“…Because of its large size and tasty meat, this crab has been exploited in many parts of Brazil (Rodrigues et al, 2000). The relative growth of several species of ocypodids has been studied (Crane, 1941;Barnes, 1968;Haley, 1969Haley, , 1973Miller, 1973;von Hagen, 1987), including fiddler crabs of the genus Uca (Frith and Brunmeister, 1983;Negreiros-Fransozo et al, 2003). The biometric studies of U. cordatus have emphasized dimorphism of the chelae (Santos and Garcia-Mendes, 1982), or allometric growth of the carapace (Branco, 1993).…”

“…MASUNARI et al (2005), numa revisão do tamanho mínimo que um caranguejo macho atinge a maturidade sexual morfológica dentre as espécies de Uca, observaram que este valor tem uma correlação direta e linear com o tamanho máximo que a espécie ou população pode atingir. Entretanto, esta correlação não foi observada nas fêmeas, na dimensão largura do abdome: espécies cujas fêmeas têm tamanhos máximos semelhantes apresentaram valores variados (MILLER 1973, MASUNARI & SWIECH-AYOUB 2003, NEGREIROS-FRANSOZO et al 2003 KOWALCZUK & MASUNARI (2000). Num estudo comparativo do nível de alometria da dimensão comprimento da maior quela dos machos em relação à largura da carapaça, MASUNARI et al (2005) observaram que os valores de alometria dentre as espéci-es de Uca são sempre superiores às demais espécies de Brachyura, permitindo explicar o tamanho gigantesco da maior quela dos machos de Uca.…”

“…Notwithstanding, it is noteworthy that changes in relative growth patterns in the morphometric maturity of C. ramosae were much more difficult to identify than in many other Brachyura such as, for instance, Majidae, Ocypodidae, and Pinnotheridae (e.g. Carmona-Suárez, 2003;Negreiros-Fransozo et al, 2003;Alves et al, 2005). In fact, changes in allometry patterns in Geryonidae have been found to be very subtle or even in Table 5.…”
