This is the most important edible crab fishery in Europe (Ref. 2762). Maximum depth from Ref. 106870. Occurs from the intertidal area to a depth of 100 m, common at depths 6 to 40 m (Ref. 435). Regularly found just above low tide mark. Found in an estuary (Ref. 106870). Inhabits rocky or sandy bottom (Ref. 96377). Carnivore; trophic level 3.1 (Ref. 96418).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer.
