DNA barcoding allows identification of undescribed crab megalopas from the open sea [PDF]
Megalopas of 15 brachyuran crab species collected in the open sea plankton, and unknown until now, were identified using DNA barcodes (COI and 16S rRNA). Specimens belonging to the families Portunidae, Pseudorhombilidae and Xanthidae (Crustacea, Decapoda,

Evaluation of different induced molting methods in Callinectes ornatus (Crustacea, Decapoda, Portunidae) as a tool for the commercial production of soft-shell crabs [PDF]
We investigated the effects of eyestalk ablation and cheliped autotomy in inducing molting in Callinectes ornatus. The specimens in intermolt stage were divided into two size classes: 1 (30-50 mm) and 2 (51-70 mm) and were further divided into four ...
