Crab Caught

Fishermen operating out of Guardamar del Segura have called for action against the blue crab, after one was caught by them last week (picture from the Informacion newspaper). The Atlantic blue crab comes from the western Atlantic Ocean and is a predator that threatens all kinds of Mediterranean mollusc species like cockles and jellyfish, as well as some types of fish, leading to concerns from local fishermen, who have called for special traps to be installed.
