Petrolisthes elongatus ( англиски )

добавил wikipedia EN

Petrolisthes elongatus, known as the New Zealand half crab,[2] elongated porcelain crab, blue half crab, blue false crab or simply as the half crab or false crab,[3] is a species of porcelain crab native to New Zealand.

Description

The carapace is flattened with smooth side and rear margins, width is up to 18 mm (0.71 in),[2] and long whip-like antennae grow from the front corners, with the short rostrum extending beyond the large prominent eyes. The animal either filter feeds with long setae borne from the maxilliped palps, or scavenges by chopping up flesh with the second maxilliped and further shredding with the mandibles. The large chelipeds are generally smooth with no teeth or serrations, mainly used for territorial defense among males, who usually have one enlarged. Chelipeds and legs bear randomly located spines which can break off with wear, and these areas are dorsally coloured the same as the carapace, in black, blue, greenish or greyish, the ventral areas lighter. The last pair of legs are setose, reduced in size and carried folded under a large abdominal flap, which also allows the animal to swim backwards. Telson and uropods also setose.

Studies in New Zealand from the 1960s and 1970s showed a difference in breeding biology from north to south, with ovigerous females found all year round in Auckland, and only in the summer months around Kaikoura. Females are assumed to brood two or three times during their lifespan, producing 500 - 1000 eggs.[4]

Distribution & Habitat

P. elongatus is native to all areas of New Zealand but has also been introduced to Tasmania and Victoria, Australia.[3] In New Zealand it habits mussel beds, wharf pilings, estuaries, and the intertidal zone on rocky shores, where it is abundant beneath boulders and stones.[4]

Petrolisthes elongatus ( шпански; кастиљски )

добавил wikipedia ES

Petrolisthes elongatus es una especie de crustáceo decápodo de la familia Porcellanidae.

Morfología

Su caparazón es redondeado, algo más largo que ancho, sin espinas dorsales ni supraoculares, finamente granulado. El merus de los pereiópodos está desarmado y el telson tiene 7 placas.[3]​ Sus antenas sensoriales son largas.

Decápodo significa "con diez pies", pero su quinto par de patas es muy reducido, quedando en ocasiones oculto por la concha, siendo empleado para mantener limpias las branquias.

El abdomen conserva un abanico en la cola similar a la de las langostas o camarones, es muy móvil, y cuando el cangrejo está amenazado lo contrae y expande para nadar fuera de peligro. Normalmente está recogido bajo el tórax, no siendo visible.

Sus considerables y aplanadas pinzas las utiliza solo para defensa, no usándolas para alimentarse. Para esto, tienen una largas setas (cerdas) formando abanicos cerca de la boca, que utilizan como una escoba para atrapar pequeños organismos, como algas planctónicas y crustáceos de la columna de agua.

Alcanza los 21 mm de tamaño.[4]​ Su coloración es azul verdosa, con los extremos de las quelas en tono rojizo.

Alimentación

Es un filtrador que se alimenta de algas y crustáceos planctónicos, que atrapa de la columna de agua con sus cerdas retráctiles en abanico.

Hábitat y distribución

Habita en arrecifes, sobre rocas y corales. En zonas intermareales y hasta 12 m de `profundidad.[5]

Se distribuye en el océano Pacífico, es nativo de Nueva Zelanda y se localiza también en Tasmania y el sureste de Australia.[6]
