Life-History Aspects of Stone Crabs (Genus Menippe): Size at Maturity, Growth, and Age
2008
Journal of Crustacean Biology
A B S T R A C T Knowing important aspects of life history, such as size at sexual maturity, growth rate, and size at age, is critical for understanding species' population dynamics. For harvested organisms, these life-history characteristics are important in assessing the efficacy of fishery regulations. We used a 15-year database on stone crabs (genus Menippe) inhabiting west-central Florida waters to estimate these lifehistory aspects. Transition points in crusher-claw propodus length (PL):CW
