Talk:Carcinus maenas

Untitled

We propose to add a section titled "Non Indigenous Range" and to add information to the "Ecology" and "C. maenas as an invasive species" section.--PBG250 00:04, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

I have a question: In areas where they are particularly bad, why has nobody thought to try to fish them as food (soft shelled?) They may not be very big, but as they are indeed reproducing like rabbits I think a large pot full of them could compensate....

Reference 6

The reference doesn't match up to the link... (Sorry if this isn't the right way to post this!) PJFraser (talk) 16:38, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing it out – now fixed! --Stemonitis (talk) 16:35, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

The picture

Is it just me or is it missing a leg? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.205.232.26 (talk) 19:24, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Suggestions new categories: predation, reproduction, invasive vs native affects. ==

Some categories that could be expanded upon or included in this article include predation, reproduction, native vs invasive range behaviors. The article outlines the green crab’s prey but does not go into specifics as to how the crabs locate, hunt, or consume the prey by opening shells, cracking shells or another method. By exploring the methods of predation, it could show in more depth how they affect their prey species in native and invasive ranges. Additionally, the mating mechanisms and reproductive strategy of the parents is not included. There is a section that talks about the number of eggs the crabs have but limited information regarding mate selection or mating events. There is a large focus on the article of the crab’s impact in their invasive regions, how does their behavior and strategies differ in their native and invasive ranges? How does their prey compare in their different regions? The comparison between native and invasive ranges in terms of conditions, prey, and control is scattered throughout but the consolidation could more clearly articulate the impact the crab's are having. Additionally, their new prey may be dependent on the area they are in, as they are invasive in many different environments globally each one is likely to be different.
