Munida stimpsoni A. Milne-Edwards, 1880
Munida stimpsoni has been reported in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico in depths of 252 to 897 m (Milne- Edwards 1880; Benedict 1901; Chace 1942). All specimens measured were collected in July in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico in depths of 200 to 530 m ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 G). Sixteen males were measured, 18 non-ovigerous females, and 31 ovigerous females; male CW ranged from 8.7 to 14.1 mm, female CW ranged from 10 to 13.3 mm, and ovigerous female CW ranged from 10 to 14.4 mm. Males and females were not significantly different in size (t-test, df = 63, t = -1.535, p = 0.130) nor were ovigerous females and non-ovigerous females (t-test, df = 45, t = -0.407, p = 0.686). Females carried between 560 and 3595 eggs with an average egg diameter between 0.35 mm and 0.53 mm. Fecundity was not correlated with CW (R2 = 0.113, p = 0.065) nor was average egg size correlated to CW (R2 = 0.0548, p = 0.205).
