Descriptions Of Shrimp Larvae (Family Penaeidae) Off The Mississippi Coast, Chebium B. Subrahmanyam
Descriptions Of Shrimp Larvae (Family Penaeidae) Off The Mississippi Coast, Chebium B. Subrahmanyam
Gulf and Caribbean Research
Müller (1864) showed that the penaeid egg hatches into a nauplius. Some years later studies of the metamorphosis of penaeid shrimps in the Gulf of Mexico were made (Pearson 1939, Heegaard 1953, Dobkin 1961, Cook and Murphy 1965, and Renfro and Cook 1963). The present paper treats the larvae taken in Mississippi and brings together the descriptions of the larvae scattered in the literature. The salient features of various stages of different species of the six genera studied are pointed out with the aid of drawings to facilitate easier identification. Besides the references cited above, the works of Heldt (1938), …
The Relative Abundance And Distribution Of Penaeid Shrimp Larvae Off The Mississippi Coast, Chebium B. Subrahmanyam
The Relative Abundance And Distribution Of Penaeid Shrimp Larvae Off The Mississippi Coast, Chebium B. Subrahmanyam
Gulf and Caribbean Research
The objectives of the present investigation are: (a) to delineate spawning seasons and the areas of as many species as possible based on larval abundance; (b) to study the spatial and seasonal distribution of penaeid larvae in relation to depth, temperature, salinity and seasons, which will indicate the movements of the spawners; (e) to inquire whether any correlation exists between occurrence of larvae and of adults in any area; (d) to examine the relationship between Penaeus postlarval abundance in the Mississippi Sound and larval and postlarval occurrence in the open sea; and (e) to study the vertical seasonal distribution of …
