With their sleek profile, spiked shells, eyes positioned at the tips of short optical stalks, menacing mouths, and jagged claws ever quick to strike, the blue crab looks more devilish than beautiful.
Of the 998 species of crab identified and named by the late Dr. Mary J. Rathburn, the pre-eminent carcinologist (a term most correctly used to distinguish crab studying scientists, not cancer researchers) who coined its Greek/Latin label, the blue crab is the most caught, sought and consumed of all the world’s crabs.
Perhaps that popularity among consumers and the economic value they represent to those who rise before dawn to pursue them accounts for their attractiveness or simply underscores the adage that beauty indeed is in the eye of the beholder.
