Reproductive dynamics of a swimming crab (Monomia haanii) in the world’s crab basket

Fisheries Research, 2021
Abstract Red swimming crab Monomia haanii is an important export fishery in southern China. M. haanii is mainly sold as lump crabmeat, generating an annual trade of tens of millions of US dollars over the last decade. For such a commercially important crab species, little attention has been paid to the sustainable use of the stocks and there remains ...

Swimming of the pea crab (Pinnotheres pisum)

Animal Biology, 2014
Aquatic organisms have to deal with different hydrodynamic regimes, depending on their size and speed during locomotion. The pea crab swims by beating the third and fourth pereiopod on opposite sides as pairs. Using particle tracking velocimetry and high-speed video recording, we quantify the kinematics and vortices in the wake of the pea crab.

Motoneuronal commands during swimming behaviour in the shore crab

Brain Research, 1990
Neurograms of proximal leg motor nerves were obtained during swimming in the shore crab. Whereas excitor motoneurones fire in bursts, the common inhibitor motoneurone discharges tonically with simultaneous spikes in all the motor nerves. The average firing frequency of the common inhibitor increases as the period of the swimming cycle decreases ...

Why “swimming crabs” are able to swim – The importance of the axial skeleton: A comparison between the “swimming crab” Liocarcinus depurator and two other brachyuran crabs (Cancer pagurus, Carcinus maenas) using μCT and 3D-reconstruction

Arthropod Structure & Development, 2020
Most brachyuran crabs use their pereiopods as walking legs, but there are also a number of species, in which the last (5th) pair of pereiopods (P5) are specialized to permit a unique mode of swimming. One of these P5-swimming crabs is Liocarcinus depurator, commonly found on European shores.
