  • The first zoea of Petrolisthes trilobatus Osawa, 1996, from a female collected in Japan is described and illustrated. Its morphological characteristics are compared with those of other known species of the genus Petrolisthes. The first zoea of P. trilobatus appears very similar to those of P. lamarckii, P. asiaticus and P. hastatus. However, it could be distinguished from the others in having a spine on the lower posterior margin of the carapace, three pairs of setae on the postero-dorsal surface of the telson and minute spinules on the dorsal margins of the abdominal somites 2-5. Based on zoeal morphology, it is suggested that the zoeas of Petrolisthes could be divided into two groups: the first group (P. coccineus, P. moluccensis, P. lamarckii, P. trilobatus, P. asiaticus, P. hastatus, P. pubescens, P. tomentosus, and P. carinipes) and the second one (P. ohshimai, P. armatus, P. boscii, P. tridentatus, P. tonsorius, and P. japonicus).

  • The first zoeal stage of Pagurus japonicus is described and illustrated. Its morphological characteristics are compared with of other species of the genus Pagurus. The first zoea of P. japonicus was very similar to that of P. similis. The zoeas of the two species could be distinguished from other pagurid zoeas by morphological characteristics of the carapace without posterolateral spine. two setae on the endopod of the antenna, and 3+3 setae on the endopod of the maxilla. They show affinities more to the species of the family Diogenidae than to the species of the genus Pagurus in respect of zoeal morphology.

  • The zoeal stages of Pisidia serratifrons are described and illustrated for the first time and its morphological characteristics are compared with those of three known Pisidia species of the family Porcellanidae. The zoea of P. serratifrons differs from those of other Pisidia (P. brasiliensis, P. dispar, and P. dehaanii), by having 11 spinules on the exopod of the antenna. In order to facilitate the study of plankton-collected material, a provisional key is provided for identification of the Korean porcellanid zoeae.

  • Two porcellanid crabs collected from Jeju Island, Petrolisthes militaris (Heller, 1862) and P. coccineus (Owen, 1839) are recorded as new to Korean fauna. Hence, the Korean porcellanid crabs consist of nine species of seven genera and the genus Petrolisthes now contains three described species.

Understanding the Nutritional Sources of Gastropods and Anomura from the Mangrove Forest of Weno Island, Micronesia (마이크로네시아 웨노섬의 맹그로브 숲에 서식하는 고둥류 및 집게의 영양원에 대한 이해)

  • Carbon cycling and productivity within Weno Island of Micronesia enclosed by the coral reef may be likely self-maintained and insignificantly affected by the open ocean. Therefore, it is important to understand the role of the mangrove known as providing the organic matter and habitats for many organisms in this enclosed area. In order to trace the nutritional source of fauna (mostly invertebrates) in the mangrove forest of Weno island, we analyzed the fatty acid (FA) and carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of potential nutritional sources (mangrove leaf & pneumatophore, seagrass leaf & root, surface sediment, and particulate organic matter (POM) in water) and consumers (4 gastropods and anomura). The mangrove and seagrass contained the abundance of 18:2${\omega}$6, and 18:3${\omega}$3, whereas FAs associated with phytoplankton and bacteria were accounted for a high proportion in the surface sediment and POM. FA composition of consumers was found to be similar to those of the surface sediment, mangrove, and seagrass. These were also confirmed through the mixing model of stable isotope for contribution of nutritional sources to consumers. Overall results with the feeding types of investigated mangrove fauna indicate that investigated mangrove fauna obtained their nutrition from the various sources, i.e. the mangrove for Littorina cf. scabra, the microalgae for Strombus sp., and omnivorous Pagurus sp. and Terebralia cf. palustris. However, it is obvious that the nutrition of most species living in the mangrove ecosystem is highly dependent on the mangrove, either directly or indirectly. More detail food-web structure and function of the mangrove ecosystem would be established with the analysis of additional fauna and flora.

  • Two porcelain crab species, Aliaporcellana pygmaea (De Man, 1902) and Lissoporcellana nakasonei (Miyake, 1978), are reported here for the first time from Korean waters based on specimens collected from Jeju Island, Korea. The genus Aliaporcellana Nakasone and Miyake, 1969, and Lissoporcellana Haig, 1978 are also reported here for the first time in Korea. Aliaporcellana pygmaea has a wide distribution. The specimen reported here is the most northern record of this species. While, Lissoporcellana nakasonei, associated with anthozoans, was known for distributing range from New Caledonia to southern Japan. As a result, the distribution rage of L. nakasonei is changed to Korea. Now, 12 species of porcelain crabs have been reported in Korean waters.

  • Pagurus undosus and Pagurus parvispina, collected from the East Sea by fishery trap, are newly recorded from Korean waters. Pagurus undosus is distinguished from other hermit crab by its right cheliped slightly elevated medially, and with broad ridge formed by deep depressions mesial and lateral to midline. Pagurus parvispina is distinguished from other hermit crab by its right cheliped covered with large spine and long tufts of setae. These species live in cold water areas and their geographical distribution is extended southwardly by the present study. A specimen of the former species, P. undosus, was found living in a shelter formed by a sponge, similar to that observed in Pagurus pectinatus. Descriptions and figures of these two species are provided in this paper. Currently, 27 species of the genus Pagurus are recorded in Korean fauna.
