The compensatory eyestalk movements of intact and statocystless mysid shrimps Praunus flexuosus have been measured under a variety of light conditions. The results indicate that the statocyst organs in the urppods are the major gravity receptors, and that they are both necessary and sufficient to produce sinusoidal compensatory eyestalk movements. The addition of visual cues (vertical light beam, optokinetic stimuli) modifies the eyestalk response to some extent, but does not alter its general form. When the statocysts are removed, however, light stimuli become important orientational cues, and the eyestalks perform a tracking response which is considered to be the experimental counterpart of the dorsal light reaction of the free-swimming animal.

Analysis of the compensatory eyestalk responses of mysid shrimps before and after the removal of one statocyst has revealed, in the light of statocyst anatomy, that the two statocysts co-operate in their action at all angles of body tilt. Many features of statocyst operation in mysids are shared by decapod crustaceans, but an important difference exists between the geometries of the two statocyst systems. The consequences of this difference highlight the structural constraints on systems of statolithic gravity receptors for which shear magnitude is the adequate stimulus.

Marine leeches are sanguivorous parasites either on sea turtles (family Ozobranchidae) or on elasmobranch and teleost fishes (family Piscicolidae), with the exception of Mysidobdella, which may feed on mysid shrimp. The marine leeches of Australia and New Zealand are poorly known, especially those on teleost fishes. Collections of marine leeches from all major museums in Australia and New Zealand were examined, as well as many specimens sent to the author. Ozobranchus branchiatus and O. margoi were found on sea turtles in Australia. Seven genera and 14 species of fish leeches were found in Australia; 6 genera and 10 species of fish leeches were found in New Zealand. Two genera (Pontobdella and Branchellion) and four species (P. leucothela, P. moorei, B. australis and B. plicobranchus) occur in both Australia and New Zealand. No genus is endemic to Australia, but four species are endemic based on current records (Austrobdella bilobata, Austrobdella translucens, Trachelobdella leptocephali and Pterobdella platycephalus). Two genera (Bdellamaris and Leporinabdella) and three species (B. manteri, B. eptatreti, and L. digglesi) are endemic to New Zealand based on current records. The marine leeches of Australia and New Zealand are a mix of endemic species, those of tropical or subtropical origin, and those of subantarctic origin.

Abstract Marsh creation receives worldwide attention in mitigating loss of coastal wetlands and in management retreat of estuaries. In the Westerschelde, the former Selena Polder, south from the marsh of Saeftinghe, developed into the Sieperda marsh after several dyke breaches. Soon after the tides regained access to the polder, a tidal creek was formed. After 10 years, a developing marsh system was found adjacent to a mature marsh system. This situation offered the opportunity to compare the utilization by nekton species of a natural mature marsh with a recently created developing marsh under similar circumstances. Between April and October 1999, both the mature Saeftinghe marsh and the developing Sieperda marsh were sampled every 6 weeks on 2 consecutive days. Each sampling occasion covered the whole tidal cycle. The most important environmental parameters (water height, temperature, salinity, turbidity and dissolved oxygen) were similar in both marsh creeks. A distinct difference in nekton community structure between the two marshes was observed. The total biomass and densities of nekton species were higher in Saeftinghe. In Saeftinghe, a density peak occurred in July and was mainly due to large numbers of the mysid, Neomysis integer. In Sieperda, maximum abundance of the mysid, Mesopodopsis slabberi, caused the peak density in September. This difference in species dominance was observed in all samples. Biomass peaked in July in the mature marsh and in October in the developing marsh. Mysid shrimp (N. integer) and fish (mainly Pomatoschistus microps) were the main contributors to the biomass Saeftinghe. Herring, sprat (Clupeidae) and shore crab (Carcinus maenas) were more important in Sieperda. For P. microps, distinct differences in length–frequency distributions were noted between the marshes. While creek morphology influences the abundance and species composition of visiting nekton, the age of a marsh and its maturity are believed to be the prime factors in determining the habitat function of creek systems of developing and mature marshes.
