The life cycle of Callianassa californiensis Dana, 1854, was
studied in the tidal estuary, Yaquina Bay, Oregon. At this latitude
it is largely restricted to intertidal sandy mudflats under predominately
marine influence. Salinity and temperature appear to determine
its distribution to a greater extent than does sediment type.

The ability of Cumella vulgaris to avoid burial under different
rates of sedimentation and to recover from burial once buried was
studied. Sedimentation rates higher than 0. 25 cm/mm are
necessary to bury 50% of C. vulgaris with the deposition of 4 cm of
sediment.
Cumella vulgaris can swim several...
The present work is an attempt to correlate information collected in the northern part of Chile with the anchoveta distribution and its fluctuation. This information was collected over a three year period (November 1967 to November 1970) by the Instituto de Fomento Pesquero, Chile (IFOP). The first and second part...
