Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and E_Hp only
- Wdj data ignored, because it seems too low
Facts
- From the ages of 1 to 4 Alaskan king crabs form clusters of up to 500,000 individuals called pods (Ref: ADW)
- 4 zoeal stages, 1 glaucothoe stage; Experimental studies have shown that stage I zoeae need salinity above 20 ppt and temperature below 15 C; stage II zoeae required temperatures below 3 C (Ref: nobanis)
