Relative rate of molts of puberty (total number of molts of puberty divided by total of all molts times 100) for crabs greater than 30 mm pre-molt carapace length. Numbers above each column indicate total number of molts observed for that crab group in that month. Data were accumulated from 1975 to 1982. Asterisks indicate significant differences between within month values at the following levels: ***P < , **P < , *P (G-test of independence)..
