Abstract

Conversion factors have been determined for 5 sets of variables, namely
carapace length and total length, abdominal weight and total weight, total length
and total weight, total length and abdominal weight and carapace length and
abdominal weight. The relationship between the first 2. sets of variables was found
to be linear and the other 3 sets, exponential. Carapace is longer in male
than in female. The female has a shorter carapace and hence a longer as well as
heavier abdomen, whereas the total weight is more in male than in female.
