Dietary Cholesterol Requirements of Large Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii)
To investigate the dietary cholesterol requirements of large red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), crayfish (initial body weight: 13.49 ± 0.22 g) were hand‐fed six diets containing 2.47 (C0), 4.27 (C1), 6.80 (C2), 8.77 (C3), 11.74 (C4), and 14.24 (C5) g/kg cholesterol.

Turbine Sound May Influence the Metamorphosis Behaviour of Estuarine Crab Megalopae
It is now widely accepted that a shift towards renewable energy production is needed in order to avoid further anthropogenically induced climate change. The ocean provides a largely untapped source of renewable energy. As a result, harvesting electrical power from the wind and tides has sparked immense government and commercial interest but with ...

Macrogenetics Approach Reveals Spatial Trends and Drivers of Mitochondrial Genetic Diversity at Different Biological Organization Levels in Tropical Western Atlantic Decapods. [PDF]
There is a knowledge gap concerning the genetic diversity distribution across marine invertebrates, and whether the latitudinal genetic diversity gradient results from congruent intraspecific trends. Our results indicate higher genetic diversity in lower latitudes is correlated to productivity and oxygen levels, but does not represent the accumulation ...

Leg disposition in the brachyuran megalopa when swimming [PDF]
SummaryMany brachyuran megalopae swim with the legs disposed in a curious manner. The chelipeds and first two pairs of walking legs are folded tightly beneath the body, while the two posterior pairs are wrapped over the dorsum, the third pair being stretched out anteriorly, the dactylus, according to its length, touching or being looped round the eye ...

Induction of settlement in crab megalopae by ambient underwater reef sound [PDF]
The larvae of a number of crab species have been found to orientate and swim toward ambient underwater sound emanating from coastal settlement habitats. This current study examined whether ambient underwater sound also has the potential to trigger settlement responses in crab larvae.
