Variation of the reproductive attributes of E. sinensis among the highly, moderately and lowly suitable habitat groups (mean and 95% confidence interval) a changes in the structural metrics, b the basis status of females and hepatopancreas, c the status of the gonads and fertilized egg mass (CW carapace width, CL carapace length, BW body weight, HW hepatopancreas weight, HSI hepatosomatic index, GW gonadosomatic weight, GSI gonadosomatic index, AF absolute fecundity, RF relative fecundity). Different letters indicate statistically significant differences between means (p < 0.05), according to Duncan’s test (α = 0.05)
