Product Description Also known as the Atlantic blue crab and the Chesapeake blue crab, the blue crab is common species of crab found throughout the western Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. As their name suggests, they can easily be identified by their vibrant blue colour. Blue crabs are opportunistic hunters, and have been known to eat anything they can get their claws on. Don’t worry, this beautifully hand painted and professionally designed blue crab is a bit small to consider you as its next meal! Blue crabs have predominantly cerulean limbs, although their carapace is a dark green colour in certain sections. 5 inches long and 7 inches wide, this figurine is about as wide as a dollar bill and as long as a 16 oz. water bottle on its side. Blue crabs have been an important resource for many different cultures for centuries. Even in the 1600’s, Native Americans and early American settlers harvested blue crabs as a form of sustenance. However, as time progressed blue crabs began to become overharvested, mainly due to their use as an effective bait for fisheries. Because of this, there are now regulations in place to help maintain and safeguard the blue crab’s global population.
