Among crabs, eggs are attached to the tail of the female and                    carried for a length of time that varies with the species. Egg                  hatching is precisely timed with respect to environmental cycles                such as lunar, light-dark and tidal cycles. It is proposed here                 that egg hatching is controlled by the developing embryo rather                 than the female carrying the mass of embryos. Breakage of an                    initial few brings about the release of certain peptides and this               provides a chemical clue inducing the female to bring about                     behavior which results in the synchronized release of crab                      larvae.                                                                                                                                                         The proposed research is designed to answer questions that will                 increase our understanding of the egg hatching process which is                 precisely timed to enhance the larval survival and transport in                 estuarine and coastal areas.
