【 摘 要 】

ABSTRACT: The natural mortality rate is a key parameter in ecology and fisheries, but it may be difficult to estimate as it is highly variable and often confounded with other factors such as fishing mortality and migration. This is especially true for crustaceans in general, as age determination is problematic, and for snow crabs
