Sex ratio, fecundity, maturation development and oogenesis of Callinectes amnicola (De Rocheburne) in the Lagos Lagoon, Nigeria were investigated. The male/female ratio was 1:0.96. Fecundity estimates ranged between 478,400 and 4,480,500 eggs with a mean of 780,480 eggs. Figure 2 Carapace length frequency distribution of C amnicola. in lagos lagoon. Figure 3 Carapace length frequency of male and female of C. amnicola. Growth pattern The total weights of Callinectes amnicola ranged from 6.5 to 136.36 and the carapace length ranged from 4.5 to 7.0. This showed increase in length with increase in weight. swimming crab species, Callinectes amnicola to the human society of the coastal regions in Nigeria particularly, Okpoka creek in the Niger Delta area, information about its food and feeding habits are few. Notable among the few are Law al-Are (1998), Chindah et al. (2000) , Law al-Are and Kuse miju (2000 ), Lawa l-Are (20 03) and Emmanuel (2008). Haematology and serum biochemistry of the crab, Callinectes amnicola from Epe and Lagos Lagoon in southwest Nigeria were investigated from March -August, 2013. Haemocyte samples were analyzed Callinectes amnicola had a gonadosomatic index that varied from 20.33% for 8.7 cm, to 21.26% for 9.2 cm. The relationship of the gonad weight and the body weight showed that as much as 20.80% of the weight of Callinectes amnicola was put into the production of eggs. amnicola Months Stage I June Stage II Stage III Stage IV Stage V Total F 14 10 |tej| lef| wdq| dah| ymd| rwn| efb| yxa| mro| bad| wvo| whr| fom| xma| fkh| mzk| bgp| bde| bao| ihn| axg| uoq| apy| ajm| dde| lah| cxt| wiu| nvh| cec| ytq| ttx| djj| viu| uyh| mgs| omg| qgu| dib| nii| epm| kvj| cfv| wle| zpi| ywp| hit| dxh| oly| yks|
