Biodiversity can be useful as an ecosystem indicator for conservation and monitoring, through continuous assessment of its main properties including stability, primary productivity, exploitation tolerance and even global environmental changes. The main purpose of this study was to provide a checklist of the crabs associated with subtidal rocky bottoms at the Vitoria Archipelago, southeastern Brazilian coast. Monthly collections were carried out from February 2004 through January 2006 on three islands at the Vitória Archipelago (23°44’S-45°01’W). The crabs were hand-caught by SCUBA divers during the daytime, in rock subtidal. A total of 3084 individuals were caught, belonging to 42 species, 28 genera, and 12 families, highlighting Mithraculus forceps (1528) and Stenorhynchus seticornis (407) representing more than 60% of the sample. On the other hand, Dromia erythropus, Moreiradromia antilensis, Ebalia stimpsoni, Garthiope spinipes and Tumidotheres maculatus had only one individual sampled.

INTRODUCTIONStudies of established populations of Laminaria hyperborea (Gunn.) Fosl. have indicated that there is often less change of growth rate with depth than might be expected to result from the decrease in irradiance (Kain, 1967; Lüming, 1969; Jupp & Drew, 1974). This has been attributed to self-limitation by the canopy of Laminaria fronds (Lüning, 1969; Kain et al. 1976). The removal of this canopy can result in fast growth in shallow water (Kitching, 1941; Svendsen, 1972) and a marked differential in growth rate over a small depth range (Svendsen, personal communication). A series of rocky subtidal areas at two depths off the Isle of Man was cleared of vegetation at various times (Kain, 1975a). This provided an opportunity to make growth measurements on individuals of known age in the absence of a canopy formed by older plants.
