Aborolobatea is a genus of crustaceans in the Oedicerotidae family, and was first described in 1984 by Michel Ledoyer. [2] [3]
In Australia, species of this genus are found in the IMCRA regions of the Northeast Shelf Province and the Northeast Shelf Transition. [1]
There are two species in this genus: [2]
The Coral Sea is a marginal sea of the South Pacific off the northeast coast of Australia, and classified as an interim Australian bioregion. The Coral Sea extends 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) down the Australian northeast coast. Most of it is protected by the French Natural Park of the Coral Sea and the Australian Coral Sea Marine Park. The sea was the location for the Battle of the Coral Sea, a major confrontation during World War II between the navies of the Empire of Japan, and the United States and Australia.
Chionoecetes is a genus of crabs that live in the northern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Oedicerotidae is a family of amphipods. It comprises the following genera:
Nebalia is a large genus of small crustaceans containing more than half of the species in the order Leptostraca, and was first described by William Elford Leach in 1814. The genus contains over thirty species:
Leucothoe is a genus of amphipods in the family Leucothoidae. It contains the following species:
Allopleuron is a genus of extinct sea turtle, which measured 2-to-2.5-metre long in life. The type species is Allopleuron hofmanni. It is a basal member of the clade Pancheloniidae, closely related to Protosphargis. Similar to Protosphargis, it was characterized by shell reduction.
The Australian sawtail catshark is a common species of catshark, and part of the family Scyliorhinidae, endemic to southern Australian waters. It is found on or near the bottom of the outer continental shelf and upper continental slope, at depths of 85 to 823 m. This slim-bodied species is characterized by crests of enlarged dermal denticles along both the dorsal and ventral edges of its caudal fin and caudal peduncle, along with a color pattern of broad, dark saddles outlined in white. It can grow to 61 cm (24 in) in length. The Australian sawtail catshark feeds mainly on fishes, crustaceans, and cephalopods. Females are oviparous and lay eggs enclosed by capsules. This species is often caught incidentally by commercial bottom trawl fisheries, but is not significantly threatened by fishing activity. Thus, it has been assessed as of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Iphinoe is a genus of crustaceans which belong to the family Bodotriidae. It includes the following species:
Chionoecetes opilio, a species of snow crab, also known as opilio crab or opies, is a predominantly epifaunal crustacean native to shelf depths in the northwest Atlantic Ocean and north Pacific Ocean. It is a well-known commercial species of Chionoecetes, often caught with traps or by trawling. Seven species are in the genus Chionoecetes, all of which bear the name "snow crab". C. opilio is related to C. bairdi, commonly known as the tanner crab, and other crab species found in the cold, northern oceans.
Nototropis is a genus of amphipod crustaceans, in the family, Atylidae, and was first described by Achille Costa in 1853.
Stegocephalidae is a little-studied family of amphipods belonging to the suborder Gammaridea.
Campylaspis is a genus of crustaceans in the order Cumacea. Species of Campylaspis have a "bulky" carapace, which makes up more than 40% of the animal's length, as well as distinctive features of the mouthparts. There are currently 170 recognised described species:
Carangoliopsis is a monotypic genus of crustaceans belonging to the monotypic family Carangoliopsidae. The only species is Carangoliopsis spinulosa.
Tulearus is a monotypic genus of crustaceans belonging to the monotypic family Tulearidae. The only species is Tulearus thomassini. The genus and species were first described in 1979 by Michel Ledoyer.
Harpiniopsis is a genus of crustaceans in the family Phoxocephalidae. Species of this genus are found throughout the world. It was first described by Knud Stephensen in 1925.
Ceradocus is a genus of amphipods in the family, Maeridae, and was first described in 1853 by Achille Costa. The type species is Ceradocus orchestiipes.
Austropheonoides is a genus of amphipods in the Cyproideidae family, and was first described in 1972 by Jerry Laurens Barnard
Anisomysis is a genus of mysids, first described in 1910 by Hans Jacob Hansen.
Aborolobatea paracheliformis is a marine species of crustaceans in the Oedicerotidae family, and was first described in 1984 by Michel Ledoyer.
Aborolobatea insidiosa is a species of marine crustacean in the Oedicerotidae family, and was first described in 2009 by Lauren E. Hughes and James K. Lowry.
