Occupation of specific sites as nursery grounds for the establishment and development of early post-larval stages is very common in brachyuran species; juvenile and adult crabs often occupy different habitats as they develop, because of their different needs for certain resources (Berrill, 1982; Fukui, 1988; Morgan and Christy, 1995; Flores and Negreiros Fransozo, 1998; Gimenez et al.

Brachyuran crabs are iteroparous species which present a high diversification of reproduction patterns (Hartnoll & Gould 1988), which may have evolved as a species-specific response to environmental conditions.

75; both caridean shrimp and brachyuran crab larvae were present in the spring, but brachyurans dominated the decapod prey in summer).
