Age Determination of the Spider Crab Maja squinado and the European Lobster Homarus gammarus by 228 Th/ 228 Ra Chronology: Possible Extension to Other Crustaceans
A method of age determination was developed on carapaces of the spider crab, Maja squinado Herbst and European lobster Homarus gammarus L., by measuring the natural radionuclides activity ratio, 228 Th/ 228 Ra in the exoskeleton. This method allows the determination of the time elapsed since the pre...
