Abstract:

Blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, were collected from sites along the Louisiana coastline between 2010 and 2015. Crabs were examined for the presence/absence of the parasitic dinoflagellate, Hematodinium perezi. This dataset reports latitude, longitude, year, salinity and temperature for sites where crabs were collected along with the sex, length, presence/absence of H. perezi, and maturity for each crab.
