wurdemanni, a peppermint shrimp native to the East and Gulf Coasts from Long Island Sound to Texas (Williams 1984 Rhyne and Lin 2006), at many locations (Aguilar et al. In 2013 to 2018, 139 specimens identified as the Indo-Pacific Lysmata vittata were collected in Chesapeake Bay and in adjacent Atlantic waters, including the mouth of the Bay to south of Tangier Island, the lower reaches of the James and York estuaries, and Burtons Bay, a nearby Atlantic embayment. It was collected at temperatures of 4.5 to 26.5 ✬ and salinities of 18.5 to 34.5 PSU. North American Invasion History: Invasion History on the East Coast: rauli in Central/South America) is ballast water, although several species marketed as Lysmata vittata are sold in the aquarium trade. The likeliest introduction vector for Lysmata vittata sensu stricto in the United States and New Zealand (as well as L. Lysmata vittata has also be found in New Zealand near port of Auckland (Ahyong 2010). vittata have also been collected from Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, Hudson River, New York, and Long Island Sound, near Norwalk, Connecticut (Robert Aguilar, personal communication James Carlton, personal communication 2022). wurdemanni at many locations (Aguilar et al. Habitats include shallow oyster flats (~1 m) to deeper muddy channels (19.5 m). It was collected at temperatures of 4.5 to 26.5 ✬ and salinities of 18.5 to 34.5 PSU. In Chesapeake Bay and adjacent Atlantic waters, Lysmata vittata has been collected from the mouth to south of Tangier Island, the lower reaches of the James and York estuaries, and also in Burtons Bay, a nearby Atlantic embayment. vittata sensu stricto were highly similar and distinct from other specimens from Hong Kong, Thailand, Panama, and Brazil ( L. Specifically, specimens from the Chesapeake region, Hong Kong, Taiwan and New Zealand, representing L. ![]() rauli (an undescribed sister species of L. However, a careful morphological and genetic analysis indicated many records of ' Lysmata vittata' refer to other species, either L. 2020) New Zealand (Ahyong 2010) the Mediterranean Sea (Abdelsalam 2008) and the eastern United States (Aguilar et al. Lysmata vittata sensu lato is considered introduced in many parts of the world, including Brazil (Alves et al. 2012b) to the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, to eastern South Africa, as well as Singapore (Anker and DeGrave 2016) Australia (Barton et al. 2020) and Amboina, Indonesia, and New Guinea (Kubo 1951 Bruce 1976 Holthuis 1978 cited by WoRMS Editorial Board (2022) US National Museum of Natural History 2022). However, a recent integrative taxonomic analysis found that Lysmata vittata is a complex of multiple species with the native range of Lysmata vittata sensu stricto likely spanning the temperate/subtropical Indo-West Pacific from China to southern Russia (Aguilar et al. Lysmata vittata was described from Hong Kong by William Stimpson in 1860, and has been reported from Pacific Russia (Korn 2012 Marin et al. Peppermint shrimps of the genus Lysmata are part of a complex of ~48 species, widely distributed in tropical and subtropical marine waters. Note: Robert Aguilar made substantial contributions to this species' entry.įirst Non-native North American Tidal Record: 2013 First Non-native West Coast Tidal Record: First Non-native East/Gulf Coast Tidal Record: 2013 However, they may be distributional overlap within the complex in some areas, like Hong Kong. vittata' reported from Australia, Thailand, Egypt, Brazil, and Caribbean Panama refer to other, closely related species in the ' L. The likeliest vector is ballast water, although several species marketed as Lysmata vittata are sold in the aquarium trade. It has also been collected in Great Egg Harbor, New Jersey, Hudson River, New York, and Long Island Sound, Connecticut. It has been genetically and morphologically identified in lower Chesapeake Bay, where it was collected from 2013 to 2018, at temperatures of 4.5 to 26.5 ✬ and salinities of 18.5 to 34.5 PSU. ![]() vittata sensu stricto likely spans the temperate/subtropical Indo-West Pacific from China to southern Russia. However, a recent integrative taxonomic analysis found that Lysmata vittata is a complex of multiple species and the native range of L. ![]() Historically Lysmata vittata has been reported as ranging widely in the Indo-West Pacific, from the Red Sea south to South Africa to Australia and extending into the temperate Northwest Pacific. Lysmata vittata is only an occasional cleaner and is more of an omnivore. The peppermint shrimp Lysmata vittata (East Asian Lined Shrimp Red-Striped Shrimp) is part of a widely distributed complex of brightly colored shrimps, some of which regularly display cleaning behavior, removing ectoparasites from fishes.
