| taxon = Cancer johngarthi | authority = Carvacho, 1989 }} Cancer johngarthi is a species of crab that lives in the eastern Pacific Ocean from Mexico to Panama. It was separated from C. porteri in 1989, and is the subject of a small-scale fishery off Baja California. DistributionC. johngarthi lives along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Central America, from 29°N at Isla Guadalupe to 7°N in Panama, including southern parts of the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez).[1]Description and taxonomic historyC. johngarthi was only recognised as a separate species in 1989, its members having previously been treated under C. porteri.[1] The specific epithet commemorates John Shrader Garth of the University of Southern California;[1] Garth had recorded "C. porteri" from Sinaloa, Mexico, in 1961.[1] It differs from C. porteri chiefly in the "paper shell" texture of the carapace. C. johngarthi also has longer legs and stouter claws, although the differences in claws are not clear in juveniles, due to differences in allometry.[1] According to data from experimental fisheries, captured males varied in size from a carapace width of {{convert|98|mm|abbr=on}} to {{convert|176|mm|abbr=on}}, while females were slightly smaller, at {{convert|87|-|153|mm|abbr=on}}.[2]FisheryIn 2004, the government of Mexico approved a trial fishery for C. johngarthi off the Baja California peninsula, initially restricted to two fishing vessels, with only one of the two actually engaging in fishing for C. johngarthi.[3] The fishery consists of truncated conical crab pots, each {{convert|60|cm|abbr=on}} tall, and tapering from {{convert|150|cm|abbr=on}} at the base to {{convert|75|cm|abbr=on}} at the top. They are placed {{convert|30|-|40|m|abbr=on}} apart at depths of {{convert|100|-|400|m|abbr=on}}.[3] The catch per unit effort decreases the longer the traps are left in place,[3] and the majority of the crabs caught in the traps was male.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite journal |author=Alberto Carvacho |year=1989 |title=Cancer johngarthi, n. sp. and Cancer porteri (Bell) (Crustacea, Decapoda) |journal=Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington |volume=102 |issue=3 |pages=613–619 |url=http://biostor.org/reference/74602}} 2. ^1 {{cite journal |author1=Marcial Villalejo-Fuerte |author2=Mauricio Ramírez-Rodríguez |author3=Eduardo F.
