Abstract
Mark-recapture data on individually marked adult Orconectes virilis living in a stream in southeastern Michigan were used to estimate growth rate and survivorship. Growth rates calculated for this population are markedly higher than those published for other populations of this species and are consistent with the exceptional size of these crayfish.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
