Abstract
1. 1. Interrelations between branchial chamber volume, gill weight, carapace width and body weight in three crabs from freshwater, mangrove and intertidal habitats were studied. 2. 2. Ucides cordatus has the greatest branchial chamber volume and the least gill supply. 3. 3. The curves obtained for U. cordatus were similar to those for other gecarcinids. 4. 4. U. cordatus possesses seven pairs of gills, in a highly vascularized branchial chamber which does not bear water. Their ventilation is bilateral.
