mRNA profile provides novel insights into stress adaptation in mud crab megalopa, Scylla paramamosain after salinity stress

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Mud crab, Scylla paramamosain, a euryhaline crustacean species, mainly inhabits the Indo-Western Pacific region. Wild mud crab spawn in high-salt condition and the salinity reduced with the growth of the hatching larvae.

Intraspecific interactions in the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Decapoda: Ocypodidae) during the metamorphosis and post-metamorphosis periods under laboratory conditions

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011
Current efforts for restocking natural populations of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763) in Brazil have focused on developing a methodology for stimulating the metamorphosis of U. cordatus larvae at a large scale.

Larval development of Clastotoechus nodosus (Streets, 1872) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Porcellanidae), under laboratory conditions

Scientia Marina, 2003
The larval development of Clastotoechus nodosus is described and illustrated from specimens obtained from four females collected in shallow waters from Cubagua island, Venezuela (southeastern Caribbean) and reared in the laboratory. C. nodosus hatches as

Impaired larval development at low salinities could limit the spread of the non-native crab Hemigrapsus takanoi in the Baltic Sea

Aquatic Biology, 2021
The Asian shore crab Hemigrapsus takanoi, native to the northwest Pacific Ocean, was recently discovered in Kiel Fjord (southwestern Baltic Sea). In laboratory experiments, we tested the salinity tolerance of H.

A Review of the Nursery Culture of Mud Crabs, Genus Scylla: Current Progress and Future Directions

Animals, 2021
The nursery stages of mud crab, genus Scylla, proceed from the megalopa stage to crablet instar stages. We review the definition and several of the key stages in mud crab nursery activities.

Postembryonic development of Pyromaia tuberculata (Lockington, 1877): a review of larval and postlarval morphology

Scientia Marina, 2003
The spider crab Pyromaia tuberculata (Lockington, 1877) (Decapoda, Majidae) has been recorded from eastern Pacific coasts (México to Colombia), the western Pacific (Japan and New Zealand) and the western Atlantic (southern Brazil, near Rio de la Plata ...

Comparative transcriptome, digital gene expression and proteome profiling analyses provide insights into the brachyurization from the megalopa to the first juvenile in Eriocheir sinensis

Heliyon, 2023
Eriocheir sinensis larva normally experiences 11 stages. The reduced abdomen folded beneath the thorax is the most prominent characteristic of morphological alteration from megalopa to juvenile crab.

Turbine Sound May Influence the Metamorphosis Behaviour of Estuarine Crab Megalopae

PLoS ONE, 2012
It is now widely accepted that a shift towards renewable energy production is needed in order to avoid further anthropogenically induced climate change. The ocean provides a largely untapped source of renewable energy. As a result, harvesting electrical power from the wind and tides has sparked immense government and commercial interest but with ...

Induction of settlement in crab megalopae by ambient underwater reef sound [PDF]

Behavioral Ecology, 2009
The larvae of a number of crab species have been found to orientate and swim toward ambient underwater sound emanating from coastal settlement habitats. This current study examined whether ambient underwater sound also has the potential to trigger settlement responses in crab larvae.
