Green crab Carcinus maenas symbiont profiles along a North Atlantic invasion route

TL;DR: A histological survey for symbiotic associations of invasive C. maenas from their native range in Northern Europe, and invasive range in Atlantic Canada found parasites such as Trematoda and Acanthocephala were present in all countries despite their complex, multi-species lifecycles.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of temperature and salinity on mortality of recently recruited blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, naturally infected with Hematodinium perezi (Dinoflagellata).

TL;DR: The mortality observed in this study indicates that early benthic juveniles will experience significant mortality due to H. perezi with increasing ocean temperatures and that this mortality may be a significant factor in the recruitment of blue crabs to high salinity regions.
