Abstract

Isopods are found in diverse habitats. In this communication, marine and estuarine isopods of India are dealt. A total of 232 species under 101 genera and 25 families have been recorded from different maritime states of India including Andaman and Nicobar islands and Lakshadweep. Maximum diversity has been noted in the family Cymothoidae (62 species), which is followed by Bopyridae (52 species) and Sphaeromatidae (22 species). The distribution of these species indicates highest diversity in Kerala (79 species), which is followed by Tamil Nadu (64 species) and Andaman and Nicobar slands (46 species). Five isopod families are recorded only from the state of Kerala and a single family each from Andhra Pradesh and Andaman Islands respectively. Introduction of species in Indian water by ballast water is also discussed.

Abstract

During the course of faunal resource survey in 2002, the author came across four specimens (2 males and 2 females) of the crab species Arcania cornuta (Brachyura: Leucosiidae) (Fig. 1) in Kerala backwater systems. All the four specimens were collected from Neendakara in the Kollam district of Kerala. The species was described from the Persian Gulf by MacGilchrist in 1905 as Ixoides cornutus. Quite recently, Galil (2001) in her revisionary work on the genus Arcania synonymised the genus Ixoides under Arcania . A perusal of literature reveals the record of this species from Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and Chennai (Tamil Nadu) of the east coast of India only (Devi et al ., 1888; Dev Roy and Bhadra, 2005; Krishnamoorthy, 2007). The present record of this species thus extends its distribution to west coast of India.

Abstract

During a recent survey to Himachal Pradesh, the authors came across a single example of leech from a clean and unpolluted swift-water running stream at Bilaspur (lat. 31°35 ' N. long. 76°75 ' E.) situated at an altitude of 673 m near D.A.V. School (Senior) on 15.09.2012. It was found under a stone attached to a freshwater crab. This leech (Figs. 1A-C) has been identified as Myxobdella annandalei Oka,1917 (Family Hirudinidae) for the following characters: soft and flabby body for the greater part of its length, gently tapering at the posterior and anterior extremities; caudal sucker much larger; jaws small and weak, teeth very few, three or four in each row; somites imperfectly 5 annulate, complete somites from X-XXII; eyes five pairs on somite II to VI, small and obscure; gonopores separated by five annuli. Colour of this leech is pale grey or olive, more or less closely maculated with black and dusky blotches. Its length and width of the leech were 29.5 mm and 12 mm respectively and the radius of the posterior sucker 5 mm only. The specimen has been deposited in the National Collection of the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata (Reg. No. An 3808/1).

Abstract

West coast of India passes through five states, viz., Kerala, Karnataka, Maharastra, Goa and Gujarat and faces the Arbian sea. These states are very rich in marine fauna including marine crabs in coastal areas. On the other hand, a total of 34 species (Table 1) of freshwater crabs also inhabit in the freshwater wetlands of these states, a consolidated list and state- wise distribution of which are lacking till date. The present communication is an attempt to fill up these gaps. These freshwater crabs belong to three families, viz. , Gecarcinucidae, Parathelphusidae and Varunidae as defined by Ng (1988).

Abstract

Subterranean or ground water fauna comprises of 6 major groups, such as, Acarina, Crustacea (Copepoda, Bathynellacea (Syncarida), Amphipoda, Isopoda), Nematoda, Mollusca, Insecta (Plecoptera) and even Pisces, of which crustaceans constitute the major component. They are characterized by long life span with prolongation of developmental stages, elongated unpigmented bodies and without eyes. The metabolism of these organisms is reduced due to subterranean life and they have low reproductive rate in comparison to surface water organisms. The study of subterranean fauna is of recent origin. In the present communication, an inventory of subterranean crustacean fauna comprising of 80 species is collated and presented with locality data. A perusal of literature reveals that most of these organisms are reported from Andhra Pradesh (45), some species are recorded from Bihar (6), Kerala (6), Chhattisgarh (5), New Delhi (4), Odisha (3) and Meghalaya (2), while States like West Bengal, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Goa and Andaman Islands represent one species each. More than 70% of these subterranean crustaceans are endemic to India. Hence care and conservation of these species from groundwater harvesting and various other anthropogenic stresses are needed.

Abstract

Crustaceans are primarily aquatic organisms excepting few terrestrial forms. The subphylum Crustacea comprises of 22 orders containing 3,731 species in India. Of these, more than 3000 species occur in marine and estuarine environments. Maximum number of crustaceans is represented in the order Decapoda (1655 species), followed by Copepoda (1016 species) and Isopoda (319 species). Due to high commercial value, certain decapod crustaceans , viz., prawns, crabs and lobsters are widely harvested throughout the country. But despite their high fishery values, immense biodiversity importance and socio-economic support, crustaceans are scarcely brought under conservation measures in India, and no legislative regulations are imposed on harvesting commercially important species. Only one species of anomura commonly known as Coconut crab (Birgus latro) is included in the Schedule of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, while 89 species belonging to 4 families, viz., Diaptomidae, Coenobitidae, Gecarcinucidae and Portunidae are brought under IUCN control measures. However, in India there are many species of different orders reported more than hundred years ago, of which, 224 species of brachyuran crabs are listed herein to indicate the conservation concerns of these species.

Abstract

The branchiura commonly known as 'carp-lice' or 'fish lice' are a group of ectoparasitic crustaceans of uncertain positions within the class Maxillopoda and subclass Branchiura. They are usually found on fishes but a few species have also been reported from amphibians and invertebrates. They occasionally reach high in numbers and cause fish mortalities (Nandi and Das, 1991) in aquaculture operations and rarely in wild populations of fish. Often they become abundant in aquaria resulting in the death of ornamental fish. About 200 species of argulids are known world-wide. These are accommodated in six genera under the single family Argulidae in the order Arguloida, of which only a single genus occurs in India. The size of Argulus varies from few millimeters to over 30 mm long; females are usually somewhat larger in size than the males.

Abstract

An inventory of crustacean species occurring in different wetland ecosystems of West Bengal is presented in the form of a systematic checklist. The inventory includes 535 species of crustaceans belonging to 283 genera and 119 families showing districtwise distribution of each species in the state. Of these, brachyuran crabs represent the highest diversity of species (152) followed by copepoda (114 species) and cladocera (81 species). Crustaceans belonging to Conchostraca, Anostraca, Gebiidea, Tanaidacea and Cumacea are represented only by a single species each. Crustacean species which inhabit diversified freshwater, brackishwater, estuarine and coastal wetlands of South 24-Parganas district shows the greatest diversity.

Abstract

Albunids are relatively small crab-like anomurans, resembling the closely related Hippidae. They are generally found in shallow coastal waters but sometimes in depth as down as 225 meters. The family contains 48 species in 9 genera (Boyko&McLaughlin, 2010) world-wide, of which, only two species namely, Albunea symmysta and A. thurstoni are recorded from India. A perusal of literature reveals that not only the species but also the family Albunidae is reported herein for the first time from this state (Dev Roy, 2010).

Abstract

The crab Spiralothelphusa hydrodroma was described from Tranquebar (now in the Tanjore district of the state of Tamil Nadu) by Herbst in 1794 as Cancer hydrodromus. Subsequently, Heller (1865) recorded it from Madras, Rathbun (1905) from Coromanndel and Malabar coasts, Alcock (1910) from different localities of West Bengal, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Kerala, Chopra and Tiwari (1947) from Patnagarh and Bott (1970) from Tamil Nadu. While examining, collections of the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, the author came across a series of specimens from several localities (in addition to the above) which were unreported by the earlier workers and hence this communication.

Abstract

Although mangrove flora of Orissa are well inventorised, fauna inhabiting mangroves of this state, especially the lower invertebrates are very poorly known, barring a single publication by Chadha and Kar (1999). During the faunistic survey in March, 2011 under the project, "Mangrove Associated fauna of Orissa coast" the authors had observed and collected three species of invertebrates, namely, Pleurobranchia globosa (Phylum Ctenophora), Anelassorhynchus microrhynchus (Phylum Echiura) and Phascolosoma arcuatum (Phylum Sipuncula) from mangrove habitats of Orissa. Among these, P. globosa was observed to be very common in the fishing nets at Hukitola (River Mahanadi) and Bandar (River Devi) while A. microrhynchus and P. arcuatum were collected from Bandar (Devi River, district Jagatsingpur and Balabhadrapur in district Puri) and Jashipur (Budha Balanga River, district Balasore). P. arcuatum was found in the muddy bank in sparsely distributed mangroves. P. globosa was observed in Mahanadi estuary surrounded by dense mangroves while A. microrhynchus had been collected from dense (in Bandar) as well as sparse (in Balabhadrapur) mangroves. A perusal of literature reveals that the sipunculid P. arcuatum had been reported earlier from mangroves of Andaman Islands (Das and Dev Roy, 1989) and all the three species from Sundarbans mangrove region (Mandal and Nandi, 1989).

Abstract

Alitropus typus was described for the first time by H. Milne Edwards (1840) from Gulf du Bengale (Bay of Bengal). Later on, Stebbing (1911) recorded this species from Shastancotta Lake, a freshwater lake of Kerala. Subsequently, Chilton (1926) and Pillai (1967) reported Rocinella simplex and Alitropus dimorphus from Chilka lake and Travancore (Kerala) respectively. Both the species are now synonymised as Alitropus typus (Bruce, 1983).

Abstract

Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary (15°30'N and 73°50'E) is located at the western tip of Chorao Island along the Mandovi River near Panaji in North Goa district of Goa State. It is a protected patch of estuarine mangrove habitat established as Red Shank Sanctuary and the smallest sanctuary of Goa notified in 1988 with an area of just 1.78 sq km. It is an important mangrove habitat harbouring both estuarine and mangrove crabs. Four field surveys were conducted in this area in connection with plankton and benthos fauna of the state. In the present report only brachyuran crabs recorded from this sanctuai-y areas are communicated. It includes 9 species of crabs belonging to 4 families under 8 genera, viz., Scylla serrata (Forskal) (Family : Portunidae); Eurycarcinus orientalis A. M. Edwards (Family ; Pilumnidae); Gnipsus albolineatiis Lamarck, Varuna littercita (FabriciusJ, Chironiantes bidens (de Haan), Pamsesanna plicatinn (Latreille), Episesanna taeniolata (White) (Family : Grapsidae); Uca lactea (de Haan) and Uca dussumieri (H. M. Edwards) (Family : Ocypodidae). Mounds seems like those made by Cardisonia carnifex (Herbst) (Family : Gecarcinidae) (Das and Dev Roy, 1989; Dev Roy and Das, 2000) were observed at the landward fringe of mangrove thicket but specimens of this species could not be collected/observed.

Abstract

Crustaceans are primarily aquatic organisms. They are mostly marine but there are many freshwater species inhabiting ponds, lakes, streams and rivers and occupy a basic position in aquatic food chain. In the present paper, crustacean communities of four selected wetlands of West Bengal, namely, Rabindra Sarovar, Nalban, Brace Bridge Nature Park and Mirik Lake have been studied. All these four water bodies are freshwater wetlands. Among these, Nalban and Brace Bridge Nature Park are sewage fed wetlands. Crustacean community of these wetlands is comprised of Cladocera, Copepoda, Ostracoda, Conchostraca, Amphipoda, Isopoda and Decapoda. The list includes 36 species of zooplankton and macrozoobenthos. The study reveals highest representation of crustacean diversity in Rabindra Sarovar Data obtained on water quality as well as general ecological parameters suggest that highest crustacean diversity is associated with habitat ecology, niche diversity, naturalness and ecosystem health of the wetlands.

Abstract

Diversity of brachyuran crabs of coastal ecosystems of Tamil Nadu is documented and critically analysed. The crabs reported so far from these ecosystems comprise of 344 species belonging to 154 genera under 23 families. Highest diversity of species has been observed at Gulf of Mannar (195 species) followed by Chennai coast (169 species), Palk Bay (98 species) and Parangipettai coast (84 species), while highest diversity of species has been encountered in the family Xanthidae (56 species) followed by Portunidae (53 species), Leucosidae (41 species), Majidae (36 species), Grapsidae (32 species) and Ocypodidae (19 species). Zoogeographical distribution of these species has been discussed along with endemicity. Amongst these crabs, 254 species are widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region, 57 species are confined to the Indian Ocean and 25 species to Bay of Bengal. Habitat-wise distribution of 140 species of crabs has revealed the occurrence of 61 species in coral reef, followed by 40 species in mangroves, 23 species in backwater and 13 species in sandy habitats of this state. List of new taxa described so far from the state has also been given.

Abstract

Great Nicobar is the southernmost part of Andaman and Nicobar islands. Located between Lat. 06°45´ and 07°15´N. and Long. 93°37´ and 93°56´E., it is the largest island among the Nicobar groups of islands. Major part of the island is included in UNESCO-MAB-Network of Biosphere Reserve. This island which is oceanic in origin arose from the sea bed during Cretaceous period in Mesozoic era (Karunakaran, 1962). The island is 55 km long between Murray Point in the north and Indira Point in the south (southern-most tip of the island) and about 30 km wide on the north which narrows down gradually to about 3 km at its southern tip. Two National Parks, namely, Campbell Bay National Park and Galathea National Park were created within this Biosphere Reserve in 1992.

Abstract

Marine borers of mangroves are represented by two groups of organisms - molluscs and crustaceans. The crustacean wood borers are mainly restricted to the order Isopoda. The genus Sphaeroma of the order Isopoda cause extensive damage to wood and under water wooden structure and are also capable of extending their destructive activities to mangroves as well. In India, two species and a variety of sphaeromatids, namely, Sphaeroma annandalei, Sphaeroma annandalei travancorensis and S. terebrans have been identified as major crustacean borer species that causes heavy destruction to timber in mangroves. All these isopods also occur abundantly in living prop ischolar_mains of Rhizophora spp., live pneumatophores of Sonneratia and Avicennia spp. and also knee ischolar_mains of Brugiera gymnorhiza. They are distributed in both the coasts of India, often posing serious threat to mangrove vegetation. The distribution of these species along the coasts and their relative abundance in different mangroves of India has been discussed.

Abstract

Mangroves are assemblages of halophytes that grow at land-sea interface of the tropical and subtropical regions of the globe. In Odisha, mangroves are distributed in three zones - Mahanadi delta, Brahmani-Baitarani delta (Bhitarkanika mangrove) and Budhabalanga-Subarnarekha river coast (Balassore coast). Mangroves occupy about 33.7% of the total forest of Odisha. Bhitarkanika of Brahmani-Baitarani delta supports the third largest mangrove zone of the country containing the largest congregation of mangrove species.

Abstract

East coast of India has a coastline of 2656 km, continental shelf area of 1, 22,000 sq km and coastal area of 64, 956 million ha and comprises of 4 maritime States and one Union Territory (UT), namely, West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry (UT). In this presentation, an attempt has been made to focus on the diversity of brachyuran crabs from these maritime states of east coast. The report is based on author’s observation as well as from literature survey. A total of 482 species of brachyuran crabs belonging to 211 genera under 45 families has been recorded from different States of east coast of India. Maximum diversity has been observed in Tamil Nadu (382 species) followed by Odisha (149 species), West Bengal (137 species) and Andhra Pradesh (128 species). Least number of species is recorded in Puducherry (58 species). One species, Ilyoplax gangeticus has been recorded for the first time from Odisha. State-wise distribution of these species is discussed in this communication. A total of 91 crab species described/reported from this coast is not recorded during the last hundred years. This is the first consolidated report on the crab diversity of maritime States of east coast of India.

Abstract

An inventory of Indian Calanoid copepod has been prepared in the form of a catalogue dealing with 287 species and subspecies belonging to 82 genera and 25 families. Among these, 99 are marine and 55 freshwater forms, remaining 143 species occur in estuarine and diversified water conditions. Maximum species have been recorded in Kerala (114 species) while the minimum are recorded from the states of Delhi, Manipur and Uttarakhand being represented by one species each.

Abstract

An inventory of cyclopoid and harpacticoid copepods has been prepared in the form of a catalogue for the first time from India dealing with 181 species and subspecies under 38 genera and 9 families of Cyclopoida and 403 species and subspecies belonging to 163 genera and 35 families of Harpacticoida. Among these, in Cyclopoida, 24 are marine and 143 freshwater forms, remaining 40 species occur in estuarine and diversified water conditions; while in Harpacticoida, 311 are marine and only 68 are freshwater forms, rest 56 occur in brackish and estuarine habitats. In Cyclopoida, maximum number of species have been noted in Tamil Nadu (47) followed by Andhra Pradesh (39) while in Harpacticoida, the highest number has been recorded in Andaman and Nicobar Islands (203 species) which is followed by Tamil Nadu (142 species). The distribution of these copepod species in India are also incorporated in this catalogue.

Abstract

The catalogue contains 535 determined species and 16 undetermined species of copepods associated with vertebrates (tunicate, marine and freshwater fishes), invertebrates (poriferans, cnidarians, molluscs, echinoderms) and sea weeds besides a number of free-living forms. These copepods belong to three orders, namely, Poecilostomatoida, Siphonostomatoida and Monstrilloida. The list contains information on habitat (marine, estuarine, brackishwater and freshwater), states, localities and host species. Seventeen species have been enlisted as doubtful records (taxon inquirenda). One species each belonging to Poecilostomatoida and Siphonostomatoida have been considered as invalid species (nomen nudum).

Keywords

Copepoda, Poecilostomatoida, Siphonostomatoida, Monstrilloida, host, site of infection, India.

Abstract

This host-paraste catalogue deals with 457 nominal species of parasitic copepods occurring in 297 named host species, and of these maximum representation of 270 species are from fish hosts, while among 39 unnamed host species, 18 from fishes and 21 from invertebrate hosts. Of the 297 host species, 2 host species are from Porifera, 12 from Cnidaria, 7 from Mollusca, 3 from Crustacea, 3 from Echinodermata, 1 from Urochordata and 270 from Pisces. The parasitic copepod species belong to the 32 copepod families under 3 orders, viz., Cyclopoida, Poecilostomatoida and Siphonostomatoida. The host fish order Perciformes (134 species) contains the highest number of copepod parasites (206 species). Host-parasite level assessment has been briefly discussed. The scrombrid fish Rastrelliger kanagurta harbours the highest copepod parsites (9 species).

Abstract

While surveying mangrove fauna of Odisha, the authors came across baya nests at Balabhadrapur about 10 km from Kakatpur, Puri district. The nests, fifteen in number (12 complete nests and 3 incomplete ‘practice nests’), were found on Sonnaeatia apetala (Fig. 1). These were observed at a height of 8-9 m above the ground. Earlier, baya nests had been reported from Coringa mangroves, Andhra Pradesh by Srinivasulu et al. (2000).

Abstract

Red Piranha, Pygocentrus nattereri Kner, 1860, is an ornamental fish belonging to the family Characidae, order Characiformes. This fish is native to South America where it occurs widely in lowland areas of Central and Southern America east of the Andes including the Amazon and Parana basins and various central drainages of the Guianas and Brazil (Fink, 1993). The fish has established in China from where it has probably entered into Bangladesh waters. Of late, it has been reported from peninsular India. As opined by Bijukumar (2000), this fish was introduced in India illegally by aquarium traders and in course of time it has found its way into the natural water systems.

Abstract

Crabs are one of the conspicuous faunal components of mangrove ecosystems. They play important roles in trapping energy, accelerating litter decomposition, nutrient cycling, aeration of sediment, substrate topography modification and grain size distribution. They also influence the composition, density and distribution of mangrove vegetation through seed and seedling predation. Although a good deal of information is available on mangrove inhabiting crabs from various states of India, viz., West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Goa, Maharashtra and Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Dev Roy, 2008), there is hardly any information from Odisha mangroves barring a single publication by Chadha and Kar (1999). In the aforesaid work, only 5 species of crabs were recorded. This paucity of information has necessitated to undertake this work.

Abstract

Himachal Pradesh, a part of the western Himalayas lying between latitudes 30º 22´ 40´´- 33º 12´ 44´´ N and longitudes 75º 45´ 55´´- 79º 04´ 20´´ E at an altitudinal variation of 350- 7000 m is rich in faunal diversity. But, crustacean fauna, especially the brachyuran crabs are poorly known from the state. Henderson (1893) was the first to record a freshwater crab from the state, viz., Telphusa atkinsoniana [= Himalayapotamon atkinsonianum (Wood-Mason, 1871)], belonging to the family Potamidae. He reported it from Kangra and Simla. Subsequently, Doflein (1900) recorded another crab Potamon larnaudii [(= Larnaudia larnaudii (A. Milne Edwards, 1869)] from Simla, Himalayas. After a short gap, Rathbun described the crab Potamon (Potamon) koolooense [(= Himalayapotamon koolooense (Rathbun, 1904)] from Kooloo Valley.

Abstract

Members of the genus Nerocila (Isopoda: Cymothoidae) are well known ectoparasites on marine, estuarine and freshwater fishes and even on aquatic snakes. These are represented by 14 species from India. Several workers studied these parasitic isopods from Indian coasts (Schiödte and Meinert, 1881; Barnard, 1936; Chidambaram and Menon, 1945; Pillai, 1954, 1960; Bal and Joshi, 1959; Ramakrishna and Venkataramaniah, 1978; Jayadev Babu and Sanjeeva Raj, 1980; Jalajakumari et al., 1987; Bruce and Harrison-Nelson, 1988; Ghatak, 1998; Ravichandran et al., 2001; Kensley, 2001; Rajkumar et al., 2006; Rameshkumar and Ravichandran, 2010; Rameshkumar et al., 2011). A total of 22 species were recorded as hosts for these isopod parasites from the Indian region. In this communication, a new host, namely, Setipinna tenuifilis Valenciennes (Family Engraulidae) for the isopod parasite, Nerocila poruvae Rameshkumar, Ravichandran and Trilles, 2011(Figs. 1 and 2) is reported from West Bengal coast (Bakkhali and Digha) along with comprehensive parasite-host and locality records of all the 14 species hitherto known from India (Table 1). This species was described earlier from the fish Thryssa mystax at Vedaranyam coast of South India by Rameshkumar et al. (2011). As such, this is the second report of this species from India with its extended distribution further northwards up to West Bengal.

Abstract

The paper reviews host-parasite association between crab and leech. Leeches may be found on body surface of crabs (ectoparasite), such as carapace and appendages or within the branchial chambers (endoparasite). Globally, a total of 11 species of leeches are known to be associated with 17 species of crabs. Crabs serve as a substratum for the deposition of cocoons and as a means of dispersal for the leeches.

Abstract

A total of 140 species of brachyuran crabs belonging to 88 genera and 32 families from marine, estuarine and freshwater habitats of Karnataka state have been dealt with in this communication. Out of 140 species 44 were collected from 24 study sites. Five species have been recorded for the first time from the state. The portunid crab, Charybdis (Charybdis) vareigata is a first-time record from the west coast of India. Among the marine and estuarine forms, 101 are Indo-Pacific in distribution, while 21 species occur in Indian Ocean and 2 in Arabian Sea, and rest three are cosmopolitan. Only two species, namely, Cryptopodia echinosa and Odhneria echinus are endemic to the state. This is the first consolidated and classified list of brachyuran crabs from the state of Karnataka.

Abstract

A consolidated list of lernaeid copepod parasites comprising of 29 species occurring in 24 host fishes from different states of India has been compiled and presented for the first time in this communication. Lernaeids are harmful ectoparasites of ornamental as well as cultured fishes (including brackishwater bheries). Among the states, Punjab represents the maximum number of lernaeid copepods (10 species), followed by Karnataka (7 species), Andhra Pradesh (6 species) and West Bengal (3 species). So, far ten states showed their occurrences in India including in Kerala and Kashmir representing 2 species each, while one species each occurred Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Haryana and Tripura.
