habitats, where they develop into juveniles (Young 1978, Reid & Montgomery 2005.…”

The mechanisms that drive density dependence are rarely studied in the applied context of population management. We examined the potential for competition for food and shelter and the resulting demographic density dependence to influence how well populations of the eastern king prawn Penaeus plebejus Hess can recover following marine stock enhancement programmes in which captive-bred juveniles are released into the wild. Specifically, manipulative laboratory experiments were used to quantify the differential effects of competition for food and competition for shelter on survival of wild and captive-bred P. plebejus as densities were increased and as each category of P. plebejus (wild or captive-bred) was supplemented with the alternate category. Increasing population densities when food and shelter were limited lowered survival for both categories. When food was limited, survival of both categories was unaffected by addition of the alternative category. Adding wild P. plebejus to their captive-bred counterparts when shelter was limited under laboratory conditions resulted in significantly higher mortality in captive-bred individuals. In contrast, adding captive-bred P. plebejus to wild individuals under these conditions did not affect wild P. plebejus. We conclude that if the current results can be extended to wild conditions, competition for shelter may lead to the loss of captive-bred P. plebejus, thereby reducing the intended outcomes of stock enhancement. This highlights the importance of investigating interactions between wild and captive-bred animals prior to stock enhancement to predict long-term outcomes and identify situations where stock enhancement could be an effective response to the loss of populations or recruitment limitation.
