Abstract

Amphidromous atyid shrimps in the genus Atyopsis consist of two species, namely, A. moluccensis and A. spinipes. The geographical distribution of A. spinipes extends to the Pacific islands and is wider than that of A. moluccensis. Amphidromous shrimp populations are linked through marine larval dispersal. Therefore, A. spinipes larvae may have an ability to survive in the open sea. We tested this expectation through larval culture experiments under different temperatures (20, 24, 28 and 32 °C) and salinity (8.5, 17, 25.5 and 34 ppt) conditions, which are crucial abiotic factors affecting the larval performance of decapod crustaceans. The larvae of A. moluccensis died soon after hatching at 34 ppt and survived to the juvenile stage under 24–32 °C and 17–25.5 ppt conditions. The larvae of A. spinipes survived to the juvenile stage under 24–32 °C and 17–34 ppt conditions, and their moulting incidence and survival time to death at 20 °C were higher and longer, respectively, compared with A. moluccensis larvae. The larvae of A. spinipes adapted to lower temperature and higher salinity conditions, allowing this species to expand their northward distribution through the open sea with high salinity conditions.
