. The Biological bulletin. Biology; Zoology; Biology; Marine Biology. FIGURE 1. Ventral view of immature (A) and mature (B) female Libhiin. Note difference in outline of abdomen (arrows), X 1/2. and embedded in Araldite for electron microscopy. Paraffin sections (5 p) or thick plastic sections (1 /JL] were stained with toluidine blue to determine the extent of ovarian differentiation at various stages. OBSERVATIONS maturation and inoltiin/ Classification of females as immature or mature was determined on the basis of size and shape of their abdomens. The abdomen of immature females is narrow and does not extend to the base of the legs (Fig. 1). In the adult, it is rounded and almost reaches to the base of the legs (Fig. 1). Figure 2 indicates the carapace length in centimeters of immature and mature females. The maximum length of immature females seen from the wild populations was cm. Mature females 20 - 10 - A.
