“…As already noted in many deep-water decapod crustaceans undertaking diel vertical migrations (e.g., Wenner, 1980;Krygier and Pearcy, 1981;Ramírez-Llodra et al, 2007), females of B. tanneri outnumbered males. It is likely that males are capable of fertilizing more than one female thanks to their faster spermatophore production when compared to eggs production (Mauchline, 1972) and to the ability of females to store spermatophores (Nagaraju, 2011).…”

A B S T R A C TBenthesicymus tanneri Faxon, 1893 (Benthesicymidae) is a poorly known benthopelagic shrimp dominant in the lower oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) boundary in the Mexican Pacific. Its bathymetric distribution and diet were studied off the Mexican Pacific continental slope at depths of 710-2309 m, and the potential environmental drivers were analyzed. A total of 187 specimens were collected between 772 and 2010 m, although most were found between 1008 and 1620 m. This represents a wide bathymetric distribution compared to other species inhabiting lower OMZ boundaries. The size of individuals (carapace length, CL) ranged from 11.2 to 53.3 mm with no clear bathymetric patterns in the size distribution of the species. The sex ratio (males:females, M:F) changed with depth from M:F = 1:1 at 700-1000 m to M:F = 1:5 at 1300-1600 m. The main prey of B. tanneri in all the samples analyzed was the pelagic red crab Pleuroncodes planipes (Munididae Ahyong, Baba, Macpherson and Poore, 2010), and secondary preys were benthopelagic and bathypelagic fishes and shrimp-like decapod crustaceans. Only 15% of the stomachs were empty. Specimens of P. planipes captured simultaneously to B. tanneri were measured as an indicator of the size of available prey and 90% of individuals measured 11.1-14.8 mm CL. Benthesicymus tanneri was collected within wide ranges of values of the different environmental variables considered, and statistical analyses did not provide solid relationships between the patterns of distribution and the environmental factors (Spearman R and Generalized Linear Models). We hypothesize that B. tanneri is a eurytopic species whose swimming capacity allows for temporal vertical migrations into the water column.

“…Geographical distribution (Fig. 7): Only found in the North Pacific between 20°N and 52°N: off Oregon (Pearcy & Forss, 1966;Krygier & Pearcy, 1981), off Hawaii (Walters, 1977), and off Japan (Kikuchi & Omori, 1985). Specimens in the Oregon State University, Department of Oceanography collections have been taken as far north as 51°40.9′N 138°30.3′W and as far south as 34°23′N 140°46′W (Wasmer, 1974).…”

Petalidium (Decapoda: Dendrobranchiata: Sergestidae) is one of the least known genera of pelagic decapods. On the basis of collections taken during Dana Expedition 1920–22 and 1928–30, we revise the morphology of the genus. To understand the taxonomic status and position of Petalidium within other sergestid genera, we used 150 morphological characters (127 binary, 23 multistate). Three recognized species of Petalidium and eighteen type species representing all other genera of Sergestidae were included as terminals. Characters were polarized using Lucifer typus (Luciferidae: Sergestoidea) and Aristeomorpha foliacea (Aristeidae: Penaeoidea) as the outgroups. Phylogenetic analysis revealed monophyly of Petalidium comprising three species: Petalidium foliaceum Bate, 1881; Petalidium obesum (Krøyer, 1859); and Petalidium suspiriosum Burkenroad, 1937. Phylogenetic analyses also revealed possible monophyly of the clade including 15 new genera of the former Sergia and Sergestes and the position of Lucifer (family Luciferidae) within the clade Sergestidae. These results highlight necessity of future phylogenetic analyses of the remaining genera Lucifer, Acetes, Peisos, and Sicyonella involving all species of these genera and promise interesting changes for the classification of Sergestoidea. Morphological trends within Sergestoidea are discussed, and an emended diagnosis of Petalidium and diagnoses of the species it includes are given. All species are illustrated and biology of the genus is discussed. Keys to species of Petalidium based upon new information are presented. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London

Examination of invertebrate vouchers collected during bottom trawl surveys conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Eisheries Service revealed northern range extensions of three decapod species. Two of these species are caridean shrimps (Lebbeus washingtonianus (M. J. Rathbun, 1902) (Hippolytidae) and Systellaspis braueri paucispinosa Crosnier, 1987 (Oplophoridae)) and represent the first records in Alaska. The hthodid crab Neolithodes diomedeae (J. E. Benedict, 1895) was found off California, the first record in U.S. waters, extending its known range by some 2000 km. Biological notes for these three species are provided and morphometric measurements are hsted for Neolithodes diomedeae. RÉSUMÉ L'examen d'échantillons d'Invertébrés collectés au cours de relevés au chalut de fond réal-isés par le Service national de la Pêche maritime de l'Administration Nationale des Affaires Océanographiques et Atmosphériques (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Eisheries Service) ont révélé des extensions d'aires vers le nord de trois espèces de Décapodes. Deux de ces espèces sont des crevettes Caddea (Lebbeus washingtonianus (M. J. Rathbun, 1902) (Hippolytidae) et Systellaspis braueri paucispinosa Crosnier, 1987 (Oplophoridae)) dont c'est la première mention en Alaska. Le crabe Lithodidae Neolithodes diomedeae (J. E. Benedict, 1895) a été trouvé au large de la Californie, ce qui constitue un premier signalement dans les eaux U.S. et étend son aire de répartition de quelque 2000 km. Des notes relatives à la biologie de ces trois espèces sont fournies et des mesures morphométriques sont données pour Neolithodes diomedeae. )
