Another animal adapted to the abiotic factors of the Nudgee Beach mangrove ecosystem is the common soldier crab (Mictyris longicarpus). The common soldier crab is a small crustacean that typically travels in “armies” of thousands to ensure strength in numbers when feeding. Soldier crabs feed off of particle detritus in the mudflat sediment and retreat back into the sand as the tide rises [11]. With their jointed legs and pointed dactylus, soldier crabs are able to burrow underground and can remain secluded – by creating an air pocket around them – for as long as the tide is high. This…

Holding true to his prior studies, Horton explains how crab populations have not been able to rise to it’s full potential because a lack of female blue crabs in the region. While there are sufficient numbers to hold a stable food source, fisheries cannot continuously fish there as the numbers could deplete rapidly which is why it is used as a fallback for many companies. In 1993, scientists were seemingly ready to accept that they have finally reached a ‘stasis point’ where the ecosystem is now able to thriving again, and on the rise. While we did see a rise in crab populations and somewhat with oysters, in 2005, the records indicate that there is much more that can and should be…
