N2 - The purpose of this chapter was to congregate the information about the morphological traits of the crabs, their integrated association and effect on individual life history, population, speciation and stock assessment so that it could lay a foundation for better understanding in the field of taxonomic and phylogenetic studies, ecological studies as well as for the stock assessment and management of commercially important species. The allometric applications can be applied through various ways depends upon the type of specimen. Various metric analyses are commonly performed on the organism and are also useful in analyzing their fossil record, the impact of mutations on shape, developmental changes in form, covariances between ecological factors and shape, as well as for estimating quantitative-genetic parameters of shape and size. The data analyses and interpretation through various software is also included in this chapter.
