Observations on the larval hatching success of dungeness crab, Cancer magister, from the San Francisco and Eureka-Crescent City region
Ovigerous Dungeness crabs were collected from the SanFrancisco and Eureka-Crescent City regions and maintained atthe Department's Marine Culture Laboratory near Monterey.Hatching success, expressed as viable larvae released, wasmeasured and compared by region. Larval counts were made from 15 Dungeness crabs, 5 from the San Francisco region, 7 from the Eureka-Crescent City area and 3 of unknown origin. Mean hatching success exceeded 80% in the San Francisco region, and averaged more than 90% in the Eureka-Crescent City area. However, a Student's t-Test showed this difference in hatching success was not significant. (16pp.)
