Warming Waters Disrupt Caribbean King Crab Larvae Behavior

Caribbean king crab larvae swim less and die more at 32°C, a near threefold jump in mortality over the control group. The shift is quiet but consequential: first-stage larvae reverse their vertical swimming, sinking faster rather than rising. That behavioral flip threatens dispersal and larval supply for outplanted populations. For restoration programs, this is a warning that stocking reefs with *Maguimithrax spinosissimus* assumes a resilience the larvae may not have.
