Dumaguete Day #1 is in the books and wow did we have some awesome critters to kick things off. The stars today were the ribbon eels (we saw 3 on the middle dive), the many species of shrimp, crabs, and anemonefish covering every anemone, and the two species of mantis shrimp we spotted on the last dive.
Italy’s blue crab invasion: If you can’t beat ’em, eat ’em.
The invasive species is now feasting on young clams and mussels, along with fish roe and other aquatic life, endangering the country’s culinary shellfish tradition.
“These crabs have been here for quite a while but were still pretty hard to come by just about a year ago. Now even a simple wooden fishing boat returns to the dock with dozens of them on board.”
Hurrying home now, extra fast I hope the train takes me. Partner had mentioned in a message she couldn't help get a bit of #crab - already all cleaned and everything at the grocery store, just had to cook. Now kid2 sends me this pic, message - looks like it's cooked! #Food#Cooking#Indian#Curry #DasInKobe
I like this crab’s style. It’s a porcelain crab, Neopetrolisthes maculatus. Porcelain crabs are decapod crustaceans in the family Porcellanidae, which resemble true crabs but are in fact closer related to squat lobsters. 🧵1/2
Alaska's snow #crab season is canceled for second year in a row
An estimated 10 BILLION crabs disappeared in 2022 — a 90% plunge in the population. Panic now taking hold in Alaska's fisheries, which produce 60% of America's seafood🦀
May is crab month for #InsertAnInvert2024 🦀 & the first prompt is “true crab.” Time after time shrimp like crustaceans have evolved crablike forms (through a process called carcinization) & do a good job of pretending to be crabs, but this odd looking fellow is the real deal, a true crab. My red frog crab (Ranina ranina), also known as a spanner crab or Huỳnh Đế crab, is hand-printed on Japanese kozo paper. 🧵1/n #linocut#printmaking#crustacean#crab#frogCrab#MastoArt#wildlifeArt
I made a pattern of my linocut porcelain crab for #InsertAnInvert2024! Porcelain crabs, Neopetrolisthes maculatus are decapod crustaceans in the family Porcellanidae, which resemble true crabs but are in fact closer related to squat lobsters. These are 1 of at least 5 groups of decapod crustaceans which have evolved to be more crab-shaped in a process known as carsinisation. Find this on Spoonflower minouette shop
A porcelain crab for #InsertAnInvert2024! Looks like a crab, has crab in its name…is it a crab? Nope. False crab. Porcelain crabs, Neopetrolisthes maculatus are decapod crustaceans in the family Porcellanidae, which resemble true crabs but are in fact closer related to squat lobsters. They have flattened bodies as an adaptation for living in rock crevices. 🧵1/2
