|a Claws greater than 7.0 cm propodus length were removed from 201 stone crabs using commercially accepted techniques. The crabs were held in aquaria before and after declawing. Forty-seven of 101 crabs that had both claws removed died, and 28 of 100 single claw amputees died. Seventy six percent of the casualties died within 24 hours of declawing. The claws constituted 51% of the total weight of the crabs before declawing. Declawing would width was significantly correlated with survival. Instantaneous crab mortality estimated from measured declawing wounds of four commercial fishermen ranged from 23 to 51 percent. |
