Freshwater caridean shrimps account for approximately a quarter of all described Caridea, numerically dominated by the Atyidae and Palaemonidae. With the exception of Antarctica, freshwater shrimp are present in all biogeographical regions. However, the Oriental region harbours the majority of species, whilst the Nearctic and western Palaearctic are very species-poor. Many species are important components of subsistence fisheries, whilst the Giant River Prawn forms the basis of an extensive aquaculture industry. A total of 13 species are threatened or endangered, with one species formally extinct.

Silver stage specimens of Anguilla bicolor bicolor and A. marmorata were fished with a keep net in an estuary of the Reunion island (Indian ocean). Such silver anguillids eels have not been pointed out since the years 1957-1958 in South Africa. This short note gives the first morphometric observations of these specimens, before starting histological, endocrinological and otolithometrical analysis, that should contribute to a have a better undestanding of these tropical eels species biological cycle. PREMIÈRES OBSERVATIONS D'ANGUILLES ARGENTÉES ANGUILLA BICOLOR BICOLOR ET ANGUILLA MARMORATA DANS L'ÎLE DE LA RÉUNION. RÉSUMÉDes anguilles Anguilla bicolor bicolor et A. marmorata au stade argenté ont été pêchées à la nasse dans un estuaire de l'île de la Réunion (océan Indien). De telles anguilles argentées n'avaient pas été signalées depuis les années 1957-58 en Afrique du Sud. Cette courte note présente les premières observations morphométriques de ces spécimens, avant d'entreprendre des analyses histologiques, endocrinologiques et otolithométriques, qui devraient contribuer à une meilleure connaissance du cycle biologique de ces espèces tropicales.

“…The long-finned eels A. mossambica and A. nebulosa labiata occur exclusively on the East African coast and in the Mascarene Islands (Ege 1939, Jubb 1961, while the short-finned eel A. bicolor bicolor occurs throughout the Indian Ocean, from the western part of the African continent and islands (Ege 1939, Jespersen 1942, Frost 1957, Jubb 1961, Castle 1984, 1986, Marquet et al 1997) to eastern Asia (Indian coast, Malaysia, Sumatra, Java) and NW Australia (Ege 1939, Arai et al 1999a). The long-finned mottled A. marmorata is the most widely distributed eel species, occurring from the SE African coast to the Japan-ese archipelago and Polynesia (Ege 1939, Nishi & Imai 1969, Marquet & Lamarque 1986, Jellyman 1987, Marquet & Galzin 1991, Williamson & Boëtius 1993, Budimawan 1997, Marquet et al 1997, Arai et al 2002.

Anguillid glass eels were sampled between October 2000 and October 2001 in an estuarine goby-fry traditional fishery of Réunion Island (21°S, 56°E), Mascarene Islands, western Indian Ocean. Recruitment occurred from November to April. Among the 633 specimens collected, 4 species were identified by biometric measurements coupled with number of vertebrae (61.9% of the specimens were Anguilla marmorata, 19.4% A. bicolor bicolor, 18.3% A. mossambica and 0.3% A. nebulosa labiata). A. mossambica had the shortest total length at recruitment (51.2 ± 2.7 mm), compared to A. marmorata (53.3 ± 2.5 mm) and A. bicolor bicolor (54.0 ± 2.1 mm). Most juvenile pigmentation corresponded to the glass eel stage (VA to VB). We extracted 34 otoliths and visualized their microstructure by SEM. The short-finned A. bicolor bicolor had the shortest leptocephalus stage (46.2 ± 5.8 d) and age at recruitment (79.8 ± 7.7 d). The long-finned glass eels had the same age at recruitment (120.2 ± 24.7 and 123.6 ± 17 d for A. marmorata and A. mossambica respectively) and the same leptocephalus stage duration (96.9 ± 26.4 and 102.1 ± 17.2 d for A. marmorata and A. mossambica respectively). Otolith readings and sampling dates showed that A. mossambica hatched about 2 mo earlier than A. marmorata. Their identical early life histories should imply adjoining spawning grounds, whereas A. bicolor bicolor must spawn in a distinctive location. Hypotheses for spawning area locations are discussed as a function of the region's oceanic circulation.
