After releasing, the J1 were reared individually until mature. Four female G. tsaye with 48 juveniles were collected from August, 1996 to May, 1998 and raised for approximately 10 months. Among them, 5 juveniles (2 males and 3 females) were raised beyond the 8th stage (J8). From J1 to J9, respectively took about 29, 17, 16, 24, 26, 34, 75 and 78 days; the sum was about 299 days. From mating to breeding needed about 105 days. About 14 days needed from laying eggs to J1 being hatched. The width of the carapace of J1 was about 4 mm and it increases to about 18 mm in J8. The growth of the width of its carapace enhanced steadily and linearly during the previous 6 stages. Whenever exuviate, the females grew about 1.99 mm in carapace-width in average while the males about 2.05 mm. According to the record of the research that the width of carapace of the smallest wild female pregnant crab was 20.25 mm. It can be deduced that G. tsayae turn to be an adult ones in J9 while reared in laboratory; that is, the J1 becomes mature after one-year raising. In this report, we also introduce in details about sexualdimorphic characteristics of G. tsayae during the period of growth.淡水蟹蔡氏澤蟹生活史性雙型Fresh-water crabGeothelphusa tsayaeLife historySexual dimorphism
