22. Japanese spider crab (Macrocheira Kaempferi) gets its name from its
resemblance to a spider. It has an orange body with white spots on its
legs. The short, stubby eye stalks are located on the front of the carapace
and two thin spines stick out between them. Short, spiny tubercles also
cover the carapace. In male specimens, the limbs on which the claw are
located become longer than its other limbs.
Japanese spider crab is one of the largest living arthropods. Fully grown it
can reach a leg span of 12 feet (3.7 m), a body size (carapace width) of 15
inches (38 cm) and weigh as much as 44 pounds (20 kg). The width of the
oval-shaped and vertically rounded shell can reach up to 12 inches (30
cm) and can be up to 16 inches (41 cm) long. Males are larger than the
females.
Japanese spider crabs are omnivorous and scavenge for food. In its
natural habitat it feeds on shellfish and dead animals. They can eat algae,
plants, molluscs and small fish, catching and tearing up the meat in their
powerful pincers. Their long legs enable them to move quite quickly and
stalk their prey.
Japanese spider crabs are not active hunters, live at deep depths and do
not have many predators. Their sensory systems are not as acute as those
of many other decapods.
