An assessment of juvenile Atlantic cod Gadus morhua distribution and growth using diver operated stereo-video surveys. [PDF]
Stereo‐video scuba transects were conducted during daylight hours from June to September 2013 within a proposed marine protected area (MPA) in the Firth of Clyde, west of Scotland. More juvenile Atlantic cod Gadus morhua of fork length (LF) range 6–11 cm were observed in substrata containing mixed gravel, including maerl, than in boulder‐cobble ...

Abstract Climate change can affect the habitat of marine species and hence their persistence and adaptation. Trends in area of occurrence and population biomass were examined for 177 fish and macroinvertebrates resident to the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem. Samples of these organisms were taken during a time series of research bottom trawl

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

Zoeal stages ofPseudomicippe variansMiers, 1879 (Decapoda: Brachyura: Majoidea: Majidae) and a comparison with other Majidae larvae [PDF]
Pseudomicippe varians Miers, 1879 is a majid crab recorded from Western Australia (Shark Bay) and northern Queensland. The zoeal stages are described from laboratory reared material. The zoeal stages of P. varians can be easily distinguished by the absence of carapace spines and extremely large mandibles.

Influence of starvation and feeding on the hepatopancreas of larvalHyas araneus (Decapoda, Majidae) [PDF]
Zoea-1 larvae ofHyas araneus were kept under different nutritional conditions. Their midgut glands were investigated with a transmission electron microscope. The glandular epithelium consists of the cell types known from adult decapods. It is mainly the R-cell type that undergoes ultrastructural alterations which reflect nutritional conditions. R-cells
