Blue crab

horseshoe crab was marked as (1) if its eyes were still very clear, and if its prosoma showed no signs of epibionts, had a lustrous sheen to it and a mottled pattern of black colored lines.

In order to be marked as (3), the horseshoe crab had…

It always seems to come down to this question, the “who am I?” An entire branch of philosophy devoted to how to approach the question and still, I have no definite answer, though there has been some great art to come out of it. Thankfully, I have a bit more… “specificity” to work with, limits have been put down, as well as the much easier “why” to scribe. All about the idea of nature. That laid out, it turns the question from “Who am I?” to why am I doing this? The question more manageable, it’s…

Apprehensively daring to ask, “How many crabs will we catch?” Dr. Edwards replied, “We are allowed ten per person, so fifty.” Mauricio who had only been left with two in his catch nervously observed Dr. Edwards and commented, “You make all this look and sound so easy!” Dr. Edwards mentioned, “I have been doing this since I was a boy with my father. It’s now second nature to clamp the claw with one smooth swoop, just pick him up and drop him in the live well like this.” Rigid Mauricio…

amplified the voices of the river and her inhabitants. The little girl listened. Fishermen from villages all along the coast spoke of the declining clam harvest. Little clams seemed to have disappeared overnight. Where had the spat gone? The green crabs gobbled…

Tom’s the Fiddler Crab Catcher One late afternoon, as I looked out from a large window where I work, I saw this raggedy white van pulling into the parking lot. As It park towards the north side of the lot, I noticed the AC unit protruding from the back door. My attention changed as a customer came in I greeted him and, as usual with his nasty attitude he said “Newport one hundred on a box, a blue game and the rest on pump 5”. He dangled the bundled up twenty-dollar bill on the counter, revolved…

The horseshoe crab marvelous reign may come to an end because we are interacting with these fascinating creatures. Humans should not interact with these magnificent creatures because interacting with these creatures can cause…

When the crab gets closer, my father pulled out a fishing net and would use it to scoop the crabs up. My…
