“…Only one sample (CRU 118) was 93% similar to Thor amboinensis , and thus considered Thor sp. Four species of this genus have been reported in the Mexican Caribbean: T. amboinensis , T. dobkini, T. floridanus and T. manningi [34] , [37] , [38] . The sample CRU120 was assigned to the snapping shrimp genus Synalpheus (with 99% of similarity), in the Mexican Caribbean there are six species: Synalpheus fritzmuelleri, S. hemphilli, S. longicarpus , S. minus , S. townsendi and S. apioceros [35] , [39] .…”

Monitoring an Alien Invasion: DNA Barcoding and the Identification of Lionfish and Their Prey on Coral Reefs of the Mexican Caribbean

et al. 2012

BackgroundIn the Mexican Caribbean, the exotic lionfish Pterois volitans has become a species of great concern because of their predatory habits and rapid expansion onto the Mesoamerican coral reef, the second largest continuous reef system in the world. This is the first report of DNA identification of stomach contents of lionfish using the barcode of life reference database (BOLD).Methodology/Principal FindingsWe confirm with barcoding that only Pterois volitans is apparently present in the Mexican Caribbean. We analyzed the stomach contents of 157 specimens of P. volitans from various locations in the region. Based on DNA matches in the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) and GenBank, we identified fishes from five orders, 14 families, 22 genera and 34 species in the stomach contents. The families with the most species represented were Gobiidae and Apogonidae. Some prey taxa are commercially important species. Seven species were new records for the Mexican Caribbean: Apogon mosavi, Coryphopterus venezuelae, C. thrix, C. tortugae, Lythrypnus minimus, Starksia langi and S. ocellata. DNA matches, as well as the presence of intact lionfish in the stomach contents, indicate some degree of cannibalism, a behavior confirmed in this species by the first time. We obtained 45 distinct crustacean prey sequences, from which only 20 taxa could be identified from the BOLD and GenBank databases. The matches were primarily to Decapoda but only a single taxon could be identified to the species level, Euphausia americana.Conclusions/SignificanceThis technique proved to be an efficient and useful method, especially since prey species could be identified from partially-digested remains. The primary limitation is the lack of comprehensive coverage of potential prey species in the region in the BOLD and GenBank databases, especially among invertebrates.

“…Two sets of sequences matched to Palemonidae with 88% similarity (CRU136, 138 and 140 and CRU 107, 153, 155, 202,101,141,213). Little is known of the palaemonid fauna of this region and about 32 species of these shrimps have been reported from the shallow waters from Quintana Roo [38] .…”

Widely distributed throughout the western Atlantic from the Bahamas, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, Gulf of Mexico, Trinidad, Tobago, Guadeloupe, to Santa Catarina, Brazil, from the intertidal to 72 m depth (Holthuis 1951b;Chace 1972;Williams 1984;Ramos-Porto & Coelho 1990;Machado et al 2010;Román-Contreras & Martínez-Mayén 2010;Martínez-Mayén & Romero-Rodríguez 2017;Poupin 2018).…”

Species of the decapod family Palaemonidae are common components of tropical coastal waters and coral reefs. The majority of these species are symbionts of various invertebrate phyla. Despite a long history of research on their species diversity in the Dutch Caribbean, recent field expeditions have yielded much new information. Combined with examinations of specimens housed in Naturalis Biodiversity Center and information from literature, a comprehensive list of Dutch Carribean palaemonids is provided. Newly collected material was primarily identified via morphological analyses. Additional molecular phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial COI and 16S and nuclear Histone 3 (H3) genes were conducted in search of cryptic species on the one hand and to check conspecifity in species that were found on multiple host species on the other hand. In total, 46 species are here listed for the Dutch Caribbean of which 24 are here recorded for the first time for one of the islands. One species new to science was discovered and is herein described. Sixty new host associations are recorded. In light of biodiversity loss and increasing anthropogenic pressure on declining coral reefs, documenting the diversity of palaemonids and other coral reef species to provide baseline data takes on a new urgency.

“…Typton carneus is distributed in the western Atlantic in western Florida, Bahamas, Barbuda, Cuba (Los Arroyos), Mexico (Bahia de la Ascensión), Haiti (Tortuga), Panama, Tobago, and Brazil (Fernando de Noronha, Ceará, Paraíba, and Pernambuco States), from 0 -73 m depth (Holthuis, 1951;Chace, 1972;Coelho et al, 2006;Román-Contreras and Martínez-Mayén, 2010;Vieira et al, 2012;Pachelle et al, 2016;De Grave and Anker, 2017). However, information about its biological aspects, such as interactions with its hosts and reproduction, is still wanting, and data is mostly limited to occurrences and associations with sponges (Holthuis, 1951;Chace, 1972;Ramos-Porto and Coelho, 1998;Vieira et al, 2012;Pachelle et al, 2016;De Grave and Anker, 2017).…”

Observations of life history traits of Typton carneus Holthuis, 1951 (Caridea, Palaemonidae): a poorly known sponge-dwelling shrimp

et al. 2021

The objective of this study was to investigate some life history traits of the palaemonid shrimp Typton carneus collected from a reef in northeastern Brazil. Samples of the sponges Amphimedon compressa, A. viridis, Desmapsamma anchorata, Dysidea etheria, Haliclona implexiformis and Tedania ignis were analyzed and shrimps were removed from them. A total of 41 individuals were found in Te. ignis, three in H. implexiformis and one in D. etheria; the latter two sponges are new records of sponge hosts for Ty. carneus. Of the specimens associated with Te. ignis, 24 were males, 10 ovigerous females, six non-ovigerous females and one juvenile male. Fecundity varied between 19 to 56 eggs (37 ± 14) per female, and the mean egg volume was 0.033 ± 0.010 mm³. Eleven heterosexual pairs were obtained. Characteristics of the pairs suggest a monogamous mating system for the studied population, such as: the absence of sexual dimorphism in weaponry and body size and presence of paired non-brooding and brooding females carrying eggs in different development stages; and a sex ratio that does not differ from the expected 1:1. However, the lack of size-assortative pairing as well as the low proportion of pairs, compared to solitary individuals, have been observed in polygamous mating systems.
