Michael J Hos ie Fish C m i ssion o f Oregon Groundfish and Shrimp Investigations A p r i l 1975 CULTURE METHODS AND RESPONSE OF LABORATORY-REARED PINK SHRIMP (PANDALUS JORMIYI) LARVAE TO SELECTED SIf51ULATED ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS L i t t l e i s known o f the l a r v a l l i f e of P . jordmri. Published studies o f P . jordmri 1arvae have been 1argely r e s t r i c t e d t o descri ptions o f 1aboratory-reared l a r v a l stages (Hodin and Cox 1967; Lee 1969). Pearcy (1972) attempted t o c o l l e c t P . jordani o f f the Oregon coast, w i t h 1it t l e success. The major objective o f t h i s study was t o r e f i n e c u l t u r e methods f o r shrimp larvae. Further objectives were t o ascertain influence o f water current and l i g h t i n t e n s i t y on survival and behavior of i n i t i a l zoeal stages. The time period of l a r v a l emergence was also studied. METHODS AND WTERIALS Collecting and Holding Adult Shrimp I n Late i.tarci.1 1971, ovigerous P. jord7mr.i were caught by shrimp trawl off Coos Bay, Oregon. They were held i n 136.5 l i t e r (30 gallon) p l a s t i c containers and transported t o the Fish Commission o f Oregon marine laboratory a t Newport, Oregon. These female shrimp were he1d i n a r e c i r c u l a t i ng seawater aquarium designed by Lukas (1973). Each shrimp used t o obtain larvae was removed from the aquarium and placed i n a 2000-ml beaker containing 1500 m l o f sea water. Adult shrimp were kept near the bottom o f the beakers by a large-mesh p l a s t i c screen t o prevent cannibalization of larvae. tlli nced fresh cock1e clams (~Zinomdiwnnuttat Z i i ) o r gaper clams (Treaus capex) were fed t o these shrimp. Larvae Culture Techniques Shrinip larvae c u l t u r e methods were patterned a f t e r those of Reed (1969) and Gaumer (1969, 1970) f o r Dungeness crab (Cmcer magiater) larvae. Only larvae less than one day o l d and a c t i v e l y swimning near the water surface were used. )hen larvae appeared i n beakers, tiley were transferred by large-mouth pipette t o eittier 250-ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 200 ml of water or 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks f i 1 led w i t h 400 nil of water. Plastic caps were placed 1oosely over flasks t o eliminate air-borne contamination. an a i r 1 ine tllro~qhtops of the caps. Flasks were aerated by inserting The aniount of a i r introduced was regulated so that a cortit~cous,b u t slow, series of b c 2 . 1 5 discharged. In one experi- ment, to det.enline ir~lpnrtanceof water aeration of survival , flasks were not aerated. A71 rearing containers were placed in a constant temperature water bath initia7ly maintained a t 10 c 5 0.5 c. T h i s temperature closely approximated ocean conditions (9.3 t o 10.9 c surface and 9.5 to 10.0 c near bottom) when the majority of larvae hatched naturally on the northern Oregon shrimp grounds in idarch 1968 (Robinson and iljilburn i n press). llhen sktriap reached zoeal stage 9, the water bath temperature - 0.5 c) to simulate known ocean floor temperwas lowered and maintained a t 7.2 c (+ atures of 6.1 t o 7.8 c (Lukas and Iiosie 1973) in spring and early sumner. I t was assumed t h i s was the time of inetamorphosis. Sea water was obtained from Yaquina Bay and f i l t e r e d through a Plicroflocpolyvinyl chloride f i l t e r to el ininate particles larger than 5 was suppressed by ultraviolet treatment. p. Bacterial growth Sal inity was maintained a t 30 O/oo, 2 0 1 /oo, by dilutfon w i t h d i s t i l l e d water. Shrinlp were exposed to 12 hours of flourescent 7ight of 69 t o 73 f t . c from 0600 t o 1800 hours, w i t h complete darkness d u r i n g the r e s t of a 24 hour day. Light measurements were made w i ti) a rrlodel 756 Weston il7umi nation meter. Water in the containers was changed, shrimp fed, development noted, and the presence of mortalities and exuviae recorded three times per week. Larvae were considered dead i f they failed t o respond t o agitation w i t h a sma71 pipette. were cleaned periodical1.y to prevent algae growth. Flasks Larvae were fed newly hatched n a u p l i i of San Francisco v a r i e t y b r i n e shrimp (Artenria satins) a t a concentration of 15 naupl i i / m l of r e a r i n g water v i a a c a l i b r a t e d automatic p i p e t t e . E f f e c t s of L i g h t on Survival The effects of l i g h t on s u r v i v a l was tested by p l a c i n g 59 newly-hatched zoeae (about l 6 / f l a s k ) i n t o four black painted 250-ml f l a s k s containing 200 m l of water. Four transparent 250-1111 f 1asks containing 52 newly-hatched zoeae (about 1 3 l f l a s k ) were used as a c o n t r o l . Effects of Aeration and Lack o f Food on Survival Experiments were conducted t o a s c e r t a i n e f f e c t s o f a e r a t i o n on s u r v i v a l o f : (a) unfed newly-i~atched larvae and (b) feeding larvae reared through the zoeal stages. I n the f i r s t experiment, s u r v i v a l comparisons were made between two groups o f 60 unfed recently-hatched zoeae. They were reared u n t i l death i n e i t h e r aerated o r non-aerated 500-ml flasks a t 30 zoeae/fl ask. I n the second experiment, the e f f e c t o f a e r a t i o n on feeding larvae was tested by p l a c i n g 60 newly-hatched zoeae i n t o two non-aerated 500-ml flasks (30 zoeae/flask) containing food. four a w a t e d 500-ml f 1asks containing 120 newly-hatched deeding zceae (3CISlask) were used as % control. The maximum number of days newly-hatched zoeae could l i v e without food was determined i n the unfed 1arvae a e r a t i o n experiment. Larvae Emergence To determine number o f Jays necessary f o r a l l eggs t o hatch and t h e s p e c i f i c time o f larvae emergence during a day, an experiment was conducted using three ovigerous shrimp. Each shrimp was placed i n an i n d i v i d u a l 1000-ml beaker. vations f o r emergent larvae were made each day f o r 24 days. Each morn- hours newly-emerged 1arvae ?!ere r m o v d and thei r ntrmher.: rncurded . O W - a t 0800 TO a s c e r t a i n specific emergence time, beakers were checked during four continuous days a t eight times per day (0400, 0600, 0800, 1200, 1700, 2000, 2200, and 2400 hours). Effects of L i g h t Intensity and \dater Current on Behavior Observations were made on response of f i r s t and t h i r d stage P. jordani zoeae t o l i g h t intensity and water current u s i n g a l i g h t chamber and a current cylinder (Figure 1) developed by Gaumer (1970). Only early stage shrimp zoeae were utilized because Gaumer ( F i s h Comission of Oregon, pers. comm.) found l a t e stages of 1aboratory-reared Oungeness crab 1arvae d i splayed di fferent reactions i n these containers than ocean-col 1ected 1arvae. The l i g h t chamber and current cylinder were i n a darkened controlled temperature mom. A n ~ e t r i cscale was attached t o the side of each container t o measure 1arval movement. Botb containers were f i l l e d with f i l t e r e d and ultraviolet-treated 30 (+ 1 O/oo) sea water maintained a t 12c O/OO (2lc). The l i g h t chamber was v e r t i c a l , plexiglass, 150 cni in height by 15 cm i n diameter and closed a t both ends. An adjustable incandescent microscope 1i g h t was placed a t the top of the chamber. Water and zoeae were introduced through a 2.5 cm hole a t the top of the chamber. Zoeae were exposed t o one of s i x l i g h t intensities (0, 100, 500, 1000, 2000, and 8000 f t . c. ) . The 8000 f t . c .

In darkness, the location of larvae was detemiined by u s i n g a flashlight covered with red cell ophane. Newly hatched (1ess-than-one-day-old) f i rst stage zoeae, three-day-01 d f i r s t zoeae, and seventeen-day-01 d t k i rd zoeae were used. Newly hatched zoeae, because of small s i z e and transparent appearance, were introduced one per t r i a l into the F i g u r e 1. L i g h t Chamber (background) and Current Cyl i n d e r ( f o r e g r o u n d ) Used t o Measure Swimming Behavior o f P. jordani Zoeae l i g h t chamber. Four t r i a l s were conducted a t each 1ight intensity with a total sample s i z e of 24. Older f i r s t stage zoeae an3 third stage zoeae, because of greater v i s i b i l i t y , were placed into the chamber a t f i v e per t r i 3 l . One t r i a l was conducted a t each l i g h t intensity, w i t h a sample s i z e of 30 for each o f these l a t t e r two zoeal types. 12 minutes. Location of larvae i n the chamber was recorded a t 5, 7, 10, and Water was changed a f t e r each t e s t t o avoid a temperature increase. The cylinder used t o ascertain response of zoeae t o a water current was vertical, plexiglass, and 110 cm i n height by 10 cm i n diameter, with a base-mounted pump connected to a sea%ater source. A vertical upward ~ o v i n gcurrent was used because Gaumer (1969) reported Oungeness crab placed in P horizontal current container d i d not stay i n the current, b u t instead s e t t l e d t o the bottom and remained there, possibly because of gravity. Flow was regulated by a rheostat. F i r s t and third stage zoeae were introduced (one p r t r i a l , w i t h f i v e t r i a l s a t each zoeal stage) througii a 1.5 crn hole into the middle of the chamber, half f i l l e d with water. The opening was then closed, the cylinder slowly f i l l e d w i t h water and velocity adjusted t o a flow of 33.0 mm/sec (0.7 knots). About 15 seconds were a1 lowed f o r acclimation of zoeae t o the upward current i n the cylinder. Position of the larvae was then recorded a t 'the end of eitller one and two rilinutes or when they l e f t the chamber. RESULTS Larvae Culture Techniques E f f e c t s o f L i g h t on Survival.

First stage zoeae had a mean positive movement of 4 . 2 mm/sec. in the water current used. Third stage zoeae were swis~ti~ing against the current a t a mean velocity of 15.1 nnn/sec. A1 1 zoeae oriented t)~eri~seives !with carapace down and telson up and actively swain against the current. DISCUSS ION Results of t h i s study provided no conclusive evidence survival of cultured newly-hatched larvae differed in dark versus clear flasks. This suggests t h a t rearing newly-iiatciied P. jordani in dark containers would not reduce mortal i t y of f i r s t stage zoeae cultured i n transparent vessels. However, the 1i ght-survival experlment was terminated a f t e r only 13 days, due t o other commitments. Reeve (1969) and Gaunler (1973) found f o r otiier decapod 1arvae a significantly higher mortal it y i n dark containers, attributed t o probable increased d i f f i c u l t i e s of capturing food. Tile higher r a t e of survival of feeding P. jordani zoeae in aerated conditions showed future 1arvae reari ny in 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks si~ouldinclude mi ld aeration. This agrees with Modin and Cox (1967), who briefly mention no success i n culturing P. jordani zoeae in non-ci rculatiny water. Results of the aeration experiment on non-fed zoeae suggest laboratory-reared larvae have a rnaximum of 16 days a f t e r ?mergence t o find food before starving t o death. The 7-to-10 day laboratory hatching period of P. jordani larvae i s identical t o what Price and Chew (1972) reported f o r laboratory held P. pktyceros. Also, the 4 day peak of larval emergence from each female i s the same Kurata (1955) found f o r P. kessZeri. A large tiurllber of eggs on female I I I (Table 1) hatched on the f i r s t day of the study, suggesting some of i t s eggs had hatched previously t o collection. Hatching of P. jordcmi in t h i s study primarily occurred from 2000 t o 2400 hours, w i tti 77.4% of t h i s fronl 2200 t o 2400. Peter Rothlisberg (Oregon State University, Department of Zoology, pers. comw. ) in uncontrolled 1ighting conditions, observed P. jordani zoeae primarily hatching between 2000 and 0200 hours. Night time pref- erence for emergence has also been reported for other Pacific ocean panalid shrimp (Berkeley 1930, Kurata 1955, Price and Chew 1972). Fiesul t s o f t h i s l a r v a l emergence study suggests t h a t i n nature P. jordani zoeae are hatched a t n i g h t .

Lack o f l a r v a e r e a c t i a n t o varying 1i y h t i n t e n s i t i e s i n the l i g h t chamber suygest t h a t behaviour patterns were caused by some other s t i m u l i . Gaumer (1973) usins Dungeness crab zoeae i n the s a w l iy h t chamber, found s i m i l a r differences between zoeal stages. However, u n l i k e t n i s study, he and Cook (1968) found d i f f e r e n t responses based on l i g h t condition, i.e., a p o s i t i v e p h o t o t a c t i c response t o low l i g h t and a negative response t o high l i g h t . The mean srqimn~ingv e l o c i t i e s found f o r f i r s t stage zoeae (4.2 mn~/sec) and t h i r d stage zoeae (15.1 mm/sec), though measured i n the abnormal c o n d i t i o n o f an upward moving current, are probably about what would be t h e i r maximum v e l o c i t i e s i n nature, as the larvae a c t i v e l y swan1 i n t o t h e current. Gaumer (1973), using t h e same chamber and c u r r e n t v e l o c i t y , reported f i r s t stags Dungeness crab zoeae swam a t 5.8 mm/sec.
