(ANSA) – ROME, AUGUST 01 – The blue king crab “is gradually appearing on our coasts, colonizing them, after having gone up the warm seas. It is a very impactful species for all the others: it has a dominant factor also because it can have important dimensions and with the claws, they could also be able to eat our crabs. They risk to overrule and climb the food chain of the coast. Any damage, however, we will see them in a few months, especially after their reproduction “. This is what Roberto Scacchi, president of Legambiente Lazio, explains to ANSA about the blue king crab, which made its appearance on the Lazio coast, in Ladispoli.
The blame for this ’emigration’ for Scacchi must be traced “above all to the increase in the temperature of our waters, which allows non-native species to proliferate and reproduce”. “There is a tropicalization of our sea – he explained – which is also changing the biological network.
The species arrive and find themselves well “, added the president, underlining:” To date it is not dangerous for humans but obviously we still do not know the overall impact. In the coming months we will check whether it will also have effects on some economic implications, such as fishing “. (ANSA).
