Abstract
Burrows may be of different shape and size,
simple or complex, having many branches or a single opening depending upon the
animal. Various techniques have been used by biologists to determine the
morphological patterns and other environmental effects on the burrow architecture.
Burrows are simple tunnels, descending downwards either straight or slightly
slanted, with or without branches. The burrow exhibits L, S, or Y like shapes.
The relationship between Area of burrow opening (Sq. cm) and crab carapace
width (mm) and burrow depth at Asna River were (r = 0.268 and r = 0.160) and at
Lendi river it was (r = 0.046 and r = 0.160).
