Species composition and toxicity of by-catch crabs in the EEZ Sarawak
One hundred and sixty four samples ofcrabs were collected by-catch from 35 stations in EEZ Sarawak., during cruises ofM. V. SEAFDEC 2, 18 August -17 September 2015. The crab samples were collected using otter trawl net with the depth ofcapture range from 22 m to 140 m depth. Seven different Families...
