Reminescences

First record of Hippolyte prideauxiana Leach, 1817 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Caridea) in the Adriatic Sea

Marin KIRINČIĆ

Abstract

During the last ten years, several decapod species were recorded in the Adriatic Sea for the first time. Such a rapid increase in the number of recorded species of decapod crustaceans is the result of the increased number of carcinologists engaged in SCUBA diving. In 2002, during the routine Natural History Museum of Rijeka SCUBA fieldwork, the caridean shrimp, Hippolyte prideauxiana Leach, 1817, was collected at Kostrena near the city of Rijeka in the northern Adriatic. This record, the first for the Adriatic Sea, widens the previously known geographic distribution of this species.
