Inter-Cohort Cannibalism of Early Benthic Phase Blue King Crabs (Paralithodes platypus): Alternate Foraging Strategies in Different Habitats Lead to Different Functional Responses
Figure 3
The number of prey crabs eaten as a function of predator size (carapace length) in sand (closed circles) and shell (open circles) habitat.
Lines represent linear regression. Equations are: 1) sand: prey eaten = −23.926 + (1.883×carapace length), R2 = 0.895; and, 2) shell: prey eaten = 1.373 + (0.00155×carapace length), R2 = 0.0000568.
