Temperature and Habitat Complexity Mediate Cannibalism in Red King Crab: Observations on Activity, Feeding, and Prey Defense Mechanisms

Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate how water temperature mediates the cannibalistic relationship between age 0 and age 1 red king crab (RKC) (Paralithodes camtschaticus), and the role of habitat structure in providing refuge for prey. We also observed the activity levels of age 1 crab...
