Brief Synopsis of Taxonomy
Alpheid shrimp and gobiid partnerships are widespread across
the tropics. Most of the work that has been done on these shrimp-goby
relationships has been done in the Red Sea (Luther, 1958; Magnus, 1967;
Karplus, 1981; Karplus et al., 1981; Polunin and Lubbock, 1977) and Japan
(Harada, 1969; Yanagisawa, 1978, 1982, 1984). There have also been a few
smaller studies on an Atlantic association (Karplus, 1992) and only one
on the Hawaiian association (Moehring, 1972).
