The larvae, hatched from berried females from S. Euboikos Bay (Aegean Sea, Greece), were reared at 10 temperature-food density combinations (19 and 24 degrees C; 0, 2, 4, 8 and 16 Artemia nauplii d(-1)). Enhanced starvation resistance was evident: 92 and 58\% of starved zoeas I molted to zoea II, while metamorphosis to megalopa was achieved by 76 and 42\% of the hatched zoeas at 19 and 24 degrees C, respectively. The duration of both zoeal stages was affected by temperature, food density and their interaction. Nevertheless, starvation showed different effects at the two temperatures: compared to the fed shrimp, the starved zoeae exhibited accelerated development at 19 degrees C (8.4 d) but delayed metamorphosis at 24 degrees C (5.9 d). On the other hand, both zoeal stages were able to consume food at an increased rate as food density and temperature increased. Predation efficiency also increased with temperature, but never exceeded 0.6. Facultative lecithotrophy, more pronounced during the first zoeal stage of C. tyrrhena, can be regarded as an adaptation of a species whose larvae can respond physiologically to the different temperature-food density combinations encountered in the wide geographical range of their natural habitat.}, keywords = {abbreviated development, brachyuran crabs, Crustacea, grapsidae, palinuridae, periods, requirements, starvation resistance, temperature, thalassinidea}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M. and Peppa, A. and Zacharaki, M.} } @article {12842, title = {Autoecological studies on the Thalassinidea (Crustacea, Decapoda) of the Patras gulf and Ionian Sea (Greece)}, journal = {Rapport et Proc{\'e}s-Verbaux des R{\'e}unions de la Commission Internationale pour l{\textquoteright}Exploration Scientifique de la Mer M{\'e}diterran{\'e}eRapport et Proc{\'e}s-Verbaux des R{\'e}unions de la Commission Internationale pour l{\textquoteright}Exploration Scientifique de la Mer M{\'e}diterran}, volume = {29}, number = {5}, year = {1985}, pages = {309-312}, keywords = {KAPE}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M. and Zenetos, A.} } @article {12829, title = {Allometric growth of male secondary sexual characters and dioecy in Parapandalus narval (Decapoda: Pandalidae).}, journal = {Journal of Crustacean BiologyJournal of Crustacean Biology}, volume = {9}, number = {4}, year = {1989}, pages = {595-600.}, keywords = {KAPE Thes Crustacea}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @article {12830, title = {Advanced larval developement of Callianassa tyrrhena (Decapoda: Thalassinidea) and the effect of environmental factors}, journal = {Journal of Crustacean BiologyJournal of Crustacean Biology}, volume = {10}, number = {4}, year = {1990}, pages = {659-666.}, keywords = {KAPE Crustacea}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @article {12831, title = {Reproductive variability of Parapandalus narval (Crustacea: Decapoda) along a depth gradient}, journal = {Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf ScienceEstuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science}, volume = {35}, year = {1992}, pages = {593-603}, keywords = {KAPE}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @proceedings {12832, title = {Distribution of Aristeus antennatus and Aristaeomorpha foliacea in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.}, year = {1994}, address = {ITPP: Mazara del Vallo (Italy)}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M.}, editor = {Bianchini, M.L. and Ragonese, S.} } @inbook {12833, title = {Decapod crustaceans: an account on species occurrence and exploitation in Hellenic waters}, booktitle = {State of Hellenic Fisheries}, year = {2007}, pages = {85-92}, isbn = {978-960-98054-1-4}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M.}, editor = {Papaconstantinou, C. and Zenetos, A. and Vassilopoulou, V. and Tserpes, G.} } @article {12826, title = {Preliminary data on the occurrence of Thalassinidae (Crustacea, Decapoda) in the greek seas.}, journal = {Biologia gallo-hellenicaBiologia Gallo-Hellenica}, volume = {12}, year = {1986}, pages = {181-187.}, keywords = {KAPE Thes.}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @mastersthesis {12827, title = {[Contribution to the study of the ecology and biology of Callianassa tyrrhena (Petagna, 1792) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Thalassinidae).] (in Greek)}, year = {1987}, pages = {229}, school = {University of Athens}, type = {Ph D}, address = {Athens}, keywords = {KAPE Thes. inc}, author = {Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @article {12828, title = {On a population of Callianassa subterranea (Crustacea, Decapoda, Thalassinidea) in the N.

Other controlling factors were the substratum type and exposure to hydrodynamism in the shallow group, depth and substratum in the intermediate, and sediment granulometry and depth in the deep one.

Tsopeli, Ionian Sea, with no obvious source of stress, harbors a fauna typical of brackish-water lagoons. Vivari, Aegean Sea, also without apparent source of disturbance, is characterized by a few typical lagoonal species and some species characteristic of perturbation. Goro lagoon, in the northern Adriatic, is much larger and more open to the sea. At the centre of the lagoon, where anoxia is known to occur in the summer ("Goro polluted"), the fauna is dominated by species typical of disturbance and a few lagoonal species. A dredged area closer to the sea ("Goro dredged") is totally dominated by species characteristic of disturbance. The species diversity in all lagoons ranges from low to very low. According to the distribution of individuals in geometric abundance classes, all the are characterized as stressed. The distribution of individuals in geometric size classes shows dominance of larger specimens in the least disturbed Tsopeli and exclusively small sizes in the greatly disturbed dredged area of Goro. The abundance/biomass comparison curves characterize Tsopeli as undisturbed, Vivari and Goro polluted stations as moderately disturbed and Goro dredged station as disturbed. The last two methods agree with the characterization derived by examining the dominant species. It is concluded that methods based on size changes of the fauna are more sensitive than those based on relative abundance in assessing disturbance in coastal brackish-water lagoons.}, keywords = {inc}, author = {Reizopoulou, S. and Thessalou-Legaki, M. and Nicolaidou, A.} } @article {10009, title = {Sediment properties and bacterial community in burrows of the ghost shrimp Pestarella tyrrhena (Decapoda: Thalassinidea)}, journal = {Aquatic Microbial EcologyAquatic Microbial Ecology}, volume = {38}, number = {2}, year = {2005}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 1Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Aller, J.Y., Aller, R.C., Evidence for localized enhancement of biological activity associated with tube and burrow structures in deep-sea sediments at the HEBBLE site, western North Atlantic (1986) Deep-Sea Res, 33, pp. 755-790; Aller, R.C., Yingst, J.Y., Ullman, W.J., Comparative biogeochemistry of water in intertidal Onuphis (Polychaeta) and Upogebia (Crustacea) burrows: Temporal patterns and causes (1983) J Mar Res, 41, pp. 571-604; Andresen, M., Kristensen, E., The importance of bacteria and microalgae in the diet of the deposit-feeding polychaete Arenicola marina (2002) Ophelia, 56, pp. 179-196; Ausubel, F.W., Brent, R., Kingston, R.E., Moore, D.D., Seidman, J.G., Struhl, K., Smith, J.A., (1995) Short Protocols in Molecular Biology, 3rd Edn., , John Wiley \& Sons, New York; Bird, F.L., Boon, P.I., Nichols, P.D., Physicochemical and microbial properties of burrows of the deposit-feeding Thalassinidean ghost shrimp Biffarius arenosus (Decapoda: Callianassidae) (2000) Estuar Coast Shelf Sci, 51, pp. 279-291; Bligh, E.G., Dyer, W., A rapid method for total lipid extraction and purification (1959) Can J Biochem Phys, 37, pp. 911-917; Branch, G.M., Pringle, A., The impact of the sand prawn Callianassa kraussi Stebbing on sediment turnover and on bacteria, meiofauna, and benthic microflora (1987) J Exp Mar Biol Ecol, 107, pp. 219-235; Buchanan, J.B., Sediment analysis (1984) Methods for the Study of Marine Benthos, pp. 45-61. , Holme NA, McIntyre AD (eds) Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford; Cammen, L.M., The significance of microbial carbon in the nutrition of the deposit feeding polychaete Nereis succinea (1980) Mar Biol, 61, pp. 9-20; Danovaro, R., Detritus-bacteria-meiofauna in a seagrass bed (Posidonia oceanica) of the NW Mediterranean (1996) Mar Biol, 127, pp. 1-13; Danovaro, R., Fabiano, M., Boyer, M., Seasonal changes of benthic bacteria in a seagrass bed (Posidonia oceanica) of the Ligurian Sea in relation to origin, composition and fate of the sediment organic matter (1994) Mar Biol, 119, pp. 489-500; De Jonge, V.E., Fluctuations in the organic carbon to chlorophyll a ratios for estuarine benthic diatom populations (1980) Mar Ecol Prog Ser, 2, pp. 345-353; De Vaugelas, J., Buscail, R., Organic matter distribution in burrows of the thalassinid crustacean Callichurus laure, Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea) (1990) Hydrobiologia, 207, pp. 269-277; Dobbs, F.C., Guckert, J.B., Callianassa trilobata (Crustacea: Thalassinidea) influences abundance of meiofauna and biomass, composition, and physiologic state of microbial communities within its burrow (1988) Mar Ecol Prog Ser, 45, pp. 69-79; Dworschak, P.C., The biology of Upogebia pussila (Petagna) (Decapoda, Thalassinidea).

P. tyrrhena burrow walls had significantly higher amounts of silt and clay, while total organic carbon (TOC) was up to 6 times higher than in surrounding sediment. Chlorophyll a (chl a) accounted for a small fraction of TOC and showed similar values in burrow walls and surface sediment, whereas the low chl a: chl a + phaeopigment ratio indicated the presence of more fresh material in the latter. Biopolymers (carbohydrates, proteins and lipids) were 4 to 11 times higher in burrow walls than in the surrounding sediment, accounting for 47 \% of TOC. The low protein: carbohydrate ratio indicated that the high TOC in the burrow walls was caused by the presence of aged detritus of low nutritional quality, such as seagrass detritus. The distinct conditions along the burrow wall also affected the bacterial community and resulted in a 10-fold increase of bacterial abundance. Molecular fingerprints of the bacterial communities showed that the bacterial composition of the burrow wall was more similar to the ambient anoxic sediment and showed less seasonal change than the sediment surface. These results suggest that burrow walls have distinct properties and should not be considered merely as a simple extension of the sediment surface. {\textcopyright} Inter-Research 2005.}, keywords = {bacteria, Bioturbation, Crustacea, organic matter, PCR-DGGE, Pestarella tyrrhena, Seagrass detritus}, author = {Papaspyrou, S. and Gregersen, T. and Cox, R.P. and Thessalou-Legaki, M. and Kristensen, E.} } @proceedings {10010, title = {Effects of the mud shrimp Callianassa tyrrhena on benthic metabolism under an increased organic matter loading in experimental microcosms}, year = {2002}, month = {2-6.9.2002}, pages = {79}, address = {Corfu}, keywords = {KAPE crustacea decapoda}, author = {Papaspyrou, S. and Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @article {9770, title = {Benthic invertebrate communities of NW Rodos (Rhodes) Island (SE Aegean Sea) as related to hydrological regime and geographical location}, journal = {Israel Journal of ZoologyIsrael Journal of Zoology}, volume = {45}, number = {3}, year = {1999}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 4Export Date: 6 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Bachelet, G., De Montaudouin, X., Dauvin, J.-C., The quantitative distribution of subtidal macrozoobenthic assemblages in Arcachon Bay in relation to environmental factors: A multivariate analysis (1996) Estuar.

Sampling was conducted on board commercial trawlers on a monthly basis in two consequent open fishing seasons (October to May 2000-2001 and 2001-2002) resulting to a total of 70 hauls. Samples were also obtained through experimental trawling (24 hauls) during the closed season. The main trawling ground is located near the border between the outer and the inner gulf, and along the western and northeastern coasts of the outer gulf in depths ranging from 35 to 70 m (most frequently at 40-50 m). Catch per unit effort (CPUE) varied significantly with month but not with fishing season (mean CPUE 3.18 and 1.78 kg/h for the 2 successive years) or depth. Catches were at maximum (up to 7.5 kg/h) at the beginning of the open season in autumn and decreased sharply as the season proceeded (< 2.5 kg/h), which is likely to be due to induced fishing mortality in the preceding months, to prawn dispersal and/or to its tendency for longer bur-rowing. Commercial fishing trips consisted of multiple, short efforts when catches were high, whereas low yields during winter-spring led to less hauls of longer duration: In CPUE= 2.974 - 2.047 In HD, r= -0.57. Prawn size ranged from 17 to 60 mm CL, showing a consistent difference in favor of females. A weak recruitment to the fishery was observed from autumn through winter, while, as shown by experimental trawling, the main recruitment pulse to the fishery occurs just prior to the season{\textquoteright}s opening. The delayed arrival of the prawns on the fishing ground during the second fishing season, accompanied by smaller prawn size and shallower exploitation depth, was possibly related to decreased autumn rainfall. In both years, sex ratio showed a temporal pattern, which seems to be the result of sex-related differences in fishing vulnerability, in timing of inshore migration and in mating mortality.

Female relative growth of rostrum proved to be negative allometric both seasonally and in the pooled annual data set. Males on the other hand, showed no or negative correlation of rostrum length with size. Mature males with short rostra dominated in the male population all year around. The appearance of males with long and intermediate rostra during winter, which disappear thereafter in favour of those with short rostra, indicates that rostrum shortening takes place during the end of winter. The increase of mated females during spring supports the hypothesis already addressed by other authors on the function of the male short rostrum in this species mating behaviour. Nevertheless, the paucity, in comparison to other Mediterranean populations, of males with long or intermediate rostra could indicate that for the bulk of the male population, the process of rostrum shortening in the Eastern Ionian Sea occurs outside the geographical locality or depth range sampled.}, keywords = {A. antennatus, Aristeidae, Crustacea, Decapoda, Ionian Sea, Mediterranean, Rostrum relative growth}, author = {Kapiris, K. and Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @proceedings {7269, title = {Reproductive aspects of the deep-sea shrimp Aristeus antennatus (Decapoda: Aristeidae) in the Greek Ionian Sea. }, year = {2002}, month = {2-6.9.2002}, pages = {70-71}, address = {Corfu}, keywords = {KAPE Crustacea}, author = {Kapiris, K. and Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @article {7270, title = {Comparative reproduction aspects of the deep-water shrimps Aristaeomorpha foliacea and Aristeus antennatus (Decapoda, Aristeidae) in the Greek Ionian Sea (eastern Mediterranean)}, journal = {International Journal of ZoologyInternational Journal of Zoology}, volume = {2009}, year = {2009}, note = {(Article ID 979512)}, month = {2009}, pages = {1-9}, author = {Kapiris, K. and Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @proceedings {4782, title = {Does environmental quality affect the abundance and catch-per-unit-of-effort of Upogebia pusilla fishing grounds in Western Greece?. }, year = {2002}, month = {2-6.9.2002}, pages = {52}, address = {Corfu}, keywords = {KAPE crustacea decapoda}, author = {Conides, A.J. and Thessalou-Legaki, M. and Hunter, S.A.} } @proceedings {4781, title = {Maturity and reproduction of the mud prawn Upogebia pusilla population in western Greece}, year = {2001}, pages = {52-53}, address = {Melbourne, Australia}, keywords = {Kape Decapoda}, author = {Conides, A.J. and Apostolopoulou, M. and Thessalou-Legaki, M. and Nikolaidou, A. and Lumare, F.} } @proceedings {4550, title = {Population structure and reproduction of the deep-water shrimp, Plesionika martia (Decapoda: Pandalidae) from the eastern Ionian Sea. }, year = {2002}, month = {2-6.9.2002}, pages = {49}, address = {Corfu}, keywords = {KAPE crustacea decapoda}, author = {Chilari, A. and Petrakis, G. and Thessalou-Legaki, M.} } @article {4552, title = {Population structure and reproduction of the deep-water shrimp Plesionika martia (Decapoda: Pandalidae) from the eastern Ionian Sea}, journal = {Journal of Crustacean BiologyJournal of Crustacean Biology}, volume = {25}, number = {2}, year = {2005}, note = {Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Abello?, P., Carbonell, A., Torres, P., Biogeography of epibenthic crustaceans on the shelf and upper slope off the Iberian Peninsula Mediterranean coasts: Implications for the establishment of natural management areas (2002) Scientia Marina, 66 (2 SUPPL.), pp. 183-198; Valladares, F.J., Castello?n, A., Analysis of the structure of decapod crustacean assemblages off the Catalan coast (North-West Mediterranean) (1988) Marine Biology, 98, pp. 39-49; Campisi, S., Cuccu, D., Murenu, M., Follesa, M.C., Cau, A., Aspetti riproduttivi di Plesionika martia (A.

Samples were collected monthly (July 1999-June 2000) at a depth range of 440-600 m between Zakynthos Island and Peloponnissos (eastern Ionian Sea, Greece). Additional samples were taken in April and May 2001. Size-frequency distribution revealed that mean female size consistently exceeded that of males throughout the year (CL range: 8-23.5 mm and 9.3-29.1 mm for males and females, respectively). Smaller individuals of both sexes occurred only at depths less than 500 m. Mean size of both sexes increased linearly with depth, whereas a less prominent trend of sex ratio in favor of females by depth was observed. The overall yearly and the monthly sex ratio were in favor of females except during winter, when the two sexes were equally represented. Carapace length-wet weight relationships showed negative allometry, for both males and females. Ovigerous females occurred year around, although the main reproductive season extended from April to October. The smallest ovigerous female was 11.8 mm CL, whereas the size at 50\% sexual maturity (CLm50) was estimated as 16.16 mm. Fecundity and reproductive output were found loosely related to shrimp size. The von Bertalanffy growth curve parameters were estimated as: L? = 30.6 mm, k = 0.31 year-1 in females and L? = 28.2 mm, k = 0.53 year-1 in males. Regarding the major life history traits, P. martia from the eastern Ionian seemed to conform to those in other Mediterranean areas. Nevertheless, some population differences exist, which can be related to the oligotrophic conditions and the lack of fishing pressure in the studied area.}, keywords = {Crustacea}, author = {Chilari, A. and Thessalou-Legaki, M. and Petrakis, G.} }
