First record of two decapod crustaceans, the caramote prawn Penaeus kerathurus and the blue crab Callinectes sapidus from Galician waters (NE Atlantic)
[ES] Two unusual crustacean decapods are reported for the first time from the coasts of Galicia (NW Spain). A specimen of caramote prawn Penaeus kerathurus (Penaeidae) was caught in the Ría de Arousa in 2014 and a specimen of blue crab Callinectes sapidus (Portunidae) was caught in the Ría de Vigo i...

| Sumario: | [ES] Two unusual crustacean decapods are reported for the first time from the coasts of Galicia (NW Spain). A specimen of caramote prawn Penaeus kerathurus (Penaeidae) was caught in the Ría de Arousa in 2014 and a specimen of blue crab Callinectes sapidus (Portunidae) was caught in the Ría de Vigo in 2015, the first one being a native species whereas the second is an exotic one. A tropicalization process due to ocean warming could favour the arrival of warm water species to temperate latitudes as well as the establishment of introduced species. |
