Substrate selection by blue crab Callinectes sapidus megalopae and first juvenile instars [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2003 Various marine and estuarine species utilize chemical cues during settlement. We inves- tigated responses by megalopae and first juvenile (J1) blue crabs to common Chesapeake Bay sub- strates in mesocosm and field experiments. Mesocosm trials examined responses of megalopae or J1 crabs to sand, marsh mud, live oysters Crassostrea virginica, sun ...

Effects of salinity and temperature on the larval development of a sesarmid crab Neosarmatium trispinosum Davie (Crustacea: Brachyura: Sesarmidae) from mangrove swamp in Okinawa Island, Japan [PDF]
, 2003 The larval development of the semiterrestrial sesarmid mangrove crab Neosarmarium trispinosum was studied under laboratory conditions at salinities 0-35%o and constant temperatures of 20-30°C.

Field Assessment of the Predation Risk - Food Availability Trade-Off in Crab Megalopae Settlement
PLoS ONE, 2014 Settlement is a key process for meroplanktonic organisms as it determines distribution of adult populations. Starvation and predation are two of the main mortality causes during this period; therefore, settlement tends to be optimized in microhabitats with high food availability and low predator density.

Settlement of blue crab Callinectes sapidus megalopae in a North Carolina estuary [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2004 Nightly settlement of blue crab Callinectes sapidus megalopae on passive collectors was monitored from September to November over 7 yr at a single location in the Newport River estuary (North Carolina, USA). The total number of megalopae settling varied yearly from 1869 to 12 007.

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Crab stocking densities in brackish water ponds can influence crab growth rate, survival, and production volume. This study aimed to determine the optimum grow‐out stocking density for Scylla tranquebarica crablets reared in lined ponds to supply the soft‐shell crab industry. Three stocking density treatments (1, 4, and 8 ind./m2) were applied

Aquatic Biology, 2014 The spider crab Maja squinado is restricted to the Mediterranean Sea, and as captures of this species became very rare in the last decades, it is a protected species.

Key to marine arthropod larvae [PDF]
, 2012 The scope of this key is restricted to the larvae of marine arthropods. The key is based solely on their morphology, patterns of body segmentation, numbers of appendages, and mode of locomotion.

Physiological capacity of Cancer setosus larvae — Adaptation to El Niño Southern Oscillation conditions [PDF]
, 2012 Temperature changes during ENSO challenge the fauna of the Pacific South American coast. In many ectotherm benthic species pelagic larvae are the most important dispersal stage, which may, however, be particularly vulnerable to such environmental stress.

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 69, Issue 11, Page 2748-2759, November 2024.Abstract Many marine benthic invertebrates have a pelagic life stage, during which larvae need to accumulate enough reserves to complete metamorphosis to a settled benthic juvenile. Currently, very little is known about how ocean conditions affect quality of the larvae.

Effect of Fresh Feed and Density to the Survival Rate of Juvenile Mangrove Crab Scylla Serrata [PDF]
, 2001 The problem of seed production of Scylla serrata juvenile is the massive mortality due to cannibalism among them that normally happen when the animal undergone the molting. The density of juvenile and the feed play important role to avoid the cannibalism.
