摘要

Most of us encounter the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, on a dinner plate—often in an unrecognizable mass described as a "crab cake." The blue crab's participation in various appetizing recipes supports an important fishery along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States, where tens of millions of crabs are harvested annually. In recent years, however, the commercial crab industry on the East Coast has suffered a significant decline. Blue crab landings along coastal Georgia, for example, dropped well below the 45-year average of 3.9 million kilograms to about 816,000 kilos in 2002. The effect of this dramatic crash has been catastrophic. Fishermen whose families have caught blue crabs for generations are going bankrupt, and the cost of crabs for consumers has soared.
