Abstract
The ocypodid crab, Macrophthalmus japonicus, commonly occurs in tidal flats in areas around Korea. We examined the age and growth of M. japonicus collected from the tidal flats of Haui Island in Jeollanamdo, Korea, from January to December 2006. According to variation in the monthly fatness index, the population spawned from June to August. To estimate parameters of growth, frequencies of monthly carapace lengths were analyzed using FiSAT II. The allometry of females differed from that of males. VBGE(von Bertalanffy growth equation) and seasonal VBGE were determined using monthly average carapace lengths for males and females, and an equation for estimating seasonal growth was calculated using regression coefficients.
