Milne Edwards, 1837) on various timescales. This study validates the use of the water content (% wet mass) of the digestive gland as an indicator of nutritional condition in the lobster (carapace length 65–127 mm) by assessing its capacity to estimate digestive-gland lipid reserves under variable environmental and physiological conditions. The validation was completed using samples from wild lobsters dissected shortly after being captured during different seasons and in various locations in the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL), and data from an environmentally realistic laboratory study on post-ovigerous females from the southern and the northern GSL sampled at different stages of their molt cycle. In both wild and experimental lobsters, water content was the best predictor of lipid reserves compared to other condition indicators (i.e., condition factor, various digestive-gland indices, and hemolymph Brix index). A strong linear relationship was found between lipid and water contents. Lipid content and interrelated molting status were identified as two important factors leading to the variations in water-fat regression equations among groups of wild or experimental lobsters. As lipid content could vary spatiotemporally in unexpected ways in a changing environment, it is recommended to use a sampling event-specific regression line to estimate digestive-gland lipid content from measured water content in field monitoring programs. Combining water content with molt status indicators such as Brix index is recommended to support interpretation of the observed variations in condition.","PeriodicalId":54850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crustacean Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49124819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge of the species diet plays a prime effect on its biological aspects and its role in the ecological energetics of the community. All the analyses were performed in accordance with ecological (season) and biological factors (sex, size, and gonadal stages). The species was found to prey on diversified components such as detritus, foraminiferans, other crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms, and fishes in their declining order of preponderance. Multivariate analysis of variance showed a significant difference (P<0.05) in the diet components according to the combination of sex along with season and gonadal stages. Values of the gastro-somatic index (GSI) showed a positive correlation with feeding activity, and its intensity. GSI, feeding intensity, and activity reached their peak values during the post-monsoon season. High vacuity index was recorded in almost all conditions, which is a highlighted feature of this species. These observations provide fundamental information on the feeding pattern of H. woodmasoni, which aims to develop suitable fishing strategies in the future.","PeriodicalId":54850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crustacean Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45989007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three hundred and thirty-five samples of M. rosenbergii comprising 41.5% males and 58.5% females were collected from August 2019 to October 2020. The bulk of the sample collection had small claws (69.1%), whereas those with orange and blue claws constituted 19.1% and 11.8%, respectively. The result obtained from the analysis of nine sets of morphometric data for both sexes showed univariate morphometric similarities and wide overlap in principal component analysis (PCA) without separation into unique clusters. Comparison by claw-type showed significant variation in the univariate analysis of the morphometric parameters measured in the following order: blue claw &amp;gt; orange claw &amp;gt; small claw. PCA did not cluster the prawns into different groups, hence multivariate analysis of morphometric parameters cannot be used to distinguish the prawn by claw type should the appendages be lost. Comparisons of the length-weight relationship data and condition factor suggest that the Terengganu River prawn population had a positive allometric growth pattern and were in good condition. The Pearson’s correlation analysis also showed a largely positive relationship between the morphometric data collected (with a few exceptions in the different morphotypes). The morphological measurements could not therefore be used to discriminate the sex and claw-type of freshwater prawn M. rosenbergii in the Nyatoh River.","PeriodicalId":54850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crustacean Biology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135185650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study of the genetic diversity of this species in the Persian Gulf (northwestern Indian Ocean) using the COX1 mitochondrial marker estimates the genetic connectivity of the barnacle between the Persian Gulf and two western Pacific regions. No significant genetic differentiation is evident between the Persian Gulf and the western Pacific, but the moderate level of genetic connectivity found between these areas across the Indian Ocean is likely mediated by migratory sea turtles. Based on the present analysis, the Persian Gulf displays a lower genetic diversity than the diversity of the western Pacific populations but shares some haplotypes with the latter.","PeriodicalId":54850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crustacean Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49579883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Potamonautes warreni (Calman, 1918) is a true freshwater crab inhabiting rivers in proximity to mining activities in South Africa. In order to assess whether the uptake of zinc (Zn2+) and cadmium (Cd2+) were associated with Na+- and Ca2+-uptake routes, individuals of P. warreni were acclimated to different Na+ or Ca2+ concentrations before measuring trace-metal uptake into the haemolymph and tissues in an intermediate freshwater. Cd2+ uptake into the haemolymph was elevated following acclimation to ‘Na+ replete’ conditions, when compared with ‘Na+ deplete’ conditions, indicating that a physiological response to the acclimation salinity had influenced Cd2+ uptake. Zn2+ uptake by the whole body was elevated in P. warreni individuals from the ‘Na+ replete’ group when compared with crabs acclimated to Na+ free water. A general change in permeability may have occurred and indeed, the apparent water permeability (water efflux) of P. warreni was increased in elevated Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations compared with that in softer water. A comparison of the osmoregulatory ability between P. warreni and the catadromous crab Eriocheir sinensisH. Milne Edwards, 1853 highlighted the greater permeability of the latter. Lower Zn2+ and Cd2+ uptake rates were measured in P. warreni in comparison to those measured in E. sinensis by other authors, indicating that the more well adapted a species is to life in freshwater, the less susceptible they will be to metal uptake. Future investigations to understand further the mechanisms influencing Zn2+ and Cd2+ uptake are required to understand the role that salinity can play in protecting a species from trace-metals released into the environment.","PeriodicalId":54850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Crustacean Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43097009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tissue distribution showed that the mRNA expression level of HSL in the hepatopancreas was significantly higher than that in other tissues (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the HSL expression in hepatopancreas was upregulated with the increase of dietary lipids but partially inhibited when the ratio of phospholipids was increased in the lipid mixture.
