stone crab
A stone crab is a type of marine crustacean belonging to the family Menippidae, found primarily in North America, from Connecticut to Belize. They are especially recognized for their large, firm claws which are considered a delicacy. One distinguishing feature of the stone crab is its ability to regenerate lost limbs. This capacity has led to sustainable harvesting practices where fishermen only remove one claw from the crab before returning it to the ocean.
