Blue Crabs

Blue Crabs

In this session we will show the students what it is like to be a blue crab biologist. We will go over the basic blue crab morphology and life cycle. Additionally, we’ll demonstrate how we use count and measurement data to look at trends in the St. John’s River.

Learning Points

1. Talk with biologists about the blue crab morphology and life cycle.
2. Learn how biologists study the blue crabs (videos on the water).
3. Learn how the biologists interpret data to look at crab trends.
