Model-based evaluation of critical nursery habitats for juvenile blue crabs through ontogeny: abundance and survival in seagrass, salt marsh, and unstructured bottom

Abstract: Nursery habitats confer higher food availability and reduced predation risk, thereby contributing disproportionately more individuals per unit area to the population compared with other habitats. Nursery status is inferred through evaluation of four metrics: density, growth, survival, and linkage between juveniles and adults. Moreover, organisms commonly use multiple habitats as nurseries throughout ontogeny to satisfy shifting resource requirements. To this end, we conducted manipulative and mensurative field… Show more
