Abstract

Hydroacoustic tracking of blue crab movements was performed along the Atlantic coast. Crabs were tagged with Vemco V9 acoustic tags and released in receiver arrays in Virginia (Aug 2019) and Florida (St. Petersburg in May 2019, Jacksonville in Jan-Feb 2020). Potential positions and pathways of crabs within each coastal receiver array were estimated using a Center of Activity analysis.
