Abstract

The relative growth of the deep-water stomatopod crustacean Squilloides leptosquilla (Squillidae) was analyzed using a total of 440 specimens collected on board the small-scale bottom trawlers in Kagoshima Bay, southern Japan. The relationships of the total length (TL), total body weight (TBW), body weight without raptorial claws (BW), telson length (TEL), and telson width (TW) to the carapace length (CL) were described by the power function. By the analysis of covariance, significant differences were revealed between sexes except CL-TBW and CL-BW relationships. The relative growth between CL and TW was allometric in males, resulting a sexual dimorphism but not a secondary sexual character.
