Effect of temperature on agonistic behavior and energy metabolism of the swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus)

Fighting and cannibalism between crabs are key factors that restrict increases in production and economic benefits. Temperature is an important environmental factor that affects the agonistic behavior and physiological activities of crustaceans. To explore the response mechanism of energy metabolism associated with agonistic behavior, we quantified the agonistic behavior and the concentrations of glycogen and key metabolites of the swimming crab...
