The British coast is on fire again, millions of crabs occupy the beach, and tourists dare not go into the water! Why don't the locals catch it? The answer is definitely unexpected!
This is the second time that the British Cornwall coast has been on the hot search this year, and this time it is much easier than the previous shark attack on tourists.
When tourists were playing on the beach, they suddenly found that there were a lot of "black stones" in the water, and they realized that this was a dense crab!
These crabs are spider crabs, which are invasive alien species and do not have much impact on local waters and the natural environment.
They usually live in deep water, have no sense of existence, and come to the shallow water of the sea to dehull at the hottest time every year.
Like many animals, spider crabs rely on shelling to cope with their increased size.
Spider crabs are relatively timid, and the new shell is very soft, and they will become the prey of seabirds when they act alone, so they generally act in pairs.
But such a large-scale spider crab "rally" is the first time it has been encountered, and experts say it may be related to global warming.
This summer has been unusually hot and has lasted a long time, with a large number of spider crabs gathering here to dehull.
In addition to temperature, it also has a lot to do with Brexit.
Before Brexit, these spider crabs were sold to France as high-end ingredients, without the need for cumbersome quarantine work.
But now not only are export procedures complicated, but most importantly there are no quarantine agencies at the border – the EU did not expect the UK to leave the EU.
Spider crabs are thus abandoned in shallow waters in Britain, and the more they breed, the more they become , and gradually become "infested".
Speaking of this, the little friend may have begun to swallow, so why don't the locals eat so many spider crabs?
In fact, in the coastal areas of the United Kingdom, there has always been a habit of eating spider crabs.
Every summer, diving enthusiasts catch spider crabs, boil them immediately after landing, and the taste is fresh and sweet, which is a childhood memory of many British people.
It can be exported to France so delicious, how can it still be flooded? That's because you don't yet understand the eating habits of the British.
In the British concept, seafood is an "indecent" food that does not fit their gentlemanly demeanor. Especially seafood with shells, abandoning knives and forks and grasping them with their hands is more terrible than killing them!
Although the British are now more "open" than in the past, they are still not good at eating shelled seafood.
This leads to spider crabs only being "occasionally enjoyed" and not often eaten.
The British maintain a neutral attitude towards spider crabs, and tourists can eat them as long as they can catch them.
So there are many foreigners traveling to the British seaside at this time of year, and there are also "self-service crab dinners" in the blue sky and blue sea, think about it!
Seeing this, I believe that many small partners will be distressed by these British locals to tears flowing from the corners of their mouths, and when the epidemic has passed, they are eager to fly over to help the locals reduce their burden! #人人能科普, there are new knowledge ##crab ##英国 everywhere #
