Reproductive biology of the sand crab Emerita holthuisi.
Histological monthly observations of the gonads revealed that the Emerita holihuisi is a continuous breeder. Mature and spent gonad stages were observed throughout the year. The male E. holthuisi enters puberty upon attaining a carapace length of 2-3 mm and the female at 4 mm. The berried females of E. holihuisi were found throughout the year. The breeding cycle has been studied for one year (September 1973 to August 1974). There was an increase in the number of berried females in the months March and September. The number of females was always greater than that of males
