The ability of Macrobrachium tenellum (Smith, 1871) juveniles to overcome an artificial barrier was evaluated, simulating an obstacle in their upstream migration, under an experimental laboratory system. The prawns were collected from a stream located in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (N = 1000). An experimental recirculation system was used, which consisted of a tank with a capacity of 600 L, a sheet of galvanized steel that acted as an anthropogenic barrier and two submersible electric pumps with flows of 0.12 L/s and 0.40 L/s. In this system, two inclinations of the barrier were tested, 45° and 90° in combination with the two flows. The results show that there are significant differences between the treatments with different inclinations, where a higher stimulation response was observed at the 90° angle. Within this inclination, the flow of 0.40 L/s produced the highest stimulation to climb the barrier in prawns between 30 and 60 mm in length. This study demonstrates the direct relationship between the slope and the effect of water flow of the anthropogenic barriers that hinder the migration process of M. tenellum.","PeriodicalId":56265,"journal":{"name":"Nauplius","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45151945","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}

Specimens were collected manually every month over the course of a year. Adults were collected at four rocky outcrops in the upper and lower mid-littoral. Larvae were sampled at six points using horizontal trawls of the surface water. The sampling points represent the inner and outer estuary, its two margins, and varying gradients of salinity. The density of the zoea I and adults were higher on the margins with the highest sediment deposition rates and salinity. Only the density of the adults correlated significantly with salinity. Although ovigerous females were only collected in the rainiest periods, the presence of juveniles throughout the year indicates that the species reproduces continuously. The population parameters indicate that the density of P. gracilis was related to salinity, and that part of the life cycle of these crabs is completed in the Marapanim estuary. This species reproduces in the estuary, exports zoea I to the coastal waters and then probably returns as megalopae, responding to local conditions through systematic shifts in its distribution and abundance over time and space. The population was relatively stable and able to adjust to the considerable variation in abiotic factors that are typical of this estuary.","PeriodicalId":56265,"journal":{"name":"Nauplius","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42306828","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}

Swimming improves larvae dispersal and contributes to their response to environmental stresses, including variations in abiotic factors, presence of predators, and search for food. Data on larval behavior can also assist in studies on conservation and in species management in aquaculture. Unfortunately, swimming behavior remains unstudied in many species. The present work aims to analyze the swimming behavior in newly hatched larvae of six common decapod crustaceans in coastal Southeast Brazil (Macrobrachium acanthurus, Macrobrachium olfersii, Emerita brasiliensis, Ucides cordatus, Minuca rapax, and Callinectes danae). The analysis included tests with larval responses to four isolated stimuli: gravity (geotaxis), vertical salinity gradients, low-pressure zones, and presence of the planktivorous fish, Atherinella brasiliensis (only for C. danae and M. rapax). The first two and the last two stimuli were used as indicators of dispersal and defensive behaviors, respectively. All larvae preferred water depth with higher salinity levels. Additionally, negative geotaxis was observed in M. olfersii, M. acanthurus, U. cordatus, and C. danae, being stronger in the last. Both Macrobrachium larvae responded to low-pressure zones, promptly moving away. Callinectes danae and M. rapax larvae avoided contact with the predatory fish by creating avoidance zones around it, even in the absence of light. This is an active defensive behavior that has never been reported for the newly hatched larvae of these two species.","PeriodicalId":56265,"journal":{"name":"Nauplius","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67334482","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}
