Effect of data weighting on the mature male biomass estimate for Alaskan golden king crab

Fisheries Research, 2017
Abstract Size-structured integrated population dynamics models are used to estimate the time-trajectories of mature male biomass (MMB) of Alaska crab stocks for stock status determination and harvest allocation. Lack of annual biomass surveys makes it difficult to assess the status and biomass of the Aleutian Islands golden king crab ( Lithodes ...

Estimation of size–transition matrices with and without molt probability for Alaska golden king crab using tag–recapture data

Fisheries Research, 2016
Size-structured population dynamics models are used for stock assessments of hard to age invertebrate species, such as crabs, and size–transition matrices play an important role in modeling growth in those models. Crabs grow by molting and then incrementing in size.

Reproductive Ecology of Female Golden Crabs, Geryon fenneri Manning and Holthuis, from Southeastern Florida

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1988
ABSTRACT Examination of deep-water female golden crabs collected monthly from the southeastern coast of Florida indicates an annual reproductive cycle with a single batch of eggs produced each year. Oviposition begins in late August and continues through October with eggs retained for approximately 6 months until hatching during late February and March.

Effects of the Briarosaccus callosus Infestation on the Commercial Golden King Crab Lithodes aequispina

Journal of Parasitology, 2005
Commercial crab populations off the Kamchatka coasts are infested to a considerable degree by the rhizocephalan parasite Briarosaccus callosus: of 769 Lithodes aequispina males examined, 43 (5.7%) were parasitized. Infestations result in the feminization of the crabs, a significant decrease in the cheliped length, and a significant decrease in the ...

Parasitism of the Golden King Crab, Lithodesaequispinus Benedict, 1895 (Decapoda, Anomura, Lithodidae) By a Liparid Fish

Crustaceana, 1993
Fish eggs and larvae of the genus Careproctus were found in the gill chamber of ovigerous golden king crabs Lithodes aequispinus. The host crab died subsequent to hatching of the fish eggs in one incident, but not in another. Because of gill damage caused by the egg mass, the fish-crab relationship is properly termed parasitism rather than commensalism.

Ovary of the golden crab, Chaceon fenneri: I. Post‐spawning and oosorption

Journal of Morphology, 1992
AbstractOosorption has been considered an important strategy in many invertebrate species which occurs in response to behavioral, ecological, or physiological factors. In crustaceans, the early light microscopic studies of the ovary attributed a role in oosorption to follicle cells, hemocytes, or phagocytes.
