Description 333-335
The
relationships observed between total carapace length with carapace width,
carapace weight, telson length, body weight were found statistically
significant (p< 0.05) in the male and female horseshoe crab, Tachypleus
gigas (Muller). In

females, increase in weight
was found to follow the cube law strictly. The carapace width grew faster at
higher carapace length in females whereas, carapace weight in males was more at
lower carapace. In general, a proportional increment in morphometry was seen
with increase in age.
