| | Crab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The form of the abdomen usually reveals the sex of the crab - males have a narrow abdomen, while females have a much wider abdomen, under which they carry their eggs. | | | In females, however, the abdomen is considerably wider, and retains a greater number of pleopods. | | | The abdomen, which is held recurved under the thorax, is narrow in males. |

| | Crab (animal), common name for any of a group of crustaceans characterized by a reduced abdomen and an enlarged and broadened anterior portion of the body. | | | Instead, the abdomen of the true crabs serves, in the female, as a brood pouch for the eggs. | | | At the present time, because of overfishing, pollution, and the cost of energy, the prospect is small for increasing the yield of these types of fisheries. |

| | Some crabs live among corals, and one species at least gives rise to hollow swellings on the branches of a coral like the galls which are formed on plants by certain insects. | | | The Brachyura, or true crabs, are distinguished from the longtailed lobsters and shrimps which form the order Macrura, by the fact that the abdomen or tail is of small size and is carried folded up under the body. | | | The abdomen is usually narrow and triangular in the males, but in the females it is broad and rounded and bears appendages to which the eggs are attached after spawning (fig. |

| | THE LOUISIANA BLUE CRAB RESOURCE |
| | Population abundance of blue crabs appears to be cyclic, with peaks usually followed by years of declining abundance and then an abrupt increase to another peak. | | | The blue crab is capable of sustaining high levels of fishing effort and harvest because it is a short-lived, rapidly growing, highly fecund species with high natural mortality rates (Van Engel, 1987). | | | The blue crab is considered a "r-selected species" (Van Engel, 1987), with certain life history traits (ie., high fecundity, high interannual variation in abundance, rapid growth, early reproductive maturity, high natural mortality rates, and relatively short life span) suggestive of a density-independent spawner-recruit relationship. |

| | Snow crabs live most commonly on muddy or sand-mud bottoms at temperatures ranging from -0.5 to 4.5°C. In the Gulf of St. Lawrence, they are usually found at depths of 70 to 140 m, while in Cape Breton the depth varies from 45 to 245 m, and 170 to 380 m off Newfoundland. | | | Crab traps are frames with iron rods and are covered with polyethylene rope webbing, and may be either cone-shaped or rectangular. | | | In some areas, there are indications that snow crabs move from gravel bottom to mud bottom, usually in deeper waters, as they reach maturity. |
