Observations of survival, growth, and morphology of blue king crabs collected in laboratory experiments for the Effects of Ocean Acidification on Federally Managed Crab Species project in Kodiak, Alaska from 2011-06-16 to 2012-06-18 (NCEI Accession 0247437)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 04:03 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 25, 2022 at 12:00 AM
This dataset includes observations of how CO2-driven acidification affected the growth and survival of juvenile blue king crab (Paralithodes platypus.), an important fishery species in Alaska. Early benthic instar crabs were randomly assigned to one of three pH treatments: (1) surface ambient pH ~ 8.2, (2) likely in situ ambient pH 7.8, and (3) pH 7.5. Thirty crabs were held in individual inserts in each treatment for one year and checked daily for molting or death. The complete methods, which should be read and understood prior to using this data, are published as: Long, W. C., Van Sant, S. B., Swiney, K. M., and Foy, R. 2017. Survival, growth, and morphology of blue king crabs: Effect of ocean acidification decreases with exposure time.
