The Dungeness Crab
(Cancer magister)
(Pupsulek)
The Dungeness crab is a well known shellfish which
is found on the open coast and inside salt waters of Alaska. It can
be found as far north as 61 degrees N. latitude and south to
Magdelena Bay, Mexico.
This crab is named for a coastal fishing village
in Washington called Dungeness. It has a flattened body that is
covered by a hard chitonous shell, and two if its 10 legs have large
pincers. It is related to shrimp, lobster and other crabs. The
Dungeness crab can be told apart from other commercially important
crabs, such as the King crab and the Tanner crab, because its legs
are smaller and shorter compared to its body size. A large male
Dungeness crab can be nine inches or more in shell width. The
predicted life span of this crab is approximately eight
years.
When the mature male and female mate, the female
stores the sperm for several weeks or until her eggs are fully
developed. She then projects the eggs out onto her abdominal flap
where they are fertilized. A large female crab can carry 2.5 million
eggs. After three or four years of being alive, the young crabs will
be sexually mature.
Dungeness crabs like living on a sandy or muddy
bottom in salt water. However, they are very tolerant to salinity
changes, so they can also be found in bays and estuaries where fresh
water mixes with salt water. Large amounts of Dungeness crabs can be
found in water of less than 10 fathoms, but they have been found in
depths down to 100 fathoms.
These shellfish can be caught for sport, but they
are mostly caught commercially.
