Previous Image | Next Image
Description: In an aquarium setting, when offered a choice of equal numbers of each size mussel, the shore crab (Carcinus maenas) prefers intermediate-sized mussels that provide the highest rate of energy return. Profitability is the energy yield (joules) per second of time used in breaking open the shell.
