• As the world demand for crustacean meat of all kinds continues to rise, interest has grown in the potential for commercial exploitation of deep-water geryonid crabs.

• Chaceon granulatus is apparently a very large geryonid, with maximum weights of 2.02 kg and 1.51 kg recorded for male and female specimens, respectively.

  Academic text (1992)

• Presently, there are two major geryonid fisheries in the Atlantic.

  Academic text (1992)

• A brief review of the present status, distribution, and fishery potential of Pacific geryonids in general is included.

  Academic text (1992)

• Individual archipelagoes in the Western Pacific possess relatively small areas at suitable depths for geryonid exploitation. Collectively, however, this area must be considerable.

  Academic text (1992)

• The recorded depth range (250-900 m) is similar to that of other geryonids, but the large numbers of females caught below 700 m are atypical.

  Academic text (1992)

• It is possible that similar populations of geryonids exist on the slopes of several Indo-Pacific archipelagoes.

  Academic text (1992)

• Manning (1990) has noted that red geryonid species are often found in deeper water than tan ones; this tendency has now been recorded intraspecifically for C. granulatus.

  Academic text (1992)

• Commercial fisheries targeting geryonids have increased in the Atlantic Ocean due to rising demand.

• Researchers study the habitats of geryonids to understand their role in the ocean ecosystem.
