First record of Hippolyte prideauxiana leach, 1817 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Caridea) in the Adriatic Sea

During the last ten years, several decapod species were recorded in the Adriatic Sea for the first time. Such a rapid increase in the number of recorded species of decapod crustaceans is the result of the increased number of carcinologists engaged in SCUBA diving. In 2002, during the routine Natural...

Summary:During the last ten years, several decapod species were recorded in the Adriatic Sea for the first time. Such a rapid increase in the number of recorded species of decapod crustaceans is the result of the increased number of carcinologists engaged in SCUBA diving. In 2002, during the routine Natural History Museum of Rijeka SCUBA fieldwork, the caridean shrimp, Hippolyte prideauxiana Leach, 1817, was collected at Kostrena near the city of Rijeka in the northern Adriatic. This record, the first for the Adriatic Sea, widens the previously known geographic distribution of this species.Original Abstract: Zadnjih desetak godina u Jadranu je zabiljezeno nekoliko novih vrsta desetonoznih rakova. Rast broja nalaza dekapoda u kratkom vremenskom roku mozemo zahvaliti vecoj aktivnosti znanstvenika karcinologa istrazivanju podmorja metodom autonomnog ronjenja. Terenskim radom Prirodoslovnog muzeja Rijeka 2002. godine pronadjen je primjerak kozice Hippolyte prideauxiana Leach, 1817, na lokaciji Stare vode u Kostreni pored Rijeke. Ovaj nalaz, prvi za Jadransko more, prosirio je dosad poznatu geografsku rasprostranjenost spomenute vrste.
