Although fewer studies evaluating the use of CWT in crustacean
biology have been conducted, the results of this and other studies
using small crustaceans (e.g. Fitz and Wiegart 1991; Isely and
Eversole 1998; Sharp et al. 2000) are promising. CWTs appear
to be a reliable and effective way to determine biological parameters
(growth, survival, migration, etc.) for small species (Webb
and Kneib 2004) and/or early life stages (Sharp et al. 2000) that
were previously unobtainable.
