Xenodiversity of decapod species (Crustaceea: Decapoda: Reptantia) from the Romanian waters

Abstract

Xenodiversity of decapod species (Crustaceea: Decapoda: Reptantia) from the Romanian waters This paper is a synthesis of the faunistic data present in the specialized literature on the alien decapod species identified in the Romanian fauna between 1951 and 2010: Orconectes limosus (Rafinesque, 1817), Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896, Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould, 1841), Eriocheir sinensis H. Milne Edwards, 1853, Hemigrapsus sanguineus (de Haan, 1835), Palaemon macrodactylus Rathbun, 1902, Dyspanopeus sayi (Smith, 1869).

“…The Blue Crab Callinectes sapidus (Rathbun, 1896) (Portunidae), native to the Atlantic coast of the Americas, has been introduced to the North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and to Japanese coastal waters, establishing proliferating populations. The Mediterranean population, once established, expanded its range to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, as expected (Petrescu, Papadopol, and Nicolaev 2000;Streftaris, and Zenetos 2006;Petrescu et al 2010;Dulcic, Dragicevic, and Lipej 2010;Kapiris, Anastasopoulou, and Kouraklis 2011;Pashkov, Reshetnikov, and Bondarev 2011;Nehring 2011;Yağlıoğlu, Turan, and Öğreden 2014;Ak, Haşimoğlu, and Bayram 2015;Aydın 2017). Despite significant hydrological and ecological differences between the two latter seas and the Mediterranean, an assumption of the possibility of C. sapidus becoming a common member of the benthic communities of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov was coined decades ago (Monin 1984;Zaitsev 1998 There are information about find of Brown meagre or corb Sciaena umbra (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Jarilagatsky Gulf in 2016 in the presented paper.…”

First records of blue crab Callinectes sapidus (Rathbun 1869) on the north-western Black Sea shelf

Evolutionary relationships among American mud crabs (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Xanthoidea) inferred from nuclear and mitochondrial markers, with comments on adult morphology

“…Acantholobulus pacificus (Edmondson, ) and Panopeus lacustris Desbonne, in Desbonne & Schramm, )], only Panopeus africanus A. Milne‐Edwards, and Eurypanopeus blanchardi (A. Milne‐Edwards, ) (see Milne‐Edwards, ) are known to occur naturally outside of the Americas (e.g. Edmondson, , ; Naylor, ; Manning & Holthuis, ; Froglia & Speranza, ; Galil, Froglia & Noël, ; Felder & Martin, ; Carlton & Eldredge, ; Petrescu et al ., ; Ahyong & Wilkens, ; Brockerhoff & McLay, ; Castro, ).…”
