“…In blue crabs, the degree to which threat behavior is ritualized has not yet been quantified; however, it is apparent that outright combat is frequent when crab density is high (Smith, 1990;Mansour and Lipcius, 1991;Smith and Hines, 1991). Consequences of aggressive interactions among crabs can be serious in terms of physical damage and energy loss (Smith, 1990;Smith and Hines, 1991;Smith and Taylor, 1993;Juanes and Smith, 1995;Smith, 1995), and -when there is a large size differential between combatants -even fatal (Dittel et al, 1995;Hines and Ruiz, 1995).…”

“…Limb loss is known to affect crustacean growth and several studies have shown a 'regenerative load' (sensu Skinner, 1985), where the reduction in growth increments at the moult will be proportional to the required regeneration (for a review see Juanes & Smith, 1995).…”

“…The importance of antennae and chelae is well known, however the role of walking legs in locomotion, sensing and collection of food, cleaning of body surfaces, and mating and egg rolling (Pond, 1975;Holdich, 2002) should not be undervalued. The process of regeneration is relatively rapid and well developed in crayfish (McCall and Mead, 2008;Buȓic et al, 2009); however, body part regeneration uses energy that would otherwise be available for somatic and/or reproductive processes (Aiken and Waddy, 1992;Juanes and Smith, 1995). Consequently, injuries and the accompanying regeneration may have a significant impact on overall growth, survival, and reproductive success in crayfish.…”

“…On the other, loss of part of the body can lead to local tissue damage, loss of body fluids, and infection (Bely and Nyberg, 2010). Furthermore, regeneration imposes an additional energy demand (regenerative load), reducing energy allocation for somatic and/or reproductive processes (Juanes and Smith, 1995;Powell et al, 1998;Mariappan et al, 2000). Crayfish with injured chelae have been found to be significantly smaller than intact individuals (Figiel and Miller, 1995;Savolainen et al, 2003).…”
