Abstract Coconut crab is a coastal animal that lives in costal forest on islands of tropical Indo-Pacific. Crab populations are currently under threat of extinction. Several issues contribute to this, including high levels of exploitation, degradation of their native habitat, land clearance, and plantations development. This study aimed to examine the biomorphometric of coconut crabs, which includes the composition, sex ratio, distribution, widht and weight relation, condition factors and gonad maturity level. The descriptive explorative methods was used in this research. The results showed that the composition of 156 coconut crabs consisted of 82 females. The results obtained a balanced sex ratio. The size of the carapace width obtained ranged from 40.15 to 88.55 mm, with a weight of 150-565 grams. The relationship between width and capacity is allometric. The values obtained from these factors ranged from 1.01 to 1.03 for men and 1.01 to 1.012 for females. The gonad maturity level of male and female mud crabs was dominated by TKG III and IV. This indicated that the research time was in spawning period.

The blue swimming crab (BSC) fishery in Tiworo Strait has been heavily exploited since two decades ago when its worldwide demand and price was very high. Study on population aspects of this organism in this waters is limited. The aim of present study was to investigate growth patterns, population stock status, and size at first gonad maturity of Portunus pelagicus. One of the main fishing ground of BSC around Tiworo Strait waters is at Bangko and Gala Islands. Samples of BSC were taken monthly using gillnet and collapsible trap. Each sample taken was identified its sex, measured its carapace width, and weighed. Data collected from fishing ground of BSC were analyzed to find out growth patterns, population stock status using spawning potential ratio (SPR) method, and the first gonad maturity (CW50). The results of study showed that growth patterns of BSC male and female following isometric growth patterns (b=0) (P<0.05). It was found out that SPR of BSC from both fishing ground was 22.46% and 23.71%, respectively which indicates that population stock status of BSC in Tiworo strait waters is “moderate level” (SPR > 20%). The size at first gonad maturity (CW50) was attained at carapace width of 9.16 cm for male and 10.16 cm for female. Those imply that BSCs allowed to be caught should be >10 cm.

The relationship between chela height (CH) and carapace width (CW) of male snow crab, Chionoecetes opilio, goes through three allometric stages. The "immature stage" (mostly < 34 mm CW) evolves into a "juvenile stage" (34–120 mm CW) through a "juvenile molt" defining a change in allometry marked by an angular point around 34 mm CW. Fifty percent of males reach gonad maturity, defined by the presence of spermatophores inside the vasa deferentia, at an estimated size of 34 mm CW) The third allometric stage, "morphometrically mature," is separated from the juvenile stage by a "molt to morphometric maturity" at sizes ranging from 50 to 120 mm CW. Juvenile males have smaller claws than morphometrically mature males of the same size. This secondary sexual character is justified by a specific behavior of the males holding the pereipods of the female in one chela during precopulatory embrace. Male snow crab efficiently mate in nature with intermolt multiparous females only after reaching morphometric maturity. Therefore, the presence of spermatophores is not the sole determinant factor necessary for male copulation. Juvenile males larger than the minimum legal size of 95 mm CW are harvestable before, they may efficiently mate.
