A contribution to the biology of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus rathbun) (sic) in Texas, with a description of the fishery.

Research on the biology of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, was begun in Texas in 1962 by biologists of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Information on seasonal abundance, growth, movements and environmental relationships was used to study trends in the crab population, while a survey of the fishery provided information on the size of the catch and market conditions.
