Recruitment and growth patterns of the portunid crab Charybdis bimaculata in Kagoshima Bay, southern Japan
We studied the recruitment and growth patterns of the portunid crab Charybdis bimaculata in deep water for the first time. The study area, Kagoshima...

Effects of ocean acidification on young-of-the-year golden king crab (Lithodes aequispinus) survival and growth
Ocean acidification, a reduction in the pH of the oceans caused by increasing CO 2 , can have negative physiological effects on marine species. In this...

Growth rates and age at maturity of Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtles estimated from a single-population foraging ground
In sea turtles, somatic growth rates and Age at Sexual Maturity (ASM) are important parameters for investigating population dynamics. Moreover, ASM...
