A relationship based on 27 populations of tiger muskie from 9 states was used to develop a specific equation for tiger muskie and computed that c = 0.00008035 and b = 3.337. [15] This relationship predicts that a 84 cm (33 in) tiger muskie will weigh about 4.5 kg (10 lb) , and a 120 cm (47 in) tiger muskie will weigh about 14 kg (30 lb).
Orithyia sinica, sometimes called tiger crab or the tiger face crab, is a "singularly unusual" species of crab, [1] whose characteristics warrant its separation into a separate genus, family and even superfamily, [1] having previously been included in the Dorippoidea or Leucosioidea. [2] Its larvae, for instance, are unlike those of any other ...
Hybrids are sterile, although females sometimes unsuccessfully engage in spawning motions. Some hybrids are artificially produced and planted for anglers to catch. Tiger muskies grow faster than pure muskies, but do not attain the ultimate size of their pure relatives, as the tiger muskie does not live as long. [citation needed]
Muskie anglers have reported high catch rates in the lake, with some fish now reaching the 42-inch huskie muskie size. The muskellunge daily limit at C.J. Brown Reservoir is one fish of any size.
The Tasmanian giant crab is one of the largest crabs in the world, reaching a mass of 17.6 kg (39 lb) and a carapace width of up to 46 cm (18 in). [6] Among crabs, only the Japanese spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi) can weigh more. [5] Male Tasmanian giant crabs reach more than twice the size of females, [7] which do not exceed 7 kg (15 lb).

A Japanese spider crab at the Manila Ocean Park, the Philippines The Japanese spider crab has the greatest leg span of any known arthropod, reaching up to 3.7 m (12.1 ft) from claw to claw. [ 6 ] The body may grow to 40 cm (16 in) in carapace width and the whole crab can weigh up to 19 kg (42 lb) [ 7 ] —second in mass only to the American ...
Crabs vary in size from the pea crab, a few millimeters wide, to the Japanese spider crab, with a leg span up to 4 m (13 ft). [6] Several other groups of crustaceans with similar appearances – such as king crabs and porcelain crabs – are not true crabs, but have evolved features similar to true crabs through a process known as carcinisation .
