Mechanisms regulating estuarine ingress of blue crab Callinectes sapidus megalopae [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2009 Mechanisms of shoreward transport and estuarine ingress in blue crab Callinectes sapidus megalopae have been difficult to infer from time series of nightly settlement on passive hog's hair collectors. We attempted to investigate the hypothesis that separating mechanisms of shoreward transport and estuarine ingress might enable identification of ...

, 1983 Charybdis truncata reared in the laboratory passed through 6 zoeal stages in 20 days (at 26°C and in water of 35% salinity) before metamorphosis to the megalopa.

Planes on a Snake? On the Identities of Crab Larvae Rafting on Sea Snakes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We sequenced COI and 16S rRNA genes from 106 crab megalopae found rafting on the pelagic sea snake Hydrophis platurus to test whether they were the obligate rafting species Planes minutus. Instead, all larvae belonged to three inter‐ to supratidal grapsid crabs—Pachygrapsus socius, Goniopsis pulchra, and Grapsus grapsus—revealing no evidence of Planes.

Larvae and Megalopa of Argis dentata (Crustacea: Decapoda) from Ungava Bay
, 1965 Stage I and II larvae and the megalopa of Argis dentata Rathbun are described from plankton taken by the Calanus Expedition in Ungava Bay during July–August, 1947–1950.

Acta Amazonica, 2006 Previous study on the resistance of larvae of Sesarma curacaoense submitted to starvation has revealed a facultative lecithotrophy during zoeal stages, but megalopa and first juvenile stages are exclusively feeding stages. In the present study, the gross

Nauplius, 2021 Representatives of Hippoidea, often called sand crabs or mole crabs, are an ingroup of Anomala. These marine crustaceans inhabit the tropical and subtropical coasts of the world, yet some also appear in temperate climates.

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Squids are important components of marine ecosystems because of their role as both predator and prey. Across the Tasman Sea, Gould's arrow squid (Nototodarus gouldi) is a commercially targeted ommastrephid squid that supports an economically important fishery.

Scientia Marina, 2000 The complete larval development of the crab Cyrtograpsus affinis (Brachyura, Varunidae) was obtained by culture in the laboratory. Five zoeal stages, the megalopa and the first crab are described and illustrated. Larval development from hatching to first

Genes Versus Environment: Body Size Variation Among Recruitment Cohorts of Dungeness Crab
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding the drivers of phenotypic variation is key to disentangling the evolutionary and environmental forces that shape patterns of trait variation within and among populations. In Dungeness crab, settlement‐stage megalopae exhibit striking seasonal variation in body size, with early season cohorts consistently larger than later ones ...
