CONT

L'espèce Eriocheir sinensis a été introduite en Europe par hasard vers 1912, d'où elle a progressivement gagné la Baltique [...] Très reconnaissable aux touffes de poils des chélipèdes, particulièrement abondants chez les mâles. La croissance se fait en eau douce mais le crabe migre vers la mer pour la reproduction. Tonalité vert-gris.
