About the author
Gustavo Lovrich is a marine biologist with interests in crab biology and benthic ecology, mainly in the sub-Antarctic environments. He studies the biological bases for the management of king crab fisheries in the southern tip of South America and participates in a population subsidy program to improve the king crab population. He has been coordinating the scientific research in the offshore marine protected areas of Argentina for the last five years.
Martin Thiel is a marine biologist with a strong interest in animal behavior and natural history. Throughout the past 25 years, he has conducted studies on crustacean behavior ranging from evolution of parental care behaviors to mating interactions and anti-predator behaviors. He is also interested in dispersal ecology and biogeography and in promoting the participation of citizen scientists in marine research (www.cientificosdelabasura.cl).
