Larval development in brachyuran crabs includes a number of zoeal stages followed by a
single megalopal stage. Zoeae and megalopae are relatively strong swimmers, and …

Abstract The Dungeness crab, Cancer magister, is a commercially important crustacean that
ranges from the Pribilof Islands, Alaska, to Santa Barbara, California. Mating occurs between …

Th~ rty years ago Thorson (1966 Neth J Sea Res 3 267-293) calculated that juvenile
mortallty in manne bivalves could exceed 98 6% Subsequently juvenile mortality rates have …

Newly settled invertebrates usually are subject to high rates of mortality (Type 111
survivorship). Therefore, knowledge of early post-settlement events is critical in determ …

The seas around Alaska support (or have supported) some of the most commercially
significant crustacean stocks in the world, spread over an overwhelming array of extensive …

Settlement and early juvenile stages are considered a bottleneck in the life history of many
epibenthic organisms because of high predation mortality. Nursery habitats may play an …

The recent introduction of the European green crab Carcinus maenas and Asian shore crab
Hemigrapsus sanguineus to the west and east coasts of North America, respectively …

We evaluate the potential competitive and predatory impacts of nonindigenous European
green crab Carcinusmaenas on native Dungeness crab Cancermagister in the northeast …

Abundance of early juvenile Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) is dramatically higher in
intertidal shell habitats compared to mud habitats in several coastal estuaries of the Pacific …

Density-dependent cannibalism, either on early benthic instars or on late prerecruits, has
been hypothesized to regulate recruitment in the snow crab Chionoecetes opilio (O …
