“…These belong to three shrimp genera: Hippolyte (with H. inermis, H. leptocerus and H. niezabitowskii; also H. holthuisi in Almería, García , Palaemon (with P. xiphias, P. adspersus and P. serratus) and Processa, the latter mostly at night (Ledoyer, 1968;García Raso et al, 2006; and this study), with P. edulis as the most abundant within this genus.…”

“…Permanent, common and the most dominant decapod species (day, night, total) in the Mediterranean Cymodocea beds (as a whole). These data have been deduced from the main quantitative studies on the subject (Ledoyer, 1966(Ledoyer, , 1968Števčić, 1991;García Raso et al, 2006;Mateo & García Raso 2012 (Wear, 1974;Grabe, 2003;Nagaraju, 201Fur-thermore, there are no significant correlations between species richness (either diurnal or nocturnal) and salinity, at the level described. Although this is a factor in the distribution of some species (e.g.…”

“…Sampling was carried out monthly, from February 2009 to February 2010, in the morning (at about 10:00 h) and at night (in moonless nights, 2-3 h after sunset, when an abundance peak of decapods has been reported (De Grave et al, 2006;García Raso et al, 2006). The samples were taken using a small Agassiz trawl, with a 70 cm-wide frame and a net mesh of 3 mm knot-to-knot.…”

“…The most extensive and/or specific studies on this group show that diurnal assemblage richness ranged between 9 and 32 species (Ledoyer, 1968;Števčić, 1991;García Raso et al, 2006;Mateo & García Raso, 2012) and between 16 and 46 for nocturnal ones (Ledoyer, 1968;García Raso et al, 2006). Schaffmeister et al (2006) reported 11 shrimp species in a subtidal mixed habitat (Cymodocea nodosa with Zostera noltii) in Mauritania.…”

A study on the decapod assemblage inhabiting a shallow meadow of Cymodocea nodosa from the bay of La Goulette (Tunisia) was carried from February 2009 to February 2010. Monthly samples (with replicates) were taken in the morning and at night, with a small Agassiz trawl. In total 11699 specimens belonging to 41 species were caught. Significant day-night and seasonal changes are mainly related to movements (feeding) and recruitments. Higher abundance and richness were reported at night. Analyses rendered no significant relationships between the plant phenology and abundances and richness; neither between the total abundance and temperature, but significant correlations with a time lag of 3 - 4 months between these factors exist, which could be related with hatching and larval development period. The nocturnal and diurnal values in the diversity and equitability indexes are quite similar along the year (peaks in spring - early summer, minimum in autumn - early winter). This pattern is mainly due to the strong dominance of a few species, with maximum abundances during their recruitment events, whose seasonal and day-night changes have been determined. Besides, an overview of the decapods assemblage associated to this seagrass for the Mediterranean Sea has been carried out. The species can be divided into two groups (linked to the leaves and to the sediment). The differences in species composition between areas must be related to different sampling methodologies, feeding and reproductive strategies, but also to the layout and influence of the surrounding habitats.

Diel variation in sea grass dwelling shrimp: when to sample at night?

2006

The present study investigates hourly variation in nocturnal abundance fluctuations in a tropical, Caribbean sea grass bed. As expected, results indicate that significant diel variation is present. In addition all dominant species show an abundance peak shortly after sunset, with numbers gradually declining throughout the night. It is therefore suggested that nocturnal samples are not only incorporated into any sampling regime, but that nocturnal samples are taken within two hours after sunset.
