High fishing intensity reduces females’ sperm reserve and brood fecundity in a eubrachyuran crab subject to sex- and size-biased harvest

Size-selective male fisheries may result in sperm limitation whereby the number of sperm is insufficient to fertilize all oöcytes produced by females. In eubrachyuran crabs, females have seminal receptacles for sperm storage which may reduce the risk of sperm limitation over their lifetime. In this...
