Blue crabs (C. sapidus) are an ecologically and economically important species. As climate change expands their habitable region, it is critical that their behavioral patterns are understood more thoroughly. This paper focuses on the relationship between cyclical, temporal processes (such as seasonal, tidal, and daylight cycles) and blue crab activity in Shinnecock Bay, N.Y. To evaluate these questions, we took advantage of an already existing data set containing fish and crustacean species presence in front of an array of underwater time-lapse cameras. Blue crab data was parsed out and separated by collection month, tidal stages, and discrete periods of time around dawn, dusk, mid-day, and midnight. Our results showed that blue crab activity was statistically different between the months of the year that data was collected with the most activity occurring in August and September. While activity between tidal states was not significantly different regardless of collection month, the results are still biologically meaningful. There was a difference in activity between different times of day with the hour surrounding solar midnight resulting in the most time blue crabs spent in front of the camera. From an environmental regulation perspective, this study emphasizes the need for more research on how blue crab activity will affect ecosystems to which they are migrating.
