The nemerteans of the genus Carcinonemertes live in association with decapod crustaceans. Juveniles of Carcinonemertes carcinophila imminuta Humes, 1942 are found in the gills of their hosts. A total of 281 specimens (52 males and 229... more
Experiments were completed in SE Virginia during June–July 2014 and 2015 to examine the responses of blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) and diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin) to commercial-style crab pots modified in visual and... more
Invasive species may exhibit dynamics different to those exhibited in their native range owing to the lack of native competitors and predators. The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) is native to the western Atlantic, but is an invasive... more
Juvenile blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, extensively utilize oligohaline and freshwater regions of the estuary. With a presumptively larger surface-area-to-body weight ratio, juvenile crabs could experience osmo- and ionoregulatory costs... more

Wire-mesh crab traps capture both legal- and sublegal-sized blue crabs Callinectes sapidus. The likelihood of injury and subsequent mortality of small crabs when confined with larger conspecifics increases as the time of confinement... more
The proximate composition and element contents of claw muscle tissue of Atlantic blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) were compared with the native warty crab (Eriphia verrucosa) and the commercially edible crab (Cancer pagurus). The scope of... more
Larvae of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus and fiddler crab Uca pugilator are exported from estuaries and develop on the continental shelf. Previous studies have shown that the zoea-1 larvae of some crab species use selective... more
... Por ello, la jaiba azul C. sapidus utiliza tanto el ecosistema oceánico como el estuarino durante su ciclo de vida. ... los consumidores primarios y alimentación para los consumidores bénticos, algunos de ellos de importancia... more
The prophenoloxidase activating system is an important innate immune response against microbial infections in invertebrates. The major enzyme, phenoloxidase, is synthesized as an inactive precursor and its activation to an active enzyme... more
Blue crabs from a contaminated estuary (Hackensack Meadowlands-HM) and a cleaner reference site (Tuckerton-TK) were analyzed for Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn in muscle and hepatopancreas. Crabs from each site were taken into the laboratory and... more
