Everyone hates the crabs but, they are just trying to survive and the only reason why its hated is bc its invasive but ae are the ones who released them in the first place
In Italy they are well liked as soft shell ‘moleche’ and we are trying to develop a market here in New England for soft shell too. Because most are under 3” carapace for shard shell they are better for making seafood stock, though I also like them deep fried as they have a nice crispy texture and seafood flavor. They have decimated native soft shell clam populations in Maine and destroyed that fishery in the process, throwing the marine ecosystem into chaos.
I hate how science classifies things as invasive...Invasive to who? I think we need to stop trying to control everything so much and learn to ADAPT like these creatures do. Without us, they STILL would find a way to get there...
@@rainy729 I understand we influence it more, but in time, a piece of drift wood or something else would do the same thing. It’s inevitable things move, spread and evolve. God wrote it into our dna…evolution baby. We still need to learn to adapt more efficently.
@@scottlincoln9900 Don't think anyone can tell for sure what would've happened naturally without human influence, but I feel like things wouldn't have been so drastically changed. A piece of driftwood, or thousands of them, following currents and exposed to predation is completely different to a man-made vessel following specific courses and offering way more protection to these hitch hikers. Things would not have been the same, most likely.
Crabulous! 👍👍👍👍
Abundant here in north Yorkshire, great cod fishing bait when the shed their shells. We call them peeler crabs.
Crabs 🦀 are cool.
Hi thanks for all of your wonderful videos! Lost our power today, so watching all of the video's on our phone ... learning and having fun!🐌🐟🐠🦈🐡
For your next video can you do a video about elephant seals
And a video about royal sea cucumbers, and royal starfish
Do calappa crab next video! like the shame faced box crab
Does anyone know how far in and out they travel with each tide cycle? Trying to figure out the best place to position traps.

Macro-aggressive to call them invasive when they are migrant newcomers.

Invasive to local species. They destroy the ecosystem.
I think you underestimate how strong human influence can be.
