The Heinous Carcinus maenas
| Challenge: | Environment | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Eastern Newfoundland | | City: | Paradise, NL | | School: | Holy Spirit H.S. | | Abstract: | The focus of this year long study of the Carcinus maenas was to investigate the correlation between time of year and the Gonadosomatic Index Percentage of the Green Crab and to determine whether abiotic factors (air/water temperature, salinity) affect the abundance of the Green Crab. Additional investigation was conducted to determine the possibility of Green crab as potential organic compost to alleviate this existing problem. |
