Observations on the Growth of the Sculptured Shrimp Sclerocrangon Boreas (Decapoda: Caridea)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Little is known of the growth of the sculptured shrimp Sclerocrangon boreas, a remarkable member of arctic and subarctic marine shelf communities. We determined the length-weight relationship, abdomen allometry, and size structure of shrimp in a population of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, eastern Canada. We also reared shrimp for up to 3.5 years to measure their growth. The presence of very small immature females in the wild population indicates that the sculptured shrimp is not obligatorily a protandric hermaphrodite, if at all. Females grow faster, reach a greater size, and live longer than males. Males may be |$ \ge {\rm{4}}$| years old at |${\rm{17 \,\,mm}}$| cephalothorax length (CL) and females |$ \ge {\rm{6}}$| years old at |${\rm{29 \,\,mm}}$| CL. Ovigerous females have a broader abdomen with longer pleopod setae than similarly-sized immature females. After releasing their progeny, some females may molt and grow in length but revert to a condition of narrow abdomen and short pleopod setae, and then molt again to a condition of broad abdomen with long pleopod setae. This finding and demographic data suggest that some females are alternate-year spawners. Other females did not molt for |$ \geq {\rm{2}}$| years and may spawn in successive years.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
