justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km 2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but this species is described as ' fairly common ' ( stotz et al . ( 1996 ) . trend justification : this population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

rhizocephala are derived barnacles that parasitise decapod crustaceans .

their body plan is uniquely reduced in an extreme adaptation to their parasitic lifestyle , and makes their relationship to other barnacles unrecognisable in the adult form .

the name rhizocephala derives from the greek roots ῥίζα ( rhiza , " root " ) and κεφαλή ( cephale , " head " ) , describing the adult female , which mostly consists of a network of thread-like extensions penetrating the body of the host .

order rhizocephala parasites on other crustaceans , mostly decapods ; larvae typical nauplii and cyprids ; adults ramify inside hosts and produce 1 or more reproductive bodies outside the host ; marine ; about 230 species . order thoracica silurian to present ; the true barnacles ; most are nonparasitic ; larvae are nauplii and…
. . . ( 4 ) dwarf males that are nourished by and fully integrated into the female organism in which they function as a
testis
, and where male and female can enjoy a lifelong partnership . such extreme specialization is found only in the parasitic cirripedes ( rhizocephala ) [ 42 ] . . . .
some previous studies showed the efficacy of genetic markers for species delimitation and population studies in cirripedia ( e . g . york , blacket & appleton , 2008 ; pinou et al . , 2013 ) , and especially in the morphological poor rhizocephala ( e . g . murphy & goggin , 1970 ; rees & glenner , 2014 ) , which are largely deficient of diagnostic characters .
sem investigations of laboratory - reared larvae of briarosaccus tenellus boschma , 1970 , revealed five naupliar instars , one more than previously described for the rhizocephala . the external features of these and the cypris larva are described in detail . the youngest instar ( no ) is characterised by a better developed furca than in subsequent stages and one additional antennulary seta . . . .

parasites often employ fabulously complex life cycles to cope with the diverse environments and stressors that they encounter at different stages in their lives . rhizocephala , the little - known cousins of more charismatic acorn barnacles , do just that . as they parasitize decapods , such as crabs and lobsters , they manage to convince their hosts to divert resources and caregiving to rhizocephalan babies rather than their own . in fact , these crabs and lobsters wrongly believe they are tending to their own offspring , when they are actually facilitating rhizocephalan reproduction ! all the while , the rhizocephala proceed through their remarkable life cycle , in which their adult form becomes reduced entirely to a network of roots and a sac of reproductive organs . this film tells the story of how these fascinating parasites manage to survive and reproduce within the recesses of decapods’ bodies .
. . . it consists of a mantle , a mantle cavity that harbours the egg mass , and the visceral mass containing the ovary . the visceral mass usually also contains a pair of receptacles , each hosting an extremely small dwarf male , which acts as a functional testicle ( h ? eg , 1995 ; walker , 2001 ) . the intera of the rhizocephala is a unique organ in arthropoda . . . .
. . . among cirripedia , members of the rhizocephala order , which all are parasites , share an additional astonishing property . while first developing segmented larvae very similar to that of the other cirripedes , they undergo after the cyprid stage a metamorphosis resulting in a completely nonsegmented adult ( for a review , see hoeg , 1995 ) . hox genes are present in all bilaterian metazoans , where they play a critical role in designing the body plan . . . .
in the paper on the rhizocephala of the siboga expedition ( van kampen and boschma 1925 ) besides the material collected during this expedition a number of specimens from other collections have been described . among these there were a few from the collection of the leiden museum ( ' s rijks museum van natuurlijke historie ) . the rich collection of crustacea in this museum , however , contains a much larger number of specimens infested with rhizocephala than those described in the cited paper , as turned out after an inspection of the whole collection . alltogether 35 specimens , including the 10 specimens described in the cited paper , could be found . the taxonomy of the rhizocephala is a rather difficult problem , which can be solved only after the study of a comparatively large material . the differences between the genera of this group of parasites are strikingly enough ( cf . smith 1906 ) , but within each genus the species usually differ in subordinate characteristics only , the internal anatomy of the species of each genus usually showing a close resemblance . the chief characteristics of the species , especially in sacculina and allied genera , are those of the chitinous parts of the mantle : the excrescences of the external cuticle and the retinacula . kossmann ( 1872 ) discovered the excrescences of the external cuticle in many sacculinidae from the philippine islands and by means of these excrescences he was able to describe several species . many of these species are well defined and we could identify a certain number of specimens from the east indies with some of kossmann ' s species ( cf . van kampen and boschma 1925 ) . in the cited paper we moreover proved that in certain cases also the
knowledge about the rhizocephala ( parasitic barnacles ) has increased exponentially over the past two decades . this introduction broadly reviews this progress , touching on rhizocephalan morphology , life - cycles , larval biology , and the effects on the crustacean hosts . members representing both orders , the kentrogonida and akentrogonida , are discussed . the recent discovery regarding the vermigon stage further highlights the intricacy of the kentrogonid life - cycle . because rhizocephalans are found in most world regions , occurring on their respective hosts from the deep ocean to freshwater , their importance is now being recognized .
rhizocephalan parasites have been reported from a wide range of king crabs , including the three investigated species , lithodes aequispinus , paralithodes camtschaticus , and paralithodes platypus ( hawkes et al . , 1986b ) . until now all these records were assigned to a single species of rhizocephala : briarosaccus callosus . b . callosus was first described from the atlantic us coast as a parasite of neolithodes agassizii ( boschma , 1930 ) . several morphological characters of the investigated briarosaccus specimens from the north pacific are distinctly different in the type specimen of b . callosus , unambiguously showing that they are not conspecific .
. . . it is still not known if other representatives of rhizocephala have such a muscular system in their interna . however , many ofthem have a quite extensive and abundant rootlet system ( lutzen , 1981 ; jespersen and lutzen , 1992 ; hoeg and lutzen , 1993 ; hoeg , 1995 ; lutzen and takahashi , 1996 ; lutzen and pham , 1999 ; boyko and harvey , 2000 ; bresciani and hoeg , 2001 ; graham , 2001 ; shukalyuk et al . , 2001 ; shukalyuk , 2002 ; høeg and rybakov , 2007 ; yoshida et al . , 2011 ) , so they have to transport nutrients among the interna anyway . we suggest that other representatives of rhizocephalans should also have some kind of muscular system . . . .
müller’s observations on the relation between branched filaments in anelasma and the root - like tubes of rhizocephala are in the missing section of the letter from fritz müller , 12 august 1865 ( see letter from fritz müller , 10 october 1865 ) . since müller would not have received cd’s letter of 10 august [ 1865 ] when he wrote his own letter to cd on 12 august 1865 , it appears that the possibility of anelasma as a connecting link occurred to each of them independently . when für darwin ( müller 1864 ) was translated into english , some additional material was added , including müller’s hypothesis on the relation of branched filaments to cement ducts and root - like tubes ( see enclosure to letter from fritz müller , 22 april 1868 , calendar no . 6140 , and dallas trans . 1869 , pp . 135–40 ) .

briarosaccus is a continuous breeder , and at least 33 reproduction cycles may occur in an average sized parasite ( bower & sloan , 1985 ) , with up to 500 000 larvae being released in one spawning event ( hawkes et al . , 1985b ) . the high reproductive potential of the parasite , given their enormous size for rhizocephala , might be a major factor why under certain circumstances king crab populations can reach extreme infestation rates ( hawkes et al . , 1985a ) . high parasitism rates of king crab populations causes concern for fishery management , since the partial sterility of a population combined with fishing pressure might easily cause a decline in population size and yield ( hawkes et al . , 1986b ; shukalyuk et al . , 2005 ) . misidentification of economically important species in cryptic complexes can have serious negative consequences in fisheries management ( bickford et al . , 2007 ) . the recognition of cryptic species of rhizocephalan parasites on commercially important king crab hosts should therefore be of interest for fisheries management . for example , this may explain frequently observed differences of briarosaccus prevalence on different king crab host species in the same area ( sloan , 1985 ; hawkes et al . , 1986b ; isaeva et al . , 2005 ) .

when i first learned about rhizocephalan barnacles i lost my appetite . i was taking a parasitology course , and even though i’d developed a thick skin , something about this insidious creature deeply disturbed me . even now , the thought of one makes me shiver . i’ve never watched a movie monster , heard a fairy tale , or seen a video game with a villain more horrifying than this one . and unlike those monsters , this one is real . to understand the full terror of this monster , you have to put yourself in the place of another animal . these poor creatures are its victims , and you see them all the time . imagine you’re a crab , and for full effect , imagine you’re male .
you’re lingering on the shoreline , the warm sun on your back , cool water in your gills . you’ve reached a large size , dodging the many dangers of youth . life is going well . but today you begin to feel strange–maternal almost–as if there is something growing inside you , and in fact , something is .
can you feel her roots growing in your body ? illustrated by haeckel . from wikipedia commons .
its roots are crawling through your tissue , your gut , your brain . it’s a rhizocephalan barnacle , and it’s about to take you over .
your new tormenter is a member of one of the strangest groups of animals known . the adult female body of the rhizocephalan is twisted and deformed , not resembling in any way its barnacle cousins living on rocks near shore . she has lost her hard shell , her legs , her eyes , and transformed into sickly yellow roots and sinuous twisting filaments that are slowly grow like black mold through your tissues . but she looked normal once : when she was young . as a juvenile she looked like a normal barnacle larva , only a few millimeters long . but her juvenile body had one terrible difference : her head was tipped with a needle protruding form her shell . when she found you , she used her body like a hypodermic syringe : stabbing you and injecting her own cells under your skin . all that’s left of her is now growing and spreading like a cancer through your system . you’ve stopped growing . her fibrous tentacles are consuming your extra energy .
just when it seems it couldn’t be worse , your abdomen explodes . you’re now sterile , and her gonads are erupting out from where your genitals are . her tumorous ovaries now attract a male rhizocephalan larva , who injects his own cells into her . these grow into testicles within her body . she now has everything she needs for her next takeover .
but none of this bothers you now . she has woven her threads through your brain . she’s been secreting chemicals to control you–you’ve forgotten who you are . you now believe you are female , and the bulge in your abdomen is a brood of your own eggs . moreover , you are about to give birth . you care for and clean these eggs , as if they were your own .
one fateful evening , you feel a powerful impulse to move to the shallows and spawn–releasing your new young into the ebbing waves . your body is now hard , deformed and feminized . despite all this you look into the sea , grateful that you’ve created a new generation . your bliss uninterrupted by the reality that you have now released an infection that will spread , perhaps to your brothers , your mother and your children . but any piece of you that might mourn for them is gone , or perhaps if there , unable to stop what you’ve become . you are a shell for a rhizocephalan now , basking under the watery moon and stars .
my what a big claw you have ! all the better to love you with .

wonderful writing , here . a new genre : ‘searotica’ , with this story being an example of the sub - genre , ‘horror - searotica’ ! ! brill ! errrr… . . krill , if you will . : )
frighteningly analogous to the take - over , militerization and mobilization of a fascist state . fatherhood , motherhood , motherland , fatherland . at what point does the host loose awareness of its parasitized state ?
makes me glad i’m allergic to shellfish and couldn’t eat one of these horrifically disgusting ‘genetically modified’ creatures… horrific sci - fi that is , in fact , sci - fact .
i am a male… . and my zodiac is cancer…so this is extremely terrifying .
even they have their nemesis in the form of a hyper parasitic copapod that does to the rhizocephalan what it did to its crab host .
apparently some crabs can outlive the parasite and resume growing to adulthood . that was according to researchers off the coast of chile who found populations of crabs with sky high rates of parasitism that were thriving despite this .
they figured out what was happening after identifying adult crabs that had rhizocephalan attachment scars and were free of the parasite .
if i recall correctly , the infection free crabs were all older ones as if they were only succumbed to the parasite as young crabs . those that lived long enough either outlived the parasite or apparently found a way to rid their system of it and remain parasite free as they didn’t find any of the older crabs with the parasite .

. . . the externa is located in the reproductive area of the crab . the parasite infects and castrates both sexes of e . verrucosa ( smith , 1906 ; høeg , 1995 ) . moreover , the parasite induces the feminization in male crabs modifying the hormonal system ( rubiliani et al . , 1980 ; høeg , 1995 ; kristensen et al . , 2012 ) . . . .
. . . the parasite infects and castrates both sexes of e . verrucosa ( smith , 1906 ; høeg , 1995 ) . moreover , the parasite induces the feminization in male crabs modifying the hormonal system ( rubiliani et al . , 1980 ; høeg , 1995 ; kristensen et al . , 2012 ) . parasites in marine environments can affect the feeding behavior , energy requirement , condition , reproduction and survival of their hosts ( sousa , 1991 ; moore , 2002 ; mouritsen and poulin , 2002 ; lafferty and kuris , 2009 ) . . . .
. . . an egg number between a few hundred and 28 , 000 has been estimated for peltogaster paguri in one brood [ 27 , [ 57 ] [ 58 ] [ 59 ] [ 60 ] [ 61 ] . due to the sexual dimorphism reported for rhizocephalans with a kentrogonid lifestyle [ 62 , 63 ] , two different egg sizes ( small female eggs , bigger male eggs ) occur within the peltogastrids and they show three different types of broods : pure female eggs , mixed female and male eggs and pure male eggs . therefore , brood composition will have an impact on the number of eggs per volume of egg mass , and subsequently the total offspring of a parasite . . . .
. . . while the parasite has been proposed as a potential green crab biocontrol agent for some time ( goddard et al . 2005 ; thresher et al . 2000 ; torchin et al . 2001 ) , unanswered questions about the appropriateness of any release remain . though some work indicates that s . carcini is host - specific ( lafferty and kuris 2009 ) , the parasite naturally targets multiple host species ( høeg 1995 ; kristensen et al . 2012 ) , and work indicates likely impacts on non - target species in potential regions of release ( goddard et al . 2005 ; kristensen et al . 2012 ) . a notable side effect of imperfect host specificity could be relevant alteration of crab population dynamics . . . .
. . . crustaceans are subject to infection by multicellular parasites including ectoparasitic copepods ( davies et al . , 2015 ; wootton et al . , 2011 ) , and a variety of endoparasites such as sacculina spp . ( hoeg , 1995 ; stentiford and feist , 2005 ) and various dige - neans ( e . g . , stentiford and feist , 2005 ; stentiford , 2008 ) . these latter endoparasites are attacked by the hemocytes in an encap - sulation response resulting in ensheathed capsules of varying thickness ( figure 7 ( c ) ) . . . .
. . . there are some aspects of rhizocephalan morphology that were described in detail . a lot of articles are devoted the morphology of externa and especially the sexual system ( jespersen and lutzen , 1992 ; hoeg , 1995 ; graham , 2001 ; korn and rybakov , 2001 ; rybakov et al . , 2002 ; alvarez et al . , 2002 ; glenner et al . , 2010 ) . the ultrastructure of the cuticle and epithelium cells is also described in several articles due to their crucial role in the process of nutrient consumption ( bocquet - v edrine et al . , 1977 ; lutzen , 1981 ; hoeg and lutzen , 1993 ; hoeg , 1995 ; lutzen and takahashi , 1996 ; lutzen and pham , 1999 ; boyko and harvey , 2000 ; bresciani and hoeg , 2001 ; høeg and rybakov , 2007 ) . . . .

sacculina carcini is a parasite related to goose barnacles and common barnacles . the animal looks like an irregularly shaped knob under the shield covering a crab ' s belly . in the netherlands , sacculina carcini is mostly found in shore crabs and flying crabs . with its diffuse branching structure , the parasite spreads through the body of the crab . infected crabs do not die but can no longer reproduce of shed their shell . the crab eventually weakens and dies , as sacculina carcini sucks up all the food from the host ' s vascular structure .
, the green crab , is a major host . the green crab is considered a highly invasive species , so it is not clear where
has a native range of the upper european / north african coast , though it has since spread to most of the major coasts , including the united states ' new england coast area , the western u . s . coast , some areas at the southern coast of south america , the southern coast of africa , and the southeast coast of australia . in addition ,
, so it is possible that the parasite extends to some of the crab ' s invasive range .

rhizocephalan barnacles have been reported to parasitize a wide range of king crab species ( lithodidae ) . so far all these parasites have been assigned to a single species , briarosaccus callosus boschma , 1930 , which is assumed to have a global distribution . here we investigate briarosaccus specimens from three different king crab hosts from the fjord systems of southeastern alaska : lithodes aequispinus benedict , 1895 , paralithodes camtschaticus ( tilesius , 1815 ) , and paralithodes platypus ( brandt , 1850 ) . using molecular markers and by morphological comparison we show that briarosaccus specimens from these three commercial exploited king crabs are in fact morphologically distinct from b . callosus , and further represent two separate species which we describe . the two new species , briarosaccus auratum n . sp . and b . regalis n . sp . , are cryptic by morphological means and were identified as distinct species by the use of genetic markers ( coi and 16s ) . they occur sympatrically , yet no overlap in king crab hosts occurs , with b . auratum n . sp . only found on l . aequispinus , and b . regalis n . sp . as parasite of the two paralithodes hosts .
the genus briarosaccus currently contains only two species : b . callosus , reported as a parasite from various king crabs belonging to the genera glyptolithodes , lithodes , neolithodes , paralithodes , and paralomis ( pohle , 1992 ; guzman , moreno & moyano , 2002 ) , and b . tenellus boschma , 1970 , which is found on the small hapalogastrid crab hapalogaster mertensii brandt , 1850 . we describe two additional species of briarosaccus , found on three king crab hosts in the fjord systems of southeastern alaska . morphological comparison between the briarosaccus specimens from southeastern alaska with the type specimen of b . callosus revealed that they are not conspecific . while the new species are morphological distinctly different from b . callosus , the two are indistinguishable by morphology and were identified as distinct species by their mitochondrial dna and host specificity .
briarosaccus specimens for molecular analyses were collected in the fjord systems of southeastern alaska . parasitized hosts were sampled in 2010 and 2011 , during king crab stock assessment surveys by the alaska department of fish and game and commercial king crab fisheries . king crabs were caught using conical crab pots and checked for briarosaccus infections . 10 rhizocephalan parasites were sampled from lithodes aequispinus , 19 specimens from paralithodes camtschaticus , and two specimens from paralithodes platypus . host species and collection sites were recorded for each parasite specimen and tissue samples were taken from the externae and fixed individually in 95 % ethanol .
briarosaccus specimens from p . camtschaticus were sampled from the vicinity of juneau ( favourite channel , auke bay , pt . arden , and stephens passage ) , gambier bay , pybus bay , port houghten , port frederick , and northeast of mitkof island . parasites from p . platypus were sampled from holkham bay and upper lynn canal near haines . parasites of l . aequispinus were sampled from southern lynn canal , mid - and lower - chatham strait , and holkham bay .
molecular work was conducted in the biodiversity laboratories , university of bergen , norway . total genomic dna was extracted using a gene mole automatic nucleic acid extractor from mole genetics as , norway . partial fragments of two mitochondrial genes , cytochrome
oxidase i ( coi ) , and the 16s ribosomal rna gene ( 16s ) , were amplified by pcr . for amplification of coi the primers h2198 ( 5′ - taaacttcagggtgaccaaaaaatca - 3′ ) and l1490 ( 5′ - ggtcaacaaatcataaagatattgg - 3′ ) ( folmer
in 25μl reactions . for the coi gene , cycling started with an initial denaturation at 94 °c for 3 min , followed by 30 cycles of 30 s at 94 °c , 45 s at 48 °c , and 1 min at 72 °c , and finished with a final extension of 5 min at 72 °c . pcr conditions for 16s were identical , except that the annealing temperature was set to 50 °c . pcr products were checked for successful amplification on 1 % agarose gels stained with gelred . pcr products were purified and sequenced in both directions using each primer pair at macrogen inc . contigs were assembled using lasergene seqman pro 8 . 1 , and the sequences were aligned using ebiox 1 . 5 . 1 . the primer set amplified a 655 - 658bp long fragment for the coi gene , and a 340 - 341bp long fragment for the 16s gene . the coi alignment was trimmed down to a length of 636bp due to few not entirely readable sequences at the h2198 primer end . to exclude the presence of pseudogenes or gene duplicates , the individual sequence chromatogram files were checked for the presence of double peaks , and the coi alignment was translated into amino acids and checked for premature stop codons and frame shifts using bioedit 7 . 2 . 3 . sequences are available on genbank with the accession numbers
the genetic distances between the aligned sequences were calculated using mega 5 . 2 with the kimura 2 - parameter model for each of the two genes . phylogenetic analyses , using neighbor joining , were conducted with the same software , running 1000 bootstrap replicates . the phylogenetic trees were visualized using the software dendroscope 3 . 2 .
for morphological analyses , 52 briarosaccus specimens from l . aequispinus hosts were obtained from commercial fishermen in 2012 , sampled from clarence strait and mid - chatham strait . the externae were removed from their hosts , initially frozen at −20 °c , and fixed in 70 % ethanol after thawing . nine briarosaccus specimens from p . camtschaticus hosts were sampled during a king crab stock assessment survey by the alaska department of fish and game in 2012 . these specimens were photographed alive and the externae were removed from their hosts and fixed in 70 % ethanol . one briarosaccus specimen from p . camtschaticus was kept attached to its host , fixed in 10 % formalin , and transferred to 70 % ethanol . all externae were examined for their gross morphology . 20 externae taken from l . aequispinus and six externae from p . camtschaticus hosts were dissected under a dissection microscope to investigate the morphology of the mantle cavity and visceral mass . receptacles and vasa deferentia were dissected out of the surrounding visceral mass tissue of 14 briarosaccus specimens from l . aequispinus and six specimens from p . camtschaticus .
the briarosaccus specimens from southeastern alaska were compared with the morphology of b . callosus from its original description ( boschma , 1930 ) , which is based on a single specimen from the atlantic us coast . the type specimen of b . callosus is assumed to be lost , and only serial sections of part of the visceral mass remain at the naturalis biodiversity center , leiden , the netherlands .
to examine the extent and gross organization of the internal root system , three parasitized specimens of p . camtschaticus and seven specimens of l . aequispinus were narcotized by adding clove oil to their sea water filled container , and killed by dislodging the carapace from the body and cutting through the central nervous system . the strongly green coloured rootlets could easily be identified by the naked eye and their organization in the host ' s body was studied under low magnification and photographed for further analyses .
receptacles and vasa deferentia , as well as parts of the inner and outer mantle cuticle of parasites taken from p . camtschaticus and l . aequispinus were scanned using a quanta feg 450 sem at 10 kv . samples were dehydrated in ethanol , and critical point dried in co 2 . the dried samples were mounted on sem stubs with carbon tape and sputter coated with gold / palladium .
the morphological descriptions of the two newly described briarosaccus species are complemented with data from literature sources . data taken or supplemented from the literature are indicated by the references .
type material of the two described species is deposited at the yale peabody museum of natural history , connecticut . museum numbers are ypm 74280–74283 .
samples are divided into two distinct genetic groups . both genes showed the same pattern , with one clade containing all
) . for the coi gene , the genetic differences calculated with the kimura 2 - parameter model ranged from 0 to 0 . 5 % within , and 11 . 6 to 12 . 8 % between the two groups . for the 16s gene the differences ranged from 0 to 0 . 6 % within , and 4 . 3 to 4 . 6 % between them . the translation of the trimmed coi gene fragment into amino acids resulted in an alignment of 212 amino acid positions . amino acid differences within each group ranged from 0 to 1 , and from 13 to 15 between the two groups . the entire clade consisting of parasites taken from the two
host species is lacking three nucleotides , coding for a single amino acid , in the coi sequence . no double peaks were found in the individual sequences , and no stop codons or frameshifts were found in the coi amino acid alignment , indicating that no nuclear copies of mitochondrial genes ( numts ) or heteroplasmic genes were sequenced . based on the molecular results , we conclude that specimens of
unrooted phylogenetic trees of the coi and 16s genes from 31 briarosaccus specimens , constructed using neighbor joining based on the kimura 2 - parameter model . parasites taken from p . camtschaticus are named red 1 to 19 , from p . platypus hosts are named blue 1 to 2 , and from l . aequispinus hosts are named golden 1 to 10 . the respective host king crabs to the parasite specimens of the two genetic clades are displayed in the black boxes between the trees . numbers on the nodes indicate the bootstrap supports . the scale bars are indicating substitution sites .
comparisons of the externae from our sampled specimens with the original description of briarosaccus callosus clearly showed that the specimens from alaska are not conspecific with b . callosus , but should be regarded as new species ( see discussion ) .
species . the parasite ' s externa is usually situated on the ventral side of the host ' s abdomen , where it is attached to the crab ' s integument via a short , hollow stalk , which connects the externa with the internal trophic root system . the overall shape of the parasite varies due to large size differences , and status of the reproductive cycle . the externa is bean shaped , elongated , and curved to various degrees , with the ventral outline being convex , and the dorsal side concave ( fig .
specimens of the different hosts have been reported with a similar size range , from 7 to 81 mm in anterior - posterior length , 2 to 39 mm in height , and 2 to 35 mm in width . the externae can be gravid from their smallest size on ( bower & sloan ,

a ) . the opening lacks a strongly developed sphincter muscle and is formed by a crenulated lip . the opposite , posterior end of the externa is broadly rounded . the short stalk is situated in the exact middle of the dorsal side , surrounded by a hard chitinous shield of dark brown colour . the shield has numerous annuli , round marks , each resulting from a moulting cycle ( lützen ,
in egg bearing specimens , the spacious mantle cavity , where the eggs are bred , takes up the main proportion of the externa . after the larvae broods are released the mantle cavity deflates , generating a much slimmer shaped externa .
the visceral mass , which contains the reproductive organs , is connected to the dorsal side of the mantle via a relatively thin mesentery , which is broadened in the region below the stalk . the mesentery runs from the mantle opening on the anterior end to the beginning of the rounded posterior end of the externa . the surface of the visceral mass is smooth , without lateral extensions . its width is variable , due to large size variations of the parasite , and changes in the state of the ovaries due to the reproductive cycle , ranging from rounded to laterally flattened in cross section . at the anterior end the visceral mass is tapering , and protrudes into the mantle opening .


squilla mantis is a species of mantis shrimp found in shallow coastal areas of the mediterranean sea and the eastern atlantic ocean : it is also known as " pacchero " .

its abundance has led to it being the only commercially fished mantis shrimp in the mediterranean .

the mantis shrimp is not actually a shrimp , but rather a shrimp - like crustacean .
the mantis shrimp is a crustacean with a flattened , segmented body and praying mantis - like claws . it burrows within muddy flats along the shoreline of the middle and lower chesapeake bay .
mantis shrimp claws are strong enough to wound a human , giving them the nickname “thumb splitters . ”
mantis shrimp eat live fish , crabs , worms and shrimp , including other mantis shrimp . they are aggressive , violent predator , using their sharp claws to spear or slice through prey with a quick , slashing motion .
because of its secretive , nocturnal habits , little is known about the mantis shrimp life cycle and mating habits .
mantis shrimp have long , jackknife claws that resemble a praying mantis . the strike velocity of the claws is one of the fastest movements of any animal on earth . ( the southeastern regional taxonomic center / south carolina department of natural resources )
the strike velocity of a mantis shrimp’s large , powerful claws is one of the fastest movements of any animal on earth . it takes a mantis shrimp less than 8 milliseconds to strike , which is about 50 times faster than the blink of a human eye .
squilla mantis , which grows to 20 centimetres ( about 8 inches ) , is common in the mediterranean sea and in nearby regions of the atlantic ocean . it lives on muddy bottoms and among organic debris . s . empusa , which grows to 20 centimetres , is the commonest species on the atlantic coast of north america . oratosquilla oratoria , which also grows to 20 centimetres , is taken commercially in waters off the coast of japan for human consumption .
mantis shrimp have distinctive , emerald green eyes on stalks located on the top of the head . their eyes contain more photo receptors than human eyes . ( michael bok / flickr )
order stomatopoda ( mantis shrimps ) jurassic to present ; eyes stalked ; 2 movable segments in head ; carapace leaves 4 thoracic segments uncovered ; second thoracic limbs massive ; marine ; about 350 species . †order palaeostomatopoda carboniferous . †order aeschronectida…
the mantis shrimp grows to 8 to 10 inches in length . it has a flattened , translucent body with a pale green hue . its abdomen and carapace are segmented , with each segment outlined in dark green or yellow . it has three pairs of walking legs , four pairs of clawed appendages ( called maxillipeds ) and one pair of long , jackknife claws that resemble a praying mantis . its emerald green eyes are on stalks located on the top of its head .
. . . dans la région est de la méditerranée , les larves de la squille squilla mantis peuvent être rencontrées de juin à novembre avec un maximum d ' abondance au mois d ' août ( williamson , 1967 ; lewinsohn et manning , 1980 ; özel et koray , 1983 ) . en se référant aussi aux travaux réalisés par abelló et martín ( 1993 ) giesbrecht , 1910 ; jacques et thiriot , 1967 ) . cette taille coïncide avec les longueurs des plus petits individus capturés et faisant l ' objet d ' étude de croissance dans les eaux tunisiennes à l ' exception des femelles du golfe de hammamet . . . .
. . . the influence of rivers on demersal species in the mediterranean sea has been evidenced in several works . the commercially exploited crustaceans squilla mantis appear to be preferentially abundant in areas under the influence of the rhône ( do chi 1975 ) and ebro ( abelló & sarda 1989 , abelló & martin 1993 ) . concerning demersal fishes , the influence of rivers has been observed for mullus barbatus ( lombarte et al . 2000 ) in the ebroinfluenced - area , and citharus linguatula ( gaertner et al . 1999 ) and solea solea ( salen - picard et al . 2002 ) for the region under the influence of the rhône river plume . . . .

the mantis shrimp are a widely distributed group consisting of more than 350 species ; they vary in size from 1 to 30 centimetres ( 0 . 4 to 12 inches ) . they occur in coastal waters but are sometimes found as deep as 1 , 300 metres ( about 4 , 300 feet ) . many species live in burrows . both adults and larvae are excellent swimmers .
. . . sex of s . mantis is easily identified by the presence in the male of a pair of copulatory organs arising from the base of the third pair of pereiopods corresponding to the 8th thoracic segment and in the female , by the presence of the genital plate on the 6th thoracic segment sternite . the sex - ratio was estimated monthly during the study period , being expressed as the percentage of females in the various size classes [ 7 ] . the overall sex ratio was assessed using chi square test ( χ 2 ) [ 8 ] ; where : f iobs : observed proportion ; f th : theoretical proportion . . . .
. . . do chi , ( 1975 ) suggère une envergure de vie maximale de 3 ans et demi pour la squille s . mantis avec une exploitation qui cible surtout les individus de la deuxième année . nos résultats sont similaires à ceux trouvés par d ' autres auteurs ( abelló et martín , 1993 ; righini et baino , 1996 ) affirmant que la taille maximale dans les pêcheries est de 37 à 40 mm lc ce qui correspond à une vie maximale de 3 ans . des résultats similaires ( tableau vii ) ont été obtenus par ragonese ( 2012 ) qui a indiqué qu ' il existe trois modes dans les classes de tailles des squilles du sud de la sicile . . . .
. . . neither already reported size structures nor other information are available for the sicilian s . mantis ( incidentally , the present size range is similar to the 75 - 187 mm published in pipitone & tumbiolo , 1993 ) ; hence , the age class attribution of the first modal components ( table 2 ) was based on the previously described general pattern , given that the young - of - the - year ( 0 . 5 age class at about 60 - 70 mm tl ) might be expected in the catch later than the present sampling time ( cfr . froglia , 1984 ; abelló & martin , 1993 ) . further , the length - at - age , which can be reconstructed from literature ( abelló & martin , 1993 ; maynou et al . , 2005 ) results of about 66 , 104 , 142 and 178 mm for the 0 + , i , ii and iii age - classes . . . .

thalassinidean mud - shrimps are common and diverse in coastal and continental shelf sediments throughout the world . they have been found to be important agents of bioturbation in tropical lagoons ( suchanek & colin , 1986 ; suchanek et al . , 1986 ) . other groups of burrowing megafauna have been barely studied outside north - west europe , but there is no reason to doubt that future work will result in the identification of new species ( eg . rogers & nash , 1996 ) and confirm the importance of these animals within sediment biotopes worldwide .
various species of sea pen are common elements of the benthic fauna throughout the worlds oceans , from shallow coastal waters to the deep sea ( eg . langton et al . , 1990 ) . the few detailed studies of their ecology refer to species found on the pacific coast of north america ( birkeland , 1974 ; kastendiek , 1976 ; davis & van blaricom , 1978 ) . where relevant to the british species , these will be discussed in chapters iv and v .

. . . this result can be linked to the burrowing behavior of the species , as described by atkinson et al . ( 1997 ) . the relatively high variability observed in the catches , even within such habitats , can be linked to the incorporation of new recruits in the catches ( abelló and martín , 1993 ) and to the effects of factors such as weather and sea conditions , which are known to influence the catchability of this species ( maynou et al . , 2004 ; righini and baino , 1996 ) . e . moschata showed an opposite habitat occupancy ; larger catches were in the offshore areas on sandy and mixed bottoms , as described by relini et al .

. . . le maximum du recrutement dans la pêcherie méditerranéenne est observé entre janvier et mai ( maynou et al . , 2005 ) , ce qui correspond bien à la période de recrutement dans les eaux tunisiennes ( mars et avril ) . après le recrutement , la squille croît relativement d ' une façon rapide et atteint une longueur céphalothoracique de 25 à 27 mm à la fin de l ' année suivante ( abelló et martín 1993 ) . la croissance de cette espèce est relativement plus rapide au cours de la saison estivale et en méditerranée ( maynou et al . , 2005 ) . . . .
. . . males and females do not differ significantly in size , as reported for the catalan sea , the adriatic , and the eastern ligurian sea [ 3 ] . abelló and martìn [ 7 ] pointed out that the sex - ratio within each size class oscillated between 0 . 4 and 0 . 6 and did not indicate any tendency towards a significant dominance of either sex . moreover , size distribution patterns are also similar for both sexes in the ebro delta . . . .
. . . seasonal variations in catchability result from reduced out - of - burrow activity , because females rarely exit their burrow when they are incubating their egg mass ( decreasing their catchability ) in spring and early summer [ 18 ] . additionally , catches of females also diminish in spring and summer because the adults disappear from the population after spawning [ 7 ] . . . .
