Atlantic Blue Crabs

Atlantic Blue Crabs or just blue crab is a native to Atlantic waters around the southern eastern United States and Gulf of Mexico. Blue crab have been an important source of North American and European fisheries since the 1500’s or earlier. Fisheries exist along much of the Gulf Coast as well as the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Historically, as early as the 1600’s, blue crab has been an important source of food for Native Americans around the Chesapeake Bay. They have also been used effectively as bait throughout much of this same area, serving a dual purpose in the fishery economy. The largest blue crab fishery in the world now exists in Louisiana with twenty two percent of the nations blue crab harvested there. Prior to Louisiana, the largest blue crab fishery in the world for more than a century was located at the Chesapeake Bay. The region around the Chesapeake Bay is a significant site for crabbing, with even recreational crabbing catch numbers reaching near four million pounds. Blue Crabs are harvested using pots specially designed to allow the crabs into the pot but affords them no means of escape.
