Growth in the northern stone crab Lithodes maja Linnaeus, 1758 (Decapoda: Anomura: Lithodidae), a potential fishery target, in the laboratory
Abstract Data are presented on growth in early juvenile (N = 36; 2.05–3.95 mm carapace length) Lithodes maja Linnaeus, 1758 reared at 6 °C in the laboratory, and on growth in males (N = 24; 45.9–113.3 mm carapace length) and females (N = 9; 61.0–81.3 mm carapace length) maintained at 6 °C in the lab...
