| Abstract |
This report is an investigation of the effects of environmental quality on blue crabs using hemolymph hemocyanin concentrations as an indicator of crab fitness. Blue crab samples were collected at predetermined sites in the Albemarle/Pamlico (NC) study area and in the southeastern part of the state. It was concluded that there is no direct correlation between contaminant accumulation and either depressed hemocyanin concentrations or shell disease among the blue crabs from the Pamlico and Neuse rivers. |
