skimmer > Eelgrass Beds of Great South Bay > nikon crab silver 2 (2)
skimmer > Members of the eelgrass community have unique adaptations which enable them to exchange gases and ingest their specific food source. Look closely to find the blue claw crab in the center of the picture.
skimmer > Blue claws belong to the group of swimming crabs, family Portunidae. The two distal leg segments on the last pair of walking legs are flattened into paddles and pivoted to a near-horizontal position. These flexible legs rotate over the carapace in a sculling action to give the crab both lift and propulsion. Over short distances, they can swim at speeds up to one meter per second.
skimmer > Callinectes sapidus As a voracious predator, the blue claw crab can swiftly attack with its sharp-toothed chelipeds and can pluck a small fish right of the water. Picking up a blue claw requires both dexterity and temerity...they pack a fierce pinch!
