摘要: Green crabs (Carcinus, Portunidae) include two species native to Europe—Carcinus aestuarii (Mediterranean species) and Carcinus maenas (Atlantic species). These small shore (maximal length carapace, approximately 10 cm) show rapid growth, high fecundity, long planktonic larval stages that facilitate broad dispersion. spp. have a tolerance fluctuations of environmental factors including oxygen, salinity, temperature, xenobiotic compounds, others. Shipping over the past centuries has resulted in its invasions America, Asia, Australia. Classified as one world’s 100 worst invaders by International Union for Conservation Nature, are most widely distributed intertidal world. Their voracious predatory activity makes them strong interactors local communities, they recognized model invasiveness marine systems well sentinel ecotoxicology. This review shows an exhaustive analysis literature on life cycle, diversity, physiological tolerance, genomic investigations, ecotoxicological use, historical invasion, control programs, putative economical valorization crabs.
