These were recovered by breaking the shell at each joint. The extracted meat was washed by sprinkling water. The meat from the right third merus and the total meat from each specimen were weighed. RESULTS Twenty specimens were col- lected between April 20 and A- pril 26, 1957. The data concern- ing these crabs, arranged in order of increasing carapace length, are given in table 1. Figure 1 is a graphic presen- tation of table 1 in pace length intervals. From the data of table 1, the mean meat weight is per- cent of the live weight. The merus meat averages percent of the live weight, percent of the cooked weight, and percent of the total meat weight. Figure 2 graphically presents these per- centages. There was a 4-percent de- crease in the mean live weight of the specimens after cooking. Although the results are based on a short term study and may not be applicable in all cases, the c
