Critical thermal maxima of two species of intertidal crabs, Scylla olivacea and Thalamita crenata at different acclimation temperatures

Understanding the thermal tolerance of both candidate and potential aquaculture species is important for determining their temperature limit at certain stages of culture. The aim of the present work was to determine the effect of acclimation at different temperatures on the Critical Thermal Maxima (CTMax) and escaping temperature (Tesc) and Acclimation Response Ratio (ARR) of the mud crab, Scylla olivacea, and the crenate swimming crab,...
