Welfare of Decapod Crustaceans with Special Emphasis on Stress Physiology
Despite the growing concern on animal welfare in crustacean farming, both from legislative bodies as well as the common public, studies on welfare are limited and transfer to routine farming is missing. While biocertification schemes such as the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) involve a welfare dimension, these dimensions cannot be communicated ...

Milky Disease: A Review of Discovery, Pathogens, and Detection Methods in Crabs
As an important economic crustacean in China, the crab has been a popular focus in aquaculture in recent years due to its high production and economic value. The epidemic of milky disease has severely damaged the crab farming industry, resulting in heavy economic losses and hindering the sustainable development of high‐quality crab farming. The disease

Abstract In response to widescale, voluntary uptake of escape gaps by commercial trappers using collapsible netted cylindrical (or “round”) traps targeting blue swimmer crabs, Portunus armatus, in south‐eastern Australia, an observer‐based study was used to assess the adoption and effectiveness of the most common escape gaps across two estuaries ...

Abstract Parasitic helminths with complex life cycles require multiple hosts in a particular order to complete their life cycles. Although almost all helminths infect invertebrates at some point in their life cycle, we know very little about which species of invertebrates harbor parasites compared with what is known for vertebrates. In New Zealand, <1%

First record of Charybdis japonica (Crustacea: Decapoda: Portunidae) in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
The possibility of introduction of marine organisms outside their original distribution range by shipping has been long recognized (Catta, 1876; Chilton, 1910). This phenomenon has increased dramatically worldwide in recent decades due to the increase of maritime traffic, speed of vessels and the practice of loading/discharge of ballast waters (Minchin

White spot syndrome virus host range and impact on transmission
Abstract White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the etiological agent of white spot disease (WSD), is a significant pathogen affecting shrimp farming industry worldwide. White spot syndrome virus is a generalist virus mainly infecting decapod crustaceans. The aims of this review were to: (1) Re‐evaluate and update the status of reported WSSV host and vector

Examining Epibenthic Assemblages Associated with Artificial Reefs Using a Species Archetype Approach
Abstract The placement of artificial reefs (ARs) influences, to various degrees, a wide range of epibenthic species, whereas most assessments focus on target or focal species. Methods of capturing the responses of many species can inform management about the full range of likely responses of species to the location and arrangement of ARs.
