Après la mue, le crabe conserve une carapace molle pendant un certain temps; un crabe à carapace molle est ainsi désigné en fonction de la dureté de sa carapace (<68 unités de duromètre). Le terme crabe blanc désigne à la fois les crabes à carapace molle qui viennent de muer et les crabes propres à carapace dure (catégories 1 et 2). 2, record 1, French, - crabe%20%C3%A0%20carapace%20molle
