This checklist is the fifth and last compilation on the decapod crustaceans reported to São Paulo (Brazil) coastal area, resulting from long-term multidisciplinary projects, which combined morphological analyses and molecular techniques. The current research includes 75 decapod species, herein referred as shrimps/lobsters-like (shrimps, ghost-shrimps, lobsters, and related groups), reported to São Paulo coastal area. These species occur in marine, estuarine, and amphidromous habitats and are classified into 21 families as follow: Aristeidae (2 spp., 2 genera), Atyidae (4 spp., 2 genera), Axianassidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Callianassidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Callichiridae (6 spp., 4 genera), Crangonidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Glyphocrangonidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Luciferidae (2 spp., 2 genera), Nephropidae (4 spp., 2 genera), Palaemonidae (15 spp., 9 genera), Palinuridae (2 spp., 1 genus), Pandalidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Pasiphaeidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Penaeidae (10 spp., 6 genera), Sergestidae (3 spp., 3 genera), Sicyoniidae (4 spp., 1 genus), Scyllaridae (5 spp., 3 genera), Solenoceridae (4 spp., 3 genera), Stenopodidae (2 spp., 1 genus), and Upogebiidae (6 spp., 1 genus). We generated new sequences of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (barcode region) and 16S genes (51 and 54, respectively) of 54 species. Our examination concluded that 75 shrimps/lobsters-like species are reported to the São Paulo coast. We excluded Leander tenuicornis (Palaemonidae), Penaeus setiferus (Penaeidae), Philocheras gorei (Crangonidae), and Rhynchocinetes typus (Rhynchocinetidae) from this list.

The megafauna of deep continental margin of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Uruguay have been little studied. The present study includes deep-sea trawling operations and represents the first analysis in detail of the deep-sea community of decapod crustaceans. Cluster analysis of bottom trawl data indicated that benthic megafauna are grouped in four bathymetric ranges along the continental margin: A, 250 > 1100 m; B, 1100 > 2000 m; C, 2000 > 3000 m; and D, 3000–3800 m, while pelagic species are not grouped by depth strata. The decapod individuals belong to 79 different species from which 64% correspond to shrimps (suborder Dendrobranchiata and infraorder Caridea), and the third most important group corresponds to the infraorder Anomura (18%). From those, previously 67% were not reported off Uruguay and 47% in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. The bathymetric range of the identified decapods was enlarged by 32%. Moreover, the frequency distribution of species occurrences was rare since 56% of the species were only sampled once, thus indicating that the decapod community of this area is still far unknown. The benthic species were also more diverse than the pelagic decapods, and their abundance and biomass were higher. The biomass of the decapod community was dominated by the geryonid crab, Chaceon notialis, mainly located in the shallowest depth strata (representing 97% of the total biomass). To detect possible changes in the structure, biomass, and diversity of benthic assemblages, we recommend the implementation of long-term monitoring programs in the continental slope off Uruguay before fishing or mining exploitation is developed.
... In the deep zones, the benthopelagic species are associated with muddy habitats, being these areas responsible for high concentration of biodiversity, especially due the high levels of organic matters (Crosnier and Forest 1973;Tavares and Serejo 2007). In Brazilian waters, several deep-sea prawns were recorded especially in Northeastern and Southeastern regions, with benthic species recorded by Cardoso and Serejo (2007), Tavares and Serejo (2007) and Alves-Júnior et al. (2017) and the pelagic species observed by D'Incao (1999), Cardoso and Serejo (2003), Cardoso and Tavares (2006) and Alves-Júnior et al. (2018), with depth range covering the superficial waters to deep areas until 3000 m. ...

The superfamilies Penaeoidea Rafinesque, 1815 and Sergestoidea Dana, 1852 are composed by prawns, which occur from costal zones to deep-sea zones, reaching around 5000 m of depth. However, despite the broad distribution of these deep-sea prawns in Southwestern Atlantic (Brazilian waters), these records are restrict to South and Southwest regions. Based on that, in this paper we provide the taxonomic composition of deep-sea prawns occurring in the Northeastern Brazil, highlighting aspects such as geographic and bathymetric distributions. All material was provided by surveys performed in the Northeastern of Brazil in two different areas: the Potiguar Basin, located in the northeast of Brazil between the States of Ceará (CE) and Rio Grande do Norte (RN) in the year of 2011, with samples were performed by bottom trawls net along the continental slope. Later, the pelagic species were collected in the years of 2015 and 2017, covering the States between Alagoas and Ceará and encompassing the Rocas Atoll and Fernando de Noronha Archipelago through of midwater tows. In both campaigns, 12 species were collected belonging to 4 families, being subdivided in: Aristeidae Wood-Mason in Wood-Mason & Alcock, 1891 (4 species); Benthesicymidae Wood-Mason in Wood-Mason & Alcock, 1891 (2 species); Penaeidae Rafinesque, 1815 (4 species) and Sergestidae Dana, 1852 (2 species). Thereby, we increase the knowledge about the occurrence of these deep-sea prawns in Brazilian waters.
Jack-knife shrimp Haliporoides sibogae is a target species for boat seine fishery in the waters off south-western Kyushu, Japan. Reproduction, including ovarian maturation, size at sexual maturity, and spawning season of this species were studied using females collected from Kagoshima Bay, southern Japan. The present study also explored an alternative maturity index by conducting a microscopic examination of oocytes. Histological analysis of the ovaries validated six oocyte developmental stages. Ovarian development was asynchronous, indicating multiple spawning throughout a reproductive season. On the basis of the developmental stage of the most advanced oocytes, ovarian maturity was categorized into three stages: immature, maturing and mature. Females containing oocytes exhibiting cortical crypts were defined as mature. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) significantly increased as ovarian maturation progressed, and all females with a GSI of ≥ 6% were determined to be mature. The minimum size at sexual maturity was estimated to be 24.0 mm in carapace length. The spawning season extended from November to May, with February being the peak. Moreover, microscopically, the oocytes with spherical bodies on the periphery all had cortical crypts. Therefore, observation of oocytes using a microscope was considered an effective method to easily identify mature females.
We provide morphological and genetic evidence to establish the presence/occurrence of Alpheus angulosus, Alpheus buckupi, and Axianassa australis on the coast of Maranhão, Brazil. The specimens were collected in December 2019 by actively searching the estuaries and rocky shores of São Luís Island, northeast of Brazil. In addition to morphological analyses, two
mitochondrial genes were obtained (Cytochrome C Oxidase I and 16S), and a phylogenetic analysis was conducted to verify the specimens’ identity. Accurate identification is an essential tool to obtain reliable information about the occurrence of the species and thus help assess biodiversity in a highly diverse region. These finding also serve to stimulate future studies in poorly studied areas as well as set a baseline for biodiversity conservation
and preservation strategies.
Given the potential interest in targeting Solenocera acuminata in a new deep-sea fishery in the Colombian Caribbean, biological information is needed to support the management of this species. The objective of this study is to provide biological information about size structure, size at sexual maturity, morphometric relationships, abundances and spatial and bathymetric distribution of S. acuminata in the Colombian Caribbean. Specimens of S. acuminata were collected during four deep-sea prospecting surveys in the Colombian Caribbean Sea, which were conducted between Punta Gallinas and the Gulf of Uraba. A total of 87 exploratory fishing trawls were made between 100 and 550 m depth. Sexual dimorphism was evident, with males being smaller than females. The size at sexual maturity of the females was 95.2 mm total length (23.82 mm CL). Relatively high biomass values were found in the northern zone of the Colombian Caribbean, between Santa Marta and Riohacha. In the southern zone, higher biomass was found between Cartagena and Morrosquillo Gulf. The biomass of S. acuminata was higher at night (mean 1.82 kg/km2) than during daylight (mean 0.15 kg/km2). This species was distributed between 150 and 400 m depth and the highest biomass was associated with depths between 330 and 380 m. Before starting a new fishery, more research is needed to understand the life cycle parameters of deep-sea resources, such as growth, reproduction, recruitment, mortality, spawning areas and times, nursery areas and associated biodiversity.
The deep sea is one of the last frontiers to biodiversity knowledge mainly due to the difficulties to access this environment. Additionally, the deep sea is constantly suffering anthropogenic impact (fishery activities, mininger exploration, and pollution). Recent efforts have contributed to knowledge on deep-sea Decapoda in Brazilian waters. However, these inventories are still far from complete. The main goal of this work is to compile the existing information, including these recent inventories of typically deep-sea species from Brazilian waters, >500 m depth (also including the Rio Grande Rise area). We herein list a total of 181 species of the two decapod suborders: Dendrobranchiata (32 species) and Pleocyemata (149 species). From the Pleocyemata eight out of the ten decapod infraorders were represented: 68 species of carideans; 31 of anomurans, 36 of brachyurans, 5 species of Astacidea and Polychelidae, 2 species of Achelata, and 1 of Stenopodidea and Axiidea each. As expected, the shrimp fauna was more diverse than the crab and lobster fauna. This is in contrast with the global diversity which is highest in the Brachyura.
