Temporal analysis of the weight/carapace width relationship and the condition factor in Uca mordax (Smith, 1870) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Ocypodidae) in the Igaraçu River, Parnaíba, PI, Brazil

Temporal analysis of the weight/carapace width relationship and the condition factor in Uca mordax (Smith, 1870) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Ocypodidae) in the Igaraçu River, Parnaíba, PI, Brazil

Crabs of the genus Uca Leach, 1814 are widely distributed along the Brazilian coast and play an important ecological role in the estuarine ecosystem in soil bioturbation, nutrient cycling and by serving as a food source for other organisms. This study analyzed the relationship of wet weight/carapace...
