The blue crab is one of the worst invasive species in the Mediterranean, impacting biodiversity and small-scale fishing. This species is therefore a priority in measures to preserve lagoon biodiversity. This voracious blue predator is also a highly prized resource in its native range. What if, in the Mediterranean, eating blue crab was a way of regulating populations and preserving biodiversity?
