To determine short-term patterns of movement and habitat use by Dungeness crabs, (Cancer magister), in southeastern Alaska, we attached ultrasonic tags to 16 males, 8 nonovigerous females and 11 ovigerous crabs in five bays in southeastern Alaska. The positions of the crabs were fixed at six-hour intervals for about a week.
