  • Distributions, Relative Abundances and Reproductive Biology of the Deep-Water Crabs Hypothalassia Acerba and Chaceon Bicolor in Southwestern Australia
    Distributions, relative abundances and reproductive biology of the deep-water crabs Hypothalassia acerba and Chaceon bicolor in southwestern Australia Kimberly Dale Smith B.Sc. (Hons) This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Murdoch University, School of Biological Sciences. DECLARATION I certify that I am the author of this thesis, and that it has not previously been submitted for the award of a degree. Any assistance that I have received during my PhD candidature, including the writing of this thesis has been dutifully acknowledged. All sources of information have also been accurately acknowledged. __________________ Kimberly D. Smith 2 Abstract Three species of large crab are found in Western Australian waters, namely the champagne crab Hypothalassia acerba, the crystal crab Chaceon bicolor and the giant crab Pseudocarcinus gigas, all of which are fished commercially in these waters. This thesis reports the results of studies carried out on the biology of the first two species, for which there were previously very little information. The results increase our knowledge of the benthic fauna in deeper waters off the southwestern Australian coast and provide data that can be used by fisheries managers to develop plans for conserving the stocks of H. acerba and C. bicolor. The champagne crab Hypothalassia acerba is found southwards of Kalbarri at ~ 27°S, 114°E on the west coast and eastwards to Eucla at ~ 32°S, 129°E on the south coast. There is a small commercial trap fishery for H. acerba on both the lower west and south coasts of Western Australia. However, on the west coast, H.

  • Reproductive Biology of the Female Red Deep-Sea Crab, Chaceon
    REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF THE FEMALE RED DEEP-SEA CRAB, CHACEON QUINQUEDENS (SMITH, 1879), IN THE MID-ATLANTIC BIGHT By Stephanie Martínez Rivera Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2018 Dissertation Committee Dr. Bradley G. Stevens, Chair Dr. J. Sook Chung Dr. Andrea Johnson Dr. William Christopher Long Dr. Thomas Miller Copyrighted © 2018 by Stephanie Martínez Rivera All Rights Reserve ii ABSTRACT The crabs of the Family Geryonidae are widely distributed on the continental slopes of the world (Hastie, 1995). Deep-water geryonid crabs have been described as slow- growing, with late maturation and possible infrequent recruitment (Hastie, 1995). Some geryonid crab have been commercially targeted around the world, however the previous characteristics imply that it is unlikely that high yields are sustainable (Hastie, 1995). The red deep-sea crab (RDSC), Chaceon quinquedens Smith, 1879, is an epi-benthic brachyuran that can be found along the continental shelf and slope in the Western Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Nova Scotia to Florida (including the Gulf of Maine and the Gulf of Mexico) at water depths of 200–1800+ m and temperatures of 5–8 °C (Haefner & Musick, 1974; Wigley et al., 1975; Steimle et al., 2001). Red deep-sea crabs support a small, male-only and market-driven fishery since the 1970s New England and the Mid-Atlantic (Wigley et al., 1975; Wahle et al., 2008). To this day, there is still little information about C. quinquedens biology, growth, natural mortality, abundance and reproduction.
