The Puerto Rican sand crab, Emerita portoricensis, is a species of "sand crab" belonging to the genus Emerita, which is native to the main island of Puerto Rico and its archipelago.[1] This species has also been found on beaches off the coast of Venezuela.[2] The most detailed study conducted on the species was done by Miguel P. Sastre between 1988 and 1992.[1] This investigation determined that the species has diotic traits and that there are size and survival differences between sexes. Both sexes reach sexual maturity three months after birth.[3]
