Palinurus (crustacean)
''Palinurus'' is a genus of spiny lobsters in the family Palinuridae, native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and western Indian Ocean. A 110-million-year-old fossil, recognisable as a member of the genus ''Palinurus'', was discovered in a quarry in El Espinal in Mexico's Chiapas state in 1995 and named ''P. palaciosi''.

Achelata
The Achelata is an infra-order of the decapod crustaceans, holding the spiny lobsters, slipper lobsters and their fossil relatives. Description The name "Achelata" derives from the fact that all the members of this group lack the chelae (claws) that are found on almost all other decapods (from the Ancient Greek , = "not", , = "claw"). They are further united by the great enlargement of the second antennae, by the special "phyllosoma" form of the larva, and by a number of other characters. Classification and fossil record The infraorder Achelata belongs to the group Reptantia, which consists of the walking/crawling decapods (lobsters and crabs). The cladogram below shows Achelata's placement within the larger order Decapoda, from analysis by Wolfe ''et al.'', 2019. Achelata contains the spiny lobsters (Palinuridae), the slipper lobsters (Scyllaridae) and the furry lobsters (Synaxidae, now usually included in Palinuridae), as well as two extinct families, Cancrinidae a ...

Palinurus Mauritanicus
''Palinurus mauritanicus'' (common name: ''pink spiny lobster'') is a species of spiny lobster. It is found in deep waters in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the western Mediterranean Sea. Description The pink spiny lobster differs from ''Palinurus elephas'', by its first pair of pereiopods (walking legs) that are as slender as its other pereiopods. The carapace shows two conspicuous, longitudinal rows of forward-directed spines. The peduncle, the base segment of the antenna, is particularly stout. The pink spiny lobster may attain an age of at least 21 years. Distribution and habitat It is distributed from south-western Ireland southwards throughout the western Mediterranean Sea (as far east as to Sicily, but not in the Adriatic Sea) and along the West African coast to Senegal. ''Palinurus mauritanicus'' and ''Palinurus elephas'', are the only species of the family Palinuridae that occur both in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is found on muddy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Palinurus Mauritanicus 7
Palinurus (''Palinūrus''), in Roman mythology and especially Virgil's ''Aeneid'', is the coxswain of Aeneas' ship. Later authors used him as a general type of navigator or guide. Palinurus is an example of human sacrifice; his life is the price for the Trojans landing in Italy. Palinurus in the ''Aeneid'' In Book 3, which tells of the Trojans' wanderings after The Fall of Troy, he is singled out as an experienced navigator. In Book 5, when the Trojans have left Carthage, he advises Aeneas to forestall sailing to Italy and to wait out a terrible storm on Sicily, where they hold the funeral games honoring Aeneas's father, Anchises. After they leave Sicily for Italy, Palinurus, at the helm of Aeneas's ship and leading the fleet, is singled out by Virgil in second person when it becomes clear that he is the one whom the gods will sacrifice to guarantee safe passage to Italy for the Trojans: ''unum pro multis dabitur caput'', "one single life shall be offered to save many."

Palinurus Gilchristi
''Palinurus gilchristi'', the southern spiny lobster, is a species of spiny lobster within the family Palinuridae. It is distributed in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean near the coasts of South Africa from Cape Province to Port Alfred, where it lives in rocky areas as shelter at depths of 55 to 360 meters. It has also been reported in Fort Dauphin, Madagascar, however this is likely a misidentification. Males can grow to lengths of 16 centimeters whereas females can grow up to 31 centimeters. Individuals live up to 10 to 12.5 years, however some may reach over 30 years. Conservation Between 1974 and 2004 the catch per unit effort of the species declined by 70%, and although there have been declines in the pass that suggest a ' Vulnerable' assessment, the species population has been increasing over the past 10 years. It is predicted that due to restrictions and management by fisheries the population of the species will increase and stabilise with no declines. For these reasons th ...

Palinurus Charlestoni
''Palinurus charlestoni'' is a species of spiny lobster which is endemic to the waters of Cape Verde. It grows to a total length of and can be distinguished from other Atlantic species in the genus by the pattern of horizontal bands on its legs. It was discovered by French fishermen in 1963, and has been the subject of small-scale fishery since. It is thought to be overexploited, and is listed as ''Near Threatened'' on the IUCN Red List. Description The total length of ''Palinurus charlestoni'' can reach , with the average size around . Like other spiny lobsters, it has five pairs of pereiopods (walking legs), but no chelae (claws). Forest & Postel (1964), p. 105. In life, ''P. charlestoni'' is red to violet, but quite variable in colour. The carapace is red with white spots, while the abdomen is red with sharp white stripes on either side of the midline. Forest & Postel (1964), p. 106.

Cape Argus
The ''Cape Argus'' is a daily newspaper co-founded in 1857 by Saul Solomon and published by Sekunjalo in Cape Town, South Africa. It is commonly referred to as ''The Argus''.

Its circulation for the first quarter of 2013 was 33 247. Jermaine Craig is the executive editor of the ''Cape Argus''. He replaced Gasant Abarder, who resigned in early 2013 to take up a post at Primedia in the Western Cape. History The ''Cape Argus'' was founded on 3 January 1857, by the partners Saul Solomon, journalist Richard William Murray ("Limner") and the MP Bryan Henry Darnell. However, political differences immediately surfaced between the partners. Sau ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Palinurus Barbarae
''Palinurus barbarae'' is a species of spiny lobster described in 2006, which was found by fishermen working the waters above the Walters Shoals, a series of submerged mountains south of Madagascar. The animal weighs and reaches up to long excluding the long antennae, and is similar to '' P. delagoae'', found off South Africa, from which it may be differentiated by a number of characters including the larger number of spines. There are fears that the species, which lives in an area outside any country's jurisdiction, may now be exploited, or that it has already been brought near to extinction by overfishing Overfishing is the removal of a species of fish (i.e. fishing) from a body of water at a rate greater than that the species can replenish its population naturally (i.e. the overexploitation of the fishery's existing fish stock), resulting in th ....
