Sampling indicated that sex ratios of juveniles were stable at each salinity level, while adults showed greater variation. All but 9 of 18 Gulf crabs (Callinectes danae) were collected in salinities over 20 ppt. Tagging results are discussed and suggestions to improve the experiments are offered.Callinectes danaemarine crustaceansblue crababundancesalinity gradientstaggingTechnical Report
