“…Comparing the range of size variation in L. siriboia with the results of the study by BOTTER-CARVALHO (2007), the individuals in the Marapanim are smaller than those found in the state of Pernambuco (northeastern Brazil). The size frequency distribution of L. siriboia in relation to the months of the year suggests that there are two recruitment periods for the species, with the most intensive entrance of juveniles (CL < 6 mm) in August/September and the least intensive in April.…”

“…Therefore, the type of sediment could act as a limiting factor for this species, which explains the greater concentration of this crustacean in the lower portion of mid-littoral zone, which is a region that is less subject to desiccation. Studies on C. major have found that this species has a preference for sediments with very fine, well selected sand (SOUZA & BORZONE 2003, BOTTER-CARVALHO 2007. In a study on the biology of Upogebia paraffinis Williams, 1993 and the new occurrence of the species in the state of Paraná in southern Brazil, MELO et al (2004) found that the species demonstrated a preference for dark sandy-muddy material stemming from the decomposition of vegetal matter from nearby mangroves.…”

“…Thalassinidean species exercise considerable influence over the dynamics of coastal sediments and the structure of coastal benthic communities (BOTTER-CARVALHO 2007). Through their burrowing and feeding mechanisms, these organisms cause the large-scale remobilization of the substrate (bioturbation) and the circulation of water in the interior of the galleries (RODRIGUES & PEZZUTO 1999).…”

“…They also enhance oxygenation and mineralization processes in the interior of the sediment and play an important role in the recycling of organic matter and nutrients imprisoned in the substrate by the process of sedimentation. However, with this churning of the sediment, thalassinideans may cause the remobilization and redistribution of pollutants such as radioactive elements and heavy metals (BOTTER-CARVALHO 2007).…”

Species composition and abundance of the benthic community of Axiidea and Gebiidea (Crustacea: Decapoda) in the Marapanim Bay, Amazon estuary, northern Brazil

The thalassinideans (Axiidea and Gebiidea) encompasses approximately 615 species with reclusive habits, generally confined to extensive galleries burrowed into the sand or mud and, more rarely, in openings in reefs or the cavities of sessile animals such as sponges and coral. These species use the galleries for shelter, feeding and breeding, except during the pelagic larval stage. They inhabit estuaries, bays, lagoons, beaches, seas and both tropical and temperate oceanic areas throughout the world, distributed predominantly in the intertidal zone (mid-littoral and infralittoral zones). The aim of the present study was to assess the species composition and abundance of thalassinideans, comparing two micro-habitats (consolidated and non-consolidated substrates), and determine whether there is a correlation between abundance of the organisms and time of the year, collection sites or salinity. Twelve monthly samplings were carried out between August 2006 and July 2007 over consolidated and non-consolidated bottoms of the upper and lower portions of the mid-littoral zones, with three sub-samplings, totaling 48 monthly samples and 576 in all. A total of 651 individuals were collected - 114 Lepidophthalmus siriboia Felder & Rodrigues, 1993 and 537 Upogebia vasquezi Ngoc-Ho, 1989. There was correlation between the abundance of both species and salinity, but U. vasquezi was more abundant in the rainy season. Lepidophthalmus siriboia appears to prefer non-consolidated substrates, whereas U. vasquezi prefers consolidated substrates. The recruitment period for the callianassid L. siriboia appears to occur in just two periods of the year and is more intense in the dry season, whereas U. vasquezi is more frequent throughout the year. The smallest and largest sizes (carapace length - CL) recorded for L. siriboia were smaller than those recorded for the species in northeastern region of Brazil. CL values for ovigerous females suggest that U. vasquezi reaches sexual maturity at a smaller size than L. siriboia

“…For many species of thalassinidean shrimps (including previous fi ndings of T. australiensis) a sex ratio of 1:1 [Nihonotrypaea harmandi (as Callianassa japonica); Tamaki et al, 1997, Callianassa fi lholi;Berkenbusch and Rowden, 1998] or a sex ratio biased towards females has been found (T. australiensis; Hailstone and Stephenson, 1961, T. australiensis;Kenway, 1981, Lepidophthalmus (as Callianassa) louisianensis; Felder and Lovett, 1989, Callichirus major;Botter-Carvalho et al, 2007;T. australiensis;Rotherham and West, 2009).…”

This study compared the population biology of two co-existing species of ghost shrimps, Trypaea australiensis Dana 1952 and Biffarius arenosus (Poore 1975), over a two year period at Warneet and Crib Point in Western Port, Victoria, south-eastern Australia. Overall, the sex ratio in populations of T. australiensis varied considerably (male and female biases were found at different times) whereas the sex ratio of B. arenosus was generally 1:1 or female biased. A male biased sex ratio was found in the juvenile size class of populations of T. australiensis (both years) and B. arenosus (one year only). Both species reproduced in spring and summer in Western Port and juveniles appeared to recruit into the populations all year round. The embryo and clutch size of T. australiensis females was signifi cantly larger than B. arenosus, and a signifi cant relationship between female body size and clutch size (but not embryo size) was found for both species. Comparisons between this and other population studies of T. australiensis and B. arenosus were made to highlight any latitudinal variation in the reproduction and breeding biology of these species along the eastern coast of Australia.
