Tagging Juvenile Blue Crabs, Callinectes sapidus, with Microwire Tags: Retention, Survival, and Growth through Multiple Molts

During an 80-day laboratory experiment we analyzed the retention of coded microwire tags implanted into 56 juvenile blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, and compared their growth and mortality rates with those of an equal number of untagged crabs. The initial size of the crabs ranged from 29-67-mm carap...
