On the rare and less known shamefaced crab Calappa granulata (Brachyura, Calappidae) in the Northern Adriatic SeaBettoso, Nicola (Avtor) Kirinčić, Marin (Avtor) Mavrič, Borut (Avtor) Lipej, Lovrenc (Avtor) shamefaced crabnorthern Adriaticglobal warmingOn 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.20182024-08-07 07:19:42Neznano20164UDK: 595.384.2ISSN pri članku: 1408-533XDOI: 10.19233/ASHN.2018.03COBISS_ID: 4745295sl
