Abstract:

An amazing number of crabs that vary in size, shape, and color inhabit the state's waters. Among them are the speckled crab, lady crab, black-fingered mud crab, ghost crab, and purse crab. Blue crabs are the major edible crabs in North Carolina and the state's most economically important seafood species.
