Temperature-dependent growth of the blue crab (Callinectes Sapidus): a molt process approach
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2006Co-Authors: Bryce J. Brylawski, Thomas J. MillerAbstract:Crustaceans display discrete and biphasic growth as a result of the molting process, so the traditionally used von Bertalanffy growth model does not capture well the phenomena associated with molting-based growth. A molt-process model can predict crustacean growth, including the temperature dependence of intermolt period that can produce the extended overwintering phenomena during which growth ceases. This study parameterized a molt-process model for the blue crab (Callinectes Sapidus; Portunidae). Crab growth histories were observed for individual crabs held in field enclosures and temperature-controlled, recirculating tanks. A growth-based temperature of torpor (Tmin) of 10.8 °C was determined. A mean growth per molt of 119.5% increase in carapace width was observed. The average intermolt period observed was 536 ± 231 degree-days. The predictive ability of these growth parameter estimates was evaluated against growth observed in the field based on data on interannual changes in size frequencies of crabs...

a new record of Callinectes Sapidus rathbun 1896 crustacea decapoda brachyura from the cantabrian sea bay of biscay spain
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2006Co-Authors: J Cabal, J A Pismillan, J C ArronteprietoAbstract:A single immature female specimen of the blue crab, Callinectes Sapidus Rathbun, 1896 was collected on 22 September 2004 in a refrigeration pipe of the power station at Port of El Musel, Gijon, Northern Spain. This is the first record of this alien species from northern Spain.

width length weight relationships of the blue crab Callinectes Sapidus rathbun 1896 population living in beymelek lagoon lake
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, 2003Co-Authors: Hasan Hüseyin Atar, Selçuk SeçerAbstract:In this study, the width/length-weight relationships by sex, combined with the condition factors, of the blue crab (Callinectes Sapidus Rathbun 1896) population living in Beymelek Lagoon Lake (Antalya) were examined. A total of 1027 samples ranging from 5.1 to 18.1 cm in width and weighing between 8.92 and 448 g were collected and analyzed. The relationship between carapace width/carapace length and weight was W = 0.6804L 2.9364 with r 2 = 0.86 and W = 0.1907L 2.5656 with r 2 = 0.88 (where L = width or length of crab in mm and W = weight in g) and condition factors were 48.196 and 6.638 for all crabs.

Comparison of Three Different Traps for Catching Blue Crab (Callinectes Sapidus Rathbun 1896) in Beymelek Lagoon
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, 2002Co-Authors: Hasan Hüseyin AtarAbstract:In this study, the capture efficiencies and catch rates of three different traps were compared for the blue crab Callinectes Sapidus in Beymelek Lagoon, Antalya, Turkey. All gear was used simultaneously and in the same habitats. The mean catch per unit effort (CPUE) was determined to be significantly higher for hoop nets than for traps. Gear effectiveness was examined by comparing CPUE (CPUE as number of crab per trap per haul, and g per trap haul), mean weight of individual crabs, catch composition and width frequency distributions of the blue crab for each gear.
