“…Puls (2002) found that first zoeae of N. californiensis were more abundant in surface than in bottom waters during nocturnal ebb tides in the South Slough estuary, Oregon, whereas Pimentel (1983) found that they were uniformly distributed across depths over both tidal phases. Other Callianassids have been found to perform tidal migrations, e.g., Nihonotrypaea harmandi on the inner shelf of western Kyushu, Japan (Tamaki et al 2010).…”

We investigated the occurrence of behaviors that maximize predator avoidance and seaward transport in estuarine decapod zoeae by collecting larvae from discrete depths in a partially mixed estuary, Willapa Bay, Washington, USA, and relating their abundance and vertical distribution to a suite of environmental variables. Abundances of first zoeae of Neotrypaea californiensis and Pinnotheridae were associated with tidal phase, diel phase, and water height. Both taxa were most abundant during ebb tides, and abundances increased with water height, suggesting behaviors that enhanced seaward transport. Additionally, N. californiensis were both shallower and more abundant at night, indicative of behaviors to avoid visual predators. Our results suggest that both tidal transport and predator avoidance are important and sometimes interactive selective forces shaping larval decapod behavior.

“…Larval bi valves are thought to respond to lunar cues, which are generally linked to light intensity and/or a combination of tidal and diel cues (Manuel & O'Dor 1997). Older larvae of bivalves and decapods tend to be more abundant near the seafloor than younger ones, presumably due to an increase in specific gravity and change in morphology or behaviour (Brookins & Epifanio 1985, Tamaki et al 2010. Near-bottom distribution presumably enhances the probability of locating a suitable site for settlement.…”

“…In the field and laboratory, the vertical distribution of planktotrophic larvae is often related to the presence of food patches (Raby et al 1994, Metaxas & Young 1998, Sa meoto & Metaxas 2008b). Both bryozoan and caridean larvae have the chemosensory ability to detect food (Kingsford et al 2002), and laboratory observations have shown direc ted movement towards food supply for the decapod, Nihonotrypaea harmandi (Tamaki et al 2010). Once within the food patch (i.e.…”

Measurements of larval vertical distributions at high temporal and spatial resolutions as well as larval behavioural responses to environmental characteristics are needed to parameterize bio-physical models of larval dispersal or transport. We studied larval vertical distribution for 7 taxonomic groups (gastropods, bivalves, polychaetes, bryozoans, asteroids, carideans and brachyurans), with different morphology, swimming abilities and life-history strategies, and examined whether these vary with physical or biological factors and periodic cycles (diel period and tidal state) in the field. Using a pump, we collected plankton samples at 6 depths (3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 m), over a 36 and a 26 h period. Temperature, salinity, fluorescence and current velocity were measured concurrently. Larval vertical distribution varied among taxonomic groups, but 4 patterns could be distinguished: (1) larvae exclusively in the mixed layer (asteroids), (2) larvae predominantly below the thermocline, halocline and pycnocline (gastropods, bivalves, polychaetes), (3) larvae associated predominantly with the fluorescence maximum (bryozoans and carideans) and (4) larval distribution varying dielly (gastropods, polychaetes, carideans and brachyurans). Based on flow velocities and depending on distribution, asteroid larvae were likely to be transported farther than those of bryozoans and carideans, while direction and magnitude of transport varied for the other larvae. For most taxonomic groups, behaviour observed in the field agreed with measured laboratory responses to relevant cues. For asteroids and bivalves, simple beha vioural parameters can be generated that can be utilized to improve the accuracy of biophysical models.KEY WORDS: Vertical migration · Temperature · Fluorescence · Diel period · Water column structure · Larval behavior · Larval transport · Biophysical model parameters Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisherMar Ecol Prog Ser 469: [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] 2012 Horizontal currents can ad vect larvae of coastal species offshore, leading to failure of recruitment to nearshore habitats (Shanks 1995).Meroplankton are capable of movement against vertical currents, as their swimming or sinking speeds are greater than weak vertical current velocities (0.1 cm s −1 ) (Chia et al. 1984, Metaxas 2001. Larval movement between layers of different velocities can alter the horizontal direction and magnitude of larval transport and dispersal (DiBacco et al. 2001, Metaxas 2001. Through changes in buoyancy or propulsion by ciliary or muscular activity, some crustacean and bivalve larvae can cover large distances vertically, in some cases many times a day (Cronin & Forward 1986, dos Santos et al. 2008.

“…Larval distributions of near-shore marine invertebrates appear to be adapted for remaining in local circulation cells even in strong upwelling areas (Morgan et al 2009) and, not surprisingly, for returning to source populations and habitats (Wooldridge and Loubser 1996;Shanks and Roegner 2007). Behavioral adaptations for restricted larval dispersal are common among decapods, including thalassinid shrimp (Tamaki et al 2010, Wooldridge and Loubser 1996, Queiroga and Blanton 2005. The lack of mud shrimp host species in the Siberian Western Pacific Ocean (Williams 1986) also precludes O. griffenis dispersal across the North Pacific by island hopping through host populations.…”

An introduced Asian parasite threatens northeastern Pacific estuarine ecosystems

The introduced Asian parasitic bopyrid isopod, Orthione griffenis, was first discovered on the Pacific coast of North America in Washington in 1988 and next in California in 1992. The range of Orthione presently extends from British Columbia to Baja California, where it infests at least two species of the native estuary mud shrimp, Upogebia. Intense Orthione infestations are associated with the apparent demise of many local populations of Upogebia pugettensis yet nonindigenous origins of Orthione in North America and thus the ecological significance of its impacts have remained in doubt. Six criteria reveal that Orthione is introduced to North America: its conspecificity with disjunct Asian populations, its earliest (1950s) collections in Asia, its late discovery among symbiotic species associated with Upogebia, its historical absence, and its appearance in North America coincident with extensive new ballast water traffic from Asia. Orthione is the first recognized bopyrid isopod invasion globally. Coexistence of U. pugettensis, which are ecosystem engineers, with its newly acquired parasite cannot be assumed. Orthione threatens eastern Pacific estuary ecosystems where Upogebia were previously abundant.
