Salinity tolerance of northern Brazilian mangrove crab larvae, Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): Necessity for larval export? (2006, background): “In our study area, 320 km southeast of the Amazon mouth, the local Ucides population is still comparably healthy (Glaser and Diele, 2004; Diele et al., 2005), but fishing pressure is increasing due to demographic growth and adequate management strategies are currently being discussed.”
THE ROLE OF MANGROVES IN FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT (2014, background): “Market forces also regulate harvesting, with strong demand for large crabs meaning that females and immature males have little commercial value and are rarely harvested (Diele et al. 2005).”
Managing mangroves with benthic biodiversity in mind: Moving beyond roving banditry (2008, background): “Although the Ucides fishery is considered biologically sustainable in the Caeté estuary (Diele et al., 2005) because large male crabs account for 98% of the harvest, there has still been a notable decline in population size of marketable-size crabs.”
