“…Suctorian ciliates are common commensals on the representatives of marine meiofauna including nematodes, halacarids, harpacticoid copepods, kinorhynchs etc. from different regions around the world (Precht, 1935;Tato-Porto, 2000a, 2000b;Dovgal et al, 2008aDovgal et al, , 2008bDovgal et al, , 2009aDovgal et al, , 2009bIngole et al, 2010;Chatterjee et al, , 2013Chatterjee et al, a, 2013bChatterjee et al, , 2013Chatterjee et al, c, 2014aChatterjee et al, , 2014bChatterjee et al, , 2018.

This study presents the data on the new finding of suctorian ciliate Paracineta irregularis on halacarid mite Rhombognathus sp. from the Sea of Marmara, Turkey. Diagnostic characters of P. irregularis such as contractility of tentacles and position of macronucleus are emended based on the material collected from the new locality. The mode of the species reproduction by semi-circumvaginative exogemmic budding is described for the first time.

“…The loricae, 72-85 µm in length, 45-47 µm in diameter, are annulated with 22-24 horizontal ribs, the stalk is almost as long as the lorica, the slightly ovate macronucleus about 12 µm in length, and the more than 20 tentacles are arranged in a single bundle. Most likely it is a Thecacineta calix (Schröder, 1907) which is a cosmopolitan species found on a variety of taxa (Chatterjee et al 2014).…”

Thalassarachna Basteri and T. Affinis (Acari, Halacaridae), History, Characters, Biology, and Distribution

Thalassarachna basteri and T. affinis are known since more than a century. Though frequently found in shallow water areas, there exist only very few descriptions of their external characters. These and distinguishing characters are outlined, data of habitat, life cycle, feeding, and distribution are given. Adults and nymphs of T. basteri and T. affinis can be discriminated on the basis of the shape of the frontal spine and number of spines on leg I. Thalassarachna basteri is regularly found in cold-temperate and polar areas, both on the eastern and western coast of the North Atlantic whereas most records of T. affinis are from the warm-temperate eastern North Atlantic.

“…Many species are recognised as neocosmopolitan (i.e., human-mediated cosmopolitan species; see [16]) as well as widespread in invaded regions [17][18][19][20]. Some amphipods are also known to bear different epibionts that, in some cases, would benefit from their basibiont movement without harming the host [21][22][23][24]. Accordingly, amphipods might be effective vectors for some organisms that are directly associated with them.…”

Diatom Epibionts on Amphipod Crustaceans: A Possible Vector for Co-introductions?

Epibiotic associations can result in co-introductions of non-indigenous species, which may affect ecosystems in several ways. In fouling communities of three estuaries in southern Brazil, a number of amphipods was found to harbour a dense coverage of epibionts. Three different species, the two globally widespread caprellids Caprella equilibra and Paracaprella pusilla, as well as the ischyrocerid Jassa valida, had been colonised by diatoms. Further scanning electron microscope analyses assigned these diatoms to 14 different species that had previously been reported from benthic habitats. This is one of the scarce records of diatoms attached to amphipods. The occurrence of the diatom Amphora helenensis represents the first report for Brazilian waters as well as the second record for the whole SW Atlantic Ocean. As some diatoms were associated with common fouling amphipods, a possible regional spread aided by these crustaceans seems likely. Possible effects of this amphipod-diatom association on the animals and their implications for the underlying ecosystems of this remain to be elucidated.
