Ghost fishing activity in derelict blue crab traps in Louisiana

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2014
Derelict crab traps impact the coastal ecosystem through continued catch of target species and species of conservation, economic, or recreational importance. During volunteer-supported crab trap cleanups in 2012 and 2013, we quantified ghost fishing activity in derelict crab traps in coastal Louisiana through a citizen scientist program.

Apparent Predation on the Mole Crab Emerita talpoida (Say) by the Ghost Crab Ocypode quadrata (Fabricius)

Chesapeake Science, 1976
The ghost crab Ocypode quadrata (Fabricius) is both a scavenger and an active predator which can be seen prowling the sea wrack left by the tide, especially at night. Williams (1965) stated that the crabs often will feed upon beached fish and I have seen them consuming portions of dead bluefish and striped mullet.

Notes on the Behavior of the Ghost Crab

The American Naturalist, 1946
PROTECTIVE coloration and habits have interested most biologists. Few of the very many articles on these topics mention a remarkable example among the crustaceans. Certainly the ghost crab is large enough to be noticed easily, and is common from Atlantic City to Rio de Janeiro, on beaches where people vacation every summer and should have time for ...

Acoustic Interneurons of Fiddler and Ghost Crabs

Physiological Zoology, 1976
The properties of acoustic interneurons in fiddler (Uca pugilator and U. minax) and ghost (Ocypode quadrata) crabs are described, as revealed by tests with pure tones. Three types of interneurons were present in all species: tonic, which fired for the duration of the stimulus; phasic, which fired briefly at the onset of stimulation; and inhibited, in ...

Mirror self-recognition in ghost crab (Ocypode quadrata)

Animal Cognition, 2023
Mirror self-recognition has been examined primarily in vertebrate species, largely through the use of a mirror mark test. Recently, however, there has been growing interest in the notion that all animals likely need some form of self-representation to successfully interact with their environment (Kohda et al.

The Ecology of Ghost Crabs

2014
Ever-increasing interest in oceanography and marine biology and their relevance to global environmental issues creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarising the results of recent research. Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review has catered to this demand since its founding by the late Harold Barnes fifty years ago.
