Hairy Crab Habits
We know that the so-called hairy crab, usually refers to the Chinese mitten crab, that is, the two large chelipeds on the black and gray hairs of the kind of freshwater crabs. It has been labeled "Chinese" because it is unique to China. Some people mistakenly believe that this is only a specialty of the Yangtze River Delta, wrong.
The Chinese mitten crab species, north to the Yalu River, south to the Pearl River, there are traces of it, the Liao crab, Yangtze River crab, Shao (Xing) crab, Zhu (Jiang) crab, they are from north to south, just outlined a through the north and south of the distribution of water crabs in the regional map.
Obviously, this distribution, in line with the life habits of hairy crabs. Hairy crabs are a migratory animal, every year after the lunar calendar in August and September, the mature hairy crabs will leave the habitat (lakes), down the river, into the river and the sea intersection of the region mating, producing crab seedlings. Some places, or too far away from the sea, or there is no suitable lake for hairy crabs to grow, or there is no river for hairy crabs to go through the sea, are not OK.?
