Transport of Dungeness crab Cancer magister megalopae into Glacier Bay, Alaska [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2008 Larval behaviors and physical forcing mechanisms contributing to the transport of Dun- geness crab Cancer magister megalopae into inlets have been determined for many areas along the coastlines of Washington, Oregon and California, but have never been examined in Alaska. In 2004 and 2005, we observed transport of C.

Tolerance of Hyas araneus zoea I larvae to elevated seawater PCO2 despite elevated metabolic costs [PDF]
, 2012 Early life stages of marine crustaceans respond sensitively to elevated seawater P CO 2 . However, the underlying physiological mechanisms have not been studied well. We therefore investigated the effects of elevated seawater P CO 2 on oxygen consumption,

Behavioural Response Thresholds in New Zealand Crab Megalopae to Ambient Underwater Sound
PLoS ONE, 2011 A small number of studies have demonstrated that settlement stage decapod crustaceans are able to detect and exhibit swimming, settlement and metamorphosis responses to ambient underwater sound emanating from coastal reefs. However, the intensity of the acoustic cue required to initiate the settlement and metamorphosis response, and therefore the ...

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

The Role of Adult Fiddler Crab Environmental Acoustic Cues and Chemical Cues in Stimulating Molting of Field-Caught Megalopae [PDF]
, 2017 In mid-Atlantic estuaries, three fiddler crab species, Uca pugilator, Uca pugnax and Uca minax co-occur, with their adults occupying different habitat types distinguished by salinity and sediment size.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.ABSTRACT Gazami (Portunus trituberculatus) is a key species in stock enhancement programs in Japan. Recently, a severe decline in the Western Japan population has been observed, emphasizing the need for improvements in these programs. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of temperature on Gazami crablets under hatchery conditions, focusing on ...
