The supply of planktonic larvae to adult populations is an important contributor to the spatial and temporal variability of benthic marine organisms. The ability to predict spatial patterns of larvae and recruits from the physical and biological processes that facilitate dispersal is required in order to advise and evaluate conservation and fisheries management decisions. In the present study, the horizontal distribution of Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) and red rock crab (Cancer productus) zoeae was described from surveys conducted in the Strait of Georgia in the spring of 2009 and 2010. Processes that may be responsible for generating spatial variability of larvae were evaluated based on (i) horizontal overlap between larvae and water properties, (ii) spatial dependence of larvae and water properties, and (iii) changes in the dispersion of stage-specific distributions. Interspecific variability between horizontal patterns of the first and second larval stages was primarily attributed to differences in the distribution of larval release locations, which appeared to be restricted to the southern and central strait for C. magister. Potential effects of physical processes on larval distributions are also discussed
