The origin of the name of hairy crabs: Because they can be farmed artificially in rivers, they are named river crabs. However, because the appearance of Eriocheir sinensis is too similar to other crabs, it is easy to be mistaken by customers when buying in the market, so people renamed it hairy crab according to its appearance characteristics (hairy legs).
Eriocheir sinensis is deeply loved by aquatic lovers because of its strong reproductive ability, low requirements for breeding environment, rich nutrition and delicious meat. Aquaculture farmers are also happy to breed hairy crabs, so they produce the largest number of crabs every year. It can be seen that hairy crabs occupy a large market share in the crab market.
