 in Biscay ne Bay. Quarterly Journal of the 

 Florida Academy of Sciences, vol. 32, No. 1, 

 p. 12-20. 



Collections were made with a hand-pulled 

 dredge to determine population density 

 over various bottom types. About 22 per- 



cent of the blue crabs was visibly infected 

 by Loxothylacus texanus. Breeding dates 

 appeared to be dependent on the tempera- 

 ture. C. sapidus acutidens made up part of 

 the population. C. ornatus was the only 

 portunid found with blue crabs, possibly 

 because of competition or predation by the 

 blue crab.

 conversion.

1948. The effect of eyestalk removal of 

 Callinectes sapidus on molt control, color and 

 mating reflexes. B.S. thesis, Harvard Uni-

The commercial application of molt 

 acceleration, the sinus gland chromato- 

 phore control, and the copulatory- 

 inhibition center of the crab central 

 nervous system are dealt with.
