Chinese crabs infiltrating the U.S.?
American Thinker:
By Eric Utter
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife recently announced that a Chinese mitten crab was caught last month by a person fishing in the Lower Columbia River in the central part of the state. This species of crab was outlawed in the state more than a decade ago due to its aggressive and highly adaptive nature, which can lead to the damaging of ecosystems and the displacement of other native species.
A question: why is every invasive species — whether plant or animal — more aggressive, and better at adapting and procreating than any of our native U.S. ones? Why did we get the weak-kneed flora and fauna? Mirroring the Chinese themselves, it is obvious that none of the legion of invasive species which hail from China is worried about ‘toxic masculinity.’ Maybe if our native species—and we ourselves—were more masculine we could better fend them off. more here
The Chinese mitten crab also known as the Shanghai hairy crab.
The U.S. foolishly overprotects too many native species.
Really? Google the Golden Mussel. Also from China. It has every damn lake in California shut down right now. Including the lake I can see out the front of my house. Folsom. That crabs a fart in a wind storm compared to their damn mussel.
Huh. I was wondering what that itch was.
@Brad – We have zebra mussels here in the Great Lakes.
This could be a total disaster for our native Dungeness fisheries which are one of the most commercially important natural resource industries on the west coast. Our Washington/Alaska Dungeness crabbers would be devastated.
Another huge failure of our ports under Biden.
Why does all this shit come from Asia? Does anyone realize that by far the majority of garbage that flows into any ocean comes from Asia? How about air pollution? Between China, India, and all the rest of Asia goes the US is nothing when it come to world wide pollution! Invasive species, it sounds like we have many thousands military age males that are illegal invaders! This is a bunch of shit if you ask me!

We did the Zebra mussel about ten years ago. Your people should call my people. The San Joaquin Delta, My fav Bass Fishery, is also a deep water port. All the way up into Stockton CA. So we get these Chicom freighters that roll through and when the drop anchor, guess what. Yes, their shit craps been living on their anchors all across the Pacific. They can’t control this crap on the Delta. But if you put you’re boat in the Delta you can’t put it any place else. Fine with me.
Some of them are in kim kardashian’s and paris hilton’s panties.
Maybe they dropped them from the balloons.
Zebra Mussels and probably these crabs are gifts from foreign countries they bring in their ships ballast tanks from foreign waters.
They’re saying that Chinese Mitten Crabs aren’t obeying Oregon state law?
If you don’t want Chinese crabs don’t have sex with a Chinese woman.
… or sex with Chinese mittens.
Those hand crabs are the worst.
Nooo Anonymous! Now somebody on Only Fans has stolen your idea.
Ugh.
It took longer than I expected to see Fang Fang references…
harvest them and eat them. Way better than crickets and other bugs
Somehow, European Green crabs got to Oregon about twenty years ago, and now they are in every estuary on the coast, with no way to control them.
