The physiological condition and fecundity of an organism is frequently controlled by diet. As changes in environmental conditions often cause organisms to alter their foraging behavior, a comprehensive understanding of how diet influences the fitness of an individual is central to predicting the effect of environmental change on population dynamics. We experimentally manipulated the diet of the...

Larval and post-larval crab distribution was surveyed in three different habitats in Kachemak Bay, Alaska to determine temporal and spatial variability. Distribution varied temporally and spatially from June 2005 to September 2006. Nine sites of varying habitat complexity were surveyed monthly using scuba surveys and light traps to measure habitat variables and quantify crab zoeae and megalopae...

Larval dispersal and connectivity have important implications for fisheries management, especially species with life cycles influenced by ocean boundary currents. Giant Mud Crab (Scylla serrata) Blue Swimmer (Portunus armatus) are two estuarine portunid crabs (Family: Portunidae) that support significant commercial recreational harvest in eastern Australia. migrate to coastal waters spawn, whil...
