Moderate concentrations of red tide can have sublethal effects on stone crabs, reducing larval survival. Mitigation measures to decrease bloom concentrations may help alleviate pressure on stone crab populations.
The stone crab, Menippe mercenaria, supports a commercial fishery along Florida's Gulf coast where harmful algae blooms, known as red tides (Karenia brevis) develop. Red tides occur nearly annually and can overlap with the stone crab reproductive season. We determined the impact of moderate red tide (K. brevis) concentrations (similar to 10(5) cells L-1) on stone crab embryo development, hatching success, female stress, hatch duration, and larval survival. Crabs and larvae were exposed to a control (no K. brevis) or moderate concentrations of K. brevis. No difference in embryo development or hatching success was observed. Stress was elevated in the K. brevis treatment, resulting in prolonged hatching relative to the control. Larval survival was reduced in K. brevis relative to the control. Moderate concentrations of K. brevis results in sublethal effects on stone crabs and reduces larval survival, suggesting that mitigation that reduces bloom concentrations could provide relief to stone crab populations.
