Carcinus aestuarii bears some similarities to Carcinus maenas and was sometimes considered to be a subspecies thereof, rather than a species in its own right, but a molecular biological study using the [cytochrome c oxidase] gene found the difference between the two taxa to be substantial, supporting their status as separate species. 3, record 1, English, - Mediterranean%20green%20crab
