| At six localities the infestations exceeded 1000 worms per pleopod. |
|
| And the heaviest infestation was seen off Kodiak Island with 24,000 worms per pleopod at a locality appropriately named, if you are a crab egg, Terror Bay. |

| Relative pleopod length as an indicator of size at sexual maturity in slipper and spiny Hawaiian lobsters. |

| Upon extrusion, eggs were removed from the pleopods by grasping the top of the pleopod with forceps and scraping the eggs from the pleopod. |

| Todd Zimmerman corrected this based on the form of the pleopod. |
|
| Eggs were then carefully teased off pleopod setae with jeweler's forceps and stored after being wrapped in cool, damp paper towels to minimize evaporative weight loss. |
