Cancer bellianus, the toothed rock crab, is a common species of crab in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean.
Description
It grows up to Шаблон:Convert in carapace length, and is pale brown with red spots.[1]
Distribution and ecology
Its geographical range extends from near Höfn on the south coast of Iceland (at nearly 64° N) south to Morocco, including the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands.[2] It is found at depths from Шаблон:Convert to over Шаблон:Convert.[3] While the species is sometimes abundant in the south of its range, it is uncommon further north; all the specimens from Brittany and further north were male, and are thought to be recent travellers from further south, rather than representing a stable northern population.[4]
Fisheries
C. bellianus is caught as bycatch by artisan fishermen targeting Palinurus elephas, and as much as 10 t can be caught annually.[2]
