The peak moulting period in females occurred at the end of spring, when copulation took place. Ovarian maturation then began. The maximum proportion of females with fully developed ovaries was found towards the end of summer and in autumn. The main spawning period began in November and lasted until January, however small numbers of ovigerous females occurred throughout the year. Most posteedysial females had sperm plugs in the gonophores. Size at sexual maturity in females is considered to be around 18-20 mm carapace length. Number of eggs carried by ovigerous females increased with size, ranging from about 30000 to about 230000. In males, moulting and maturity seasonal patterns are not as marked as in females [ES] El ciclo reproductivo y de muda en Liocarcinus depurator del Mediterráneo noroccidcntal se ha estudiado a partir de muestras mensuales tomadas entre febrero de 1984 y enero de 1985. El principal período de muda en las hembras ocurrió a finales de primavera. La cópula tiene lugar inmediatamente después de la muda, iniciándose a continuación la maduración ovárica. A finales de verano y en otoño se halló el máximo número de hembras con ovarios plenamente desarrollados. El principal período de puesta comenzó en noviembre, prolongándose hasta enero. No obstante, se detectó presencia de hembras ovígeras durante todos los meses del año. La mayor parte de las hembras en postmuda presentaron tapones de esperma en los gonoporos. La talla de madurez sexual en las hembras se encuentra alrededor de 18-20 mm de longitud de cefalotórax. El número de huevos transportado por hembras ovígeras aumenta con la talla, oscilando entre 30.000 y 230. 000. En los machos, las pautas estacionales de madurez y muda no son tan marcadas Peer reviewed 2010-10-19T12:02:10Z 2010-10-19T12:02:10Z 1989-03 artículo http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 Scientia Marina 53(1): 127-134 (1989) 0214-8358 http://hdl.handle.net/10261/28555 1886-8134 en http://www.icm.csic.es/scimar/index.php/secId/6/IdArt/2577/ open Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (España)
