After the block had been established for 24 h, the 1X and 2X cages
were stocked with the appropriate densities and sizes of H. sanguineus.
Densities of stocked crabs in the 1X treatment were 56/m2 in May,
48/m2 in July, and 64/m2 in August. In May and July, approximately
half of the crabs were in the 7–11.9 mm CW size range, and crabs
7–16.9 mm CW were most abundant in August.
