Relative growth of harpiosquilla raphidea (Fabricius, 1798) (crustacea: stomatopoda) male and female populations

Morphometric analysis was carried out to find out changes in the growth pattern of male and female stomatopod, Harpiosquilla raphidea. Six morphometric relationships were examined on 105 males and 105 females, ranging in size from 103 to 207 mm and from 104 to 222 mm in total length, respectively. I...
