Relative growth of Acantholobulus schmitti (Rathbun, 1930) (Crustacea, Brachyura, Panopeidae) at Guaratuba Bay, southern Brazil

Abstract: A study on the relative growth of the crab Acantholobulus schmitti (Rathbun, 1930) (Decapoda, Brachyura, Panopeidae) was performed with allometric techniques. The species is associated with lanterns used for oyster farming at Guaratuba Bay, southern Brazil. Crabs were obtained from five lanterns from March through December 2009. The following morphological characteristics were measured: the carapace width (CW), the height and length of the major cheliped propodus (LPH and LPL), the width of the female abdomen … Show more

“…The absence of females in the late spring and summer indicates that reproduction probably does not occur in the warmer months of the year. Local climatic conditions can influence life cycle of crustaceans (Frigotto et al, 2013). Bueno and Shimizu (2008) performed an extensive revision of the factors responsible for the interspecific variation on the reproductive period of aeglids and suggest that the reproductive period tends to be concentrated in the colder months of the year at lower latitudes, as is the case in the present study.…”

“…Crustacean growth is discontinuous and different body parts of males and females often exhibit different growth rates. This phenomenon is commonly known as "relative growth" or "allometric growth" (Hartnoll 1978;Frigotto et al 2013). In particular, the changes in size of secondary sexual characters (e.g.…”
