The timing and route of movement and migration of post-copulatory female blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, from the upper Chesapeake Bay (2005, unknown): “…or standard mark– recapture techniques (e.g., Fiedler, 1930; Cronin, 1949; Cargo, 1958; Fischler and Walburg, 1962; Tagatz, 1968; Judy and Dudley, 1970; Nye, 1989; Wolcott and Hines, 1989; Steele, 1991; Hines et al., 1995; Schwartz, 1997; Clark et al., 1999; Bell et al., 2003; Turner et al., 2003).”
Thresholds of hypoxia for marine biodiversity (2008, background): “Benthic fish have been reported to move to near-surface waters to breathe when bottom waters become hypoxic (26), and crustaceans move to shallower areas (27), where these organisms are more vulnerable to predation.”
Effects of low dissolved oxygen on zooplankton predation by the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi (2004, background): “Motile species may shift their horizontal or vertical distribution in both freshwater and coastal systems influenced by hypoxia (Rudsam & Magnuson 1985, Kolar & Rahel 1993, Roman et al. 1993, Breitburg et al. 1994, Howell & Simpson 1994, Keister et al. 2000, Bell et al. 2003).”
Juvenile weakfish Cynoscion regalis distribution in relation to diel-cycling dissolved oxygen in an estuarine tributary (2007, background): “Adult and late-stage juvenile blue crabs are abundant during summer in Pepper Creek; however, Bell et al. (2003) reported that their feeding rates were somewhat suppressed when exposed to DO levels between 2 and 4 mg O2 l–1.”
Assessing Stress and Predicting Mortality in Economically Significant Crustaceans (2012, background): “…subjects are most often focused on determining movement patterns and habitat use for lobsters (Smith et al., 2001; MacArthur et al. 2008; Bertelsen and Hornbeck, 2009; Scopel et al., 2009) and large crabs (Hines et al., 1995; Bell et al., 2003; Holsman et al., 2006) and not discard mortality.”
Species-specific avoidance responses by blue crabs and fish to chronic and episodic hypoxia (2005, background): “For example, hypoxic upwelling events can cause crowding in shallow refuge habitats (Loesch 1960; Pihl et al. 1991; Breitburg 1992; Lenihan et al. 2001), which could lead to enhanced predation risk via increased agonism and harassment ( Bell 2002; Eby and Crowder 2002).”
