Ebonyi River basin of south east Nigeria is home to the freshwater crab Potamon ebonyicum, which are consumed indiscriminately by inhabitants and tourists. Bulk of the crab meat is obtained by crabbing. A preliminary survey of pathogenic bacteria associated with vulnerable morphological part of the crab species was carried out in the basin. Bacteria were isolated from abdominal flaps of the mal...

a r t i c l e i n f o Temperature changes during ENSO cause mass mortalities of adult Cancer setosus, but the effects on early life stages are unknown. The influence of temperature on survival, development and biochemical composition was studied in larvae of the hairy crab, C. setosus, from a population off the northern Chilean coast. In rearing experiments conducted at four different temperatu...

Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management aims to broaden the set of factors included in assessments and management decision making but progress with implementation remains limited. We developed a framework that examines consequences temporal changes temperature ocean pH on yield profit multiple interacting stocks including eastern Bering Sea (EBS) snow, southern Tanner, red king crab. Our analyses ...

Horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) are bled by biomedical companies for the extraction of Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL), a clotting agent used in the detection of endotoxins. In 1998, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Conunission mandated tliat all biomedical companies collecting horseshoe crabs for the production of LAL study tl1e horseshoe crab mortality rates resulting from the compan...

The Archipelagic Fishing Port of Karangantu located in Banten Bay is one the blue swimming crab fishing centers Java Sea. Covid-19 pandemic had significant effect on fisheries Karangantu, especially increasing operational cost, decreasing price, and limited acces for market distribution. This study aims to analyse feasibility activity using bottom gillnet after pandemic. research was conducted ...

Sustainable fisheries management requires accurate stock assessment and an understanding of how targeted populations vary over space time respond to external stressors. Commercial fishery catch rate data (i.e. per unit effort; CPUE) are widely used assess performance can provide a measure abundance. However, changes in environmental conditions influence the two determinants CPUE, i.e. catchabil...

Abstract We present the distribution of parthenopid crab species Distolambrus maltzami from North-east Atlantic with a first record UK seas. The D. in Celtic-Biscay area eastern Atlantic, is both described based on recent records survey data and estimated modelling its environmental niche. predicted probability occurrence greatest areas fluctuating tidal currents water masses that are rich chlo...

Parasitology textbooks have long reported that grapsid crabs in the genus Eriocheir, commonly known as mitten crabs, are important second intermediate hosts of the Oriental Lung Fluke, Paragonimtrs westermani, along with several other crab'and crayfish species in Asia (e.g., Hegner and others 1929; Chandler and Read 196 1 ; Muller 1975; Cheng 1986; Smyth 1994). Epidemiologic reviews have specif...
