Abstract

Dates and locations of Callinectes blue crab samples from the coastal Atlantic waters of North and South America, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean from Massachusetts to Uruguay from 2017 through 2021. Crab populations were sampled using methods available to collaborating scientists, managers, and fishermen, as listed in the dataset.

In 2017 to 2019, crab populations were sampled using methods available to collaborating scientists, managers, and fishermen, as listed in the table. Note: The location of Maldonado [UR_Mal2018-09] crab collection is approximate.

In 2020 and 2021, additional Callinectes spp. collections were made using baited traps in the San Juan Estuary; a few crabs were also collected from continental US coasts. These crabs were infected with CsRV1 and used in the genetic analysis of that virus.
