Behavior of blue crab <i>Callinectes sapidus</i> feeding on juvenile <i>Mya arenaria</i> and <i>Mercenaria mercenaria</i>.

Shown are means (± 1 SE) of a) handling time (HT) for crabs feeding on Mya, b) HT for crabs feeding on Mercenaria, c) search time (ST) for crabs feeding on Mya, d) ST for crabs feeding on Mercenaria, e) encounter rate (ER) for crabs feeding on Mya, and f) ER for crabs feeding on Mercenaria. Lines of different colors and patterns represent different habitat types (shell = shell hash; oyster = oyster shell), and means were calculated from n = 3 trials.
