ON THE RARE AND LESS KNOWN SHAMEFACED CRAB CALAPPA GRANULATA (BRACHYURA, CALAPPIDAE) IN THE NORTHERN ADRIATIC SEA
Il primo agosto 2016 e il 23 luglio 2017 sono stati catturati due esemplari di granchio melograno Calappa granulata (Linnaeus, 1758) nell’area più settentrionale del mare Adriatico e ne rappresentano rispettivamente la seconda e la terza segnalazione uffi ciale. Attualmente le catture di questa specie commerciale non sembrano più inconsuete come nel passato. È ancora troppo presto per avanzare ipotesi riguardo al suo insediamento in pianta stabile su quest’area, tuttavia l’espansione verso nord di questa specie può costituire un ulteriore conseguenza del riscaldamento globale dei mari.
On 1st August 2016 and 23th July 2017 two specimens of the shamefaced crab Calappa granulata (Linnaeus, 1758) were caught in the northernmost area of the Adriatic Sea and represent the second and third offi cial record, respectively. More recently the records of this commercial species start to be no more unusual in this northern region. It is too early to express any reliable comment regarding whether or not this species established a breeding population in this area, however we could consider its northward extension as another consequence of global warming.
