“…those females actually involved in the courtship and mating processes, then sex size differences do no longer exist, and females are even slightly larger than males. In other vent carideans such as Lebbeus virentova, females tend to be larger than males (Nye & Copley 2014), and a similar trend has been proposed for the cold-seep alvinocaridid A. muricola , based on maximum sizes of males and females (Ramirez-Llodra & Segonzac 2006). In R. hybisae, males and females exhibit similar sizes (Nye et al 2013).…”

Rimicaris exoculata is a dominant species of deep Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) vent fields and inhabits areas close to vent emissions at depths below 2000 m. Its high abundance and strong genetic connectivity along the MAR point at a remarkable ability to produce dispersing larval stages. However, the reproduction of this species long remained enigmatic because brooding females were rarely observed. Here, we describe the population structure and reproduction of R. exoculata at the Snake Pit and TAG vent fields (3600m depth) for the months of January-February. We observed major differences in population structure between habitats within a single vent field: females widely dominate the large swarms near active venting while inactive peripheries are inhabited by large males. Low temperature diffusion zones are mainly colonized by small juveniles of R. chacei instead of R. exoculata. Size structure of populations from dense active areas is polymodal at both fields, suggesting discontinuous recruitment. Male and female sizes did not vary across habitats and vent fields, with sexually mature female being slightly larger than males. In contrast to previous studies, hundreds of ovigerous females were observed at both vent fields, suggesting seasonal reproduction. Proportion of ovigerous females among sexually mature females were similar between vent fields (36.7 %). However, reproductive output was lower at TAG, where ovigerous females had smaller size-specific fecundity and egg size, and more aborted broods. Broods were colonized by the dirivultid copepod Stygiopontius pectinatus at both vent fields, apparently without deleterious effect on egg development. In the light of the observed variability in R. exoculata population structure, we propose a hypothetical scenario depicting its mating system and brooding behavior, and discuss more generally intraspecific interactions during its benthic life stages.

“…Effective collect-ing of Lebbeus species which have specialized modes of life requires targeted sampling (as partly applied in the present study) and even special methods, i.e. remotely operated vehicles [Nye, Copley, 2014;Schiaparelli et al, 2015] or whale-bone mooring [Nye, 2013], because their biotopes may be difficult for applying conventional gears.…”

“…Several species of Lebbeus are known to have particularly large eggs [Hendrickx, 2001;Nye, Copley, 2014;Sedova, Grigoriev, 2016]. For example, in L. polaris (Sabine, 1824) fertilized eggs are distinctly larger than in several other studied high latitude caridean species [Clark, 1996].…”

“…males. In terms of reproductive strategy, several factors may explain this size distribution, as fecundity and investment per gamete are positively correlated with female size in many shrimp species, and this trait may be advantageous in maximizing fitness (Berglund, 1981; Nye & Copley, 2014). This was corroborated by Pereira et al (2017), who found a positive relationship between carapace length and the number of embryos in N. schmitti sampled outside (Ubatuba‐São Paulo State) the Cabo Frio upwelling area.…”

“…Reproduction parameters are one of the most important life‐history features of any organism (Wehrtmann et al., 2012) and play a major role in the dynamics of the population and the biography and continuity of the species (Ramirez‐Llodra, 2002). Modes and patterns of reproduction in marine invertebrates are highly diverse and the variety of ocean habitats leads to variations in dispersal patterns and life histories (Kinlan & Gainés 2003; Young, 2003), which can be considered adaptations to optimize fitness in their respective environments (Nye & Copley, 2014).…”

Effects of the upwelling system on the assessment of reproductive parameters of the caridean shrimp Nematopalaemonschmitti (Holthuis, 1950) in the Western Atlantic

Nematopalaemon schmitti (Holthuis, 1950) is a caridean shrimp of the Palaemonidae family (Rafinesque, 1815) (Martin & Davis, 2001), distributed on the marine and estuarine waters of the Western Atlantic Ocean in shallow areas to 75 m depth (Ferreira et al., 2010;Holthuis, 1980). This species plays an important trophic role in the structure of non-consolidated environments both as a carnivorous predator and as a prey item for higher trophic levels (Herrera et al., 2017;Marioghae, 1989). Furthermore, it constitutes part of the bycatch taken in penaeid shrimp fisheries of high economic interest in Brazil, for example, seabob shrimp Xiphopenaeus kroyeri (Heller, 1862) (Costa et al., 2016).In the marine environment, the upwelling regions are considered as the most productive areas in the ocean due to cold and rich nutrient waters (Smith, 1968). Most of the regions of coastal upwelling in the world are located on the east coast of oceans: in Peru, Ecuador, California, and Oregon on the Pacific Ocean and northwest Africa and southern Benguela on the Atlantic Ocean (Franchito et al., 2008). However, on the Brazilian coast, the most intense upwelling system occurs on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, at Cabo Frio (23ºS, 42ºW) in Rio de Janeiro state (RJ), which is responsible for a high degree of biological enrichment and crucial importance for the entire biological community and conse-
