| Abstract: | Influence of salinity on the distribution of hermit crabs in Porto Novo waters was studied. Of the 5 estuarine hermit crabs studied Clibanarius olivaceus, C. longitarsus and Diogenes avarus tolerated dilutions up to 1% salinity and C. infraspinatus and C. padavensis up to 2% salinity. In marine hermit crabs (9 species) the lethal salinity range overlapped in relation to their overlapping distribution in nature. |
