[CAT] En aquesta nota es deixa constància del quart exemplar de cranc de la creu, Charybdis (Charybdis) feriata (Linné, 1758) que es registra a la Mediterrània occidental, essent aquest el primer exemplar detectat a la costa valenciana. Aquest individu va ser capturat prop del Grau de Castelló de la Plana. La importància del registre esdevé perquè constata l'expansió de l'espècie a l'oest de la Mediterrània, donada l'evolució geogràfica dels exemplars registrats fins al moment en el conjunt de la Mediterrània. Es discuteix sobre la possible cohabitació a la Mediterrània occidental d'aquesta espècie amb altres crancs de gran talla presents en aquesta mar, com el cranc blau americà, Callinectes sapidus, i el cranc blau indo-pacífic, Portunus segnis, degut a les diferències de temperatura, salinitat i hàbitat preferencial que presenten aquestes espècies
[EN] This note records the fourth specimen of the Crucifix Crab, Charybdis (Charybdis) feriata (Linné, 1758) to be registered in the western Mediterranean, this being the first specimen detected along the Valencian coast, specifically in front of Grau de Castelló de la Plana. The importance of this finding lies in the fact that this individual expands the known distribution range of the species in the Mediterranean, thus showing a slow geographic extension of the recorded specimens in a NE-SW direction following the main oceanographic current present in the area, the Mediterranean Northern Current. We also discuss the possible coexistence with other large crabs present in the area, such as the American Blue Crab, Callinectes sapidus, and the Blue Swimming Crab, Portunus segnis given their habitat, temperature, and salinity preferences
This piece of research is a result of the cooperative efforts among fishers, administration and scientists performed by ICATMAR, IEO-CSIC and ICM-CSIC.-- 5 pages, 2 figures, 1 table
