Abstract The blue crab Callinectes sapidus is an alien decapod established in the Mediterranean Sea. Since 2007, increased abundance has been reported from the northern Aegean Sea sustaining local scale fishery. The present work aims to assess the abundance and population structure of C. sapidus in Thermaikos Gulf using fyke nets. Population abundance, estimated as CPUE, exhibited strong temporal variability with decreased values in the cold season; this pattern was correlated with seawater temperature. Females exhibited also spatial differences with increased abundance close to the Aliakmon estuary. In total, 543 individuals were measured for carapace width. Males prevailed in the population; however, mean size was similar between sexes. Larger individuals were caught from deeper waters and the estuarine areas, whereas mean size decreased temporally. The fyke nets used proved to be size-selective, thus preventing fisheries mortality for juveniles. However, recurrent monitoring is necessary for a sustainable management of blue crab fisheries in the gulf.

A total of 16 species of the family Leiognathidae have been collected from the commercial landings from Cochin and Neendakara on the western coast of India from 1998–2000. Detailed morphometric data have been collected and all 16 species are redescribed with live color photographs here. Various relationships in the morphometric characteristics have been studied and regression equations fitted to enable comparison of the populations of these species from Kerala with those from other regions. Of the 16 species collected and described in the present work, five species, Nuchequula nuchalis, Equulites absconditus, Equulites leuciscus, Aurigequula longispina, and Gazza achlamys, are reported for the first time from the entire western coast of India.

Information on the population structure and breeding of the following species is presented: Siriella armata (Milne-Edwards), 5. clausii G. O. Sars, S.jaltensis (Czerniavsky),Gastrosaccus spinifer (Goës), Anchialina agilis (G. O. Sars),Psendomma affine G. O. Sars and Hemimysis latnornae (Couch). There is no previously published information on the biology of these species in British waters except notes on 5. armata and A. agilis. Notes on the occurrence of the following species on the west coast of Scotland are also given: Siriella norvegica G. O. Sars, Gastrosaccus sanctus (van Beneden), G. normani G. O. Sars, Leptomysis mediterranea G. O. Sars, Mesopodopsis slabberi (van Beneden), Heteromysis formosa S. I. Smith and Acanthomysis longicornis (Milne-Edwards).
