| Description | The swimming crab Charybdis japonica is recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea. A single adult male specimen was caught in 2006 with gill-net at the entrance of Ancona harbour, on the Adriatic coast of Italy. No other specimens have been found despite extensive surveys of the environs of the port. Unintentional transport by a merchant ship seems the most likely vector of introduction. |
