This photograph shows a blue crab (Callinectes sapidus)in a salt pond (Salins) near the Mediterranean see in Hyeres, southeastern France, on May 28, 2026. A "super predator" and "super breeder," nothing seems able to stop the blue crab which, having come from America, is threatening the ecosystems of the French Mediterranean, with only one way so far to limit its spread: eating it.
