Topic: Dendrobranchiata


  
 Prawn - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Prawns are edible, shrimp-like crustaceans, belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata.
They are distinguished from the superficially similar shrimp by the gill structure which is branching in prawns (hence the name, dendro="tree"; branchia="gill"), but is lamellar in shrimp.
The sister taxon to Dendrobranchiata is Pleocyemata, which contains all the true shrimp, crabs, lobsters, etc.

 Decapod Info
The suborder Dendrobranchiata is characterized by shrimps with gills having two principle branches off of a main axis.
These species can most easily be recognized by their having small chelae on the first three pair of walking legs.
They are also the most often encountered members of the suborder Dendrobranchiata in shallow waters.

Spermatozoal ultrastructure in three Atlantic solenocerid shrimps (Decapoda, Dendrobranchiata).
The spermatozoal ultrastructure in three solenocerid shrimps (Solenocera membranacea, S. africana, and Pleoticus muelleri) from different Atlantic locations was examined with the aim of increasing understanding of the phylogenetic relationships in the Dendrobranchiata.
A considerable structural similarity between the sperm of these species and those of penaeid shrimps supports a close affinity between the Penaeidae and Solenoceridae.

Moult activity-related spawning success in the Mediterranean deep-water shrimp Aristeus antennatus (Decapoda: Dendrobranchiata)
The relationship between mating, spawning and moult cycles of Aristeus antennatus (Risso, 1816) (Dendrobranchiata: Aristeidae) was analysed for 4 yr as a determinant of reproductive strategies.
Field specimens were obtained from an exploited population off the Catalan coast, Spain (northwestern Mediterranean).

 NOAA Ocean Explorer: Gulf of Mexico Expedition
I have been studying this question for some time.
The main species of worms I work on is called Methanoaricia dendrobranchiata (I know, this is terrible to pronounce so let’s call it by its family name: Orbiniid).
These orbiniids are mobile: they can move to another area when the conditions are not good enough.
