 note = {It is necessary for studying the life history of marine benthos to clarify the seasonal
variation of size-frequency of its local population. Field studies were conducted on seasonal
variation of density, breeding cycle and recruitment of Scopimera globosa in Tomioka, West
Kyushu, from May of 1980 to September of 1981. The density of individuals was highest in
autumn with new recruitment and was lowest in summer after the breeding periods. The
density has been stable during winter through early spring. The ovigerous females consisted
of larger crabs over 5.0 mm of carapace length in early reproductive season and subsequently
the smaller crabs took part in reproduction. It is assumed that S.globosa females breed once
during reproductive season, except for large size crabs, some of which breed at least two times
during the season. The recruitment occurred concentrically in late summer in both 1980 and
1981.},
