Abstract: The mangrove crab (Ucides cordatus) is a valuable fishery resource, overfished along the Brazilian coast. This study aimed to obtain bioecological data on this crab along the coast of the State of Amapá. Six bimonthly samplings were conducted between December 2008 and January 2010. Transects were used to estimate the density (burrows m -2 ) and population abundance (individuals m -2 ). All the animals were subjected to biometrics, with females being classified according to their stage of gonadal maturation. Th… Show more

“…The mean size of U. cordatus recorded at the Iguape mangroves (49.6 ± 10.5 mm) was very similar to those recorded by other authors in the southeast Brazilian coast (45.9 mm -Conti and Nalesso 2010; and 48.9 mm -Hattori 2006). Nevertheless, this mean size was lower than those recorded by other authors in the north and northeast Brazilian coast (50.5 to 64.4 mm: Alcântara-Filho 1978, Alves and Nishida 2004, Amaral et al 2014, Diele et al 2005, Piou et al 2009, as well as extremely lower than in the southeast coast (58.7 to 68 mm: Wunderlich et al 2008). In the Iguape mangroves a dominance of small crabs (30 to 60 mm), mainly from the class of 40 to 50 mm, was found.…”

“…This habitat loss directly impacts the mangrove macrofauna, especially U. cordatus which shows biologic limitations as slow growth and high fishery exploitation. This scenario has drawn the attention of researchers that previously studied the abundance and density of this crab species in Brazilian mangroves of the northnortheastern (Alcântara-Filho 1978, Amaral et al 2014, Costa 1979 and southsoutheast (Blankensteyn et al 1997, Sandrini-Neto and Lana 2012, Wunderlich et al 2008, as well as national environmental agencies responsible for the conservation and sustainable fishery of this species (e.g., Dias-Neto 2011).…”

“…The Amazon River might act as a barrier to the geographical distribution of marine organisms (Greenfield 1989;Floeter and Gasparini 2000;Luiz et al 2012), and hence, it greatly influences the structural and functional ecosystem patterns of these mangroves (Amaral et al 2014). A high abundance of benthic organisms can be found in these mangroves, including molluscs, which can inhabit a variety of environments and are one of the largest and richest invertebrate phyla in number of species (Ardila et al 2002).…”

“…Alguns estudos têm sido realizados com o intuito de melhor conhecer a macrofauna bêntica desses manguezais, no entanto o conhecimento acerca da composição, estrutura e o funcionamento de algumas comunidades bênticas ainda não é satisfatório (Silva & Almeida, 2002;Amaral & Jablonski, 2005;Diele et al, 2005Diele et al, , 2010Rosa Filho et al, 2006;Nordhaus et al, 2009;Ribeiro & Almeida, 2014;Amaral et al, 2014).…”
