SOME CASES OF MACRO-EPIBIOSIS ON THE INVASIVE CRAYFISH ORCONECTES LIMOSUS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Several cases of epibiosis by macro-invertebrates on Orconectes limosus were recorded during our research on the biology of populations of this invasive crayfish species in the Czech Republic. (1) In 2001, we observed a high infestation of O.

Epibiosis and molting in two species of Callinectes (Decapoda: Portunidae) from Brazil
The external infestatíon of Callinectes omatus Ordway, 1863 and Callinectes danae Smith, 1869, in particular cirrípeds, was studied for two consecutive years in the Ubatuba Bay (SP) (230 26' S and 45° 02' W). Bryozoans, polychaetes and cirripeds were found on both swimming crab species, but cirrípeds were the most abundant and frequent.

Variations of biofouling communities in an off-shore fish cage farm from North-Western Sardinia = Variazioni del biofouling in un allevamento ittico in gabbie off-shore della Sardegna nord-occidentale [PDF]
Biofouling variations were studied in a fish farming facility near Alghero (Italy) between November 2007 and November 2008. Net panels suitable for the settlement of encrusting organisms were immersed in cages in which large and small gilthead seabream ...

Infestation by the epibiont Octolasmis lowei in a portunid crab assemblage from a subtropical coast
We investigated the infestation by Octolasmis lowei Darwin, 1851 in branchial chambers of the portunid Achelous spinimanus (Latreille, 1819), Arenaeus cribrarius (Lamarck, 1818), Callinectes danae Smith, 1869, and Callinectes ornatus Ordway, 1863.
