Kembaren DD, Zairion, Kamal MM, Wardiatno Y. 2018. Abundance and spatial distribution of blue swimming crab (Portunuspelagicus) larvae during east monsoon in the East Lampung waters, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 1326-1333. The blue swimmingcrab/BSC, Portunus pelagicus, is an economically important species in fishery industry and continuously being exploited, particularly inthe East Lampung waters. BSC research in Indonesia during the last decade was only restricted to the adult phase, while research ontheir larval dynamics in nature has not been done yet. This study aimed to assess the abundance and the distribution of BSC larvae, andto describe their correlation to its environmental conditions. This study was conducted in June 2017 (during east monsoon) in the EastLampung waters. Sampling was done in surface water during the daylight hours on nine sites with three replicates on each site. Planktonabundance and oceanographic profile were also recorded from the same sampling site. The result from this study showed that the waterquality from the environment was suitable for the development of BSC larvae. The abundance of the early-stage larvae (Z1-Z3) wasrelatively higher than the late-stage larvae (Z4 and M). The larval stages of BSC were dispersed and completed their development in themid-shore and offshore waters. There was a tendency that the early-stage was more abundant in the northern part, while the late-stagewas more abundant in the southern part of the study area. The highest larval abundance was found in the mid-shore, particularly in sitenumber five, which was influenced by the water mass density and current direction during the east monsoon. Moreover, oxygenconcentration and salinity of the water environment influenced the early-stage larvae abundance more than the late-stages abundance.

Mechanical Breakdown

The four zoeal stages and megalopa of P. pelagicus were reared in culture and are described. Each appendage or structure is described showing the changes that occur during the zoeal phase. P. pelagicus larvae have similar types and location of setae as the larvae of P. spinicarpus. The positions of the chromatophores in the zoeal stages are described. The megalopa has the same types of setae as the zoea with the addition of two types of modified serrate setae. The zoea has no gastric mill and the capture and mechanical breakdown of the prey is the function of the mouthparts: the labrum, mandibles, maxillules and maxillae; and the serrated setae in the curve of the telson. The mouthparts of the megalopa are composed of the same appendages as in the zoea with the incorporation of the first, second and third maxillipeds. There are discrepancies between the descriptions in the present study and that of Prasad and Tampi (1953) whose second and third zoea and megalopa were obtained from the plankton. P. pelagicus larvae are compared with those of Scylla serrata to see if they could be distinguished, morphologically.

Specific Activities

The work focuses on development of digestive enzymes (amylase, total protease, trypsin, and chymotrypsin) and activity ratio of trypsin to chymotrypsin (T/C ratio) for digestive efficiency and growth, in blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) during metamorphosis and molting. Specific activities of all enzyme parameters studied were associated with growth during metamorphosis, while only those of trypsin and T/C ratio were associated during molting cycle where trypsin and chymotrypsin specific activities associated with consumption rate with especially high levels during late intermolt and early premolt stages. About 50% increased weight gain was observed with at least double increased T/C ratio at the end of molting period, compared to the stages prior to molting. Growth of carapace would be more significant after finishing molting. Carapace width gain and T/C ratio were highest at the first crab stage. Studies ofin vitroprotein digestibility of different feed raw materials indicated thatArtemia, Rotifer, andMoinaare the best for larval stages. Otherwise, the use of shrimp feed andArtemiaflake could be the alternatives. Incorporating of cassava meal into the feed formula for early adult stage (juvenile) could be an advantage. The proteins from animals are more beneficial for adult crab culture than the proteins from plants and bacteria. The digestible quality of dietary protein is very important during larval stages, while the protein level of diet is more important during adult stages with fully developed digestive enzymes.

Genetic Diversity And Structure

Background By comparing spatial geographical structures of host populations with that of their symbionts light can be shed on their biological interactions, and the degree of congruence between host and symbiont phylogeographies should reflect their life histories and especially dispersal mechanisms. Methods Here, we analyzed the genetic diversity and structure of a host, the blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus, and its symbiotic pedunculate barnacle Octolasmis angulata from six location sites representing three geographic regions (north, central and south) along the Vietnam coastline. High levels of congruence in their phylogeographic patterns were expected as they both undergo planktonic larval stages. Results Based on the COI mtDNA markers, O. angulata populations showed higher genetic diversity in comparison with their host P. pelagicus (number of haplotype/individuals, haplotype and nucleotide diversity are 119/192, 0.991 ± 0.002 and 0.02; and 89/160, 0.913 ± 0.02 and 0.015, respectively). Pairwise Fst and AMOVA analyses showed a more pronounced population structure in the symbiotic barnacle than in its crab host. The DAPC analyses identified three genetic clusters. However, both haplotype networks and scatter plots supported connectivity of the host and the symbiotic barnacle throughout their distribution range, except for low subdivision of southern population. Isolation by distance were detected only for the symbiont O. angulata (R2 = 0.332, P = 0.05), while dbMEM supported spatial structure of both partners, but only at MEM-1 (Obs. 0.2686, P < 0.01 and Obs. 0.2096, P < 0.01, respectively).

Crab Larvae

Betahwalang has been one of the main contributors to the Blue Swimming Crab (BSC, Portunus pelagicus) fisheries production in Central Java Province. Recruitment of the BSC depends to a large extend on the abundance of crab larvae. However, information on larval distribution of the crab affecting the recruitment to the fishery, fishery management and decision making to support crab conservation in Betahwalang area has been lacking.  The purpose of this study is to describe the spatial and temporal distribution of BSC larvae in the crab conservation area, to identify the larval stage most commonly occurs in the conservation area, and to develop process of decision making to managing conservation areas. This study was conducted in twelve months, starting from January until December 2018. The spatial distribution of the crab larvae was analyzed and mapped by means of SPSS and ArcGIS. The results of this study indicate that the crab larvae occur in the conservation area throughout the year.  The highest larval abundance of the crab occurs in May, September, and November. The most commonly found crab larval stages were megalopa. As megalopa and crablet stages are relatively much more active and closer to the adult form, their occurrence in the conservation area and throughout the year of 2018 suggests the existence of continuous support to the Blue Swimming Crab recruitment for the following year. The spatial and temporal distribution of the larvae were influenced by oceanographic parameters including temperature, nitrate and phosphate, which were associated with monsoonal changes in the Java Sea.

In order to revel aboveground biomass of R. soongorica shrub effect on soil moisture and nutrients spatial distribution, and explore mechanism of the changes of soil moisture and nutrients, soil moisture content, pH, soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) at three soil layers (0-10cm,10-20cm, and 20-40cm) along five plant biomass gradients of R. soongorica were investigated. The results showed that soil moisture content increased with depth under the same plant biomass, and increased with plant biomass. Soil nutrient properties were evidently influenced with plant biomass, while decreased with depth. SOC and TN were highest in the top soil layer (0-10 cm), but TN of 10-20cm layer has no significant differences (P < 0.05). Moreover, soil nutrient contents were accumulated very slowly. These suggests that the requirement to soil organic matter is not so high and could be adapted well to the desert and barren soil, and the desert plant R. soongorica could be acted as an important species to restore vegetation and ameliorate the eco-environment.

We studied the regulation of ichthyoplankton dispersion in the two-layer circulation of the St. Lawrence upper estuary by determining larval abundance and vertical distribution during high frequency sampling at three stations in May, June, and July, 1979. Monthly variations in capelin (Mallotus villosus) and Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus harengus) abundance were in agreement with the seasonal trends previously reported. Capelin larvae were concentrated in the surface layer, a situation which resulted in seaward drift. No significant growth was observed over the 60-d sampling period indicating continuous recruitment to, and removal from, the sampling area. Herring larvae were concentrated in the deep layer and were carried landward. The average size of herring larvae increased from the downstream to the upstream stations. Short-term fluctuations in the abundance and vertical distribution of the two species were interpreted in terms of the Fickian representation of transport for partially mixed estuaries. The major source of variation in abundance, at a given station, was the tidal advection of horizontal gradients. Capelin larvae and herring larvae smaller than 10 mm did not actively cross the pycnocline and were not submitted to the diffusive effect of the vertical current shear. The dispersal of these larvae was apparently passive. Herring larvae larger than 10 mm performed diel vertical migrations across the pycnocline and were dispersed in the horizontal plane at a faster rate than a passive contaminant of the environment. We conclude that the Fickian approach can be profitably applied to studies of dispersal and mortality of early larval stages of fish in estuaries.Key words: ichthyoplankton, St. Lawrence estuary, dispersion, transport, vertical distribution, diel migrations, variability, abundance, tidal mixing, Fickian

Spawning Period

The brown swimming crab (Callinectes bellicosus) is an economically important species in the Gulf of California, and its fishing activity, held in Sonora from 1986, has been affected by a 20-year declining trend in its biomass. With the aim to understand the possible reasons of this species population changes along time, we estimated population growth rate (r) and sex ratio of C. bellicosus, and combined them with three parameters describing its habitat: sea temperature, wetland extension and habitat size in four areas along the coast of Sonora. For this, monthly mean sex ratio was estimated from crabs samples obtained from commercial catches during 1998-2002 and 2012; mean sea surface temperature for the spawning period (May-August) were derived from remote sensors for the same years; while wetland coverages were obtained from published reports, and habitat size was estimated as the fishing surface. For each area, r was estimated using a method developed for limited data situations using commercial landings (t) from 1986-2013. With data from the four areas, simple and multiple linear regression models were developed to ascertain theoretical sensitivities of r to variations in sex ratio and environmental parameters. A total of 24 556 crabs were sampled; males dominated (68.8 %) over females during the study period and in all areas; a cluster analysis identified two groups according to sex ratio: a Northern group with zones 1 and 2, and a Southern group with zones 3 and 4. r values were different in all zones (P<0.001) as was sex ratio (P=0.037); no differences in temperature were identified within the study years (P>0.995). Both the estimated data and sensitivity analyses suggest the existence of a direct and positive dependence of r on the proportion of female crabs and wetland size. We hypothesize that excess fishing of females caused the declining biomass trend of the brown swimming crab in Sonora, and concluded on the convenience of implementing harvest refugia inside coastal wetlands to protect females during the spawning season.
