| One intent of Alaska's crab management program
is to allow male golden king crabs a chance to breed before they reach
harvestable size. This study provides information on measurements of males,
ensuring that male maturity status can be accurately determined by fisheries
managers. In addition, it is the first published research on the growth
rate of female golden king crab juveniles, useful in determining the number
of egg clutches a female might produce. For full text see http://www.state.ak.us/adfg/geninfo/pubs/afrb/vol6_n2/2pauv6n2.pdf.
