LARVAL GROWTH PATTERNS IN THE AESOP SHRIMP PANDALUS MONTAGUI

LARVAL GROWTH PATTERNS IN THE AESOP SHRIMP PANDALUS MONTAGUI The caridean shrimp family Pandalidae is distributed world-wide, including a number of ecologically important and commercially exploited species, predominantly in boreal and subarctic regions of the Atlantic and Pa- cific Oceans (Scrivner and Butler, 1971; Ip- polito et al., 1980; Hannah and Jones, 1991). In the North Atlantic, the northern shrimp (P. borealis Kroyer) is the largest species and, hence, has been the object of extensive coastal and offshore fisheries in North Amer- ica and Europe. With the exception of P. jor- dani Rathbun in the Pacific, it is probably the best known pandalid species in terms of life cycle data (Shumway et al., 1985). The Ae- sop shrimp (FAO name; in the literature also frequently referred to as "pink shrimp") P. montagui Leach is another commercially im- portant species in the North Atlantic, but it is smaller and has a lower commercial value than P. borealis (see Mistakidis, 1957; Bal- siger, 1981). Consequently, its biology has been investigated to a much lesser extent (re- view: Simpson et al., 1970). Available data are primarily related to aspects of the adult phase of its life cycle, namely fisheries, depth distribution, substrate and food requirements, growth, and reproduction (e.g., Mistakidis, http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Crustacean Biology Brill

Abstract

The caridean shrimp family Pandalidae is distributed world-wide, including a number of ecologically important and commercially exploited species, predominantly in boreal and subarctic regions of the Atlantic and Pa- cific Oceans (Scrivner and Butler, 1971; Ip- polito et al., 1980; Hannah and Jones, 1991). In the North Atlantic, the northern shrimp (P. borealis Kroyer) is the largest species and, hence, has been the object of extensive coastal and offshore fisheries in North Amer- ica and Europe. With the exception of P. jor- dani Rathbun in the Pacific, it is probably the best known pandalid species in terms of life cycle data (Shumway et al., 1985). The Ae- sop shrimp (FAO name; in the literature also frequently referred to as "pink shrimp") P. montagui Leach is another commercially im- portant species in the North Atlantic, but it is smaller and has a lower commercial value than P. borealis (see Mistakidis, 1957; Bal- siger, 1981). Consequently, its biology has been investigated to a much lesser extent (re- view: Simpson et al., 1970).
